Session Start: Fri Feb 08 18:34:45 2002
* HappyLittleMoron sits in front of the fire place, listening to Brenna tell her about her dream
* AriaStormsinger has discovered television
* AriaStormsinger sits, twiddling with her blue hair, in a silk shirt and a skirt that looks suspiciously like a curtain, enthralled by CNN
* Brenna ooooohhhhhhs...getting distracted and toddling over to Aria to watch TV with her...Brenna's a little two year old girl with black hair tinted with electric blue, save for two streaks of strawberry blond framing her face...curiouse ice blue eyes*
<AriaStormsinger> Hello Brenna. :)
<AriaStormsinger> Look, the news anchor is talking about politicians pleading the fifth amendment.
* Brenna looks up at Aria, then stands and curtsies*
<AriaStormsinger> It's called democracy.
<HappyLittleMoron> *Brenna blinkblinks* De...moc...racy?
* AriaStormsinger lifts her finger and poonks Brenna's nose
<AriaStormsinger> You got it!
<AriaStormsinger> It's not found everywhere in the world.
* Brenna eeps and sneezes, wrinkling her nose*
<AriaStormsinger> People in THIS country can do this, because of democracy:
* AriaStormsinger picks up Brenna and swings her around while singing the Russian national anthem and flashing the peace sign
* Brenna looks confused at Aria, just nodding a lil'...then giggles* Wheeeeeeee!
* AriaStormsinger sets her down near the TV
* AriaStormsinger stands in front of the fire, watching HLM
* HappyLittleMoron blinks, looking up at Aria with thoughtful eyes...
* Brenna's curled up, purring lightly as she dozes*
* AriaStormsinger approaches, walking this time
<AriaStormsinger> Aitch, will you tell me again about this place you've built?
<HappyLittleMoron> ..uhh...sure? 'Sup?
* HappyLittleMoron tilts her head at Aria
* AriaStormsinger kneels at HLM's side, holds head briefly
<AriaStormsinger> I believe I had what is called a dream, last night
<HappyLittleMoron> Uh huh...?
<AriaStormsinger> I remember a voice coming out of a golden light <saying: Attention KMart shoppers, GUs are on sale in aisle 3> and it told me, This is the place you were sent for
* HappyLittleMoron nods a lil'...
<AriaStormsinger> But...I do not undestand...why. Or who it was that sent me.
<HappyLittleMoron> Well...maybe...the dream's just telling you this is a good place to be your home...?
* AriaStormsinger shakes head
<AriaStormsinger> Maybe...I don't have the right words
<AriaStormsinger> But what I felt from the voice was--this was a place I was sent FOR, to help? somehow
<AriaStormsinger> tell me again why you built this place
<HappyLittleMoron> Well...ah...*bllinks as Brenna toddles back over to curl up at her side, the little girl's soft purr startiing the two little ones in her mom purring* It's a place that's meant to serve as a safe place for mutants and other creatures.....people...whatever who otherwise wouldn't have a place to escape from the humans...
<AriaStormsinger> I see
<AriaStormsinger> You were one of those who had no place to hide?
* HappyLittleMoron nods* Yeah...for a long long time...
* AriaStormsinger brushes a hair off HLM's face, smiling
<AriaStormsinger> You survived.
<AriaStormsinger> And give much good to others, remembering yoru trials.
<HappyLittleMoron> Yeah...*grins a lil'* Was tought hough...
<HappyLittleMoron> I..yeah...I guess...I try anyway...
* AriaStormsinger laughs
* AriaStormsinger gestures. This world would do well to have others "try" as you do
* HappyLittleMoron laughs softly* Thanks..
<AriaStormsinger> You know, HLM, these books, these people on the television box, the men where I came from. why do they hurt those who do not join them?
<AriaStormsinger> perhaps joining would be better
<HappyLittleMoron> Well...they don't like not having control...
<HappyLittleMoron> Joining would probably be a bad idea because they'd try making you do things you don't want to...or hurt you very badly...or both
* AriaStormsinger nods thoughtfully
* AriaStormsinger shudders
* AriaStormsinger shrinks a little. I know.
