(Nope. No idea who it is. :3)

(kk)... ::memorizing that face too... wondering if she can draw it... or project it later for Jareth to see, she backed out of that path... but.... continued to move along that seal, gently poking and prodding, wanting to see if she could slip in::
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 9, 2010 12:12:09 AM)
She's already in. but it's similar as before.. there's nothing that made a whole hell of a lot of sense in there. Memories tangled and fused together. That 'entity' was elusive, but seemed to exist in hints and glimpses here and there. At first she wasn't sure whether it was a memory, or something actually there, but after a moment of focusing she was able to rule out something actually being there. At least she was pretty sure of it. Persuing one of the paths led back out of the seal to a day on the beach.. or an evening, one would say. Tarra was there, so was Joshua, they were trying to help him figuring it out.. and Tarra even made a diagram, and tried something.. guess what came out? A flash of light that scared jareth so much he jumped outta the circle, and an image of those green eyes and red hair.. Not that any of them knew what it was. ....Jareth however said "It's her." Not that he knew who.. but she'd been mentioned in the reading he'd been given.. about being like Bobby Lee, and cutting jewels for
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 9, 2010 12:14:32 AM)
princesses in India and Bangkok, going from the Old England to the new, and that "She took something from you." and "You'll have a dream tonight, you'll see Her.. draw her face and seek her out." And I do not remember the rest of the scene, but i do remember Jareth's aversion to doing so.. he didn't feel remotely SAFE where he was. Too many techs in Seattle, too much Paranoia, and he had no means of his own. He wanted control of his situation before he went traipsing off after some.. entity.

::Ais starts to filter through, trying to find another vision of the woman.. curiously beginning to scan other memories... not wanting to stay in here too much longer...before she began to look at the little network of closely tied, closely sealed memories, as a whole, looking to see what might have sealed them up::
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 9, 2010 12:31:05 AM)
That's the problem.. it's all but impossible to tell, and the only real hint that recurrs is the Wall o'desperation and determination to survive that resides just under the seal. However, one of the memories she stumbles across is on the beach.. the memory tangled with other similar ones but has recent elements, kind of jumping back and forth in time, trying to be independant, but not quite managing to be solid and sensible. The exact location also seems to shift. sometimes the ocean is on the left, then the right, then.. yeah. He's gathering shells and there's this voice that he pauses, looks up and around. Some half-chinese teen is talking to him, asking "Teacher, why are we doing this.. we've been out here for hours now and i'm cold and really sick of it.. " Jareth is confused, and it is but it isn't him that answers. "It's a concen----" It spins, shifts again, then continues. "---to be in sync with your surroundings or--" The scene kind of fades a bit and Jareth as he is now is left.. looking really real
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 9, 2010 12:31:16 AM)
really really really fucking confused what just happened.
Aislinn Connelly (Oct 9, 2010 12:33:04 AM)
(as in, now-Jareth, or dream-Jareth?)
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 9, 2010 12:33:47 AM)
(Beach-Jareth as opposed to the tangled memory that didn't seem to belong to him, but obviously did.)
Aislinn Connelly (Oct 9, 2010 12:34:17 AM)
(the beach... was it more reminiscent of Seattle... or New Orleans?)
Aislinn Connelly (Oct 9, 2010 12:34:26 AM)
(and you said an hour.. ::eyes the clock, grins::)
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 9, 2010 12:34:51 AM)

(LOL, oops, my bad)
Aislinn Connelly (Oct 9, 2010 12:35:13 AM)
(I blame the drugs)
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 9, 2010 12:35:45 AM)
((Beach-Jareth (recent-Jareth) is New Orleans.. but the tangled-memory is a rocky coastline with pine and birch in the background)
Aislinn Connelly (Oct 9, 2010 12:37:35 AM)
(kk, that sounds.. Seattle-ish... ::eyes tpo Cas for confirmation::)
Cas Brimley (Oct 9, 2010 12:37:54 AM)
((Yup!))

