*inside he orders a cone, chocolate, and then waits for her*
Phaedra Anderson (Jul 30, 2010 12:24:20 AM)
~gets a cup of strawberry and heads for a quiet corner~
Joshua Davidson (Jul 30, 2010 12:26:03 AM)
*holds the chair for her, then sits down* So...yeah, the thing with Elaine was...sort of funny. The other night when she got...sick. You saw what happened..... (I assume)
Phaedra Anderson (Jul 30, 2010 12:27:18 AM)
uhhuh... I was kind of out of it..
Joshua Davidson (Jul 30, 2010 12:31:45 AM)
*nods* Its ok, it got a little...messy. Anyway, she was...well...dying there and there wasnt anyone who knew enough to help her much and we didnt know if the ambulance would get there in time...she stopped breathing...so...I tried...something. I didnt know if it was going to work, but....*shrugs and takes a bite of his ice cream* See, this one time, I was sort of...experimenting...and I...sort of accidentally bonded Tarra and I. Its hard to explain...its not physical...its more...spiritual. Does that make sense?
Phaedra Anderson (Jul 30, 2010 12:32:31 AM)
~looks a bit confused by that~
Joshua Davidson (Jul 30, 2010 12:34:59 AM)
I know, its a little confusing, but...anyway, that night, when I had my...um...*wiggles his fingers* she felt it too. Oh, maybe thats how you can think of it. You ever hear about twins? Sometimes they say when one twin gets hurt, the other one can feel it, even if they are hundreds of miles apart? It was that sort of connection.
Phaedra Anderson (Jul 30, 2010 12:35:33 AM)
~blinks a bit... that was curious~
Joshua Davidson (Jul 30, 2010 12:37:51 AM)
Anyway, it wore off after a few hours, but I thought...well...maybe if I could make that kind of bond with Elaine, then....well I know how to heal MYSELF, maybe that would be enough. But there wasnt alot of time to think about it, and I...well maybe I was just a little panicky....so I used the first appropriate prayer I thought of to ask God to consecrate her to me. And...it worked.
Phaedra Anderson (Jul 30, 2010 12:39:04 AM)
~blinked a bit at that...~Interesting...
Joshua Davidson (Jul 30, 2010 12:39:20 AM)
Only problem was...when I was thinking about it the next day...I realized that the prayer than I had used....*grins* was an old hebrew marriage vow. *laughs*
Phaedra Anderson (Jul 30, 2010 12:40:47 AM)
so you weren't joking when you said you married someone?
Phaedra Anderson (Jul 30, 2010 12:41:06 AM)
isn't Tarra unhappy she wasn't first?
Joshua Davidson (Jul 30, 2010 12:43:02 AM)
*laughs again* Well, it wasnt really LEGAL...I mean, she wasnt even conscious. But, just in case, I wrote a Get...thats a hebrew document of divorce...the next day and gave it to her. She thought it was pretty funny. So did Tarra when I told her.
Phaedra Anderson (Jul 30, 2010 12:45:04 AM)
~looks at him weirdly for that~ Divorces are serious business
Joshua Davidson (Jul 30, 2010 12:47:12 AM)
*shrugs* So are marriages. So an accidental one would be a bad idea.
Phaedra Anderson (Jul 30, 2010 12:47:53 AM)
~looks at him worriedly~ I was supposed to be married
Joshua Davidson (Jul 30, 2010 12:48:26 AM)
Oh....what happened?
Phaedra Anderson (Jul 30, 2010 12:48:58 AM)
I'm here instead?
Joshua Davidson (Jul 30, 2010 12:50:39 AM)
Well yeah, but.......oh. Right, sorry. It wasnt someone you WANTED to marry....
Phaedra Anderson (Jul 30, 2010 12:51:35 AM)
I was bad.
Phaedra Anderson (Jul 30, 2010 12:51:53 AM)
It's not about wants, it's about duty
Joshua Davidson (Jul 30, 2010 12:55:17 AM)
*frowns* Thats crap, Phae. Are you talking about like an arranged marriage? I know that they still do that in some places...even in some of the Hasidic communities here still do it. I...guess...theres nothing wrong with it...if you actually LIKE the person. But if you dont, its just silly.
Phaedra Anderson (Jul 30, 2010 12:55:58 AM)
it was divine revelation
Joshua Davidson (Jul 30, 2010 1:00:26 AM)
*looks at her* God doesnt work that way. Believe me...I know. Maybe...once, a long time ago...when people were REALLY messed up...God said "do this" or "dont do that". But he doesnt do that anymore. When God talks to us, its...subtle. If someone told you it was a divine revelation, its because THEY decided that what something meant. Not that God told them.
Phaedra Anderson (Jul 30, 2010 1:01:56 AM)
have you watched the news... read the paper... the world is messed up
Joshua Davidson (Jul 30, 2010 1:05:47 AM)
The worlds allways been messed up. We just hear about it more now because of the media. We're actually a WHOLE lot more civilized now. But its still all about free will. So...if you chose not to marry someone you didnt love...I dont think Gods going to be too upset.
Phaedra Anderson (Jul 30, 2010 1:07:24 AM)
Not what the nightmares say...
Joshua Davidson (Jul 30, 2010 1:09:06 AM)
Maybe, but...where did they come from? God? Or your own fear?
Phaedra Anderson (Jul 30, 2010 1:10:11 AM)
they started the other night... when I was helping you...
Joshua Davidson (Jul 30, 2010 1:14:56 AM)
Oh....oh that. Phae...Im really sorry about that. I shouldnt have taken you there...I didnt know how bad it really was.
