Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 26, 2011 12:00:08 AM)
Jareth wanders along and knocks. Of course.
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 26, 2011 12:00:29 AM)
::no answer, door is unlocked however::
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 26, 2011 12:01:20 AM)
A raised eyebrow, he tried the door.. blinked when it wasn't locked. Frowned and slipped in to close it behind him. "Aislinn?" He called.
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 26, 2011 12:02:41 AM)
Downstairs... ::she calls:: Audrey said it was you... ::speaking softly::
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 26, 2011 12:03:52 AM)
A pause. "Okay!" And he slipped along then, feeling less worried, sticking his nose in the basement door and tugging lightly on the nearest vine as he peeked about.
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 26, 2011 12:06:55 AM)
::the basement door was wiiiide open, and a lovely warmth spilled up the stairs from down. Audrey's vines were laying at the top of the stairs and they rustled excitedly as Jareth came into view.:: Cas is expected... she'll be here soon, no doubt.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 26, 2011 12:08:15 AM)
"Allo, greenie.. " He said to the vines, and carefully stepped over the vines to pick his way down into the basement with her before looking up to Ais.. "Yeah.. Was bugging Izzie."
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 26, 2011 12:12:07 AM)
::she looks up, from her long table, working with some seedlings. The little pots were showing some growth, little teeeeeeny leaves starting to sprout up. Audrey slid a vine around his ankle comfortably, like a hug, and the bottom half of Ais' legs are completely covered in Audrey's vines, like a cocoon.:: Oh? How is Isabel?
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 26, 2011 12:13:36 AM)
"Alright.. one of the others found a Psychic and he was getting them together.. becuase the poor kid is a newbie. Her psych's telling her she's nutzo."
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 26, 2011 12:15:09 AM)
Wait... they found a psychic... and who was getting who together? And who's a newbie...? Slow down...:: she grins, putting a seedling down and watching Jareth with a faint smile::
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 26, 2011 12:18:36 AM)
"Er... " A pause. "Nathaniel called Isabel. Isabel called me because she wasn't sure who he was. So we both showed up. He had the girl there, I don't remember her name, but her therapist had her on antipsychotics because her gift is manifesting. He wanted Isabel to look out for her since their gifts are so similar. Poor girl needs to know how to sheild."
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 26, 2011 12:27:36 AM)
::she nods and tilts her head:: I don't know that Isabel knows how to shield.
Cas Brimley (Jan 26, 2011 12:27:49 AM)
(This user has entered Ais' Place) (IP = 68.23.86.29)
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 26, 2011 12:28:13 AM)
He shrugged. He didn't know either, and they'd just met the girl.
Cas Brimley (Jan 26, 2011 12:28:36 AM)
((Sorry, had to de-deathtrap the garage so mother doesn't die in the morning))
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 26, 2011 12:29:52 AM)
::she nods:: Okay... so we have a foundling on antipsychotics... with similar gifts to Isabel... and people who are reaching out for help. ::she frowns:: And we know nothing about these people....
Cas Brimley (Jan 26, 2011 12:29:55 AM)
*she arrives late, rapping at the door and then unlocking it hurriedly to dash in, she's dressed in her usual faded jeans and a tie-dye'd blue tee with a black apron over top*
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 26, 2011 12:30:09 AM)
(snerks, knew that key would come in handy)
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 26, 2011 12:32:30 AM)
"Well... yeah." He slips over to sit down somewhere. "Nathaniel is... .. A hollower, I believe." He frowned a bit. "He's the guy who's couch I woke up on the other day. I don't -like- him much.. but..." He shrugged.
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 26, 2011 12:32:33 AM)
::both down in the cellar, leaves are rustling the second Cas' flip flops are heard, cellar door wide open, lovely warmth coming from beneath::
Cas Brimley (Jan 26, 2011 12:34:48 AM)
*comes a thwippin down the steps on her own, since she's not sure if Audrey's busy down there..and she'd hate him to miss his usual catch. She appears slightly out of breath when she rounds the corner to find them* Hi!
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 26, 2011 12:36:05 AM)
Hi Cas! **He waves.. sitting down.. somewhere.
