Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 12:02:15 AM)
Alright. So how do you accomplish that?
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 12:02:59 AM)
I don't know! I tried to be around people and tried to get used to them.. I talked to people and I met strangers and I did stuff and I'm still scared
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 12:03:35 AM)
Well...getting mad is one way. *he says, sounding amused* You could just -stop- being afraid.
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 12:06:17 AM)
I dunno how to stop being afraid..
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 12:11:30 AM)
You're something special, Friday. You have talents most people -dream- of having. What , exactly, do you have to be afraid of, in a room full of poeple?
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 12:12:03 AM)
People who make other peoples privates go away?
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 12:12:32 AM)
*He snorts* You don't use yours, why would you care if it went away for a little?
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 12:12:35 AM)
People who are mean and spiteful and cruel and who don't care what they do, they just do it because they can..
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 12:12:50 AM)
Because it's -mine-.. and nobody has the right to take that away from me
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 12:14:11 AM)
They can't take it away from you, permanantly. Not if you don't want it to stay like that. And who cares if people are spiteful jerks? Words can't do any real harm, not if you don't let them. Especially when you know the person is just being hurtful.
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 12:20:12 AM)
*She fidgeted a little and sighed* I .. I don't know Nate.. Even when I understand something it still hurts..
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 12:21:09 AM)
I know, Friday. But whenever you're afraid, or hurt because of a jerkface...just tell yourself over and over in your head that you're better and stronger then that...and it'll help. Promise.
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 12:28:50 AM)
*She slightly nodded, sighing softly and hugging her legs* I'll try..
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 12:29:14 AM)
That's all any of us can really do.
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 12:29:58 AM)
You do it so much better though..
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 12:30:20 AM)
I wasn't drugged out of my mind for most of my adult life.
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 12:32:43 AM)
I just want to feel like everyone else..
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 12:33:04 AM)
You already do, Friday. You just have to learn how to function while doing so.
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 12:34:34 AM)
Everyone else feels this too? Like everything they do is wrong?
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 12:35:09 AM)
Sane people feel self doubt all the time, yeah. What you have to do is remind yourself you're being silly.
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 12:35:31 AM)
But I really -do- do it wrong.
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 12:36:00 AM)
Bah. Not everything
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 12:36:26 AM)
Almost everything..
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 12:37:18 AM)
There you go, Friday. If you did everything wrong, you'd not be graduating from a good college with good grades.
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 12:42:11 AM)
Great.. I'm nice and smart.. and completely useless when it comes to social interactions.
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 12:42:28 AM)
It happens. Why do you think I rely on sarcasm so much?
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 12:43:15 AM)
Cause you're witty
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 12:44:21 AM)
*he snorts* No. Because I need -some- way to interact with people. I don't like people very much. They're confusing and random and not at all regular, like chemicals or physics.
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 12:49:01 AM)
*She nodded faintly and sighed, shifting around and curling up against him*
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 12:49:53 AM)
*he kisses her temple* So what do you think of Ada?
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 12:52:42 AM)
She's ... weird like me. And she makes me feel a little better about it..
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 12:54:05 AM)
I think you two will get along well.
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 12:57:15 AM)
I kinda hope so.. but I dunno..
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 12:58:08 AM)
I think so. You guys have a lot in common.
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 1:00:50 AM)
Yeah, we're both fucked up..
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 1:01:17 AM)
You both have weird pasts you have to work against.
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 1:01:51 AM)
I'm just .. Miserable most the time. Not with you, but just.. the rest of the time.
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 1:04:18 AM)
*he kisses her temple again* It'll get better.
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 1:04:48 AM)
*She closed her eyes and sighed softly, mumbling very softly* ...I really like you
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 1:05:07 AM)
I like you too, Friday.
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 1:05:59 AM)
I mean... *She took a slow breath and let it out* A whole lot.
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 1:06:38 AM)
Yeah?
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 1:08:44 AM)
*She nodded slightly* Yeah.. Like.. a lot.. like.. when I'm really freaked out I just want to see you and when I do get to see you I immediately feel better and safer..
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 1:13:25 AM)
That makes me happy, knowing I make you feel good.
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 1:16:02 AM)
I .. you make me want to know what it's like to be comfortable with someone close to me.. like.. yanno.. um.. that..
