Charlene Langlois (Apr 2, 2011 2:36:00 AM)
Having called Charles earlier in the day, Charlene had gone shopping for the simple things she wante to cook for their supper. The kinfolk already had the BBQ heated, the rosemary red potatos, mac salad and corn cobs were already made and set on the tiny little bistro table she used for her tiny backyard. The house itself was fairly non-discript, a small 2bdrm pre-fab that had been inherited by her father who now lived elsewhere. The furnishings were modest but comfortable, something perhaps one might find in a cabin they rented from an online sight for the weekend. She was dressed simply, a light white blouse with pretty opal buttons up the front and a loose ankle length skirt of pale blue. The front door was slight ajar when Charles arrived, the aroma of fresh vegetables cooked drifting in the air.
Charlene Langlois (Apr 2, 2011 2:41:46 AM)
The inside of the house was open concept except of course the bedrooms and bathroom being rooms by themselves. Stepping in one could see everything else, including the sliding glass door leading to the backyyard which was open. He could see Charlene outside, putting the steaks on the BBQ after seasoning them with herbs from her little garden that ran the length of the end of the yard before it met forest.
Charles Lamareux (Apr 2, 2011 2:45:35 AM)
*Charles wandered up the sidewalk, staff thunking along with his footsteps as he came to the kinfolks house. His right hand was held outstretched as he stopped, a smooth tear drop shaped stone dangling from a string he held. He smirked as he looked from it to the house before pocketing it, making for the front door. He laughed and shook his head as he knocked, thankful for the late hour and relative emptyness of the streets. He wore a pair of black jeans and a black, pinstriped shirt. He smirked as he looked over to the yard and spotted Charlene there, he looked from her to the door, wondering how he missed her, chuckling again he waved to her and made his way to the fence, which he leant on once reached* Evening
Charlene Langlois (Apr 2, 2011 2:49:15 AM)
"Hey!" Charlene giving Charles a bright smile as she spotted him, closing the lid to the BBQ to let the steaks cook awhile before needing to flip them over. "Come on in..." Stepping lightly over to him, she took his hand and led the garou into the yard, motioning to one of the two wraught iron bistro chairs incase he wished to sit. "Glad you could make it. I hope you like steak?" Quirking her mouth to one side as she asked the question. "I probably should have asked you on the phone but truth be told, I had already purchased them." Squinting in guilt before she chuckled.
Charles Lamareux (Apr 2, 2011 2:52:58 AM)
*he nodded* Steak is awesome *he smirked and looked around the yard* It really looks nice, smells that way too...*he looked around the yard, wandering away toward a wall of the house where he propped the walking stick. He turned back around, smiling* Its a good thing you invited a seer to dinner...*he looked away guiltily* I forgot your address *he laughed*
Charlene Langlois (Apr 2, 2011 2:57:58 AM)
She laughed though he could tell Charlene had done so more because he meant to be funny then truly finding it so. What came next was the obvious reason as to why. "Truth be told, I don't know much of anything when it comes to all this...stuff. I only found out maybe nine months ago about any of it." Stepping through the open sliding glass door, the kinfolk moved into the kitchen long enough to fetch some Sun tea which was in a large glass pitcher with thinly sliced pieces of lemon inside it and two glasses. She brought it outside, placing it on the table with the veggies that were being kept warm in their tinfoil wraps. "Any of them would tell you Im naive when it comes to that stuff but thats ok, I keep myself busy with other things." Smiling to him as she poured them both a glass. "So what exactly does it mean to be a seer? Is the same thing as legend and myth speak of?"
