*Craig had a table on the back patio, semi-private - it was certainly quiet and this time of year the heat meant the tourists were lessened and the whole place - while busy - was FAR from packed, and this afforded some privacy. The building was big, most of the dining on the second floor main room, and craig was out back watching the lake in the twilight as the sun set reflected on the murky grey-brown water....*

Craig Killian (Jul 27, 2011 9:52:28 PM)
*He was dressed like he'd come from work - wing tips, a pair of slate gray slacks, a vest, but his black shirt sleeves were rolled to his elbows and the tie was gone somewhere along the way. There was a plate of fried gator on the table next to him and a mojito.*

Lyric Blake (Jul 27, 2011 9:53:21 PM)
- Lyric walked onto the patio clad in a simple white tank top and khaki short-shorts with chocolate brown leather sandals. her hair was loose and straight with her sublgasses pushed up into her hair. Her pretty face was devoid of make up and there was a definate feeling of melancholy about her as she slipped into the seat , crossing her legs. She gave Craig a grina nd snagged a piece of fried gator- Hey there!

Craig Killian (Jul 27, 2011 9:56:58 PM)
welcome to a little corner of heaven i was lucky enough to rent for a few hours. Grab a chair. How's things in Lyric's world? *he munched on the gator as the sun sank lower in the west*

Craig Killian (Jul 27, 2011 10:01:07 PM)
I been studying a lot, trying to figure out the next step for me....

Lyric Blake (Jul 27, 2011 10:01:08 PM)
Not so good.. - she sighed settling back before munching on the gator tot- Mags is in a bad way and I don't know how to help her or even if I can help her.. shes taking running away drugs and cutting herself.. Now with us thats not too much a cause for concern, but shes even acting differently.. I know her inside and out litterally and something is very wrong... - she glanced up and motioned to a waitress to bring a mojito for her before munching down on the fried gator-

Lyric Blake (Jul 27, 2011 10:01:50 PM)
Yeah me too.. I thought it was checking out the spirit world, but thats way out of my skill set for now.. I need to study prime

Craig Killian (Jul 27, 2011 10:02:42 PM)
*he frowned* you think she's depressed after, you know, things went bad? Do we need to intervene somehow or do you think this has to run it's course? You know more than I?

Craig Killian (Jul 27, 2011 10:03:58 PM)
*craig figured Lyric with an appraising glance, the rare expression written on his face that only people he trusted ever saw...*

Lyric Blake (Jul 27, 2011 10:04:24 PM)
I want to intervene, but I know that we cant force a thing on her that she doesn't want. that is like the golden rule with our family...

Craig Killian (Jul 27, 2011 10:05:11 PM)
*He sighed and looked back out over the lake* Free will. Free will is an illusion, and morality and ethics are but relative - yet, I agree with you there.

Lyric Blake (Jul 27, 2011 10:07:36 PM)
No this is not simple free will Im talking about here.. - She kept her voice soft meant only for the table they shared- We have a code oddly enough and forcing anything on anyone is serious business.. they remove muses for such offenses.. its THAT deep.. I - she trailed off as the waitres rounded the corner and delivered the mojito, took Lyric order for Dungeness Grab and scurried off-

Lyric Blake (Jul 27, 2011 10:08:05 PM)
As much as my muse irks the hell out of me.. he's still mine and I want to keep him

Craig Killian (Jul 27, 2011 10:08:42 PM)
Oh yeah, like I said, I agree.

Craig Killian (Jul 27, 2011 10:09:15 PM)
Now...

Craig Killian (Jul 27, 2011 10:09:39 PM)
how do we make her feel like she wants to get better without forcing the issue and imposing some kind of involuntary effect upon her?

Lyric Blake (Jul 27, 2011 10:10:23 PM)
if I knew that I would have done it.. Shes been through hell on earth and if I ever see Jordan Malave again I will turn him inside out

Lyric Blake (Jul 27, 2011 10:10:46 PM)
Apparently he came by her place to tell her to and I quote" fuck off" and left town

Craig Killian (Jul 27, 2011 10:12:03 PM)
welllllll bring me with you so if he gets antsy I can kick his ass so hard he'll have to unbutton his collar to take a shit, okay? *He smiled pleasantly - and coldly - and popped another piece into his mouth* Who else is close to her that can try to keep her sane?

