Ashishishe Heyoka (Oct 9, 2010 8:10:47 PM)
When they arrived, they would find Heyoka's camp in a small clearing deep in the woods. It was accessible by an old access road that had seen little use in recent years. The camp had a semi-permanent atmosphere, as if the man who lived there seemed intent on doing so for a long time to come. Some clothes hung across a line drawn between trees, drying in the breeze. A tent was set to one side, near a large fire pit. On one edge of the clearing, a large stack of chopped firewood could be seen, likely a weeks worth of kindling. Heyoka himself was currently moving around the edge of the clearing, tying twine from tree to tree in a large circular perimeter.

Ryan Cooper (Oct 9, 2010 8:12:18 PM)
The old truck rumbled up to the camp. It was an amazign thing, conciderign thr thing looked past it's prime. But was more amazing was that Basil knew where he was going. He stopped the truck, turning it off. He opened the door, and slid out, wearign th smae from before. He grabbed soemthings out of the cab before he closed the door, slinging the guitar on his back. "I grabbed the...bongos. That's what you wanted right?"

Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 9, 2010 8:13:37 PM)
Jareth honestly didn't care how he got there, as long as he got there safely, and for a moment he had to give Ash a confused look when he got out of the truck and noticed what he was doing.. but then Lightbulb.. and he didn't ask. His spirit crow was high overhead, doing a slow circle to see if there was anything about worth mentioning.

Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 9, 2010 8:15:39 PM)
(there cellphone reception out here?)

Ryan Cooper (Oct 9, 2010 8:16:05 PM)
[It is America, so probably at least a little]

Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 9, 2010 8:16:13 PM)

Ryan Cooper (Oct 9, 2010 8:16:19 PM)
[Might be Roaming though lol]

Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 9, 2010 8:16:26 PM)
(oh probably.)

Ashishishe Heyoka (Oct 9, 2010 8:16:41 PM)
Spiritual activity around the area was high, even for such a pristine and natural environment. Such was often the case in an area where a Dreamspeaker made his home. Ash made habit of paying homage to all spirits, homage that rarely escaped their attention. Night Feather, the abnormally large crow spirit was actually materialized for the moment, perched on a large branch on a near by tree. Obviously unnatural by the way it's feathers seemed made of coalesced shadow. Glancing over his shoulder, Heyoka smiled and offered a short wave at their approach, then continued with his task.

Ashishishe Heyoka (Oct 9, 2010 8:17:35 PM)
(And yea, prolly at least a bar. Maybe more if on Verizon )

Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 9, 2010 8:17:50 PM)
His phone rings, cuts off.. rings again after a moment. Jareth jumps.. "Um... " Couple steps to the side, he checks who it is.. frowns.. and tries to answer. "'llo? What's up?" (can you hear me now?!)

Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 9, 2010 8:20:53 PM)
"Out in the woods.. Not really within bothering range, 'Sarah'.." A frown.. and an annoyed look for a moment. He was still mad at her. "And I am -still- kidnapping your cat.. don't forget."

Ryan Cooper (Oct 9, 2010 8:21:00 PM)
Basil smiles, as he sees Night Feather, and heads into the camp. He takes a seat on the ground, leaning on a rock near the fire pit with his guitar on his lap. The bongos sat next to him, while he pulled out a joint from his shirt pocket. He slide a lighter out of his pants, lighting the joint. Basil took a big hit, then mushroomed the smoke.

Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 9, 2010 8:24:50 PM)
The annoyed look intensifies.. "No.. I'm still mad at you. Bother your boyfriend." And he hung up with a faint scowl, turning OFF the phone as he stepped into the camp proper and went over to sit near Ryan.. though.. he wrinkled his nose a bit.

Ashishishe Heyoka (Oct 9, 2010 8:26:12 PM)
He finally finished the twine peremeter around the camp, dusting off his hands as if to honor a job well done. He walked over to Ryan, stopping briefly to lean down and snag the joint from his fingers and take a long draw himself, before offering it back. "I'm going to honor the spirits tonight, and give them welcome to my home."