* HappyLittleMoron reaches over to lightly pat her shoulder* Yeah...
<AriaStormsinger> I can't help thinking, if I was meant to come HERE, yet I was found far away...there must have been a reason
<HappyLittleMoron> Well...there might be one...destiny or something...
<AriaStormsinger> How did you learn your destiny?
<HappyLittleMoron> Well...it...just kinda happens...
* HappyLittleMoron shrugs* Y' can't see it coming...I don't even know if it's real...it's just...life happens...
* AriaStormsinger smiles and gives your tummy a look
<AriaStormsinger> And sometimes, lives!
* HappyLittleMoron laughs and nods* Yep! *strokes Brenna's hair* Something else I thought would never happen...
* AriaStormsinger smiles.
<AriaStormsinger> It's good to hear your laugh!
* AriaStormsinger hums
<HappyLittleMoron> Thanks...*grins a lil'* Devnet showed up last night...through one of Klork's portals...and Brenna had a dreammm where she saw her dad and Auntie Diana, so...I'm feeling a little mroe hope...
<AriaStormsinger> Little Brenna butterfly/floating on the breeze so high/will you tell your motherby/how to laugh a lullabye?
* AriaStormsinger cocks head. That is wonderful news!
* HappyLittleMoron chuckles very softly and nods, sobering a little* Yeah...I...just hope those two are ggonna be able to escape...or be rescued...or whatever...just so they get someplace safe...
<AriaStormsinger> They will find their way. And they are trusting you to keep this place a haven for them, and for all who share it.
* AriaStormsinger squeezes your hand
<AriaStormsinger> I think they have placed their faith well.
* HappyLittleMoron nods and squeezes back, a grin curving her lips* Thanks...I'm doing my best..
<AriaStormsinger> yum
* AriaStormsinger grew skin!! shows off hands and face
* HappyLittleMoron grins* That's great news
<AriaStormsinger> yeppers
<AriaStormsinger> I can touch people...and be touched...without my skin coming away
<AriaStormsinger> It really hurt when Tom and Pete found me
* AriaStormsinger shivers
<AriaStormsinger> They didn't mean to
* HappyLittleMoron nods..* You needed to toughen up I guess...
<AriaStormsinger> I read that caterpillars go into chrysalis to become butterflies
<AriaStormsinger> do you think I woudl have turned into a butterfly if they hadn't cracked me free?
* AriaStormsinger tickles Brenna's feet
* Brenna blinks and giggles, grabbing at Aria's fingers*
* AriaStormsinger kisses her fingers
<HappyLittleMoron> I don't think so...*chuckles softly*
<HappyLittleMoron> You might have come out looking the way you do now...
* Brenna purrs softly*
* AriaStormsinger purrs in imitation
* Brenna blinkblinks and giggles, rubbing her mom's belly, getting the little ones in there purring too...actually louder than Brenna's*
<AriaStormsinger> ooh
<AriaStormsinger> does that tickle you, HLM?
<HappyLittleMoron> It did when it first happened...I'm kinda used to it now *grins softly*
<AriaStormsinger> how long before they hatch?
* HappyLittleMoron chuckles* You mean are born...?
<AriaStormsinger> erm, yes
<HappyLittleMoron> Just over seven months if all goes well..
* AriaStormsinger sits up suddenly
<AriaStormsinger> Ex...excuse me, Aitch...
* HappyLittleMoron blinks
<HappyLittleMoron> ...ok
* AriaStormsinger starts up, heads for the wall with the fireplace, pauses
* AriaStormsinger hurries out in the other direction,
* HappyLittleMoron watches bewilderdly
<AriaStormsinger> Peeeete!?
<AriaStormsinger> *you hear the front door open
*later...had to stop that RP for some reason, this next part is in Underhill*

<Shingami> we can stay the rest of the night here. the orc patrol will leave before dawn.. they cant survive in the light...

* Syan leans into her hand, watching...a worried expression seeming to cross his face*
