* Daibheid is a 10'5 Anthro Dragon, white with a faint taint of blue on his scales, all he wears is a Tunic type dress
* Calantha grumbles as she realizes it's still daytime, but hauls herself out of bed anyway...
* Calantha opens her door, looking out into the hall and seeing no one, so she makes her way down to the kitchen for something to eat
* Daibheid looks at Calantha "hello"
* Calantha rubs her face tiredly, brushing some of her somewhat messy hair out of her face
<Calantha> ..hey
* Daibheid gives her a large toothy grin
* Calantha blinks, then shakes her head as if to clear it

*after a bit*
* ^Monisima^ jumps down the stairs
* ^Monisima^ runs into the kitchen...raiding the fridge
* AriaStormsinger comes in behind Moni.
<AriaStormsinger> Hi.
* ^Monisima^ looks back at Aria....
* AriaStormsinger smiles and peels an orange.
* AriaStormsinger offers Moni half.
* ^Monisima^ takes it...smiles...bites into it
<AriaStormsinger> My name's Aria. You live here, too?
* ``Mitch 's immersed in the book, devouring each paragraph and diagram like it was a matter of life and death
* ^Monisima^ ...shrugs
* AriaStormsinger finishes her half and looks at Monisima.
<AriaStormsinger> *looks curiously, I meant* What's your name?
<^Monisima^> .....*looks around for something*
* AriaStormsinger ties her orange peel into a knot.
* ^Monisima^ finishes off her orange....walks away....looking for that pad and pencil
* AriaStormsinger watches her go, puts her chin down on her folded arms. *looks grumpy*
<AriaStormsinger> .o0(Brenna... I wonder if she's sleeping already.)
* ^Monisima^ goes out to the livingroom....finds the pad and pencil...runs back to the kitchen
* AriaStormsinger glances up at Moni as she comes in again.
<AriaStormsinger> Hi again.
* ^Monisima^ holds up the pad...her name writen on it
<AriaStormsinger> Monisima?
* AriaStormsinger looks confused.
* ^Monisima^ nods
* AriaStormsinger blinks. "That's your name?"
* ^Monisima^ nods...
* AriaStormsinger 's face clears. <ah the miracles of Acne cream> Can you talk?
<^Monisima^> .....*shakes her head*
<AriaStormsinger> Okay. I'm sorry, have you been tryign to talk to me here? *points to her head*
<AriaStormsinger> I've got something blocking me there *scowls*
<^Monisima^> ....*shakes her head*
<AriaStormsinger> Okay. Hey, were you the one tapping the TV last night before we headed...um, headed out?
* AriaStormsinger shrugs off the memory of the church again.
* ^Monisima^ nods
<AriaStormsinger> Did you figure out how it works?
* ^Monisima^ shakes her head
<AriaStormsinger> Come on, I can show you!
* AriaStormsinger offers a hand, hopping to her feet.
* ^Monisima^ looks at your hand
* AriaStormsinger leans over, giggling, and takes Moni's hand with hers. "Come on!"
* AriaStormsinger leads her gently to the kitchen.
* ^Monisima^ blinks and follows
* AriaStormsinger leads Moni around the kitchen table and then out to the living room.
* ^Monisima^ just follows...
* AriaStormsinger plunks down in front of the TV.
<AriaStormsinger> "Hi Mitch!"
* AriaStormsinger pushes the power button on the panel. "See?"
* ^Monisima^ sits down
* ^Monisima^ nods...
<AriaStormsinger> *It's Teletubbies time!*
* ``Mitch doesn't respond, totally ensnared by the seductive lure of the oscilloscope
<AriaStormsinger> Want to change what's on the TV, Monisima?
* ^Monisima^ nods
* OikawaNishimaru walks out of his room and heads to the roof
* HappyLittleMoron , if she were about a foot taller, would have the perfect emaciated model's figure>
* AriaStormsinger takes Monisima's hand and gently presses it to one of the channel changing buttons. *watches the picture change*
* ^Monisima^ watches it change..presses the button again
* AriaStormsinger sits back happily.
* ^Monisima^ keeps pressing it
<AriaStormsinger> Wait! Wait a second, go back!
* AriaStormsinger leans forward and shows her how
* ^Monisima^ watches
<AriaStormsinger> There. *points out a girl with dark braids and a gorgeous outfit on Walker, Texas Ranger*
<AriaStormsinger> I want to do that with my hair. Mitch?
* ``Mitch 's learning physics.
* AriaStormsinger scowls at Mitch. "Monisima? Do you know how to do that?"