Ryan Cooper (Oct 9, 2010 8:27:06 PM)
Ryan slid his avaitors down a bit, eyes loking at Jareth's expression. He smiled, as he took the joint back from Ash. He took a quick hit, before offering it to Jareth.

Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 9, 2010 8:27:35 PM)
He bit his lip a moment, worrying at it.. and then dug in one of his pockets. Glancing at Ryan, and shaking his head.. "No thanks.. that stuff puts me right to sleep."

Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 9, 2010 8:28:41 PM)
(is the fire going already?)

Ashishishe Heyoka (Oct 9, 2010 8:28:57 PM)
( yep, though it's burning low and newly started. Just enough wood to get it going. )

Ryan Cooper (Oct 9, 2010 8:31:06 PM)
"I got some other stuff too," he paused, takign a hit, "if you have anything in special you like..."

Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 9, 2010 8:33:17 PM)
(good.. x_x) "I don't smoke unless I've a reason to.. " A pause.. then he ventured. "Should I have a reason.. I will join in.. but.. in the meantime.. I was wondering if we should bother with 'proper' introductions?" A faint smile.

Ashishishe Heyoka (Oct 9, 2010 8:34:21 PM)
Two thin streams of smoke escaped his nostrils as he turned and made his way to the tent. Leaning down, he crawled halfway inside and drug out a stack of hand woven blankets and simple animal-skin leather tarps. He glanced over his shoulder towards Jareth and chuckled softly, an apologetic smile on his lips. "I've been rude. I am Crazy Crow, shaman, healer, and storyteller of the baruti faction dreamspeakers.."

Ryan Cooper (Oct 9, 2010 8:35:51 PM)
Basil nodded, a smile across his face, "Basil Vicious, born again rock god. Well, yeah..."

Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 9, 2010 8:38:45 PM)
"Not rude.. prudent." An answering sort of smile. He'd glance at Ryan, then Ash... but give an expansive sort of gesture.. "I'm Jareth, quasi-Goblin King, wanderer, and and spirit horse of the Cult of Ecstasy. ...More than that I will tell you if I ever figure it out."

Ashishishe Heyoka (Oct 9, 2010 8:41:58 PM)
He arched a brow slightly at Jareth, a curious if still completely friendly expression. "If you figure it out?"

Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 9, 2010 8:42:22 PM)
"Simply put.. I dunno. Jareth is a nickname."

Ryan Cooper (Oct 9, 2010 8:43:27 PM)
"Quasi-Goblin King..." he paused, sliding his glasses back over his eyes, "man, that sounds like a great song name...ooo, or band. Yeah, little metal, some blues...jazz underlay..."

Jareth just... has to chuckle at Ryan. "Just don't forget the Bowie-esque weirdness."

snowcrane (Oct 9, 2010 8:44:54 PM)
(hey guys)

Ashishishe Heyoka (Oct 9, 2010 8:45:37 PM)
He smiled, a soft sad smile, as if trying to sympathize with the man. He drug the stack of blankets and tarps the rest of the way out of the tent then began taking them to the strings he had tied around the paremeter of the camp, draping the cloth over to make a circular wall. "If there's anything I can do to help, Jareth, please let me know."

Ryan Cooper (Oct 9, 2010 8:45:40 PM)
"Nah...no Bowie," his mind at word toward the idea, "more like Zappa man."

Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 9, 2010 8:46:56 PM)
"Bah.. you're missing the whole point of the goblin king thing.. " He rolled his shoulders, looked over at Ash.. and went to get up. "Thanks man.. but i've got it handled for the most part. ....you need a hand with that?"

Ashishishe Heyoka (Oct 9, 2010 8:48:25 PM)
That friendly smile seemed stuck like concrete to his features and he nodded thankfully towards the pile of hand woven blankets and animal skin tarps. "Sure. Just hang them over the twine like this. They're to catch the fire light and the heat once we feed more wood to the pit."

Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 9, 2010 8:49:21 PM)
"Alright.. " He figured it would go faster if Ash had an extra hand doing it. He watched how he was doing it a moment, and then set to work helping out.