Phaedra Anderson (Jul 30, 2010 1:16:00 AM)
~just looks at the ice cream.... pale at the very memory~
Joshua Davidson (Jul 30, 2010 1:16:55 AM)
I dont know exactly what they did there but it was....horrible. They...defiled it.
Phaedra Anderson (Jul 30, 2010 1:17:44 AM)
~trembles just a bit~
Joshua Davidson (Jul 30, 2010 1:23:15 AM)
*reaches over and pats her hand* I dont think we can fix it. I think the best we can do it...purify it so it wont be a continuing blight.
Phaedra Anderson (Jul 30, 2010 1:24:00 AM)
~jumps back away at the touch... she's not about touch at all~
Joshua Davidson (Jul 30, 2010 1:27:44 AM)
You REALLY need to relax, Phae....*nods* But, there was something I wanted to talk to you about. Something a bunch of us talked about yesterday, and I looked into some more today.
Phaedra Anderson (Jul 30, 2010 1:28:08 AM)
what is that? ~quietly~
Joshua Davidson (Jul 30, 2010 1:30:09 AM)
Well...weve been talking about needing a...safe place for...gifted people. Somewhere where we can meet and talk, maybe study or whatever. Xander has some idea about building some kind of fortress or something but....thats going to take months or years.
Phaedra Anderson (Jul 30, 2010 1:30:56 AM)
~chews on her lip softly~ Like the commune?
Joshua Davidson (Jul 30, 2010 1:35:05 AM)
No...not really. Im not sure what he has in mind other than that hes going to be in charge. But we need some place...now. And this might be good for you too....*digs a paper out of his pocket...its a photocopy of a real estate ad...it shows a picture of an victorian house with a wrought iron fence and this description: A 100 year old Victorian Bed and Breakfast for sale in the Historic District. It features over 7,000 sq. ft. of living area, 7 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, parlor, den, formal dining room, 3 floors, 10 fireplaces, a garage apartment with 1 bedroom plus a loft and 2 bathrooms. The yard features a swimming pool, gazebo, wet bar and shop. Asking price: $599,000)
Phaedra Anderson (Jul 30, 2010 1:37:51 AM)
~peers at the add quietly~
Joshua Davidson (Jul 30, 2010 1:41:26 AM)
It would be a good place...private, but with lots of space....and private rooms for people who needed them
Phaedra Anderson (Jul 30, 2010 1:41:48 AM)
It looks very pretty
Joshua Davidson (Jul 30, 2010 1:42:46 AM)
It would also be a safe place where we could help look out and protect each other.
Phaedra Anderson (Jul 30, 2010 1:43:11 AM)
~peers up at him.... looing lie she was thinking about it~
Joshua Davidson (Jul 30, 2010 1:44:30 AM)
Its a bed and breakfast, so every room has its own bathroom...and its own key. The only thing shared would be the kitchen and the common rooms. *grins* And the pool.
Phaedra Anderson (Jul 30, 2010 1:46:07 AM)
~nods quietly at him~ It sould nice... really
Joshua Davidson (Jul 30, 2010 1:49:29 AM)
I think so. I think with a bunch of us chipping in, we can do it....without letting Xander run the whole thing. Be good too....moneys getting a little tight.
Phaedra Anderson (Jul 30, 2010 1:49:55 AM)
~tilts her head at him questioningly~
Joshua Davidson (Jul 30, 2010 1:52:21 AM)
Um...well...Tarra is out of work right now, and had to go back to New York to help take care of her grandfather for a while...so Im kind of scraping by on whats left of my stipend from the internship until my grant for next semester comes in.
Phaedra Anderson (Jul 30, 2010 1:52:49 AM)
~wrinkled her nose up just a bit at that~
Joshua Davidson (Jul 30, 2010 1:55:04 AM)
*shrugs* I dont mind top ramen and tuna....the cat doesnt mind the tuna either.
Phaedra Anderson (Jul 30, 2010 1:55:36 AM)
you have a cat?
Joshua Davidson (Jul 30, 2010 1:56:19 AM)
Well...its really Tarra's cat.
Phaedra Anderson (Jul 30, 2010 1:58:23 AM)
you have a cat?
Joshua Davidson (Jul 30, 2010 1:59:21 AM)
(??)
Phaedra Anderson (Jul 30, 2010 2:01:37 AM)
(yes she asked again she wants to know about the kitty
Joshua Davidson (Jul 30, 2010 2:03:44 AM)
*nods* Hes...kind of retarded...she rescued him from a lab.
Phaedra Anderson (Jul 30, 2010 2:04:12 AM)
he just a tabby or what?
Joshua Davidson (Jul 30, 2010 2:05:47 AM)
Gray and white...and fat.
Phaedra Anderson (Jul 30, 2010 2:06:03 AM)
Awww ~leave it to kitties to get her to relax~
Joshua Davidson (Jul 30, 2010 2:07:47 AM)
You like cats?
Phaedra Anderson (Jul 30, 2010 2:12:39 AM)
~nods to him~
Joshua Davidson (Jul 30, 2010 2:14:33 AM)
I didnt see one in your apartment...not allowed?
Phaedra Anderson (Jul 30, 2010 2:15:05 AM)
~shrugs~ I might have to leave without notice... not fair to the kitty
Joshua Davidson (Jul 30, 2010 2:15:31 AM)
Oh...good point....
Phaedra Anderson (Jul 30, 2010 2:16:01 AM)
it's getting late... I should head in
Phaedra Anderson (Jul 30, 2010 2:19:12 AM)