* ^Monisima^ ....shrugs
* OikawaNishimaru is still on the roof
* ``Mitch is seriously just out of it - it's pretty obvious someone's going to need to get his attention more directly
* ^Monisima^ keeps watching tv
* Calantha steps out of the shower in her room, drying off and slipping into clothes that actually fit
* ^Monisima^ starts surfing again
* Calantha brushes out her hair and steps out of her room, looking around for signs of chaos
* AriaStormsinger lays a hand on Monisima.
* remarkably, the Asylum appears to be chaos-free... so far*
* ^Monisima^ looks at Aria
<AriaStormsinger> Killer Tomoatoes? I think I'll pass on this one...
<AriaStormsinger> See you in a bit?
* a squirrel purches on the window and looks into the asylum*
* ^Monisima^ shrugs...
* AriaStormsinger sends Moni some happy vibes briefly, then heads upstairs, grinning to herself.
* AriaStormsinger sees Calantha not far from Brenna's room.
<AriaStormsinger> .o0(People still around...maybe later.)
<AriaStormsinger> Um. Hi!
* ^Monisima^ goes back to channel surfing
<Calantha> Heya.. whassup?
<Calantha> .oO(Who's this chick again?)
<AriaStormsinger> Not much. Do you know how to make hair look all twisty and tied up like ropes?
<Calantha> Actually I do, why?
* AriaStormsinger 's eyes light up.
<AriaStormsinger> I want my hair to look like that!
<Calantha> A few big ones, or a lot of little ones?
* OikawaNishimaru looks up at the sky from the roof
<AriaStormsinger> Oooh. Um. Big ones?
<Calantha> Ok.. well, let's go do some hair, then! *grins a bit*
* AriaStormsinger radiates happiness.
<Calantha> Lead the way... uh.. what was your name, again?
<AriaStormsinger> My name's Aria! What's yours?
<Calantha> Cala
<AriaStormsinger> Cala. That's pretty.
<Calantha> Thanks.. it's actually Calantha, but Cala's fine.
<AriaStormsinger> Mine's just Aria. Hmm... Arianalathasuphameladata....
<AriaStormsinger> *trails off in polysyllables*
<AriaStormsinger> Where should we go to play with hair?
<Calantha> Uh.. We can do it in my room, I guess. Go grab your hairbrush.
<AriaStormsinger> Hair...brush?
<AriaStormsinger> Um. Right. I'll be right back.
<AriaStormsinger> .o0(Hairbrush. I know what those are, I saw one on TV)
<AriaStormsinger> I've been here for...let's see...
<AriaStormsinger> A month and a half?
<Calantha> Wow.. that's longer than I've been a gecko.
<AriaStormsinger> What's it feel like?
<AriaStormsinger> Did it hurt?
<Calantha> Nah.. I wasn't awake when they actually mutated me or whatever.. They had me all passed out.
<AriaStormsinger> They? You didn't just change on your own?
<AriaStormsinger> *concerned*
<Calantha> No.. I was roped in by this company.. signed up for a research project to make some money.. and this is what I got.
<AriaStormsinger> Oh...wow...
<AriaStormsinger> Did you get the money?
* ^Monisima^ goes over to Mitch....looks at his book..still has the tv up loud w/ the disco music
* ``Mitch is used to tuning out gunfire and sirens while fiddling with tiny instruments... Stayin' Alive pales in comparison
* ^Monisima^ leans over the book...
<Calantha> Nope.. heh.. no money. Sucks, don't it?
* ``Mitch mutters something as the light is blocked, and reaches up without looking to adjust the lamp - his hand whaps Moni lightly, and he blinks, looking up. "Oh! Christ, Moni, I'm sorry..."
* ^Monisima^ blinks....puts her hand to her face...
<``Mitch> "You okay? I didn't see you there- I just... hell..."
* ^Monisima^ nods and steps back
<``Mitch> "How're things going? Did you get to talk to someone in charge?"
* ^Monisima^ sweatdrops...
* ^Monisima^ shakes her head
<AriaStormsinger> No money? Gee.
<AriaStormsinger> Me either.
<AriaStormsinger> People keep buying me things, but...
<AriaStormsinger> I think I'd like to be able to buy them something in return.
<Calantha> Got a friend from back home to wire me some cash today, which is how I got these *gestures to her clothes*
<AriaStormsinger> Nice! Did you get squooshers, too?
<Calantha> I lost my backpacks with all my stuff in it when those creeps chased me up the fire escape.