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 26, 2011 12:37:02 AM)
::Ais is standing at a worktable, her lower half is surrounded by Audrey vines, looking like she was working with seedlings prior to Jar's arrival. She smiles to Cas:: Hello, Cas... ::Audrey, immediately, wraps Cas up, from head to toe, squeezing gently, before unwrapping her upper half::
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 26, 2011 12:42:25 AM)
.
Cas Brimley (Jan 26, 2011 12:43:11 AM)
*hugts the plant back before waving to Jareth and Ais* What'd I miss?
Cas Brimley (Jan 26, 2011 12:44:13 AM)
Sorry I couldn't slip away earlier, but the restaurant's opening tomorrow and everything is insane right now.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 26, 2011 12:44:43 AM)
He just nodded.
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 26, 2011 12:45:30 AM)
::she nods:: I know... and we won't take long... I think we just want to roundtable... with all three of us, the invitation to Isabel to join up with us. I know there were some concerns, and some encouragement... I figure we should get them out on the table, openly and honestly.... so we can be serious about it.
Cas Brimley (Jan 26, 2011 12:48:38 AM)
*she nods* Okay, um. I like her. She doesn't seem quite as ..well eager, in a weird way.. as the three of us are. She's got it in her head that she's somehow weaker or less useful, so that's gonna be a project. Not saying we don't have our own issues already, but in general we're all willing to dive in and try it. I don't get that snese from her.
Cas Brimley (Jan 26, 2011 12:48:53 AM)

Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 26, 2011 12:50:43 AM)
He nodded. "Well.. she's.. been alot of help to me.. to be honest. Had my back when I needed it."
Dalton Fortman (Jan 26, 2011 12:50:49 AM)

Aislinn Connelly (Jan 26, 2011 12:51:48 AM)
::she nods:: I do like her as well... and I agree. She doesn't have much confident in her new gifts, as the rest of us seem to be. She's will need assistance, I think in that, and I'm willing to help her with that. However, I like her as a person, and I enjoy her company.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 26, 2011 12:52:48 AM)
"Me too.. most of the time." He paused.. "Though.. " Stopped again, thinking..
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 26, 2011 12:53:19 AM)
::she raises a brow, watching Jareth::
Cas Brimley (Jan 26, 2011 12:54:04 AM)
*looks to him curiously*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 26, 2011 12:54:35 AM)
"It's.. I think it's the same thing Cas was saying. She doesn't have a lot of faith in .... everyone's ability to pull together and make it happen. But that may be something that will come with time. I don't know. Just.. when I was meeting Henry, she was very mistrusting of the whole thing."
Cas Brimley (Jan 26, 2011 12:55:58 AM)
Who's Henry? *she shakes her head abruptly* Okay, no don't answer. Isabel. I'm focused. And yes.. she lacks faith.
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 26, 2011 12:57:38 AM)
::she nods:: I agree... and... I think she's scared. Of her gifts...
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 26, 2011 12:58:15 AM)
A nod. "I think so.. "
Cas Brimley (Jan 26, 2011 12:58:27 AM)
It's more than that.
Cas Brimley (Jan 26, 2011 12:58:49 AM)
I mean frick. I'm afraid of my shadow.. but I still trust you two.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 26, 2011 12:59:30 AM)
"Well... she's had a really nasty scare with the Technocracy. They picked her up.. and Pa got her out before they confirmed anything."
Cas Brimley (Jan 26, 2011 12:59:57 AM)
Pa?
Cas Brimley (Jan 26, 2011 1:00:09 AM)
*shakes her head gain* Nevermind. Okay.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 26, 2011 1:00:27 AM)
A faint smile. He'll have to explain all this later.
Cas Brimley (Jan 26, 2011 1:01:03 AM)
Um, so there's the question. Do we offer to pick her up and fix her as we go, or do we help her first and see what she ends up as?
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 26, 2011 1:02:41 AM)
::she smiles softly:: Okay... So... we know she has trust issues and a lack of faith... then again.... many of us do.
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 26, 2011 1:03:47 AM)
Do we have any idea as to how she's feeling?
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 26, 2011 1:04:01 AM)
"Um... " Another pause.. "I.. I'm not sure. To be honest. I think she needs a group. Needs to know someone has her back."
Cas Brimley (Jan 26, 2011 1:04:31 AM)
I'm not sure she let herself believe we'd accept her as an equal i the cabal.. So I don't know that she's even on the page with us.
