::the door opened, it was dark in the entrance, her body in shadows:: I'm okay... I conked myself on the table... Audrey was panicked.. come in.... come in. ::she opened the door further::
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 24, 2011 12:03:42 AM)
He slipped inside quietly, backpack over his shoulder.. "You blacked out too?"
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 24, 2011 12:09:01 AM)
Yes... I did. .... I.... if you give me a moment, I can make myself more presentable. ::she says softly, keeping to the shadows. Nothing appears to be wrong with her silhouette::
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 24, 2011 12:10:33 AM)
"Um... sure." He closed the door behind himself, locked it.. and moved for the kitchen. "Mind if I get some water?"
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 24, 2011 12:11:19 AM)
**Alan is not going to demand she step forwards or anything, who knows if he even caught she was hiding.
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 24, 2011 12:12:42 AM)
::she shakes her head:: I.... no. ::she moves towards the basement, following behind him as she moves. Her usual gloriously red-gold auburn hair, as she passes, is a vivid green... the absolutely beautiful color of verdant hills, her skin... is pale... almost colorless. However, he can't see her face::
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 24, 2011 12:14:41 AM)
(*rolls to see if he even notices*)
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 24, 2011 12:15:50 AM)
(this is something that's hard to miss, she has hair to her ass, and she's 5'10)
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 24, 2011 12:16:30 AM)
A blink... and he kinda goes quiet, glancing back at her as he caught the intensity of the color out of the corner of his eye.. A little startled to say the least. He blinked a few times in surprise.. "Wow... pretty." Said.. very matter of factly.
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 24, 2011 12:20:11 AM)
::she paused... at the door. (okay... we'll show it all the way.... he can see something only Cas has seen. As she turned, her skin appeared petal soft, it was white, almost as pure as kaolin white, creamy, the faintest of a rosy blush at her cheeks, a barely there hue. Her lips were a shade green lighter than her hair, her eyebrows, even her eyelashes were tinted green... and... it appeared natural on her. Her eyes were fantastically green, even more so than her hair, pools of sparkling emerald, unnaturally so. As he looked, her delicate long fingers, arms, all were that same white color... and her nails, were the same green as her hair. It seemed to trail beneath her clothing, her bare feet were tinted green, the nails the same as her hands, the skin, however, was that green tint.::
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 24, 2011 12:22:14 AM)
He only stared for a moment or two more, then smiled playfully. "Very pretty." And... to the cubboard he went, to get a drink.. only glancing back at her once he'd done so.. blinking. Somehow... it didn't shock him any, or freak him out, or anything like that.
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 24, 2011 12:26:09 AM)
::she nodded, the pink at her cheeks got a bit darker... and she paused... not going back down just yet, but Audrey's creepers were wrapping around her ankle, protectively:: I.. didn't want to weird you out...
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 24, 2011 12:29:25 AM)
It totally should. It totally completely should freak him right out. It just didn't. He looked back.. and blinked again.. actually thinking about that for a second.. "Um.. I... You.. Don't." A small smile, and he shrugged as he got some water to sip at and glanced away, saying quietly. "I mean.. I deal with spirits.. They have... very fantastic ways of showing their form."
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 24, 2011 12:32:00 AM)
I.... this isn't a form... Jareth. This.... this is what the magic did to me. When... when Audrey and I bonded. When it happened.. the water... I woke up...
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 24, 2011 12:32:29 AM)
The other... me. With... my hair...with my skin...and... the other things... They... ::she sighs:: That is now my disguise..
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 24, 2011 12:35:09 AM)
He nodded without looking at her.. sipped his water again as he turned about, dark eyes almost glittering for a moment. "Okay."

Aislinn Connelly (Jan 24, 2011 12:36:18 AM)
::she raises a brow, watching him, and the pink turns darker, as she looks a bit embarrassed::
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 24, 2011 12:36:33 AM)
(fyi, we're playing Friday night... after we all went unconscious)
Cas Brimley (Jan 24, 2011 12:37:12 AM)
((Oo..good to know!)) *catching back up to the others once she'd secured her restaurant, she raps at the door before letting herself in*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 24, 2011 12:38:05 AM)
A faint smile now. "Aislinn... I'm not going to freak out over your appearance.. what I'm freaked out about is not remembering anything since breakfas--" He blinks, looks towards the door, and then blinks at Cas.
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 24, 2011 12:38:11 AM)
::there are lights on, the entryway is dark, basement door is open, Jareth and Ais in the kitchen... Ais... undisguised and in all her green glory::
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 24, 2011 12:38:44 AM)
::she raises a brow:: What do you mean you don't reme-... ::pausing, she looks from Jareth, to Cas, and nods to her:: I'm glad you're alright as well..
Cas Brimley (Jan 24, 2011 12:39:23 AM)
*locks it back up behind her, still a bit scattered* Everybody in one piece still? *a shaky smile, coming over to hug them each in turn*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 24, 2011 12:39:38 AM)
"Um... ex..exactly that." Returning the hug, feeling bewildered.