<``Mitch> He rubs his chin, glancing up at the stairs. "I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Mrs. Happy's, y'know, VERY pregnant."
<Calantha> Heh.. nope. Ya think I need 'em? *she most definitely does not*
* AriaStormsinger shakes her head.
<AriaStormsinger> Oops. Sorry. Did I mess up what you're doing?
<Calantha> Nope. Just got one last one to tie off.
* ^Monisima^ cocks her head to the side....never even seeing HLM
* Calantha fixes it a bit, then ties it off, having made six equal ropes.
* AriaStormsinger reaches up to feel...
<AriaStormsinger> Oooooh.....
* AriaStormsinger hops up and spins, feeling the braids swing and hit her gently.
* Klork comes down the stairs, mumbling amid coughs
<AriaStormsinger> How do they look?
<``Mitch> "She's the one you're really gonna have to speak to eventually." He glances over. "He'll do, though... if he's feeling okay..."
* ^Monisima^ points at Klork
<Calantha> Well, I think they look great, but I'm afraid I may be biased.
* Calantha smirks
<``Mitch> "Yeah - him. His name's Klork, he's... Mr. Happy."
<^Monisima^> ....*lowers her head*
* AriaStormsinger claps her hand.
* Klork blinks, looking up, rubbing his brow
<Klork> Heh..?
<``Mitch> "I know, you had a rough first meeting. Just give it a shot, huh?"
* Klork coughs...basically has a nasty headcold, but is otherwise ok. Just sounds really damng congested
* ^Monisima^ looks up..turns to Klork...goes over to him
* Klork blinks, looking up in mid-temple rub* Hnm??
* ^Monisima^ pulls a paper from her pocket that she wrote for HLM...gives it to Klork
* Klork blinks, taking it and turning it over in his hands* Whasis..?
* AriaStormsinger runs her fingers down her braids
* the paper asks about rent and stuff like that..words spelled how they sound...and kinda messy*
<AriaStormsinger> Thank you, Cala. They're just right.
<Calantha> No prob.
* HappyLittleMoron 's upstairs resting, FYI...uhm...yeah...pregnancy's getting rougher and rougher as time moves on
* Klork nods, reading* Rent's 150 a month ... you need a room, right?
* Calantha puts the hair stuff away, keeping a scrunchie on her wrist for when she feels like putting her hair up
<AriaStormsinger> Here, I can't pay you, but I can make you feel really good for a little while!
* ^Monisima^ points upstairs
* Klork looks up, then nods
<Klork> A'right .. you can write your signature ... right?
<Calantha> Heh.. it's cool. Friends do each other's hair, right? So no big deal.
* ^Monisima^ nods
<AriaStormsinger> Yep. But this is no big deal either!
* AriaStormsinger grins and holds up a hand that's now glowing blue
* AriaStormsinger turns it palm upward like she's offering a tray of fine wine
<Calantha> .oO(What the heck is she doing?)
<Klork> A'right..over here...*waves her towards the desk..fumbling around with it befre figuring out how to open the drawer* Yeesh..
* HappyLittleMoron finally decides to come downstairs, looking very tired, holding her hands over her belly, blinking a lil' at the action..
<Klork> <quietly, to himself> How does she get this desk open so easily..??
* ^Monisima^ walks over to it..watching him...
* AriaStormsinger sends the blue over Cala -- *and if she's not like Diana, she'll start to feel pretty darn good and happy --
* Klork pulls out the book, waving at HLM
<Klork> New res, Mo' *smriks* Er..you wanna do this?? I'm kinda .. iffy with it..
* HappyLittleMoron heads over and waves back* Sure...
* Klork motions to HLM from Monisima* This is my wife .. she co-owns the place ...HLM? This is Monisima..Monisima, right? *looks at Moni*
* ^Monisima^ looks at HLM...
* HappyLittleMoron kisses his cheek and pulls the chair over* Heya...*sits down, looking a little dizzy*
* Klork rubs at HLM's shoulders, motioning for Moni to pay attention to HLM n' not him now
<HappyLittleMoron> Just need ya ta sign here, Monisima...*offers a pen* Pull your own weight...keep fighting to a dull roar...and respect others' privacy...those're our only rules...sound good?
* Calantha smiles
<Calantha> Heh.. that's kinda cool
* AriaStormsinger grins at Cala.
<AriaStormsinger> Maybe I'll see you later!
<Calantha> Sure thing. I'll be here.. somewhere, anyway.
* AriaStormsinger heads out and hears the rules floating up from downstairs...