Lyric Blake (Jul 27, 2011 10:12:48 PM)
Me.. and she now looks at me like a hovering mother hen.. but Jarreth gave her a note at the chantry

Craig Killian (Jul 27, 2011 10:14:26 PM)
*he shrugged* If Jareth can get through to her maybe he'll be good for *something* anyway. I'll take what I can get.

Craig Killian (Jul 27, 2011 10:16:21 PM)
Even if it is from jareth....

Lyric Blake (Jul 27, 2011 10:18:13 PM)
- She snorts softly- yeah me too, but all he will do is let her do her own thing it seems... He doesnt really like her at all so I am not trusting that one but... - she propped her elbows onto the table and raked her hair- I have seen the detinatin fo this path she is on many times.. I dont need to be a seer for that ... and every time I have seen it I have attended a funeral .. if that happens to mags.. .. - she shook her head - lets just say I will not be good company for a while.

Craig Killian (Jul 27, 2011 10:19:16 PM)
*He sighed* maybe I should speak to her? Try to get her to get help? I doubt I can succeed where others have failed, she's not close to me, but I'll try if you think it will do any good at all.

Lyric Blake (Jul 27, 2011 10:24:10 PM)
You are stronger at the mentalgame than I am .. I didn't even try because I know she is actively blocking me out.. I know I hurt her when I told her that I was going to be with Dorian only - she looked down at her fingers as she played in the condensation on the glass- I feel bad .. and it changed nothing of my feelings, but once I came out of 5 day singing trance.. I knew what I had to do

Lyric Blake (Jul 27, 2011 10:25:40 PM)
She was one of the reasons why I wanted to study spirit.. my parents the other.. I thought that I could go and try to find them, or at least get whatever hounding her in the spirit world off her back

Craig Killian (Jul 27, 2011 10:26:21 PM)
*He nodded* I'll speak to her if she'll listen to me for a few. Try to open her mind without forcing a choice, if you think that'll help. Clear her thoughts at least.

Craig Killian (Jul 27, 2011 10:28:00 PM)
*he thought for several long moments...* Some days I wish I was stronger. Better.

Lyric Blake (Jul 27, 2011 10:29:38 PM)
Yes please and you are so full of it, you are one of the strongest people I know on earth ..- she reached out her hand and covered his- I have never seen you do anything other than give your best thats why I fucks with you and your crazy ass wife - she grinned-

Lyric Blake (Jul 27, 2011 10:30:10 PM)
Seriously, you do things I can only dream about doing.. you are completely badass darlin!

Craig Killian (Jul 27, 2011 10:33:16 PM)
*he laughed* badass maybe, but I still have a lot to learn and a long way to go before I call myself a master of my ways, but thank you, your kind ness falls not on deaf ears. Still, I don't know that I will be able to sway Mags, but I will try.

Lyric Blake (Jul 27, 2011 10:41:00 PM)
Thats all you can do.. the rest is up to her.. But I am certain that shes pretty much given up .. Hell I been there a time of two myself.. but i never resorted to cutting myself or being out of my mind high on bad shit

Craig Killian (Jul 27, 2011 10:42:37 PM)
Well, I've done some stupid, base, low, asinine, idiot things in my day.... most of those are well behind me thank god. I used to be one lousy person.... I like me better now.

Lyric Blake (Jul 27, 2011 10:44:37 PM)
Yeah i can say the same for me too now.. I was on a bad path but studying mind helped me to work through alot fo that.. I am more centered.. but right now i cant shake this .. melancholy I feel

Craig Killian (Jul 27, 2011 10:47:56 PM)
it's because this city is so tightly locked down and has so little hope that we can unlock it. we've little chance for the real.... magick.... that imagination and willpower can weave.

Lyric Blake (Jul 27, 2011 10:50:16 PM)
Ihave been thinking.. perhaps its time to move, but I want to help unlock this city so bad.. nothing has been right since I moved here.. theres no council, no chantry worth a quarter.. nothing.. Things are improving, but the chantry still reeks of bad juju left over from ma .. they need folks with mind and prime to help out, I said I would anything to shake the creeps from that place

Craig Killian (Jul 27, 2011 10:51:27 PM)
What really needs to happen is someone needs to... blast the chains binding this place to smithereens. To set it *all* right. It's a dangerous, dangerous ploy... could get a lot of folks killed.