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 1:16:29 AM)
You're close to me now, so...
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 1:16:58 AM)
I mean.. *She sighed and shook her head* Nevermind..
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 1:17:17 AM)
I know what you mean, Friday. But it's not gonna do anyone any good to rush it.
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 1:17:56 AM)
I'm twenty-one.. I don't think this is rushing it, there's twelve year olds with babies..
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 1:18:11 AM)
Everyone's with someone.. and they look so happy
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 1:18:12 AM)
*He snickers* Just trust me on this, ok?
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 1:20:37 AM)
*She nodded a little bit* Ok..
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 1:20:58 AM)
Now...if you want to call yourself my girl or something...that'd be fine.
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 1:23:25 AM)
*She thought about that a moment as she looked up at him* Does.. that mean you're my guy..? *And then she promptly squeaked and writhed in surprise as her phone vibrated and she dug it out and looked at the message, texting bak*
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 1:25:29 AM)
Do you mind if Justin comes over? He can't sleep and was hoping to hang out.
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 1:26:24 AM)
I don't mind. *he says, stealing a cheek-kiss before rising to hobble into the kitchen to get coffee going again*

Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 1:33:05 AM)

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 1:38:14 AM)
Want coffee or tea, Friday? *he asks, fiddling*
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 1:38:48 AM)
Um.. just water I think.
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 1:39:04 AM)
Sure? I got a bunch of different kind of teas.
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 1:39:34 AM)
Sweet tea?
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 1:39:39 AM)
I can do that.
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 1:41:01 AM)
*She nodded a little and smiled faintly at him* Does that mean you're my boyfriend?
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 1:41:09 AM)
If you want to call it that.
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 1:41:22 AM)
(This user has entered Raven Labs) (IP = 172.130.16.225)
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 1:42:09 AM)
*justin parks his car outside the lab and texts revaling his presence*
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 1:43:12 AM)
What.. would you call it?
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 1:44:03 AM)
*He shrugs* Not gonna name it yet. *HE peers up, narrows his eyes a bit* Car just pulled up.
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 1:45:26 AM)
That's probably Justin. When.. do you name it?
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 1:46:24 AM)
I don't. Go see what he's doing.
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 1:47:41 AM)
*She got up and padded to the door, checking her phone to see the response and then peeking out the window and waving at the car*
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 1:47:48 AM)
*hes sitting in the car waiting for a response......hes not about to go inside some lab hes never beem to*
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 1:48:12 AM)
*seeing Fry he climbs out of his car and moves painstakingly to the door*
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 1:51:07 AM)
You okay Justin? *Asked as he came up towards the door*
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 1:52:04 AM)
*justin is looking like, well, shit, death warmed over would be far too nice a compliment, hes got injury dressings on his hands and several dressings on the back of his legs* Yeah, just a little tired. You ok?*his tone shows the grapevine left him informed on her prediciment last night*
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 1:56:16 AM)
I'm alright. Nate came and got me and brought me home. Why are you all bandaged up? *Holding the door open for him so he could come inside, looking over where the bandages were with worry*
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 1:57:02 AM)
Ritual shit.......*exhaling in volumes as he moves in the door*
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 2:00:53 AM)
I only slightly understand that.. *Inside is more like a garage, the front part is all in Victorian style, rooms sectioned off with paper walls and the like instead of set 'rooms' themselves with the back portion of the space set up with a Victorian styled laboratory* Have a seat, relax..
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 2:02:12 AM)
*he plops into a seat, wincing faintly as he does* Do you know what suspension is?
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 2:02:44 AM)
*Nate is in the lab, apparently making coffee...using the lab equipment*
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 2:02:58 AM)
No..
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 2:04:49 AM)
Now dont let any of this upset you, I did this for educational reasons........im only explaining this to you so you understand why im all banged up........*he smiles*
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 2:06:04 AM)
Okay..
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 2:09:05 AM)
Suspension, is when someone stratigaly places hooks into their muscle tissue in their legs and back and has themselves pulled up by ropes and -suspended-*tone tells you thats where the name comes from* in the air........it hurts pretty bad, but once you get used to it........its kind of strange.....but it wasnt all that bad, not that im reccomending it, just saying so you arent totally creeped out.
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 2:11:51 AM)
Uh huh.. *She shook her head a little bit* Weird..