* AriaStormsinger also hears a cough from Klork...
<AriaStormsinger> *practicing selective deafness about the privacy bit, Aria heads for Brenna's room...*
* ^Monisima^ signs her name
* HappyLittleMoron takes out a key..
* ^Monisima^ holds up keys the Vert gave her....
* AriaStormsinger tries the door...
* HappyLittleMoron blinks, kinda confused* You already have a room key...?
* ``Mitch shrugs - like he knows
* ^Monisima^ nods
<HappyLittleMoron> Okie then...can I see the nnumber onit so I can put it by your name?
* ^Monisima^ gives the key to her
* HappyLittleMoron takes note of the number and stuff, then hands it back* Thanks...
* ^Monisima^ nods
* ^Monisima^ runs back over to Mitch
* HappyLittleMoron does the little paper work needed, then puts it all away...navigating the damn drawer easily before leaning back with a soft sigh
* ``Mitch watches the transaction with a half-smile, thumb keeping his place in the book
* Klork keeps rubbing at HLM's shoulders* How're you doing..?
* ^Monisima^ stands in front of him w/ an expectant look...
<HappyLittleMoron> I'm ok...tired.....*closes her eyes and grins a little* ...feels good...
<``Mitch> "Uh..." .oO(Okay...) "Congratulations?"
* Klork chuckles, continuing...* Goodgood..
* ^Monisima^ narrows her eyes....thinking...
* ^Monisima^ points to her key
<``Mitch> "Yeah - it's yours. You've got a home now." He smiles.
* ^Monisima^ shakes her head....
* Calantha curls up on her bed, writing in a notebook
* HappyLittleMoron grins* How you doin'?
<``Mitch> The smile fades a little. "Christ, girl, I don't know - what am I missing?"
* ^Monisima^ looks around...finds her pad, pick it up.... writing "got metel"...hands it to him....
* Klork smirks, still working at her shoulders* Not bad not bad...getting better progressively..
* ``Mitch flips the book closed, mentally preparing himself for another bout of twenty questions... "Do *I* have metal?"
* ^Monisima^ just looks at HLM and grins
* ^Monisima^ nods
<HappyLittleMoron> Oh now? *smirks* I wonder why...
<``Mitch> "Well... I got some, but I'd, y'know, rather it not be melted. It's in very USEFUL shapes the way it is. Do you want to find some metal?"
<AriaStormsinger> *Doorknob turns in Aria's hand.* *grins*
* Klork sits down beside HLM
<Klork> I gotta talk to you .. now ... why is Brenna so scared of Aria..?
* HappyLittleMoron shakes her head* I have no idea...*furrows her brow* Stacie was going nuts...and Aria was watching Brenna...next I knew Brenna was running away from her...I dropped what I was doing and got Brenna...Aria apparently doesn't remember what happened...and...well...you know how it is getting anythign from a two year old...
<HappyLittleMoron> What brings this up now...? *furrows her brows*
* Klork furrows his brow..
<Klork> Well, she tried to use magic .. her happy magic ya know? Last night to get Brenna to be more well..to like her ..
* ^Monisima^ nods
<Klork> and I know she's doin' it for a good cause .. but it still kinda freaked her out..
* HappyLittleMoron nods...then frowns* Yeah...I'd imagine it would..
<``Mitch> "Shit, where's..." He trails off, rubbing his neck and thinking. "How much are we talking about?"
* HappyLittleMoron sighs a little and runs a hand through her hair
* ^Monisima^ shrugs...writes "rent" on the pad
* AriaStormsinger slips into the room, listening for Brenna's breathing.
<AriaStormsinger> .o0(No one around? I know this'll work this time.)
* ``Mitch momentarily has evil thoughts concerning change machines and false coins, but pushes them out of his head... he stands, still thinking. "...I guess the best place would be the junkyard. There's gotta be good metal in there somewhere. Bike forks or something."
* Brenna's sleeping soundly in her crib..*
* ^Monisima^ nods...
* Klork furrows his brow..
<``Mitch> .oO(The owner's a street man. I can't be seen by him...)
<``Mitch> "Lemme get my jacket." .oO(On the plus side, I need a new belt anyway.)
* AriaStormsinger moves closer to teh crib, thinks for a moment, then moves out of the crib's sight lines behind furniture
* AriaStormsinger closes her eyes and starts casting happy glowies to Brenna's crib. *The room lights up a little, pale blue shadows everywhere
* Brenna starts whimpering in her sleep...escilating to a full cry...then quiets a little, opening her eyes and looking around confusedly*
<AriaStormsinger> .o0(Whoa. That's not good.)