((Where..in the vision or in Seattle?))
Aislinn Connelly (Oct 9, 2010 12:38:53 AM)
(sankoo... you know... we didn't do the beach...)
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 9, 2010 12:38:55 AM)
(The vision. You look out on the water and it's just water. )
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 9, 2010 12:39:32 AM)
(heh)
Cas Brimley (Oct 9, 2010 12:41:03 AM)
((There are places around Seattle's shoreline which have islands, and some that don't. Just depends where ya are at the time))
Aislinn Connelly (Oct 9, 2010 12:42:03 AM)
::Ais continues with what she's doing, and she speaks, softly, to the real world:: Jareth.... what happens when you think about her..... red hair... green eyes... is she your teacher?
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 9, 2010 12:43:19 AM)
"mm?" He stops with the mantra a moment, thinking on that.. "No.. I.. don't think so.. I don't get that impression." His words a little slow, but calm.
Cas Brimley (Oct 9, 2010 12:43:54 AM)
*lowers her own volume to allow the conversation, but maintains the rhythm to keep Jareth calm*
Aislinn Connelly (Oct 9, 2010 12:44:25 AM)
Think on her..... think on her a moment... and let go... just... feel. Feel what you do about her....
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 9, 2010 12:48:07 AM)
"mmm... " It took him a moment.. those directions were a little vague, but not impossible for a cultist.. Green eyes.. red hair.. that.. woman? She was.. what was she? Was she the one that took his memories? It made him nervous, mostly.. hints of anger IF she was.. but only if.
Aislinn Connelly (Oct 9, 2010 12:53:01 AM)
Attraction? Desire? Rage? Curiosity? What does her face make you feel? ::murmuring as she starts down another path, trying to trace along the crack she'd found, wanting to slip inside, versus just skimming the surface::
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 9, 2010 12:56:34 AM)
"Mmph.. I don't... " He was struggling with that one. 'She' didn't make him feel a whole hell of alot except confused, and nervous, and the more he focused on here the more he got this creeping sort of fear sneaking up on him. For Aislinn.. it seemed elusive. but she did manage to catch a thread on it's way back into hiding. Oh look, that crack's big enough to sneak in. ....but it was also where that fright was coming from.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 9, 2010 12:57:02 AM)
(you suuure you wanna go in there :D)
Aislinn Connelly (Oct 9, 2010 12:57:48 AM)
Cas.... wake me if need be... ::murmuring, distractedly, as Ais steeled herself, murmuring a soft prayer in Gaelic, before she went quiet on the outside.... and she slipped in, fortifying her own mind::
Aislinn Connelly (Oct 9, 2010 12:58:37 AM)
(no.... no, she's not. But.... she's gonna have to eventually, better to do it when she has backup)
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 9, 2010 12:58:48 AM)
(heh, good plan.)
Aislinn Connelly (Oct 9, 2010 12:59:02 AM)
(yay cabal mate!)
Cas Brimley (Oct 9, 2010 12:59:29 AM)
*reaches over to put her hand on Aslinn's arm to keep close tabs on her as well..so much as a flinch and Cas will be aware of it*
Cas Brimley (Oct 9, 2010 1:09:27 AM)