Cas Brimley (Jan 24, 2011 12:40:43 AM)
*eyes Jareth* You seemed to take it hard back at the club.
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 24, 2011 12:40:46 AM)
::she nods, and hugs Cas, Audrey has a vine wrapped securely around Ais' ankle. His leaves rustle weakly as he hears Cas' voice:: What happened? Before you went to sleep... last night... and this morning... I need details.
Cas Brimley (Jan 24, 2011 12:41:49 AM)
Oh Audrey baby..Auntie Cas is here.. did the mean ol' biddy scare you? *rushing over to the door to scoot down the steps and hug vines*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 24, 2011 12:41:57 AM)
"Er... nothing unusual.. i had eggs for breakfast and.. I just... don't really remember anything after the fact they were good." A blink at Cas.. "Club?"
Cas Brimley (Jan 24, 2011 12:43:46 AM)
*in the basement, reassurring the sentient philodendron already*
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 24, 2011 12:43:47 AM)
::Cas is greeted with many vines, wrapping around her protectively, yet... absolutely refused to let go of Ais' ankle, sliding up her calf now. The leaves were trembling a bit, as though he was a bit traumatized:: He's never... gone dormant before. It took a bit out of him. ::she frowns:: Is it blank... do you have any sense of what happened?
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 24, 2011 12:46:10 AM)
"I draw a blank.. until i woke up on Nathaniel's couch.. he um.. said i was praying something and passed out. I don't remember it." A deep frown, as he looked off at the basement door.. really just staying where he was for now.
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 24, 2011 12:46:33 AM)
When did you wake up?
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 24, 2011 12:46:40 AM)
Before the attack.. or after?
Cas Brimley (Jan 24, 2011 12:49:15 AM)
*hugs and reassures, letting Audrey cling tight, warming the plant* Baby.. it's alright. The nasty old biddy is going to be fried six ways from sunday, just for hurting you. *petting leaves* You need to let go though..so I can go talk with Ais and Jareth about it.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 24, 2011 12:49:24 AM)
A confused blink. ."Um.. I..." He stopped, gripping the strap of his backpack a little harder, thinking.
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 24, 2011 12:51:11 AM)
::Audrey let go, albeit reluctantly, vines trailing on her legs as she went up the stairs, still refusing to let go of Ais still:: Okay... what did you do last night? Let's start there...
Cas Brimley (Jan 24, 2011 12:51:30 AM)
*smiling to the other two shen she rejoins them*
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 24, 2011 12:52:03 AM)
Will it help if you write it out?
Cas Brimley (Jan 24, 2011 12:53:31 AM)
What are we writing? *blinks owlishly*
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 24, 2011 12:54:37 AM)
I'm trying to see if I can pinpoint when his memory failed him... or... I can.. peek...? ::she watches Jareth as she makes that suggestion::
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 24, 2011 12:57:51 AM)
"I don't remember last night.. but... " He looked.. confused.. then rubbed at his neck a little.. "Then... how did I know where my backpack was?.. I'd... left it.. at the club..." A blink. "But I don't remember being there." Something of a groan.. and he found a chair to sit in to put his head down.. "Hell, I don't know. Peek if you want, otherwise, give me a minute."
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 24, 2011 12:58:53 AM)
You can have your minute.. but if you are having trouble finding or expressing your thoughts, I can help. If you want it. ::patient, she moved for the fridge, getting a bottle of green-tinted water, and she sucked it down, completely::
Cas Brimley (Jan 24, 2011 1:00:11 AM)
You texted me to see what I was up to. I invited you to the Circle club. I was there celebrating the successful single-night open for the city employees on Firday.
Cas Brimley (Jan 24, 2011 1:00:17 AM)
((Friday.))
Cas Brimley (Jan 24, 2011 1:00:55 AM)
I can show you the text log.. *retrieving it..and looking at the screen on her phone* Might jog your memory to see your own words.. *offering it to him with a shrug*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 24, 2011 1:05:08 AM)
"I... just... don't remember... I woke up on Nathaniel's couch.. he was talking about collapsing, so was Darwin.. but I don't remember it. " A twinge was showing in his expression, clearly he was getting a headache just thinking about it. "What happened that everyone's talking about? What did I miss?"
Cas Brimley (Jan 24, 2011 1:07:36 AM)
You didn't miss it. You were sitting beside me when it happened.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 24, 2011 1:07:53 AM)
A confused blink.. and he stayed quiet.
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 24, 2011 1:08:32 AM)
::Ais just continued to listen to them both, adding it all up in her head::
Cas Brimley (Jan 24, 2011 1:09:37 AM)
Some sort of magic-related short circuit.. and then a freight train. I thought my parents were trying to kill me to reunite the family.. I get the feeling you saw something different, since you said something to Craig when we were all snappng out of it. And no. *decidedly* Craig wasn't there.