* Klork blinks, looking up quietly ...* Did you hear that, Mo'?
* AriaStormsinger keeps going, humming a lullabye softly now, too.
* HappyLittleMoron nods, brows furrowing and standing slowly* Yeah...don't like how quickly she quieted.....
* Brenna giggles softly, curling up and sorta half-humming along*
<AriaStormsinger> That's right, Brenna. *hums again*
* ``Mitch heads upstairs and shrugs into his jacket, finding the baseball cap Shin gave him and tugging it on low. .oO(Gonna need... fuck, I'm cleaned out. I'll have to run it old-school.)
* Klork heads up the stairs slowly, brows furrowed
* HappyLittleMoron follows, running a hand along the wall to keep her balance
<AriaStormsinger> Good girl. Remember Aria? She's okay, she's a good friend. Just like you. Good girl. *hums*
* ^Monisima^ waits
* AriaStormsinger peeks around teh corner of the furniture
* ``Mitch comes downstairs with a sweatshirt. "I don't have a spare jacket, but it's cold as hell out there and this should help..."
* Brenna looks up at Aria and giggles softly*
<AriaStormsinger> *bursts into a smile* Yeah! That's it.
<AriaStormsinger> See? Aria. Aria sees Brenna! Cute lil' baby Brenna! *coos*
* phone rings*
* AriaStormsinger comes into full view, staying low the ground.
* Brenna claps her hands and laughs, little bit of confusion in the back of her eyes..*
* Evy walks in* hihihihihihihihihihihi, Wing-chan!
* AriaStormsinger sings a kid's song about the moon, keeping a little distance.
* Klork slowly presses the door open slowly..
* Phone is going balistic*
* Brenna stands up in her crib, singing along as best she can and smiling widely*
* AriaStormsinger keeps casting, not noticing the light from the door in the glow of her bluenessness
<AriaStormsinger> :)
* HappyLittleMoron blinks a little, noticing the light...
<`Wing`> *elsewhere* pick up already..
* Klork sighs shakily* {{See...there she goes again..}}
* HappyLittleMoron clenches her jaw...* {{...I really...really don't like this love...}}
* AriaStormsinger moves closer, singing the Teletubbies theme song
* Klork nods, brows furrowing...slowly going in* <vqw> Aria..
* AriaStormsinger jumps and spins around
<AriaStormsinger> .o0(Ohhhhhhhhhhh SPIT.)
* Brenna laughs*
* Klork furrows his brow* <q> Aria .. I told you...not with magic..
* AriaStormsinger glances from Klork to Brenna.
<AriaStormsinger> Ok, Brenna. *keeps casting, backing away and out of her line of sight.*
* Brenna claps her hands, singing softly to herself between giggles*
<AriaStormsinger> Just remember, Aria's a good person, right? *voice cracking a little*
* Klork sighs shakily* <q> Aria...
* AriaStormsinger glances back at Klork, slowly backing off her glow
* `Wing` hangs up leaning against the wall near the payphones
* Brenna smiles widely and nods...then blinking and slowly sinking as the glow wears off, HLM lifting the little girl from the crib*
<`Wing`> ill try back later...or maybe they all went out again.*goes to get cheep vendinmachene coffee*
* Klork heads out of the room, motioning for Aria to follow him
* AriaStormsinger looks over her shoulder at HLM and Brenna, guiltily, then scurries after him
* HappyLittleMoron shoots Aria dirty looks as she holds Brenna close, the little girl lookinggg around in confusion, then whimpering
<Brenna> Mama...wha'...?
* ``Mitch heads upstairs and shrugs into his jacket, finding the baseball cap Shin gave him and tugging it on low. .oO(Gonna need... fuck, I'm cleaned out. I'll have to run it old-school.)
* ``Mitch comes downstairs with a sweatshirt. "I don't have a spare jacket, but it's cold as hell out there and this should help..."
* HappyLittleMoron sighs a little and sits down with Brenna, holding her close
<Klork> <q> Aria .. I know that you're trying to do good..
* ^Monisima^ nods....goes up to the door
* Phone rings again*
* AriaStormsinger folds her arms and looks down...
* ``Mitch glances around and calls out, "Is someone gonna get that?!"
* Calantha sits on her bed, in a MUCH happier and CALM mood than her gamer
<Klork> <q> But seriously. You can't MAKE her like you...
<AriaStormsinger> I just DID.