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 2:12:41 AM)
Coffee or tea? *He asks from where he is*
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 2:12:42 AM)
*he smiles* I know its pretty gross. So where is this famous Nate?
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 2:12:48 AM)
(dlp)
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 2:14:02 AM)
(cancel deletion under the premise that i cant see nate)
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 2:17:25 AM)
I'm having sweet tea myself.. he makes lots of teas if you don't want coffee
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 2:18:19 AM)
Earl Grey??? *his tone friendly and searching because hes making a first impression as a disembodied voice*
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 2:19:13 AM)
Right *comes the voice as Nate hobbles into view carrying the pot of hot water and the other of coffee*
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 2:20:13 AM)
*he stands to assist moving upto him with a searching expression the can i help you with those kind of face, noticing you dont move with great ease*
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 2:25:21 AM)
May I help you with that?
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 2:25:58 AM)
*He shakes his head* Thanks, but no. I manage. Sit, sit. *and he settles the pots down onto a tray already sitting there, with sugar and cream on*
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 2:27:03 AM)
*he moves out of the way, not willing to besmirch someones dignity by beibng over insistant, he takes his seat*
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 2:29:14 AM)
*The tea and coffee set out, he flops into his seat* Hot water's in that pot there, teabags are in the little ceramic Tesla's head.
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 2:30:29 AM)
*he grins at that* I take it your a man who loves him some science? *he grabs a teabag out of the teslas head, leaving the lid off so Fry can make hers*
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 2:30:56 AM)
Something like that. *he says with a grin*
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 2:31:18 AM)
*She took up her sweet tea, instead of the hot, and sipped it*
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 2:33:46 AM)
*he replaces the lid where it goes, realising fry isint going to use it* um........*he closes his eyes his manic resonence moving out like a broadcast blip, it emmanates from him for just a second washing over like a wave then its gone*
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 2:35:06 AM)
*She froze, blinked a few times, and then just STARED at Justin* ... how'd you do that?
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 2:37:02 AM)
*a suprised and embarrased fluster washing over his face, he expected her to awnser the question, and with her not awnsering it hes nervous to awnser* Its just a stunt babe, but am I right?
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 2:37:54 AM)
*He shakes his head, smirking* How's the tea?
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 2:38:44 AM)
Lovely! *he has the chipper tone of one who has had many an uncomfortable wasp dinner, its fake, conversational and clearly a wag of the ole dog*
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 2:40:10 AM)
*She waved her hand a little and chuckled* Justin.. Nate's the one who showed me I wasn't crazy.. he's what you think he is.
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 2:40:26 AM)
But how'd you do that.. Can you help me? I can't control mine like that.. it just goes off..
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 2:40:56 AM)
*a sigh of relife* Im a telepath.......and I can try.......im not super good at it......but Id love to try......
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 2:42:57 AM)
Controlling my powers isint a problem unless they are developing........I almost killed my rat once........because of a flare.........its like a muscle babe........you just gotta practice like crazy......
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 2:45:49 AM)
Mine spazzes out when I get really freaked out or stressed and stuff.. I can't control it.. never could..
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 2:46:22 AM)
Which is why she thought she was nuts rather then gifted.
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 2:47:18 AM)
Is it your only one? *he curious, and talking openly........justin has no fear of his powers so the idea that others might not be comfortable with it* Well shes definately NOT nuts.....*an assured smile*
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 2:48:11 AM)
*is not something that crosses his mind* (finishing the sentance fragment)
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 2:49:42 AM)
*She shook her head* I can move stuff.. a little, small things. And I can talk to animals. After I came to the world and they put me in foster homes they put me in therapy, said I was insane and medicated me.
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 2:50:43 AM)
*he frowns at that* Im sorry you got screwed like that.......can you control you telekinesis?
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 2:51:26 AM)
(your rather than you)
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 2:52:48 AM)
*She nodded* I never finished learning control of the telepathy when I was with my parents.. but those I could.
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 2:53:12 AM)
Telepathy, I would imagine, is the most complex of the powers.
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 2:53:48 AM)
It's the strongest too.. My mother said I showed signs with it when I was still a baby. But I never could control it.
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 2:53:49 AM)
You would be suprised.......I have the most trouble with firestarting.........and teleporting.....
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 2:54:23 AM)
*looks to friday* Try to tell what im feeling........