Ryan Cooper (Oct 9, 2010 8:49:34 PM)
Basil leaned back a little more. He let the others work, and began to strum on his guitar.

Ashishishe Heyoka (Oct 9, 2010 8:52:40 PM)
There was no particular rhyme nor reason to how the cloth was being draped over the circle of twine tied to the trees. Though they were positioned as close to one another as possible, to let as little of the firelight to escape as he could manage. Once he saw Jareth begin the work, he gave another appreciative nod, then moved to a tree to pick up a straw broom that leaned against it. He used the broom to begin sweeping the fallen leaves from the clearing, revealing the hard packed dirt around the fire pit.

Ashishishe Heyoka (Oct 9, 2010 8:57:27 PM)
( Gonna kinda draw this out for a while before starting the actuall ritual play, in hopes Sam can steal away for a while to join us for it. )

Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 9, 2010 8:58:30 PM)
He just kept working, humming softly to himself.. Sooner or later as he did Reggie would take a dip through the area and he glanced up, but soon went back to doing what he was doing as the Crow went back to circling overhead.

Ryan Cooper (Oct 9, 2010 8:59:17 PM)
"Crossroads ... seem to come and go ... yeah..." his strumming shifting to 'Melissa' by The Allman Brothers Band. His vocals a little shaky, and words skipped, "But back home he'll always run ... to sweet Melissa..."

Ashishishe Heyoka (Oct 9, 2010 9:02:51 PM)
Once the leaves were swept away he flipped the broom over in his hands, using it's hard tip to draw lines in the dirt. Swirls adjoined them in the old sigils of Odu, the first tongue of the spirits, venerating them with words of welcome and homage. He smiled pleasantly to himself as he worked and it was obvious that he found great joy in marking those words. He truly loved the spirits, those both of light and shadow, and it showed in his work. "When we venerate the spirits, Jareth, feel free to offer homage to the one who calls you friend. They gain sustenance from such things and deserve it for the attentions they offer..."

Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 9, 2010 9:04:46 PM)
"Mmmhmm.. I know.. " Glancing over.. "Once every full moon.. I make sure I don't neglect him... he's a good friend."

Ashishishe Heyoka (Oct 9, 2010 9:09:20 PM)
( afk a sec )

Ryan Cooper (Oct 9, 2010 9:11:22 PM)
Basil stopped the strumming abrubtly. He looked over his shoulder, a smile and a shake of his head. He looked back to the fire, and started to play 'The End' by the Doors, as if by request. His voice was a little lower, more to the acctual melody of the song, "This is the end. Beautiful friend, this is the end... My only friend, the end..."

Sam Angelico (Oct 9, 2010 9:15:55 PM)
*Her car rolled up outside of camp, and she shut it down, pushing the door open she slid out and grabbed her bag from the back seat. Dressed in a tight black boot cut slacks with a studded belt her rough boots, a white button down roleld up to show a mirriad of leather and black bangle braclets, and a black vest. Her hair piled up in to two loose buns. Shrugging her bag up her shoulder she circled the car and started downt he path. Following the sound of Basil's playing, then paused at the sine of all the string... * uh... hello?

Ashishishe Heyoka (Oct 9, 2010 9:16:34 PM)
With the lines and sigils drawn into the earth, Heyoka carried the broom away and leaned it against a tree. He then made his way back across the little clearing to his tent, stripping off his shirt and tossing it inside in the process. He then kicked off his boots and began unfastening his belt. A smile crossed his lips when he heard Basil play, the song bringing brief flashes of memories not quite his own through his mind, of a time in another life when he and his little brother had enjoyed a similiar relationship as they did now. He looked over to Jareth, "My new friend. Would you mind building up the fire? I want it to burn brightly so that all those of the other world might see it and know it is in their honor." At the sound of Sam's voice, he brightened considerably. "I'm glad you are here. I hoped you would not miss this."

Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 9, 2010 9:17:56 PM)
Jareth was probably about then hanging the last of the tarps and skins along the twine to keep the light and heat in.