<Klork> <q> Give her time, earn her trust normally ... magic isn't the way to do this..
<AriaStormsinger> I mean... I just did.
<Klork> <q> No .. you made her like you away from her free will, Aria...
* AriaStormsinger fights back tears.
<Klork> <q> It HAS to be her choice ..
* ^Monisima^ looks at Mitch....waiting..
<AriaStormsinger> It wasn't my free will that made her scared either!
* ``Mitch sighs... to Moni, "Hold on, I guess I should get it."
* Klork sighs, rubbing her shoulder gently
* ^Monisima^ leans on the door...
<Klork> <q> I know, Aria .. but please, just take my advice and give it time?
* ``Mitch walks over to the nearest phone (office?) and picks up... "Er, Asylum."
* Phone, like the toaster, is gettin pissy
* AriaStormsinger looks up in shock at his touch
<Klork> <q> Let her like you on her own...it has to work that way and no other way..
<AriaStormsinger> You-you're not going to kick me out?
<`Wing`> *sigh* finally.. Its Wing
* Klork sighs
<``Mitch> "Wing? Mitch - what's up?"
<Klork> <q> No ... I'm not going to kick you out .. I just want you to try and let her like you..normally..without powers, ok?
<`Wing`> Im at St. gabreal's Hospital ive been tryign to call home for a long time
* ^Monisima^ yawns....
<``Mitch> "Okay..."
* AriaStormsinger sighs.
<AriaStormsinger> Okay. But I think it worked already, anyway.
* Klork sighs..
* Evy* Who's on the phone, Mitch-onechan?
<Klork> If it didn't .. don't do it again, ok?
<`Wing`> There was an accident after what happend at the church... ive been here with Shin since lastnight. I jsut.. wanted to call home and let someone know where we are...
* Calantha writes in her notebook
<AriaStormsinger> Okaaay. *scuffs toe on carpet*
<``Mitch> "What the hell DID happen at the church? There was a three-way beatdown or something? Is Shin all right?"
* Klork pats her shoulder
* ^Monisima^ walks over to Mitch....
<Klork> I'm not mad, just..thank you, Aria..
* Evy walks in, looking around animatedly.
<Evy> Heeelllo, all? Did i miss anything important?

* ``Mitch glances over his shoulder, and his jaw just *DROPS*
* HappyLittleMoron sits in the darkened room, holding Brenna close as the little girl sleeps
<AriaStormsinger> What do, um...*waves around the hall* other people do, with these kinds of powers?
* ^Monisima^ blinks...
<``Mitch> "...jesus CHRIST in a motherfucking freak show..."
<^Monisima^> o.O

<Klork> Hmm..? Well..*blinks, then shrugs* It depends on the situation..

<Klork> Ah, gimme time to think of a decent answer on that, Aria...in the mean time .. why dont you think about what you would use your powers for??
<``Mitch> "Is she awake? Aware?"
* Evy smiles, looks behind her to make sure it's her he's staring at, and coughs shyly.
<AriaStormsinger> I...I am.
<`Wing`> aa.. i see.. look mitch please if Evy comes in tell her im ok..
<``Mitch> "Y- yeah, I will... uh, what's this Evy look like? I don't think I've met her."

* Klork heads back into their room, blinking at HLM
<Klork> <q> She ok..?
* Kameko blips in, stirring a pan of pasta
<`Wing`> her most distinguishing feature ebsides her eyes.. are her arms like yours..you can always ask her name the others shuld recognise her i really need to go
* HappyLittleMoron looks up at Klork, not looking overly happy, but nods* <q> Yeah...I got her back to sleep...she's very coonnfused...
* AriaStormsinger watches him go, then slips down with her back against the wall, head tilted back, to sit on the floor with a BIG sigh of relief.
<Kameko> Heh...dinner, anyone?
<``Mitch> "Okay... I think I got it... take care, watch her-"
<`Wing`> i will.. ja 8hangs yp8
* HappyLittleMoron and Klork and Brenna are up in their room...they'll make an appearance, no worries ;P
<`Wing`> *hangs up*
* Kameko blinks .. looking around when she gets no answer
* Klork sighs, smoothing Brenna's hair back..
* ``Mitch hangs up, and flicks off his glasses for a moment, staring myopically... .oO(...aura checks. I'm not hallucinating.)
<Kameko> Kaayyy....... um.... I'm .. just gonna head into the kitchen ...then..
* ``Mitch pushes them on slowly. "...Evy?"
<Klork> <q> I read Aria' the riot act..*sighs* She's understanding..