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 2:54:55 AM)
*his tone want a command, it was a suggestion*
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 2:57:15 AM)
(ack wasnt, im worse than normal tonight lol)
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 2:57:26 AM)
I can't.. I've tried stuff before but.. I can't..
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 2:58:01 AM)
*he stands and moves toward you* May I touch you? At the temples?
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 2:58:59 AM)
*She fidgeted a little bit* I guess so.. if it won't hurt me..
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 2:59:33 AM)
Don't worry. I'll bop him on the head if he does anything weird. Once I hobble over there.
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 3:00:04 AM)
I'm just worried about what I might do to him if I freak out..
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 3:01:08 AM)
If at anypoint this makes you uncomfortable, or causes pain, let me know and I promise to terminate this expirement. *he smiles at Nates comment* Friday, if something goes wrong and im made uncomfortable..........you are already forgiven......were just trying this out ok?
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 3:01:40 AM)
*She nodded slightly* Okay..
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 3:04:55 AM)
*he takes her head in his hands(wrapped in lotsa bandages btw) and relaxes, urging his powers to the front his manic resonence fills the room* Now Fry, Im going to use the lowest form of this on you, im reading your mood........
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 3:05:30 AM)
*his eyes are completely black by the way, the mana causing his pupils to consume his entire eye*
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 3:06:02 AM)
Do you feel my presence?
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 3:07:07 AM)
*She squeaked softly and fidgeted, nodding somewhat* Y..yeah..
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 3:08:01 AM)
I can feel your sadness......why are you sad? *his tone is condiderate, hes not probing rudly, his tone is trying to build her confidence*
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 3:09:23 AM)
*She fidgeted, biting her lip* I don't want to talk about it
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 3:10:10 AM)
Ok.....do you feel like you could retrace my presence into my mind?
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 3:14:45 AM)
*She whimpered softly again and fidgeted, her brow furrowing together as she -tried-..*
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 3:16:12 AM)
Its ok Friday......just let it loose, its not a bad thing, your welcome in my head......
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 3:17:54 AM)
*he blinks at what hes sensing* Friday, do I have your permission to attempt to move you from your comfort zone, so I can see what it looks like at a flare?
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 3:18:53 AM)
Justin I really don't want to hurt you..
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 3:19:14 AM)
It will be completely psionic, It wont involve touching........*added for nates bennifet, so he knows justins not gonna be a creep*
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 3:19:44 AM)
*HE just motions with his hand, unconcerned*
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 3:20:25 AM)
Friday? Do I have your permission to try?
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 3:20:55 AM)
*She fidgeted but nodded a little bit* Ok..
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 3:26:07 AM)
*theres a serious BOOM to his manic resonence as he drops some real mana into this 4pts, he sends an impulse of complete exposure into her head, bracing himself for her powers backlash, assuming shes got quite a kick when properly motivated*
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 3:29:39 AM)
(guys i gotta log soon, just a warnign)
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 3:33:48 AM)
*He sits up, peering closer, curious*
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 3:34:09 AM)
*Friday's eyes went wide and then even a bit wider, looking at Justin before she let out a wrenching scream of sheer panic. The burst that came from her was massive and blood began to trickle down from her nose as her eyes rolled up in her head*
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 3:36:44 AM)
*his black eyes flit back to brown, his face showing shock, this is NOT what he expected, and its very evident, and the rush of things that are NONE of his buisness causes him to let her go and stagger back, this time holding his own temples.........hes straining, and his throat is spasaming as hes trying to talk but his brain is on overload*
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 3:37:32 AM)
*Nate's up as fast as he can manage, over to Friday's side, checking her pulse and breathing*
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 3:38:37 AM)
(spending a wp to talk) Is she ok-*he was going to say more but the gargling choking gag*
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 3:39:35 AM)
*Friday is in full blown panic, hyperventilating and flailing a bit as Nate checked on her, grasping clothing and staring up at him as her chest rapidly rose and fell*
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 3:40:32 AM)
*when the wave is over is hes sitting on the floor having kind of plopped there, he reaches out trying to override what he just did*
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 3:42:59 AM)
03/29/11 07:42:44 Justin Moore rolls 6 dice vs. diff of 4 to psychic calming: 2, 7, 9, 1, 8, 10 ,W: 4 successes
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 3:43:08 AM)
Breathe, Friday. Breathe *he says as he tries to soothe her*
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 3:43:37 AM)
*he slams her with an impusle of total calm, this time his resonence is remorsefull*
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 3:44:35 AM)
*Feeling the wash of calm her breath caught in her throat and slowly she calmed, breathing slower now, shifting somewhat to curl up against Nate in a tight ball and just repeatedly whispering* I'm sorry.. I'm sorry
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 3:45:11 AM)
*with that he stands and gathers his things, blearly eyed with some tearing, he moves to the door* Its not your fault Friday.........