Lyric Blake (Jul 27, 2011 10:52:55 PM)
I have stopped caring abou tthat possibility, its not like we will get out of this bullshit called life alive anyway.. may as well make it mean something

Craig Killian (Jul 27, 2011 10:55:28 PM)
*He grinned over at her* Finally ready to shake the pillars of heaven are you?

Lyric Blake (Jul 27, 2011 10:57:17 PM)
- She smiled slowly- Hell yeah.. all is well in my soul at this point one thing though, I cant fight to save my life - she chuckled- I need to get that corrected sir

Craig Killian (Jul 27, 2011 10:58:14 PM)
*He nodded once slowly* THAT is something I can correct... but, the question is... *he gestured wildly out toward the lake and the world beyond* Like them? or *he gestured toward his own heart* Like us?

Lyric Blake (Jul 27, 2011 11:00:27 PM)
Both.. I am tired of sitting around doing nothing.. I gig to pay the bills but its not as important to me as it used to be.. I came into this world knowing that I was born to do this I hid in the mundane world too long.. its time to put my big girl panties on - she smiled-

Craig Killian (Jul 27, 2011 11:02:09 PM)
*He nodded* The world is flat.

Lyric Blake (Jul 27, 2011 11:06:11 PM)
Once I get prime down I need entropy more life and forces.. since im not a badass I can be a look out / sheidl type of person

Lyric Blake (Jul 27, 2011 11:06:39 PM)
That is what I was thinking about for a while, play to my strngths, and know just enough to keep from getting snatched up

Craig Killian (Jul 27, 2011 11:06:51 PM)
*He popped the last of his aligator into his mouth and munched thoughtfully* Tomorrow morning. Long pants, t-shirt, tough clothing. Lessons start at dawn. You will learn how to avoid hurt, and how to cause it. But when I teach martial arts, you will find that you are able to do things you never thought you could.

Craig Killian (Jul 27, 2011 11:07:13 PM)
*He smiled over at her* Good, or bad, will no longer bother you.

Lyric Blake (Jul 27, 2011 11:07:56 PM)
- she grinned- Great.. I will be there with bells on

Craig Killian (Jul 27, 2011 11:08:27 PM)
*He nodded* Also, be ready to get bruised. Not on purpose, but it will happen.

Lyric Blake (Jul 27, 2011 11:09:17 PM)
as long as you can fix what you break im good.. I have gigs and cant be all busted up the stage clothing doesnt hide much unfortunately

Lyric Blake (Jul 27, 2011 11:10:06 PM)
I can shake the pillars of heaven, but the electric company wont takethat for an excuse when they come to cut the lights off - chuckling-

Craig Killian (Jul 27, 2011 11:10:09 PM)
I can't, yet, but we'll learn, and we'll start slow. AS we get better, we'll train harder.

Lyric Blake (Jul 27, 2011 11:10:18 PM)
Cool.

Craig Killian (Jul 27, 2011 11:13:41 PM)
*He looked back out over the water* It always comes back to the water here. In New Orleans. The Bayous. The Lake. It always, always returns to the water and the river.

Lyric Blake (Jul 27, 2011 11:16:48 PM)
Water is the most destructive force on earth, and its unstopable for the most part .. you can hold it back for a time, but even then it will eventually over come... - She drank her mojito dry and shook the glass a bit- that tasted like another one .. - she looked up just when the waitress was comming with her plate and motioned for another round for them both before she tied the bib onto her neck and started to break off a leg and open it-

Craig Killian (Jul 27, 2011 11:19:04 PM)
*Craig thought for a moment.* such it is with martial arts. Will you be the water that rushes over and around the rock, flowing and powerful and ever changing, or the rock that parts the water, strong and stalwart and unyielding. Do you flow, or do you force others to spend their energy against you?

Lyric Blake (Jul 27, 2011 11:21:12 PM)
I think I am more the flowy type that seems to fit me .So Yes, i rather be the water that rushes over the rock unpredictable ever changing

Craig Killian (Jul 27, 2011 11:23:55 PM)
Then that's what you will be. You will learn the Shen Chuan style, how to flow, to move with the universe.

Craig Killian (Jul 27, 2011 11:24:49 PM)
(and I need tog et my ass to bed. Gotta get up at 5.)

Lyric Blake (Jul 27, 2011 11:24:58 PM)