Charles Lamareux (Apr 2, 2011 3:05:40 AM)
*he took a seat in one of the bistro chairs, smiling at the kinfolk before taking a sip of tea* Thank you...*he thought the question over, setting his drink down as he did so, simultaneously withdrawing the stone and string from his pocket, which he dangled, wrapped about a finger. He watched the pendulous movement of it for a moment before looking back at charlene* Well...we are the shamans of the garou, we speak to the spirits, form pacts, obtain information...all of that *he smirked* We also are commonly the healers of our people *he shrugged* I myself seemed to have the power before i even knew what i was, my mother called me a traiteurs, a holy healer *he chuckled* Spirits work strangely, same goes for the spirits of healing, who seem to have taken a liking to me *he sighed* We also act like the priests of our people you could say...we have to make sure the garou stay reverant of the spirits we deal with so often
Charlene Langlois (Apr 2, 2011 3:09:23 AM)
"Though I have no special gifts to speak of, I to am a healer. Its really been most of my life. My mother had a hospice so..." Nodding, she shrugged the rest of her story off, not wishing to bore the garou with it. "When did you know you had the ability to heal? What happened?" Curious, she pulled the other chair closer to Charles, sitting down with her tea in both hands, as she leaned forward to listen.
Charles Lamareux (Apr 2, 2011 3:12:39 AM)
*he smirked* Our neighbors in town here...they had a little boy *he sighed* One day i snuck outside and was by the shed, smoking a joint *he laughed* I must have been 16? Maybe? *he frowned* I nearly finished the thing when i heard a loud thump and the squealing of tires...i looked out to the road from behind the shed...can you guess what i saw laying in the road *he smiled faintly at Charlene*
Charlene Langlois (Apr 2, 2011 3:15:26 AM)
The kinfolk went alittle slack jawwed, knowing of course what he was getting at. "Oh thats awful." Whincing at the thought, she nodded in gesture for him to go on. While he did, Charlene got up and moved back to the BBQ, opening it to turn the steaks over so that the low heat could cook the other side to a pefect medium-well. Once done, she took up the chair again to listen.
Charles Lamareux (Apr 2, 2011 3:23:05 AM)
Well...yea *he smirked* I disposed of my evidence before i ran out to help the kid, he was about seven or eight i think...*he frowned* I had taken some first aid courses, cpr, all that stuff...i could tell there was nothing for him, he got hit dead on *he sighed* I had played catch with the kid, messed around with hot wheels and stuff while i watched him for his parents from time to time...*he shook his head* It just couldnt be you know? *he looked to charlene, then back to the pendulum* I ran to him and knelt in the road, cradling the kid...i prayed to the god i knew then, i dont even remember what i said...all i knew was the boys suffering was in my words, and myself *he smirked* I felt his pain, and as i spoke my words were his wounds, and they were stitching themselves together...I cant explain it any other way...i found out later it was a form of the spiritual gift of healing i posess now...all it was was a miracle then...*he smirked* The kids chest uncrushed itself, his ribs reformed, punctured lung hea
Charles Lamareux (Apr 2, 2011 3:23:12 AM)
(DAMNIT!)
Charlene Langlois (Apr 2, 2011 3:23:23 AM)
[I hate that too!]
Charles Lamareux (Apr 2, 2011 3:24:24 AM)
punctured lung healed itself, hemmhoraged liver un-hemmhoraged. *he laughed* The kid actually ran back to his house by his own strength, right into his crying mothers arms *he shrugged* and that was that...
Charlene Langlois (Apr 2, 2011 3:29:18 AM)
She was covering her mouth by the end of Charles story, shaking her head. "Thats incredible. I wish... I wish I could do that. Things would have been so different..." The kinfolk thinking a loud a moment. "And now here you are.. You really should take your talent to the streets. Theres so many who could benefit from your gift." Nodding as she spoke, having seen first hand the turmoil of so many the system would rather forget existed. "Oh... the steaks.." Rising up, she fetched them from the BBQ, putting the two hunks of meat upon a plate to bring over to the table once the grill was turned off. "Seers.. do they also have visions?"