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 3:45:48 AM)
Im the one whos sorry, and in the future, I think It would be best if we have a mindmage present for any more experimentation......
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 3:46:18 AM)
*hes panicking, he feels awful, having expected her toread his thoughts, not the other way around*
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 3:46:32 AM)
That's a very good idea. *he says, tone scathing, as he pets Friday*
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 3:48:01 AM)
*though a choked-out sob(hes not a puss enough to openly cry* Good Evening Nate, Goonight Friday.........Im fucking sorry I pushed you.......*he moves to leave*
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 3:48:17 AM)
(i really gotta log)
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 3:48:25 AM)

Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 3:49:51 AM)
*Friday remained tightly huddled up, calm, at least, but tightly grasping Nate's shirt as she whimpered faintly* I'm so sorry..
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 3:50:12 AM)
Why are -you- sorry, Friday?
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 3:50:52 AM)
Cause I freaked out.. I.. I freaked out.. and I hurt him.. and .. and I got blood on your shirt..
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 3:51:26 AM)
Not the first time...why do you think I wear so much black? And you freaked out because he did something he didn't know how to do. That's on him, not you.
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 3:52:05 AM)
I s..said he could.. He was just .. just trying to help..
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 3:53:29 AM)
He might have been...but he still messed up. It's not your fault, Friday. You know I'd tell you if it was.
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 3:54:24 AM)
*She sniffed and rubbed at her nose* My head -really- hurts..
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 3:55:08 AM)
*He wrestles her up into his favorite seat, patting her head before gimping off towards the lab* Hang on, I can take care of that.
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 3:57:07 AM)
*She curled up tightly in the seat, hugging her legs before Cat came up and hopped up into her lap and began purring, Friday wrapping the kitty up and burying her face against his coat*
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 3:57:54 AM)
You're going to get him all wet. *he teases as he comes back, adding something to her tea before holding it out to her* Here, drink up.
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 3:59:14 AM)
*She looked up bleary eyed and took the offered cup, sipping it slowly* Thank you..
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 4:00:51 AM)
*He flops onto the couch..his chair is super comfy...no wonder he likes it* Of course.
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 4:02:20 AM)
*She kept drinking what he'd made till it was all gone, closing her eyes and leaning back, petting Cat slowly* I'm sorry I panicked..
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 4:04:44 AM)
Stop apologising, Friday, I don't want to hear it.
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 4:05:35 AM)
*She bit her lower lip and nodded slightly*
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 4:06:22 AM)
*He stretches out on the couch. *Are you feeling sleepy yet?
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 4:07:06 AM)
*She rubbed at her eye a little and shook her head* Not yet..
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 4:08:38 AM)
Ok. Come to bed when you're sleepy *he says, yawning, getting up, and hobbling towards his bed*
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 4:10:18 AM)
*She blinked a little bit and looked at him before she got up and went padding after him* I.. can crawl in with you?
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 4:10:45 AM)
Why wouldn't you be able to?
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 4:11:46 AM)
... I dunno... never slept in a bed with someone..
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 4:14:29 AM)
As long as you don't snore or kick me, you're welcome to curl up with me.
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 4:14:41 AM)
I don't think I do either.. I dunno..
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 4:16:23 AM)
*He strips down to boxers and t-shirt, crawling into bed. HE looks super tired all of a sudden*
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 4:21:37 AM)
*She blushed furiously as he stripped down but realized she'd have to do the same, setting Cat down on the bed before she changed into her oversized t-shirt, bra and pants wiggled out of and folded before setting aside*
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 4:22:25 AM)
*He folds back the blankets, waiting for her*
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 4:22:57 AM)
*She crawled into bed, burrowing down under the blanket as she fidgeted*
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 4:23:28 AM)
Settle down, girl. Keep fidgeting and I make you sleep at my feet like a puppy. *he teases*
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 4:23:58 AM)
*She sulked at him*
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 4:24:17 AM)
*He tucks the blankets in around them* Better.