Sam Angelico (Oct 9, 2010 9:20:11 PM)
*Stepping further in to camp she glanced around, obviously a little out of her element amongst the camp the woods, the trees... nature? but she seemed to flow with it well enough. Giving Jareth a little nod as she glanced around at preperations that where eather under way or going up. * Looks like I didnt miss the party. What are you up to?

Ryan Cooper (Oct 9, 2010 9:23:00 PM)
Basil smiled, nodding to Sam as she walked in. His song continued, "Lost in a Roman...wilderness of pain. And all the children are insane, all the children are insane... Waiting for the summer rain, yeah..."

Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 9, 2010 9:23:45 PM)
"Certainly." He gave Ash what was less of a mocking bow than usual and went to head for the wood.. because he'd seen it earlier.. bringing it over and arranging it carefully around what was already burning. Humming softly to himself, and murmering something in mandarin every time he put another load on. .

Ashishishe Heyoka (Oct 9, 2010 9:24:23 PM)
He stripped off his jeans then, tossing them haphazardly into the tent. For the moment he was completely bare to the world around him, except for the string of bones and abnormaly long black crow feather around his neck. "We are new to this place, and so we will pay homage to it's spirits and venerate their presence." He smiled warmly to Sam before dipping into the tent, taking out a belt and breach cloth, as well as a set of fringed animal skin leggings decorated with black feathers. He began to don them. "Coyote boy. Could you prepare the elixer of gazing? You know the one...with whatever remains of the cactus we brought with us."

Sam Angelico (Oct 9, 2010 9:25:50 PM)
*both brows went up sightly and she glanced around, almost half expecting to see something now? but she edged over towards Ryan and sank down on a near by log, setting her back pack down on the ground. beside her a cat peeked over the large chunk of wood, watching with half hearted curosity. *

Sam Angelico (Oct 9, 2010 9:26:31 PM)
( I am afk for a few, I have to make a quick run. Sam will watch quietly till I get back)

Ryan Cooper (Oct 9, 2010 9:34:22 PM)
Basil nodded, as he stopped playing. He stood up, and walekd over to Ash's bike. Reaching into the saddle bags, he pulled out a bottle of what looked liek water and a cactus button. He then rummaged through to find the clay bowl. Basil gently set the bowl on a rock, and poured the moonshine into it. He took a swig of the bottle before closign it and pulling out his butterfly knife. The knife fluttered around his hand as he opened it, and cut the cactus open over the bowl, squeezing it. He set the cactus on the rock, as he licked his hand and blade, puttign the balde away. Basil then slid across the ground back to his spot, holding the clay bowl full of the elixir.

Ashishishe Heyoka (Oct 9, 2010 9:37:18 PM)
He looped the breach cloth over the belt in front and back, holding it in place to cover his loins. The cloth itself was decorated in bright colors that contrasted with the black print of crows spreading wings regaly over a mountain top. He then pulled the leggings up his thighs, snapping each one to the sides of the belt in turn. With each movement the long leather fringe down their sides and thick ruffles of black feathers danced in the light breeze. He knelt down in front of the tent, taking a small bag into his lap. From within it he took several earthen paints, black and white in color. With those he began to mark his body and face, once again using the swirling sigils of Odu, the first tongue of spirits. He looked over to see Basil finishing the elixer and Jareth feeding the flames until they lept high into the air, as if trying to lick the heavens themselves. A euphoric smile swept across his features. Setting the bag and paints aside, Heyoka rose and gave the clearing a final sweep. They were ready. M

Ashishishe Heyoka (Oct 9, 2010 9:37:24 PM)
( doh, cut off.. )

Ashishishe Heyoka (Oct 9, 2010 9:37:59 PM)
Moving over to where Basil and Sam already sat, he knelt down in front of them, motioning to Jareth with a welcoming gesture. "Please, come sit with us and we will begin."

Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 9, 2010 9:39:43 PM)
It did not take him long to come over.. but first he lost the boots. Leaving them out on the edge of camp somewhere and walked back over. We will be honest and say he's avoiding looking at naked people directly.