Charles Lamareux (Apr 2, 2011 3:34:00 AM)
Wish i could just give it to everyone...but spiritual power comes at a cost, sadly. *he sighed* Ive had odd, prophetic sort of dreams, nothing major, just things i dream about end up occurring sometimes...probably more than i notice *he shrugged, smiling* Thats the thing about prophecies, rarely are the who and where even thought of by whoever thinks of them, alot of times they can be of places during times it would be impossible for you to attend...*he smirked*...at least i have theorized, dont take that as fact *he watched her turn the steaks curiously, and watched their progress from the grill, smiling*
Charlene Langlois (Apr 2, 2011 3:35:16 AM)
[Steaks have been put on the table lol]
Charles Lamareux (Apr 2, 2011 3:36:30 AM)
(*nod nod* hes watching charlene carry em over)
Charlene Langlois (Apr 2, 2011 3:38:25 AM)
"Well lets hope you dreamed of steaks that were good and filling hmm?" Smiling to Charles before she began making her plate, letting the garou make his own. When the kinfolk unwrapped the rest of the things upon the table, he could see she'd made plenty, enough for a few more people simply because she had no idea what Charles appetite would be like but hearing from several other garou about how their significant others had to cook huge meals, she got the impression garou ate quite a bit more then the average joe. "Do you ever see things regarding your own future?"
Charles Lamareux (Apr 2, 2011 3:50:28 AM)
*he made up his plate slowly, passing over the salad he loaded up on potatos and vegeables, smirking at charlene* It looks really good...*he shrugged at the question, cutting into the steak, saying* I had a dream i would return here...saw myself buying the plane tickets online, strangely enough. He laughed...this was the night me and my guild took down Putricide on heroic, which oddly enough, i prophecised as well *he smirked at the kin and took a bite of the steak, and smiled wider* Nom...its good
Charlene Langlois (Apr 2, 2011 3:57:50 AM)
The kinfolk appeared to get lost at the mention of guild and Putricide on heroic but never questioned it, merely nodded. "My mother sees things. All the time. She looks at it as a curse rather then a blessing and I guess.. I guess I can understand why. There are some things you're just better off not knowing." Despite her petite frame Charlene seemed to have quite the appetite herself, as if eating such a meal was foreign to the flaxen haired creature who was now thoroughly enjoying the food, humming absently while she chewed. "Im glad you like it. Im not really much of a cook. Well.. not like this. I..Im really good at bushmen cooking." Covering her mouth with one hand as she spoke with a mouthful of potato and laughed at herself for doing so. "So how come you have no woman in your life? You seem likeable and you're not like most of the garou with all their macho posturing, which can get quite dull sometimes."
Charles Lamareux (Apr 2, 2011 4:05:32 AM)
*he laughed and took a bite of some potato, smiling all the while, he swallowed then looked from his plate to charlene* Im not sure really...maybe im boring? *he smirked* Maybe dating someone who talks to spirits daily is wierd *he shrugged, smirking* One of my exes called me condescending, unattentive...*he sighed* this wasnt long after my first change...i was learning alot, she was well, just old news, i was caught up in it all, balancing that new life with the old got hard.
Charlene Langlois (Apr 2, 2011 4:10:27 AM)
Charlene gave a raspy, brief laugh. "Yeah, kinda going through that right now. Obviously not to the extent you had but having been tucked away from all this my whole life up until last year, there is definitely an adjustment period. Everything just seemed like a sudden train wreck thrown before me that I had to sort through alone and make what I could of it." Washing her pallette with a long drink of the Sun tea. "Well Im sure the others will be on you about a mate in no time at all. I didnt quite understand all the rushing to have a mate many do until recently. I guess with the life expectancy of most garou it makes sense to some." Pausing to take a bite of her corn cob. "I guess thats why I was surprised you had none."
Charles Lamareux (Apr 2, 2011 4:14:31 AM)
Im here if you have any questions about it all, it can get confusing at certain bits*He smiled at her then dipped down and chipped at his plate some, he took a sip of tea and smiled to Charlene*But what about you? What have you been waiting for? *he chuckled*
Charlene Langlois (Apr 2, 2011 4:18:57 AM)
Charlene paused a short while before answering. "I was sick actually. Had been for a couple years." Swallowing her food down, she continued. "Which of course cut right into my teens when I guess most people date but even then I doubt I would have." Chuckling, the kinfolk raised her glass to her mouth to take a sip. "Not exactly a whole lot of boys to choose from out in the bush of South Africa." Giving him a soft smile. "Anyway, my mother sent me here thinking my father would help, theyre not together, and he did nothing but avoid me like the plague so I made due alone, found my way alone and someone to curse me and well, here I am.."