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 4:25:03 AM)
*She mrr'ed softly nuzzled into her pillow, yawning before just kind of staring at him*
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 4:25:36 AM)
*he closes his eyes...then asks* What?
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 4:26:42 AM)
Never went to sleep across from someone*
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 4:27:28 AM)
Roll over and snuggle your butt back against me. More comfy. less starey.
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 4:28:31 AM)
*She rolled over on her other side and scooted back against him slowly*
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 4:30:21 AM)
*he wraps an arm over her*
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 4:30:57 AM)
*She shifted some to peer at his arm and then settled her head back down, trying to get used to that sensation.. and finding she rather liked it*

Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 10:54:10 PM)
*Friday is flopped on the floor with Cat in her lap, peeking over the arm of Nate's chair as he graded the papers, watching curiously* ..can I help?
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 10:54:37 PM)
Do you know about the atomic weights of the elements?
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 10:54:51 PM)
*She nodded her head*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Mar 29, 2011 10:55:00 PM)
Sooner or later, his bike rolls to a stop outside the Labs, and he finds somewhere to lock it up. Jareth is in Jeans, smartass tshirt that said 'If I got smart with you, how would you know?' and his embroidered vest. His boots click on the cement, and the coins on his belt jingle faintly as he walks up to the door, and knocks.
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 10:57:23 PM)
*She displaced Cat from her lap and hopped up* I'll get it. *And off she scampered to the door to open it up and peek out. Seeing Jareth, she stepped back to let him further in* Welcome to the Labs.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Mar 29, 2011 10:57:46 PM)
"Hello again, Friday." He slipped inside..
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Mar 29, 2011 10:57:59 PM)
(hey nat, is this where i was last time?)
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 10:58:44 PM)
(Ayup)
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 10:58:44 PM)
(yup
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Mar 29, 2011 10:58:54 PM)
(Cool. -nod-)
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 10:59:11 PM)
*Nate's at his desk going through papers with a huge red marker*
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 11:00:50 PM)
*She smiled at him faintly and shut the door behind her before she padded back voer to Nate's chair, scooping up the fluffy black and white cat sitting beside said chair* Can I get you anything to drink?
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 11:02:34 PM)
*He offers Jar a smirk and a nod of greeting* What's going on then?
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Mar 29, 2011 11:03:30 PM)
"Maybe a little water.. but.. I'm fine, really.... " He eyed Nate as he was going through papers. "Well... did you hear about the fire? ...and the house blowing up that killed two kids? It was on the news." He found somewhere to sit down.
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 11:04:07 PM)
*She padded off to the fridge and fetched a bottle of water before returning to offer it to Jareth and flopping back down on the floor*
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 11:04:29 PM)
I don't usually watch the news. What happened?
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Mar 29, 2011 11:06:35 PM)
"Thank you, dearie.. " He'd crack it and sip at the water a bit.. "Well.. that isn't actually what was happened. That firetrap was set by the Union.. to cover up the fact they've kidnapped a newly awakened youngster.. His brother died in the fire, but got his mom out. .....apparently the kid read enough comics that when he woke, he could do that kind of thing.. was well on his way to blowing himself up when the Union caught him. Had to go through some of us to get him, too."
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 11:08:03 PM)
Interesting. So they've made the war hot?
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 11:08:50 PM)
*Friday's phone vibrated at her and she dug it out and texted something before looking up between the two of them again*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Mar 29, 2011 11:09:02 PM)
"Well... nobody died.. aside from the vulgar kid's brother... Still.. we want to save the kid.. we know where they took him."
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Mar 29, 2011 11:09:10 PM)
"He's just a kid, this ain't right."
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 11:12:18 PM)
*He frowns absently* Ok.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Mar 29, 2011 11:12:40 PM)
"There's also some other shit going on.. You heard anything about what's gone on with Ma and Pa.. and the missing awakened around the city?"
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 11:13:35 PM)
No. I'm entirely out of the loop. More or less on purpose.
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 11:13:59 PM)
Who're ma and pa?