*she actually stays very quiet threw the process it takes them to get wht ever it was they where doing set up, pulling both knees up to her chest. her arms wrapping around her shins. Glancing at the little bowl that Ryan was holding then back over at Ash and Jareth*

Ashishishe Heyoka (Oct 9, 2010 9:49:43 PM)
Leaning forward, Heyoka reached towards Basil, hands extended. Once the bowl was placed in his hands he rose again, stepping around the fire to the side opposite them so that they could see his actions through the dancing flames. "I ask the spirits to bless this elixer, imbue it with your essence so that we may step from the shadows and into the sun." And with that, he reached into the fire. The potent liquor in the bowl immediately caught in the flames and he drew it back up, now litterly holding fire in his hands and carrying it back to the other three. He knelt down in front of them and bowed his head, his eyes cutting upwards to look at each through the tongues of fire. "I see you", he said to Basil, then again to both Sam and Jareth. "They also see you. Drink of their blessing...so that you might see them." A howling wind entered the clearing then as if the umbral storms had joined them in the tellurian. The shadows beyond the circle of blankets and tarps deepened until it seemed the world itself beyond

Ashishishe Heyoka (Oct 9, 2010 9:49:52 PM)
their clearing had faded away. Each one of their awakened souls could feel Heyoka's will stir the world around them, reaching into them, offering to them a blessing. With a deep breath he blew out the flames in the bowl and took a deep drink of the potent elixer. He then reached forward, offering the bowl to Basil.

Ashishishe Heyoka (Oct 9, 2010 9:50:10 PM)

Ryan Cooper (Oct 9, 2010 9:51:52 PM)
Basil smiled wide, as he took the bowl. He took a drink, far less that he wanted to, and genlty handed the bowl to Sam.

Ashishishe Heyoka (Oct 9, 2010 9:52:15 PM)

Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 9, 2010 9:55:29 PM)
Jareth zoned a moment when the magic quickened in the area.. staring for a moment around at the tarps he'd help put up. Simply struck by the feeling. He couldn't place it.

Sam Angelico (Oct 9, 2010 9:58:15 PM)
*It would be pretty hard for her to get any more out of her element then she was right now, she watched very quietly. her eyes widening just slightly at the sudden swirl of spirtual energy around her. This had nothing to do with the lines of the web or the electric pull of digital web. *

Sam Angelico (Oct 9, 2010 10:01:26 PM)
*realizing that the bowl was being handed to her, she reached for it, a little trepidiciously but she took it and looked down at the contense. Then... well just took a drink and passed it over towards Jareth. Rather as if this wasnt the first time she'd jumped off a bridge*

Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 9, 2010 10:04:57 PM)
He would take it without comment, and take a drink of it himself.. Though, he winced.. ack.. moonshine.. the burn!.. Still, he did not complain.. and if it looked like he was Ash was waiting for it he would hand the bowl back to him. If not he would hand it back to Ryan.

Ashishishe Heyoka (Oct 9, 2010 10:05:18 PM)
As soon as they drank of the elixer, symbolizing their acceptance of his willworking, their eyes became open. For some, those not adept in the sphere of the umbral world, it would be new, perhaps frightening, perhaps even comforting. They would see the shapes of the many spirits who had already begun to gather, drawn in by the first tongue sigils drawn on the ground and painted upon the dreamspeakers body. Called by the sheer faith he offered with his words. Spirits of great owls shimmered in the bows of the tree, those of the fox, crocodile, and hare crept up to the edge of the shadows beneath the blankets. The fire itself had seemed to come alive, it's dancing movements now taking the form of a man of fiery temperment and yet great wisdom. The wind that howled around them spoke in words that stirred the consciousness of times long past, yet words whose direct meaning remained obsfucated at the edge of their minds. They were allowed a glimpse through the gauntlet between worlds. A visage both awe inspiring a

Ashishishe Heyoka (Oct 9, 2010 10:05:30 PM)
and terrifying all at once. A warm familiar smile spread across Heyoka's lips then as he looked to Basil, "Little brother. Drop that beat you know they love. Sing for them with the rhythm of the drum." That said, he reached out to take the bowl from Jareth. Rising, he walked back around the fire to face them.

