*There was some piano music coming from inside the apartment. *
William Artegio (Jul 19, 2011 2:21:28 AM)
*wrapping lightly on the door, William leans back against the wall fingering an old ID card and holding a bottle of wine. He waits for Selma to answer the door patiently.*
Selma Nelson (Jul 19, 2011 2:22:29 AM)
*She moved to the door and opened it up, seeing william there, she held the door open for him and motioned him inside with a sweep of her arm* please do come in.
William Artegio (Jul 19, 2011 2:23:41 AM)
*He nodded and offered her the bottle of wine.* Been a while Selma, how are you? He stepped into the apartment and made his way to the kitchen grabbing a couple of glasses for them.*
Selma Nelson (Jul 19, 2011 2:25:30 AM)
I have been good. *she followed william to the kitchen. Eyes watching him* Is my help needed again?
William Artegio (Jul 19, 2011 2:27:28 AM)
No, just needed to come by and see you. *He tossed her Janette's old ID card and set the two glasses on the table and looked for the corkscrewr w1`
William Artegio (Jul 19, 2011 2:27:38 AM)
[stupid keyboard]
Selma Nelson (Jul 19, 2011 2:28:00 AM)
*She looked at the i.d card then looked towards william*What happened to her?
William Artegio (Jul 19, 2011 2:28:38 AM)
*he looked at her and smirked.* She got hit by a bus and now I'm in here. Where I belong.
Selma Nelson (Jul 19, 2011 2:30:00 AM)
Hit by a bus? *Then she heard that he was in there where he belonged* ohhhhh.. *She could not imagine it whole host would not do her well.. But it seemed janet was pleased with her new host form.* You enjoy your new form then?
William Artegio (Jul 19, 2011 2:31:03 AM)
I should have been in this form to begin with. I was never ment to be in a woman's body, She was just what was available and had the proper resonance.
Selma Nelson (Jul 19, 2011 2:35:27 AM)
*She looked at him and then slipped onto a chair watching him.* I oftened wondered what that might be like for one of us stuck in the oposite sex.
William Artegio (Jul 19, 2011 2:36:38 AM)
strange. Very very strange. Even when you get used to it, the switch back is disconcerting. *He brought the glasses and corkscrew over to her, sitting in the opposite chair.*
Selma Nelson (Jul 19, 2011 2:38:27 AM)
*She took the glass and smiled at him*I assume it was strange getting use to, having femine emotions and umm body issues.
William Artegio (Jul 19, 2011 2:41:18 AM)
after so long in the Pit, having any emotions or body issues was strange. Getting used to being Janette was hard, learning that I had been betrayed in my absence was harder, other things were harder still, but we learn, adapt, change. *He rolled a titanium band on his left ring finger around with his thumb as he spoke, then looking at her.* Enough of that, how are you holding up?
Selma Nelson (Jul 19, 2011 2:45:23 AM)
I miss him.. If that is what you mean.. *she said as a friend confiding in another. She reached for the glass of wine, and sort of smiled at it, remembering her first time in her host form truly tasting wine and having a bit to much only for him adam to find her dancing like a fool in the living room. She lifted the glass to her lips and took a small sip of it letting the taste and scent add to the memories of the past, the sences had a way of doing that.*
William Artegio (Jul 19, 2011 2:46:38 AM)
He's not dead you know. *He sat back with the wine and sipped it. He let his eyes stay on her over the rim of the glass.*
Selma Nelson (Jul 19, 2011 2:46:55 AM)
He's in the pitt
William Artegio (Jul 19, 2011 2:48:15 AM)
I figured as much. *He sipped his wine and closed his eyes with a faint smile, his finger rolling the ring around on his finger.* Perhaps it will do him some good. I've recently learned that maybe, just maybe, he and I were wrong about certain things.
Selma Nelson (Jul 19, 2011 2:50:19 AM)
*Her hand slowly placed the glass back on the table, it was as if she could feel him suffering all the way into the depths of the pitt. Her long lashes swept up when she looked away from the surface of the wine to look back at William the bright blue of them allmost white like the refleciton of a cloud in the sky.* I know he only trusted one person beside myself in this city and that person was you. I had begged him to speak to the tyrant but he told me that I did not know what I was speaking of.