<Evy> *looks concerned* Um, who was that on the phone? Is everything okay?
* ^Monisima^ tugs on Mitch's sleeve...
<Evy> *smiles* That would be me!
<``Mitch> "Wing says to tell you he's okay."
* Kameko sighs, heading into the kitchen to stand by herself and stir pasta
* HappyLittleMoron nods a little, looking from him back to Brenna* <q> I still don't know if I can trust her for a long time, honey...after this...*shakes her head*
* Klork nods...sighing
<Klork> I know ... I'm gonna go downstairs...
* ``Mitch slowly shrugs off his jacket, and unfolds his anterior arms from concealment, stretching them out a little... he reaches out two hands. "M- Mitch. Mitch Williams."
<Evy> *nods* Doctors again?
* Klork heads out, slowly heading down the stairs, rubbing his head from the gnad sinus headache..
* HappyLittleMoron nods a little..* <q> Ok...I'll...stay up here...might join you later.....
<Evy> *blinks*
* HappyLittleMoron leans back with Brenna
<Evy> Ah. I see.
* Kameko just kinda stirs some pasta shells, chewing at her lip
* AriaStormsinger watches him head down, not spotting her cause she's on the other side of the doorway.
<``Mitch> "I- I'm sorry... I... I've always thought I was... the only one."
* Klork blinks, coming down to see this, then chuckles, scooting past them
* ^Monisima^ looks at the two like an annoyed, impatient kid...
<Klork> Ahh, the four arm convention *winks, going into the kitchen*
<Evy> *holds out her other arms* Drat, and when I picked out this set of arms, I was hoping nobody else would be wearing the same thing. I'm so embarrassed <g>
* Klork blinks
<Evy> *blushes* Sorry...when I get nervous, I get silly.
<Klork> Heya, Kame! When'd you get here..??
<``Mitch> "Born like that?"
* Kameko screams in surprise, jumping and throwing the spoon she was using to stir back over her head as she spins around
* Kameko then narrows her eyes
* Klork erks, snagging it mid air
<Kameko> WARN a person when you sneak up on them, will you?!
<Klork> Geeze! I didn't think I was sneaking!
* AriaStormsinger glances at the door next to her.
<Evy> Nooooot quite, but it's all the same right now, I guess.
<``Mitch> "Not exactly the... same, then..."
<AriaStormsinger> .o0(Did HLM kick him out?)
* ``Mitch is just pretty visibly in shock.
* Klork hands the spoon back to Kame
<Evy> *smiles* Well, them's the breaks. What's your story, huh?
<Klork> I assume you're cooking something good..unfortunately, I can't smell a damn thing with this cold..
* ^Monisima^ puts her hands up, lacing them behind her head...
* Kameko takes the spoon, shrugging a bit
<Kameko> Makin' white cheddar pasta shells..
* Klork arches a brow
<Klork> Ooooohhh...*purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs* I love you sistah', you know this don't you?
<``Mitch> "Long and, y'know, painful... I..." He throws a desperate glance at Moni. "Look, I- I need to go somewhere, do something... you going to be here a while?"
* Kameko chuckles a little
<Kameko> Yeah, I know. Don't hear it often, but yeah, I know.
* Kameko smirks, winking at him
<Kameko> Unless, of course, I'm making food.
<Kameko> Think this is enough for eveyone .. and Rislyn? I gotta take hers up to her room for her.
* Klork chuckles quietly
<Klork> I think so, yeah..how is she by the way?
* ^Monisima^ has a very impatient expression
<Evy> Um, for a bit. I'll just be watching TV, and such :)
<Klork> Want me to ring the dinner bell?
<``Mitch> "Okay..." He pulls on the jacket again, tucking his arms up and behind him with the speed of years of practice, concealing them deftly. "Uh, I'll talk to you later. I guess."
* HappyLittleMoron 's still sitting there with Brenna...if Aria wants something unpleasant to happen <EG>
<Evy> *peeks around the corner* Did I hear the mention of food?
* ^Monisima^ runs over to the door
* ``Mitch hesitates, then backs up, turning and walking to the door - though he can't help but look back, still dumbfounded.
* ^Monisima^ opens the door and steps out....
<Kameko> Not yet with the dinner bell.. it's still a bit early. And Rislyn.. I.. dunno. She just refuses to come out. She's afraid she'll see men.
* Kameko glances up at him
<Kameko> That's what set her off, you know. Being around all the men.. she keeps saying that "it got out," and "it shouldn't have been strong enough."