Ryan Cooper (Oct 9, 2010 10:08:28 PM)
Basil's smile grew a little more, if that was possible. He retrieved the bongos from beside him. His hands feelign them, before placing them in his lap. He tapped each once, to get a base of the sound. He nodded, as he went to tapping in set beat...

Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 9, 2010 10:12:19 PM)
He was tempted to get his mask.. but.. this was not his ritual, and besides he didn't need any help seeing, thanks to the assistance of that drink.. It left him off balance for a moment till he made a centering gesture and closed his eyes a moment. Then he was able to open his eyes again and look around without reeling at the spirits that had gathered. Noting especially the fox for a moment..

"Great spirits, we have gathered to offer you the respect and honor you deserve. We have taken in the elixer of gazing so that we might look upon you as you look upon us, in ways our senses might understand." He then tilted back his head, tilting up the bowl, letting the remainder of the elixer to spill into his mouth, the excess running down his face and chest to soak the breach cloth around his waist. When he looked back to the flames he spit it out in a great spray, the potent liquor combusting in a great cloud of flames that rose up into the night. "I share this elixer with you, mixed with my own water, so that you might know the ecstacy that fills us with your presence." With that he dropped the bowl to the ground, crushing the clay beneath his bare heel, paying little heed to the cut it left in his skin. He lept through the flames themselves, moving to take one of Sam's and JAreth's hands in each of his own, dragging them to their feet out into the circle he had drawn around the fire.

with me, but you dance for them. Know no inhibition, no regret, no sorrow, no sin. Tonight you are one with the spirits of the land and protected within their embrace." The potent drug peyote, so freshly squeezed from the cactus button, would begin taking it's effect. Suddenly the surreal umbral landscape would reach into them in a most deep and primal way, touching their very subconcious in a haze of swirling colors. The steady beat of the drums called to them, luring to release themselves, abbandon sensibility and simply know the freedom of movement and the warmth of the flames. Releasing their hands, Heyoka spun away, himself dancing around the fire. He called out to the spirit world in the first tongue, Odu, anchoring it to their own through the smoke of the fire and the crimson essence of life his bleeding foot left in the dirt.

Ryan Cooper (Oct 9, 2010 10:33:43 PM)
Basil's head swayed, as he played the beat on the bongos. His eyes shut behind his aviators, not to dull the peyote's effect, but to enhance it through his ears. He could hear his heart, it's steady thumping, coursing his blood. The beat would take a slight sound of a heart beat with a few momnets that were like flappign and fluttrign of wings, while still keeping in spirit of the original beat. Basil was engrossed with the music.

Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 9, 2010 10:36:00 PM)
His breath quickened the more the effects of the peyote actually took ahold of him, so much it seemed he almost seemed to know Ash was coming, and slipped to his feet easily with the sudden pull moving into a swirl as soon as he was released.. Jareth certainly wasn't one that needed to be coaxed into such things, he needed no more invitation to dance for the spirits than that and a wild sort of dancer he was, too. Lots of twirling around.

Sam Angelico (Oct 9, 2010 10:42:17 PM)
*She watched him come for her and she froze for a moment. every thing comleatly alien to her, but the trust she had for him, inspite of what was a short period was beyond strange. She let him tug her to her feet. Following along even though it wasnt what one would consider natural she got caught up almost inspite of her self. *

Ryan Cooper (Oct 9, 2010 10:42:58 PM)
[Man, I wanna dance now too. :( ]

Ashishishe Heyoka (Oct 9, 2010 10:45:50 PM)
Even as his shared magicakl perceptions began to fade from their eyes, the ever increasing effects of the peyote would leave lingering reflections of the spirits who joined in to dance amongst them around the fire. Each one giving their blessing to the humans who actually had the will to see them and pay proper homage. They could feel the wall between worlds crashing down around them with each circle they made around the flames, the gauntlet itself growing weaker as the umbral world was tied to that of the tellurian. They would feel Heyoka's will reaching out, tying fast the binding that would hold the worlds together. Their minds consumed by the drugs and the sheer euphoria of the powerful magick being woven, each would dance and play well into the night until they would collapse one by one from exhaustion. Even then they would see the shadowy forms of the spirits as they danced amongst the thinning gauntlet around the camp.