Charlene Langlois (Apr 2, 2011 4:22:08 AM)
[cure me* lol Whoops]
Charles Lamareux (Apr 2, 2011 4:24:58 AM)
Sick? How? *he asked, drinking some more tea, then nomming at the potatos happily. He looked up at her and smiled, taking another drink of tea* This is good stuff Char...*he smirked at her* Red potatos are my favorite *he looked down at his plate, thinking about something, then back up and around the yard, he then focused on charlene, his head tilting to the side* Hmm...i like you...
Charlene Langlois (Apr 2, 2011 4:30:48 AM)
Still chewing, Charlene looked up from her meal at Charles last words. "I like you too." Feeling the heat rising to her cheeks, the kinfolk looked away and chuckled, not quite sure what the garou meant by the comment but knowing exactly what she did. Her eyes darted around the yard as that urge to clarify was faught back and once Charlene had succeeded in keeping herself in check, she spoke. "But um, sick? HIV though uh, I didn't catch it by.. you know. Havent so.. no I um, caught it off a patient in my mothers care. Accidently jabbed myself with a needle right in the chest when I almost dropped it and fumbled to catch it."
Charles Lamareux (Apr 2, 2011 4:37:33 AM)
*he smiled* Who cured that? I would very much like to meet whoever they are *he looked her over, smiling* Thats no easy feat, the healing i can perform cannot fix that *he seemed to be thinking, taking sips of his tea, eyes scanning the yard with curiosity, moving along the trees*
Charlene Langlois (Apr 2, 2011 4:45:28 AM)
"She goes by the name 'Tears of Joy' but she is not from here I dont think. We had to travel quite far up north.. It all seems so much like dream you know? And I was so sick during the whole ordeal from catching cold due to the climate change of winter here versus where we went." Once theyd both finished their plates, Charlene rose to remove them and bring them inside to rinse off for washing later. "Andy is good friends with the woman I believe. You may wish to speak to him about it. He was there for most of it." Calling out to him before returning. She began clearing off the table, bringing everything inside but the kinfolk noticed Charles looking around the yard and smiled. "Was my fathers house originally. The forest back there he owns for about 4 more acres until it becomes state property."
Charles Lamareux (Apr 2, 2011 4:53:25 AM)
*The theurge rose from the table and looked up at the sky, listening to the story. When Charlene returned from inside he smiled wide* Dinner was really good...*he looked to the woods, nodding* So, what do we do now?*he chuckled* Did you have anything in mind?
Charlene Langlois (Apr 2, 2011 4:56:44 AM)
She thanked him for the compliment, following Charles gaze up to the night sky. "I dont know. I hadn't really.. thought that far." Breaking out into a soft, musical laugh, Charlene suddenly feeling silly. "We could walk if you like? I could get the lantern out of the closet so we could see or we could go sit inside and talk? I dont have a TV but I do have a stereo for music." Turning to face him, she smiled, feeling the ease he somehow always brought to her whenever she happened to gaze upon him. "I leave it up to you."
Charlene Langlois (Apr 2, 2011 5:07:51 AM)

Charles Lamareux (Apr 2, 2011 5:08:42 AM)

Charlene Langlois (Apr 2, 2011 5:08:58 AM)
[Say something next time ok? Please.]
Charles Lamareux (Apr 2, 2011 5:09:23 AM)
(sorry about that, went downstairs and my roommate had made food)
Charlene Langlois (Apr 2, 2011 5:09:39 AM)
[Did you want to wrap it up and go or?]
Charles Lamareux (Apr 2, 2011 5:10:31 AM)
(i should probably get to sleep soonish, i guess we can wind down)
Charlene Langlois (Apr 2, 2011 5:10:52 AM)