William Artegio (Jul 19, 2011 2:52:24 AM)
He was stubborn, brash, and full of himself. He thought he could stand alone against the tide. He would have done well to heed your advice, now we must wait till he can rise again. *He looked across the table to her and let a small smile cross his lips.* You loved him didn't you?
Selma Nelson (Jul 19, 2011 2:53:54 AM)
*She looked at William*Of cource I do..
William Artegio (Jul 19, 2011 2:55:12 AM)
I don't mean in that general we all love our brother and sister elohim kind of way. I mean you learned how to truely love someone from your host didnt' you? *He set his glass aside and steepled his fingers as they spoke. He sat calmly as his chocolate eyes stayed on her own reflective orbs.*
Selma Nelson (Jul 19, 2011 2:59:22 AM)
I don't think I could ever stop loving him to be honest. Even if he was not in the abyss if he was some how obsorbed I would not have loved him less. Did he make mistakes? I do not dispute it, but we have all made mistakes, it only takes looking around at where we are and what we have become to understand it. Did we make those mistakes with the best of intensions perhaps we did, or was it because we where stubborn brash full of ourselves? I can admitt I was full of myself, I fed life once upon a time into all living creatures, that sort of thing does go to your head. It is like being the mother of the most precious creations of all, be they brother and sisters or lions and tigers. *She looked at william*I did truly learn to love, but I think we always knew how to love, just forgot what it felt like durring our tortued eternity in the abyss.
Selma Nelson (Jul 19, 2011 3:03:33 AM)
*Even the those with little empathy could hear the emotion behind the words the feeling that seemed to leak into them and give them meaning and purpose. *
William Artegio (Jul 19, 2011 3:05:26 AM)
Oui, Then you are one of the lucky one's Selma. I had to die twice to learn how special that is. I don't think we truely understood love in it's purest form then. Humans, they understood it, they have made an exsistance at chasing that perfect moment only to throw it away. But they understand it so much better then we did, and now you understand it. It is a gift from on high Selma, don't ever doubt that cher. I once hated everything he stood for with ever fiber of my being, now I can do nothing but thank him for showing me the truth. *He looked her steadily in the eyes* You know there is hope for him Oui? Hope to draw him back from the Pit and help him back to this world?
Selma Nelson (Jul 19, 2011 3:09:26 AM)
*She Looked at william* There are rituals I am told, my only worry is if I bring him back here.. *She motioned a arm towards her door* The wolves will seek to devour what they did not get the chance to devour the first time. I do not want him to suffer any longer, but if I bring him back then that will be the time I will have to leave with him, as he is no longer welcomed in this procreate.
Selma Nelson (Jul 19, 2011 3:11:18 AM)
Not that I have not gone to the hospital to look for a replacement body, he told me how that is a place to go to find replacements
William Artegio (Jul 19, 2011 3:11:53 AM)
He is not welcome until he appologizes. I also have it on good authority that his killer will be far to busy to ever try again. *He chuckled mischeviously as he smoke.* If he comes back, his host would need to be carefully prepared. Someone who understand the lessons that his previous host didn't teach him. No, the best place is to find a willing host like William here.
Selma Nelson (Jul 19, 2011 3:12:59 AM)
*She listened to william* Willing host?
William Artegio (Jul 19, 2011 3:14:05 AM)
Oui, William was cultivated as a thrall. I trained him, taught him, gave him a purpose that was taken away from him. He wanted to die, I made him live for a purpose. In the end we both got what we wanted, and he has moved on to a better place.
Selma Nelson (Jul 19, 2011 3:16:03 AM)
*she looked at William* So you trained him to kill himself at the most opertune moment for you to switch bodies?

William Artegio (Jul 19, 2011 3:21:52 AM)
A willing host doesn't have to die. They just simply let go and let you slide in. Their sacrifice sends them on to the second world, what humans call heaven. *He sheds a single tear thinking about it.* William made a sacrifice for me out of love and it has marked me changed.