Ashishishe Heyoka (Oct 9, 2010 10:46:27 PM)
( And that pretty much concludes the actual ritual. Thanks all of you, I hope you enjoyed it. The rest is just free floating RP in the aftermath. ^_^ )

Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 9, 2010 10:46:49 PM)
(.....muahaha.. .>.> <,<)

Ryan Cooper (Oct 9, 2010 10:46:55 PM)
[So, I can rock out 'White Room' on the bongos now?]

Ashishishe Heyoka (Oct 9, 2010 10:47:04 PM)
( hehe, sure. )

Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 9, 2010 10:47:25 PM)
(*checks Jar's stamina right quick*)

Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 9, 2010 10:53:00 PM)
(hmm.. darn) Yeah.. Jareth would go until he dropped.. which wasn't exceptionally long. Panting for breath somewhere, stuck just listening if Ryan was still going, but with a silly sort of smile on his face anyways. Something like this made him supremely content.

Sam Angelico (Oct 9, 2010 10:54:08 PM)
* where ever that would find her, would likely be the bigest pile of blankets she could find her hed burried in them some where the cat that seemed to constantly jsut some how be around. For the most part asleep, though the occasional movements of others or sounds would make her open her eyes. she curled up to get warm and tried to not think to hard*

Ashishishe Heyoka (Oct 9, 2010 10:54:21 PM)
( Dirty digi. I really wish I could save a log of this scene somehow, lol )

Ryan Cooper (Oct 9, 2010 10:56:50 PM)
Basil would play, until his hands hurt...and then even a little longer. As he rounded out the beat to a finale, he was panting. Sweat dripping from most of his body, he set the bongos down as he leaned back. He took off the aviators, allowing the light of the fire to reflect visible streams of what had to of been tears down his cheeks. He still had a wide smile, as he spoke, "Man...Crow...wicked...as always..."

Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 9, 2010 10:57:06 PM)

Ashishishe Heyoka (Oct 9, 2010 10:58:02 PM)
Heyoka himself would eventually tumble to the ground in a clatter, an expression of pure ecstacy and elation etched into his features. He would crawl over to Sam's side, wrapping her up in his strong arms, consuming her in a warm embrace. His head bowed as he whispered into her ear, his face burrying in her silken brown hair. He laughed softly as he looked up in response to Basil's words, smiling broadly as if he may never stop. "Thank you little brother. I couldn't have done it without you...I couldn't have done it without any of you."

Ashishishe Heyoka (Oct 9, 2010 10:59:19 PM)
( The intense heat of the flames, mixed with the dancing/playing til exhaustion would purge the majority of drugs from their systems in the hours the ritual actually took place. So you'd each be sober enough to act reasonably btw )

Ryan Cooper (Oct 9, 2010 10:59:51 PM)
[Damn you soberity!]

Sam Angelico (Oct 9, 2010 11:01:49 PM)
*she streatched out slowly and rolled more in to him taking half the pillows with her, dislodging the cat, whcih seemed to simply disappear with a puff of smoke and reappear at a diffrent location some where around Ashe's feet. dark hair tangled and down after her hair clips fell... some where? during the the all the movement that night*

Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 9, 2010 11:02:08 PM)
A soft chuckle, he said something in mandarin.. but who knows what, and curled up on his side for a moment. "...that was a trip." He just kind of says softly after awhile.

Ryan Cooper (Oct 9, 2010 11:03:47 PM)
Basil blinked, as he stared at the fire. He had a bad realization that he was dangerously close to sober, so he pulled out his flask and took a few swigs, be fore easing more deeply into the tree he was leaning on.