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Mar 29, 2011 11:14:12 PM)
"Well in this case, that's a bad thing.. um.. this one's a doozy.. gimme a sec.."
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 11:14:24 PM)
Do you guys mind if Justin comes by?
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Mar 29, 2011 11:16:11 PM)
-a shrug-
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 11:16:13 PM)
*Nate shakes his head, still going over papers. *
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 11:17:39 PM)
*She texted and tucked her phone away, resting her chin on the arm of the chair as she watched the papers*

Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 11:19:36 PM)
*justin pulls up and parks, still not feeling super spry, he gets out of the car and moves upto the door and knocks politely*
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 11:20:07 PM)
*And as they talked Friday again got up and padded to the door, peeking out and then letting Justin in when she saw him*
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 11:21:56 PM)
*he moes in and gives her a big, apoligetic hug* Hey Fry.......*with a smile he looks to the others in the room* Hello Jareth, and good evening Nate, I apologise for how things happened last night, that was all well outside my intentions........*a sadish frown*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Mar 29, 2011 11:22:01 PM)
He paused, looked at the ceiling for a moment, then between the two of them.. "Ma and Pa were a pair of really strong mages that we found in the city when we got here.. Turns out they're more than just powerful.... Ma is Madam LaLaurie, and Pa is her husband. If you're familiar at all with New Orleans history, she is... and was... a socialite from when slaves were legal.. and she had a secret habit of killing them in nasty ways, she got caught, and run outta town.. but she came back with her husband as Ma and Pa... and.. she's been kidnapping awakened and killing them in order to power re-awakening the city, forcefully."
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Mar 29, 2011 11:22:15 PM)
(*was waiting for justin to come in so he could hear too*)
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 11:23:26 PM)
*She shut the door once Justin was in, accepting the hug and then taking a sleeve to drag him over and point him to a seat* Shh, we're learning.. *And she flopped back down on the floor and returned to petting Cat*
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 11:23:49 PM)
*he does as bidden* (afk a second)
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 11:24:44 PM)
*Nate's apparently paying only half attention* Alright. Why would they want the city to awaken? Surely it'd wake up pissed at them for their temerity?
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Mar 29, 2011 11:26:48 PM)
"Because the Technocrats put it to sleep during Katrina, and things have sucked since. No Juice available, and everyone ducking and covering while the Union has their way with the whole city... at least.. I'm -assuming- those are her reasons.. She could have something even nefarious in store, there are enough people that think she's Nephandi, for her methods, and I tend to agree."
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 11:28:31 PM)
Knowing if she's Nephandi should be relatively simple for a group to manage.
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 11:30:32 PM)
What about the node?
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Mar 29, 2011 11:30:47 PM)
"Yeah. We're pretty sure, she's evil, whether she's been through the cauls or not. It's just.. trying to get this so called "group" together is proving difficult... That's actually the main reason I came to you... I was hoping you might have some advice on herding cats." A blink to Justin, and then a shrug.
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 11:31:40 PM)
*He rubs his chin thoughtfully* Are there any active cabals or cliques in town?
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 11:33:12 PM)
What's a node?
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 11:33:35 PM)
Yep! *he chuckles* Its best to pick and choose......carefully......not everybody seems eager to cooperate..........'
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Mar 29, 2011 11:33:49 PM)
A nod. "A couple.. mine, Maggie's, and my old one, which is Craig's.. Craig's and Mine can work together, we don't like each other much but we can work together. ...and Maggie's.. uh" He paused. "There's some serious issues right there right now."
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Mar 29, 2011 11:33:56 PM)
A grimace.
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 11:34:16 PM)
Cause've Lyric and Aislinn?
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Mar 29, 2011 11:34:55 PM)
"Yes. Maggie was going on about shooting Aislinn, and... we're just trying to keep this from getting crazier than it is already."
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 11:34:58 PM)
Best thing to do is start with those cabals, and let them lead the way. You may need to come up with a way to pay out for services to non-cabalmates, but you should be able to come up with -some- way to entice them to help.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Mar 29, 2011 11:35:27 PM)
A thoughtful nod when Nat finished speaking.
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 11:35:31 PM)
"Help or.. we.. all..die"? *Looking between them curiously*
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 11:36:20 PM)
People can up and leave. Or might be strong enough or smart enough to survive alone. Most non-traddies would rather watch the trads burn then help them without payment.