Selma Nelson (Jul 19, 2011 3:26:53 AM)
*She looked at him as the tear slipped down his cheek and she reached over and took it from his cheek with the side of her finger..* That truly is love, it is both a blessing yet it can also bring you pain.. You think if I found such a willing human that Adam would come back with more of a understanding nature, that he would appologise?
Selma Nelson (Jul 19, 2011 3:29:20 AM)
(problem is even if I tried to do this ic, the player already has another pc you can not have 2 in the same venue.)
William Artegio (Jul 19, 2011 3:30:05 AM)
to you maybe. In time he may see the truth of things, all I know is how it changed me, and how love made this all bearable. Perhaps the Reconcilers are right, that there is still hope left for us. The pain that love can bring can either make us stronger, or tear us apart, it is up to us to decide. (yes, but it can be a long term goal in which the character might come back.)
Selma Nelson (Jul 19, 2011 3:35:14 AM)
*She looked at william*It is true I feel that way as well. We might not be able to set things back the way they where, we may never be able to turn back the hands of time. But together we can make the best of this. I feel in alot of ways that we where rewarded to see and experience that which we could not fully grasp before. We where some what disconnected from it, the bits of faith that mirrored his own where given to our hosts, and with it they felt as strongly as he. Perhaps more so as they had less of a way to control it. But if this was how his own creation began then perhaps one of our hosts and one of our brothers will be the next him. Even if that seems like crazy talk, what is the use of all these blessings
Selma Nelson (Jul 19, 2011 3:36:17 AM)
if we never embrace them and enjoy them, we have suffered for far to long. A bit of enjoyment some love and tenderness should not be shunned so, it only strengthens us in the end.
William Artegio (Jul 19, 2011 3:39:53 AM)
*He chuckled and picked up his wine, sipping it and savoring it slowly.* did you know that but a scant three weeks ago I would have laughed in your face and called you a fool. A waste of creation I would have called you cher. Now... I am not so sure. Be assured that such views are not common, nor are they generally welcome by most. But we must play the game cher if we are to rebuild. maybe the world will have to be burned to cinders to rebuild it properly, maybe not. But that doesn't mean there aren't those worth saving, maybe all of them... *He stared into the glass of red liquid in thought.* I just don't know anymore.
Selma Nelson (Jul 19, 2011 3:43:29 AM)
*She spoke to him* I was lucky to find selma as my host. This woman was incredible, she never had any hope of ever getting into heaven yet she was very religious. She had the most horrific evil woman whom raised her since her birth, her own grandmother. She was tortured in the ways humans torture each other. As a child she suffered beatings due to her mother having her out of wedlock. Her grandmother would remind her she was born of sin, and make sure every day from child hood on was one she would regret.
William Artegio (Jul 19, 2011 3:45:05 AM)
*He chuckled and smiled over his glass.* Your not making a very good case for humans, but I understand what your saying.
Selma Nelson (Jul 19, 2011 3:45:22 AM)
The scars on my hosts back a testimant to the switch digging deep enough to tear away muscle and when her grandmother died she seen it as a blessing from god, that he released her from the torment. She still had no faulcities of ever making her way into heaven but she knew what it felt like to just wish it would all end abruptly to stop the pain and humiliation of it all. So she dedicated her entire life to being there for others who feel like the best escape is death itself to inspire them to live.
Selma Nelson (Jul 19, 2011 3:50:35 AM)
She raised her 13 year old sister on her own, and went out of her way to make sure she had everything that selma never had. I knew that feeling, I could understand my host on so many levels. I knew what it was like to be shunned to live what seemed like a eternity in torment to know the doors of heaven where closed. To understand I "sinned" and to accept that this was my fate to know that "heaven" was closed to me. Yeah not all humans are worth saving, like selmas grandmother. But like all humans are not Selmas grandmother not all our breathren are earth bounds.
Selma Nelson (Jul 19, 2011 3:51:13 AM)
Some need guidence but like a earthbound some are beyond being saved.