Cas Brimley (Jan 24, 2011 1:10:42 AM)
You didn't seem to wake like the rest of us did.. Darwin and I were trying to get you to the door, when i had to pass your arm to Isabel near the door and get some distance. *she winces* Which.. i still feel horrible about, even if you don't remember it.
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 24, 2011 1:11:47 AM)
Distance? ::watching Cas curiously::
Cas Brimley (Jan 24, 2011 1:11:51 AM)
You were flailing around and disoriented..I got you to focus long enough to cooperate with Darwin and I. We could hear sirens and I didn't want anyone to get caught with me if I was found. Night like this I'm betting the Suits are out in force.
Cas Brimley (Jan 24, 2011 1:12:01 AM)
*the last to Ais*
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 24, 2011 1:13:03 AM)
Caught with you? ::she perks an eyebrow::
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 24, 2011 1:13:07 AM)
He took a gulp of water.. looking disturbed by all this. Understandably.
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 24, 2011 1:14:43 AM)
::Ais is frowning, looking to her cabal... and she sighs out::
Cas Brimley (Jan 24, 2011 1:15:13 AM)
*lifts a brow* This thing hit every mage in the area at once. The suits -have- to have figured that out just like we did.
Cas Brimley (Jan 24, 2011 1:15:45 AM)
Easy collection day. Show up, look for people who are just coming to.. or folks that the mundanes are trying to "help"?
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 24, 2011 1:16:27 AM)
::she nods, frowning:: We all went down... I was hoping it was just myself and Audrey... ::she sighed out::
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 24, 2011 1:17:01 AM)
"Well... if it hit us... It.. hit them too."
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 24, 2011 1:17:33 AM)
They may have been recovering themselves... ::shaking her head::
Cas Brimley (Jan 24, 2011 1:20:32 AM)
Sirens went off all over. I didn't want to take a chance of getting Isabel, Jareth, Darwin, Jordan, Skye.. 8she shakes her head* I'm too Frickin obvious.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 24, 2011 1:22:15 AM)
"......" A frown at that.. Though.. Jareth perhaps wisely said nothing.
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 24, 2011 1:22:45 AM)
::she just paused, also frowning:: Okay... So... you don't remember blacking out, Jareth?
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 24, 2011 1:23:42 AM)
"No.. I don't." He sipped his water. "Nothing definate since breakfast."
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 24, 2011 1:24:14 AM)
And you do not remember last night?
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 24, 2011 1:25:27 AM)
(This still is that night. :P)
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 24, 2011 1:25:34 AM)
(technically. :P)
Cas Brimley (Jan 24, 2011 1:25:43 AM)
((Probably 3 in the morning by now.. lol))
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 24, 2011 1:25:53 AM)
(lol, true)
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 24, 2011 1:26:09 AM)
(fine... today)
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 24, 2011 1:26:44 AM)
"......" Sigh. "Nothing since breakfast before waking up on Nathaniel's couch. I swear.. I'm not sure how I even knew where my backpack was.. I didn't think about it at the time, I just did it."
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 24, 2011 1:27:23 AM)
Where was your backpack?
Cas Brimley (Jan 24, 2011 1:27:43 AM)
At the club.
Cas Brimley (Jan 24, 2011 1:28:02 AM)
((Err.. ?? not . ))
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 24, 2011 1:32:13 AM)
"Yeah."
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 24, 2011 1:32:43 AM)
Were you there last night?
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 24, 2011 1:34:33 AM)
"Apparently. ....look.. it's.. not really that important, is it? So I lost a night.. screw it. We got bigger fish to worry about."
Cas Brimley (Jan 24, 2011 1:35:16 AM)
*hugs Jareth* I'm glad you found your way here. I really have to get home. Just had to check on you both once things calmed down.
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 24, 2011 1:36:12 AM)
::Ais paused... just watching and she nodded to them both:: You are both welcome to stay here, if you like.
Cas Brimley (Jan 24, 2011 1:37:36 AM)
*she thought it over* ..then I have to crash now. So I can make it home in the morning to get to work.
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 24, 2011 1:38:19 AM)
::she nods, gesturing towards where Cas'-bedroom-away-from-home was:: I will... be up.. and downstairs. ::her eyes slid towards Jareth::
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 24, 2011 1:39:21 AM)
"...." He looked.. worried if anything. Hugging Cas one. "I can.. stay... I just.. I'm gonna get on the phone a little later, check on folks."
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 24, 2011 1:40:35 AM)
::Ais nods towards her in-home office:: You can find privacy there, if you need it. ::she moved for the door quietly, locking it and arming the alarm before she turned, watching them both:: My house and its contents are yours, as you like. Make yourselves at home. :: Ais began to slip towards the downstairs, leaves rustling almost immediately as she approached::
Cas Brimley (Jan 24, 2011 1:43:11 AM)
*heads off to crash* ((Night!))