Ashishishe Heyoka (Oct 9, 2010 11:07:06 PM)
He sighed happily, holding Sam in his arms as he propped himself up against some of the blankets she had piled beneath them. The large fire in the center of the camp had begun burning down some, it's powerful heat fading away. He shivvered slightly as the cool breeze washed over his sweat dampened skin. "You have all honored me greatly by joining in this ritual. I can not think you enough and I hope that no shadows may fall in your paths..."

Sam Angelico (Oct 9, 2010 11:11:14 PM)
I dont think I'm driving home tonight. Getting int he car and getting home sounds slightly hellish. *she streatched slightly and sighed, starting to feel sore in places she'd forgotten she had. disloding the cat again which vanished once more with a whisp of smoke. Then reappearing next to Ryan, who seemed to be twitching less*

Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 9, 2010 11:11:48 PM)
Jareth of course was reasonably certain Ash was stretching the truth with the ' couldn't have done it without you' comment.. but he didn't say anything. Just smiled, and Streeetched out a moment before laying on his back and staring upwards as he then pillowed his head with his hands. "I help where I am needed... it was a welcome surprise to be here for something like this. Thank you for doing it."

Ryan Cooper (Oct 9, 2010 11:14:33 PM)
Basil, spotting the cat apear, started to pet it. He slid is avaitors back on, then slid a cigarette out of his pocket. Gently places in his lips, he lit it and took a drag. His head tilted back, looking at the sky. "Tripendicular," his smile wide as always.

Ashishishe Heyoka (Oct 9, 2010 11:16:39 PM)
He bowed his head, placing a light kiss into Sam's hair. "Then stay here for the night, you are more than welcome, you know that." He offered Jareth a warm friendly smile as he looked up, nodding respectfully. "You are welcome here any time, my new friend. Of that you can be certain."

Sam Angelico (Oct 9, 2010 11:19:57 PM)
*nodding a little she started to relax agian pulling the blankets up fruther over her shoulders her eyes closing as she just listened to the men talk and drifted in and out. Slowly falling asleep right where she was.*

Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 9, 2010 11:20:18 PM)
"Good.. because i don't think i'm going anywhere tonight.. too tired." A soft smile, he yawned a bit and crawled over to find his boots so he could tug them on.. otherwise his feet were gonna freeze if he fell asleep now.

Sam Angelico (Oct 9, 2010 11:21:11 PM)

Ryan Cooper (Oct 9, 2010 11:21:53 PM)
"Pansys..." Basil's voice like that of a partier. He tilted his head back down, "That was just a warm up. The might is still young man." He stood, slowly, and cracked his back.

Ashishishe Heyoka (Oct 9, 2010 11:23:36 PM)
He chuckled softly and shook his head as he watched Basil for a moment, then looked back to Jareth. "Help yourself to the blankets we hung around the clearing, we don't need them any more. Make yourself comfortable. Though I'm afraid there's only one tent, I'll be putting sleeping beauty here in that one."

Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 9, 2010 11:31:54 PM)
He just mutters nonsense to himself, struggled back up to his feet and went to find a blanket he could pull down and curl up in. Soon he returned to the dying fire and sat down next to his backpack so he could rummage in it. After a moment there is a glint of firelight off silver as he put his mask on and secured it... a halfmask, hand-tooled of a woman's face, with lightning and clouds.

Ashishishe Heyoka (Oct 9, 2010 11:34:31 PM)
Stiffling a yawn, another shiver rushed up his spine from the breeze and he nodded to himself. "I'm wore out. I'm gonna get some sleep. Thanks again for your help, guys." And with that he lifted up Sam, carrying her into the tent and drawing the flap closed behind him.

Ryan Cooper (Oct 9, 2010 11:34:45 PM)
Basil slung his guitar on his back, and picked up the bongos. He gave his necka crack, as he took a drag from his cigarette. He looked at his hand, "Oh, right. I was gonna do that chick. I hope that party she mentioned aint over..." He trailed off as he walked slowly to the truck.

Ashishishe Heyoka (Oct 9, 2010 11:35:21 PM)
( Thanks again for the scene. I'm calling it a night. )