William Artegio (Jul 19, 2011 3:53:34 AM)
Heaven isn't closed, just barred. I once knew the way back, but it was robbed from me in the Pit. I had just finished the ritual to open the way back, planning to use it to assault his host from where they would never expect it. Then the end of the war came and we were imprisoned. Now, now I just try to be better then I was. I still think your a fool Selma, but maybe, just maybe, I'm a fool right along side you cher.
Selma Nelson (Jul 19, 2011 3:55:23 AM)
*She smiled at him..*Well as long as I have someone to look foolish with. We make a dinamic duo. I do seem to suprise people on occasion, I like that.
William Artegio (Jul 19, 2011 3:56:37 AM)
You'ld be surprised whoelse is a fool. but I'll leave that for her to tell you. So, enough moaping about, how is your sister? I haven't seen either of you about for a long time now.
Selma Nelson (Jul 19, 2011 3:58:21 AM)
She is doing okay. Had a run in with a perverted police officer, in which i had to pay a fine way over the regular price to keep her out of trouble. followed up by a bad date with a guy whom had octopuss arms and over powering colonge.
William Artegio (Jul 19, 2011 4:00:11 AM)
octopuss arms? *He raised an eyebrow.* What sort of guys are you letting your host's sister get involved with? *Pauses to think about it.* Oui, I'm very sure we didn't make men with octopuss arms.
Selma Nelson (Jul 19, 2011 4:02:25 AM)
*she smiled at him* They went on a date and the man could not keep his hands off her it was like he had octopuss arms every time she got away his arms would reach out again. It was some guy she met at school. She called it octopuss arms, but my host would have called him a mix between russian and roman.
William Artegio (Jul 19, 2011 4:04:31 AM)
Oui. I find that too many of the male species of humans have those grabby hands. I've had to remove more then a few. Then again the female of the species sometiems isn't much better with how easy they spread their legs like a flower petal for the males. Anything that needs dealing with?
Selma Nelson (Jul 19, 2011 4:08:50 AM)
My sister has a promise ring, she has yet to spread her legs for any man. I am sure it will eventualy happen but she is still a teenager and one with morales it is how selma raised her. To be independant and to follow her heart, yet to be true to it. I am most upset about the police officer to be honest. I feel the ticket for her art work was unwarrened she covered up gang symbols with a beautiful mural of a angel. Then he took her out for pancakes after writing her a ticket and she got stuck paying for the meal, in which he began to quesiton her about her sexual experiences.
Selma Nelson (Jul 19, 2011 4:09:24 AM)
I got the fine reduced but not by much, and the entire thing just rolled into even worse crap. It would have never happened if Adam was here.
William Artegio (Jul 19, 2011 4:11:47 AM)
Well he is not. However, might I suggest that you avail yourself of the lawyers that the Court has. Their cover is a legal firm after all cher. And I would be careful with Elin, the city isn't getting any safer out there. How much have you told her? About us I mean.
Selma Nelson (Jul 19, 2011 4:12:39 AM)
horney college guy bothers me much less then a police officer out there trying to take advantage of younge teenage girls.
Selma Nelson (Jul 19, 2011 4:14:02 AM)
*She looked at william*She knows everything about our past, she does not really understand the court itself. She knows not all are like me, and she has seen some of the dangers herself first hand.
Selma Nelson (Jul 19, 2011 4:15:36 AM)
Ive tried to explain things to her the best I can and she prays to be frequently like some might pray to god.
William Artegio (Jul 19, 2011 4:15:52 AM)
Oui, but welcome to this world they destroyed. And they blame it on us. Have you thought of a chastatie belt? *he steepled his fingers as the subject chaged.* She needs to know more, be better prepared for what is out there, what our kind can do. If she ran across but one thrall of a Lammasu, she would be done for.
Selma Nelson (Jul 19, 2011 4:17:38 AM)
Some have seen this and find it strange but it offers her strength and peace and I will not stop her from doing it. *nods her head*I will teach her what I can, did not want to over load her with to much. But you are right and I shall see to it she learns more..
Selma Nelson (Jul 19, 2011 4:19:26 AM)