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 26, 2011 1:06:03 AM)
Sooooooo... okay. ::she takes a breath, and suddenly, she's lifted onto the workbench by Audrey, not seeming very surprised by it, sitting down and caressing the vines:: I think we need to have a serious discussion with Isabel then. That seems fair to all parties.
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 26, 2011 1:06:57 AM)
I agree with Jareth... that she needs to have people to trust and depend on. And I think we could offer that to her... give her the faith she's missing. Perhaps some of the confidence... But, I also agree with Cas. She doesn't see herself as an equal.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 26, 2011 1:07:49 AM)
He nodded.. "I think so too. I like Izzy.. I worry about her, and I'm gonna be helping her whether she joins us or not, so.. Yeah." He gave a lopsided kind of smile.
Cas Brimley (Jan 26, 2011 1:08:16 AM)
Same here. I think we all want to see her succeed. It's jut a matter of whether she's ready to accept -us-.
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 26, 2011 1:08:35 AM)
::she nods:: Agreed. And on your last point as well, Cas.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 26, 2011 1:09:11 AM)
Jareth nodded.
Cas Brimley (Jan 26, 2011 1:09:13 AM)
Probably all should be there. She didn't take it seriously when Ais and I were talking to her.
Cas Brimley (Jan 26, 2011 1:09:24 AM)
Like..she thought we were just being nice.
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 26, 2011 1:09:32 AM)
::she nods:: I had a similar impression...
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 26, 2011 1:10:00 AM)
"I don't know if she realizes just how much help she's been to me, if nothing else."
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 26, 2011 1:11:03 AM)
::she nods, sighing out a bit:: Then.. we need to speak with her. Next step....
Cas Brimley (Jan 26, 2011 1:11:27 AM)
*laughs a bit* Yeah.. -We- all know she's a sweetheart and a great asset.. But she doesn't get it.
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 26, 2011 1:11:50 AM)
::she grins:: So... how do we convince her of that?
Cas Brimley (Jan 26, 2011 1:11:56 AM)
We're going to have to prove everything, or argue her into the floor every step of the way.
Cas Brimley (Jan 26, 2011 1:12:21 AM)
I mean, even the simple little shit like: We like you and we want to work with you, whether you join up or not.
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 26, 2011 1:12:52 AM)
Sooo... we need to be stubborn, calm and present a combined force. ::she smiles::
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 26, 2011 1:13:09 AM)
Hmm... **Jareth takes a moment or two to look thoughtful.**
Cas Brimley (Jan 26, 2011 1:13:33 AM)
We're good at that much..
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 26, 2011 1:14:23 AM)
::she nods:: Yes... I think we can manage.
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 26, 2011 1:14:34 AM)
We've planted the seed... who wants to approach her to set up the meeting?
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 26, 2011 1:15:09 AM)
"Well you guys already talked to her about it... I think I should."
Cas Brimley (Jan 26, 2011 1:15:17 AM)
*nods agreement with Jareth*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 26, 2011 1:15:23 AM)
"That way she'll know I'm really in on it too."
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 26, 2011 1:15:37 AM)
::she nods:: I think sooner rather than later...
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 26, 2011 1:15:53 AM)
Things appear to be happening with that crone...
Cas Brimley (Jan 26, 2011 1:15:55 AM)
Besides.. we wait on my schedule for the next few weeks.. *she shakes her head* We'll be waiting till March.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 26, 2011 1:16:23 AM)
Heh.. What about Saturday?
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 26, 2011 1:16:42 AM)
::Ais shakes her head:: I am not available until the evening.
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 26, 2011 1:17:03 AM)
(last Saturday I have to work... I'm off tomorrow, work Thurs-Sat, off Sun)
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 26, 2011 1:17:20 AM)
Hmm.. We'll work it out then. *He shook his head*.. Whatever works. (Gotcha)
Cas Brimley (Jan 26, 2011 1:17:24 AM)
And opening weekend Saturday night? *she winces* ((My saturday night is fried in another scene already. lol One..I'm apparently leading a significant part of. >_<))
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 26, 2011 1:17:34 AM)
(grins, whistles)
Cas Brimley (Jan 26, 2011 1:18:09 AM)
I'm going to see the minefield laid clear behind me every step I take toward the door that night.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 26, 2011 1:19:20 AM)
(Sun?)