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 11:36:46 PM)
...why?
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Mar 29, 2011 11:37:00 PM)
"Very true.. Saffron actually surprises me on that front, she -wants- to be involved."
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 11:37:55 PM)
Saffron is an excellent ally in any undertaking........I personally trust her quite a bit........Im very pro hollower
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 11:38:24 PM)
They dont get invoved in the squabling........
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Mar 29, 2011 11:38:35 PM)
-A nod- She's very good.
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 11:38:43 PM)
*She just stared at the three of them, rubbing her head slightly. OH! Word she knew, WOO!*
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 11:38:58 PM)
*To Friday* When you have a history of organized arrogance and institutionalized superiority complexes, you tend to piss people who aren't 'superior'.
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 11:39:49 PM)
Oh..
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Mar 29, 2011 11:40:30 PM)
-A wince at that-... Yeah. Only reason us cultists don't get kicked around so much, is we usually see it coming, and dodge.
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 11:40:41 PM)
How do you see it coming?
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 11:41:08 PM)
They're seers. Back and forth through time. It's their specialty. Right?
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Mar 29, 2011 11:41:19 PM)
"Right. The Cult of Ecstasy's specialty is Time.. as in.. seeing the future, or the past."
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 11:41:23 PM)
Oh.
Justin Moore (Mar 29, 2011 11:42:16 PM)
Hey just so you guys know, im very interested in throwing in my lot on killing this murder lady...........She is ruining powerful people who can do great good...........selling reality shot....
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 11:42:36 PM)
I only understood half of that...
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Mar 29, 2011 11:43:09 PM)
"Okay Justin.. I'm trying to get this organized. I'll keep you in mind." A smile.. and he looks.. thoughtul for a moment.. "You any good with old Legends, Friday?"
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 11:43:41 PM)
Depends on which ones.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Mar 29, 2011 11:44:50 PM)
"Lemme.. remember that name.. " He thought... (*KICKS GOOGLE* C'mon!)
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Mar 29, 2011 11:47:11 PM)
(-sigh- I'm lucky i'm connected to the chat. I'mma have to wing it. Can't browse)
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Mar 29, 2011 11:47:25 PM)
"You familiar with the one about Cassandra, the oracle?"
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 11:47:48 PM)
*Nate rises, stretches out* Anyone want coffee or tea?
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Mar 29, 2011 11:48:01 PM)
"I'm fine." He salutes with his water.
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 11:48:21 PM)
Um.. This is not the same as the Delphi oracle..
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 11:48:29 PM)
Sweet tea? *looking hopefully at Nate*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Mar 29, 2011 11:49:03 PM)
"No.. but it's similar. That's what cultists do, or a part of it at least."
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 11:50:24 PM)
*He hobbles his way into the lab to make coffee. Thanks to the way the place is laid out, he's still visible and easily heard* Pretty classic ability. Precognition and retrocognition.
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 11:51:23 PM)
Huh.. So.. Do any of the um.. traditions.. speak to animals?
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Mar 29, 2011 11:52:11 PM)
"The Verbena, the Dreamspeakers... classically those two.. but.. I'm an odd duck for a cultist. I can speak with animal spirits."
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 11:52:50 PM)
Speaking to spirits isn't really the same thing Friday can do. She speaks cat, for example, not spirit-speak.
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 11:53:23 PM)
*She held Cat up to Jareth* I talk to him.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Mar 29, 2011 11:53:36 PM)
He nodded. "Awesome." And a smile.
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 11:53:44 PM)
I can't find anyone else who can.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Mar 29, 2011 11:54:14 PM)
"The Akashics might be able to.. but.. they're really strict about how things are done.. " A faint.. disturbed look at that.
Friday Lovelace (Mar 29, 2011 11:54:37 PM)
*She sighed a bit, settling Cat back down and rubbing his furry head*
Nathaniel Steele (Mar 29, 2011 11:54:51 PM)
It's a highly specialized type of Telepathy, best I can tell. *as he hobbles back with coffee for himself and sweat tea for Friday*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Mar 29, 2011 11:57:56 PM)
A simple nod. "Might be.. I dunno. We're all different, ...in my opinion, what holds us together is the fact we can be weird and the others won't freak out over it."