Aislinn Connelly (Oct 9, 2010 1:11:25 AM)
(pokes the dot)
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 9, 2010 1:12:40 AM)
It didn't seem like a memory, not really, darkness.. and she heard a drumbeat, probably small handdrums, the scent of incense, of seasalt, pine. A misty sense of something there WITH you, both separate and In you... Starts to feel like you're spinning, sound distorts, time skips, there's still no visual but a sudden flare of anger, violence, trying to push it out, and feeling confident enough to actually do it.. but.. then SLAM, that presence, Her presence. A mental scream as the drums stopped and the whole thing shatters with a ripping sensation and a feminine scream of anger. Confidence turns to fright, anger, desperation and an effort of will. NO! ......and fading. Did he get it off..? Gone. --- Physically Jareth went rigid with a muffled scream and curled up into a ball heedless of the other two. Passing out about the same time as the 'memory' ended. (PM Incoming Ais.)
Cas Brimley (Oct 9, 2010 1:21:44 AM)
*looks with concern to Aislinn as she moves her hand from his hand to Jareth's throat, checking that he's just unconscious and stable, glancing between the two with mild panic*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 9, 2010 1:22:35 AM)
Yeah he was just out.. though his heartrate was definately up from fright.
Aislinn Connelly (Oct 9, 2010 1:30:18 AM)
::Aislinn sucked in a harsh breath.... not even realizing she was holding it, a look of horror on her face, reflected there, a soft whimper, as it was hard to separate her own reality, from his, for a split second, it was her.... and she thrust herself from Jareth, yanking herself from him so violently she fell on the floor off the bed, her eyes wide, haunted, looking absolutely petrified, as she scrambles back.... eyes unfocused::
Cas Brimley (Oct 9, 2010 1:31:58 AM)
*holding Aislinn's arm, she does her best to catch her friend, and god bless it but the girl was pretty damn fast! Of course..she'd just end up beneath Ais rather than actually being strong enough to lift the Verbena* Aislinn! Hey it's okay.. you're at the house with me and Jareth..It's okay..
Aislinn Connelly (Oct 9, 2010 1:34:01 AM)
::it was another moment, before she focused on the familiar voice, shaking her head a bit, her eyes refocusing and looking to Cas, hugging her in an instant::
Cas Brimley (Oct 9, 2010 1:35:05 AM)
*hugs back, relieved to have Ais back in the present* Okay, you scared me there.. Jareth's out cold, but he was terrified when he blacked out. What happened?
Aislinn Connelly (Oct 9, 2010 1:38:11 AM)
His magic.... most of his magic... it was... it was ripped.... -ripped- out of him.. almost all of it. He had only shards left.... I think... he was doing something... something big... trying to make something work. Something... I don't know what. The woman was there though... he wanted ... desperately ... to get that magic off. Desperate. I... I don't know if he did. ::Ais looks to Jareth passed out:: Damn..
Cas Brimley (Oct 9, 2010 1:40:11 AM)
What woman? I couldn't see what you saw other than the well..physical echo of what the damage and healing left behind at the beginning. The scar and the weak threads of energy..
Aislinn Connelly (Oct 9, 2010 1:41:26 AM)
Here.... um.... open your mind. Don't.... don't fight me. Don't fight it...
Aislinn Connelly (Oct 9, 2010 1:42:27 AM)
(4 sux at diff 7)
Cas Brimley (Oct 9, 2010 1:43:40 AM)
Ah.. I don't know that I could if I wanted to..but sure. Sifu Chang used to do that sort of thing when he needed to see what I was doing. Here. ((And 5 sux to open up and let her in via meditation)) *slipping easily into a slightly different focus, no blackness here..light flooding in from a thousand imagined windows and doors around her center*
Aislinn Connelly (Oct 9, 2010 1:44:56 AM)
::and it was instantaneous.... Ais slipping in, as quickly as she was welcomed in... and slowly, began to piece it all out for Cas, showing her what she saw.... and showing her the woman.... the other memories, to help piece them all together::
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 9, 2010 1:45:49 AM)
Yup. Still out cold. Are we surprised? No. (:3 *watches happily*)
Cas Brimley (Oct 9, 2010 1:46:48 AM)
*and Cas' mind is receptive to the information, letting Aislinn paint on the blank canvas she's provided her friend, in the center of her thoughts a single burning flower bud that never seems to be consumed, the images and memories shifting about as Cas attempts to reorder the chaos Jareth's mind provided*
Aislinn Connelly (Oct 9, 2010 1:51:51 AM)
::and how Ais painted, letting it flow, all of it, piecing it all together.. in jumbles, sorting it out. in order... trying for chronological.... almost tossing it at Cas, wanting it to be clear.... desperate for the puzzle to make sense::
Cas Brimley (Oct 9, 2010 1:51:56 AM)
*she threads them along as if memory and image were a bead on a string.. seperating the mixed thoughts of the beach into two parts..one where Jareth's student is present..another where he is not, farther along. In between she places the picture of the red-headed woman, his desperate struggle, a blank bead with a crack down it's side to represent whatever damage and healing had followed, his confusion upon waking, and meeting Craig and the others... in that order*
Cas Brimley (Oct 9, 2010 1:52:57 AM)
*The last bead.. the one holding the jumble of unlike thoughts from his beachfront lesson..where the shore was on the wrong side..it hovers questionably at the end of the rest*
Cas Brimley (Oct 9, 2010 1:53:30 AM)
*Cas..is strangely not visible in her own mind.. only the burning bloom nearby to convince Aislinn she's not alone*
Aislinn Connelly (Oct 9, 2010 1:54:42 AM)
::she pushes the bead, gently, pushes the bead towards the woman... for now::
Cas Brimley (Oct 9, 2010 1:57:16 AM)
*and the Akashic's voice from terra firma, as she watches Ais' imagined reflection in her head* I don't know.. was he scared during the mismatched beach scenes? I don't recall you saying that.
Aislinn Connelly (Oct 9, 2010 1:57:56 AM)
No.... it either goes to her... or... it waits... for a match.
Cas Brimley (Oct 9, 2010 1:58:57 AM)
Cuz..with the Mandarin, and the obvious practice with old school Buddhist meditation.. I think he was on the other side of the pacific here.. *the bead holding the scene with the student lights up* And in the Americas after waking..in this.. *and as it dims, the confused hovering bead brightens*
Cas Brimley (Oct 9, 2010 1:59:54 AM)
*a red white and blue bead appearing and bounces along the scenes between the red-head and the scar* Somewhere in here.. I think he crossed the sea, willingly or un.,
Aislinn Connelly (Oct 9, 2010 2:00:35 AM)
::a mental nod, and she tilts her head:: Interesting.. alright...we'll fit it there for now.
Cas Brimley (Oct 9, 2010 2:01:09 AM)
*the uncertain bead drifts back into line at the end, and the american bead vanishes once she no longer needs to illustrate the point*
Cas Brimley (Oct 9, 2010 2:02:34 AM)
SO umm.. *sheepishly* You think any of this will actually help him?
Aislinn Connelly (Oct 9, 2010 2:03:27 AM)
Um.... we are going to find out....
Aislinn Connelly (Oct 9, 2010 2:03:41 AM)
::she shakes her head:: I still need to -fix- it... and I need his permission to do that.
Aislinn Connelly (Oct 9, 2010 2:03:48 AM)
(and I need bed... now)

(I must sleep too. <3)
Cas Brimley (Oct 9, 2010 2:04:00 AM)
Not till he wakes up.. *laughter having the strange effect of causing the lights to shift wildly in her head*
Aislinn Connelly (Oct 9, 2010 2:04:16 AM)
It's like a light show.
Cas Brimley (Oct 9, 2010 2:04:34 AM)
((Lol Oh sure.. I finally get to stay up.. lol Sleep you two!)) *she laughs harder and puts in a disco ball to amuse her friend*