Cas Brimley (Jan 26, 2011 1:20:02 AM)
((I dont' know. IRL, hubby gets into town tomorrow morning, no clue hat the rest of my schedule looks like. I wouldn't have agreed to the Saturday thing if it hadn't been scheduled without even asking me.))
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 26, 2011 1:20:04 AM)
I'll swing by, Cas... we'll make it work out.
Cas Brimley (Jan 26, 2011 1:20:11 AM)
*she nods*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 26, 2011 1:20:46 AM)
"Eh... schedule later. I suppose. I'll come up with a decent pep talk if I can."
Cas Brimley (Jan 26, 2011 1:21:06 AM)
*she grins* That's the spirit!
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 26, 2011 1:22:33 AM)
(*eyes toh* hmm)
Cas Brimley (Jan 26, 2011 1:22:41 AM)

::Ais pulled into her garage and closed the door, letting the others in. Entering through the kitchen, her house was very... -very- clean. Lots of plants, comfy furniture. Her kitchen didn't seem too well stocked currently. Lots of kitchen equipment, but no food on the counters. Ais was heading for the cellar door, and a loud rustling can be heard on the other side:: Yes, Audrey... we're here... I need you to behave.. we have someone new to introduce you to.
Isabel Ross (Jan 26, 2011 11:41:37 PM)
*She follows, her eyebrow apparently stuck in Nimoyesque contortions*
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 26, 2011 11:42:22 PM)
::the intensity of the rustling sound did indeed reduce and it calmed a bit::
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 26, 2011 11:43:00 PM)
Jareth brought up the rear, locking the door after as a security measure before he stuck his hands in his pockets and meandered on after Aislinn, though he stopped at the top of the cellar and looked at Isabel, only to give her a calm sort of smile.
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 26, 2011 11:46:25 PM)
::she smiled to Izzy, encouragingly, looking as calm and serene as normal, as she opened the cellar door. A warm draught came from below, and it was lit up gently. The steps lead down, the scent of warm, slightly moist earth came from below, along with a light perfume of different flowers. Laying on the steps, was a large amount of vines, leaves still::
Isabel Ross (Jan 26, 2011 11:47:01 PM)
I have this odd feeling of dread....
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 26, 2011 11:47:34 PM)
He chuckled.. "Wait till you see Cas divebomb down."
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 26, 2011 11:50:04 PM)
::she laughs:: My heart was in my throat the first time. I was sure I was going to have to heal more than a few broken bones... but... he's never let her even come close. ::Ais approached the steps, leading the way, and the vines rustled excitedly.... like a puppy -insanely- pleased to see his mistress, one vine already rising up, and winding around Ais' wrist affectionately, one seemed to be waiting for Jareth::
Isabel Ross (Jan 26, 2011 11:50:05 PM)
*She waits for one of them to go down the steps first*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 26, 2011 11:51:28 PM)
"Yeah yeah, greenie.. " He stepped over and reached in to snag said vine and tug on it lightly. "Allo."
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 26, 2011 11:52:25 PM)
Yes, yes... we're here... keep calm... ::murmuring softly to Audrey, viney tendrils were tentatively waiting on Izzy:: Leave her be for now... ::said softly, Jareth's wrist was wrapped up lightning quick, hugging his arm, rustling excitedly::
Isabel Ross (Jan 26, 2011 11:53:44 PM)
*She starts down the stairs, trying to avoid the vines*
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 26, 2011 11:54:56 PM)
::Oh, I forgot to post, there is a very calm, -very-alive feelin as Izzy comes downstairs, it just feels -damn- good to be down here, refreshing, revitalizing, calming. The vines stay away and don't touch her, but they trail down the stairs, following her. They seem -very- curious, no sense of malice::
Isabel Ross (Jan 26, 2011 11:56:27 PM)
So this is Audrey? Where's the singing fly trap? *She gingerly reaches out to touch a vine*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jan 26, 2011 11:56:35 PM)
Jareth isn't precisely avoiding htem. Just avoiding stepping on them. Once at a safe distance he hopped outta the way, spread his arms invitingly and went. "Tah dah! How bout a hug?"