* Kameko shrugs
<Kameko> I dunno what she meant, but apparantly it bugs the hell out of her.
<Evy> *sits on the sofa, stretching both sets of arms in a relaxed manner* *mutters* Gee, he seems so enthused...
* Klork furrows his brow..
<Klork> Gyah ..
* ``Mitch closes the door behind them... quietly, a little hoarsely, "Sorry about t- that... it's... I, it's just... I can't believe..."
* ^Monisima^ 's eyes change to red...a bit of steam coming from her arms...looks back at Mitch...
* HappyLittleMoron stands and heads out the door...glaring briefly at Aria before passing by and heading down the stairs, still carrying Brenna, wings curled around them both
* AriaStormsinger 's eyes widen as HLM passes.
<AriaStormsinger> Um.
<AriaStormsinger> <q> that's not good.
* AriaStormsinger gets up slowly and follows them downstairs.
* HappyLittleMoron sniffs the air and heads down into the kitchen
* Kameko stirs in some milk and seasoning stuffs
<``Mitch> A little desperately. "How would you feel, huh? If you'd had to keep who you were a secret all your life? Then you get dropped into a place where nobody cared - and on top of that, you just bumped into someone who SHARED that secret?"
<Kameko> Just about, Klork.. few more minutes. It's gotta sit. Then, you can ring the dinner bell.
* Evy watches TV, still occasionally glancing over her shoulder towards the door, all curious-like*
<Kameko> Any sign of Kevley yet? I just wonder how he's going to react to her.. locking herself up.. if it even matters
* ^Monisima^ has a kind of sad look in her eyes....
* HappyLittleMoron blinks a little...
* Klork nods to Kame
<Klork> A'right..and no..I have no clue where he went to..
* AriaStormsinger comes over to Evy. "Hello?"
<HappyLittleMoron> Mebbe Keelin or Dev would know...?
* Kameko shrugs
* ``Mitch shakes his head and sighs, rubbing his eyes for a moment before pushing his glasses further up. "I'm sorry, Moni. It's just... I'm sorry. C'mon, we'll take the subway. I've got a bunch of tokens left."
<Klork> No clue..they might *shrugs*
* ^Monisima^ nods...
* Evy wavels*
<Evy> Hello. I don't believe we've met. Are you new around here?
* AriaStormsinger nods, glances around for signs of HLM, then plunks down next to Evy. "I'm Aria!"
* AriaStormsinger holds out a hand.
* Kameko nods a little
<Kameko> At least they have a better chance of knowing than anyone else here.
<Evy> Evy. Nice to meetcha.
* ``Mitch leads the way to the subway and stuff... he closes his eyes for a moment, visualizing the pathways of NYC like a transportation neural network, and opens them a moment later with a map before his eyes. "Green. Okay, here-" He hands her a token. "You've taken the subway before, right?"
* Kameko serves up bowls and bowls of white-cheddar pasta shells
* Kameko then looks at Klork
* AriaStormsinger nods.
<Kameko> You can ring the dinner bell now. *smirks*
<AriaStormsinger> Where are you from?
<Evy> *shakes her hand with one of her second set*
* AriaStormsinger blinks.
* Klork hollers out the door
<Klork> Foood! *goes into coughing fits*
<AriaStormsinger> You're like Mitch!
* AriaStormsinger jumps and glances around at Klork's call
* ^Monisima^ shakes her head...
* Kameko acks, patting him on the back
* HappyLittleMoron erks and rubs Klork's back lightly
<Kameko> I didn't know you'd YELL it!
* Kameko waves her hand at him
<Kameko> BAD Klork!
<Evy> *looks awa, shrugging* A little bt of everywhere. Yourself?
* Klork chuckles, coughing slightly with a smirk
<Klork> eesh..whaa??
* AriaStormsinger glances back at Evy.
* HappyLittleMoron grins lopsidedly and chuckles* Klork...sit...*winks, then grins at Kame*
<AriaStormsinger> Brazil.
<``Mitch> "...okay..." .oO(Where the hell has she been?) "Just drop this token, little coin thing, in the slot. Then you can walk through the gates. Once we get downstairs, we'll get on a train that'll take us to where we're headed."
* Klork nods, sitting slowly
* Kameko looks over at him, taking him his bowl
<Kameko> Here.. eat. Something hot, and be careful. It'll make your nose run.
* ^Monisima^ nods
<AriaStormsinger> <q, looking toward the kitchen> I could make him feel better...
* Klork nods, sniffing with a sly smirk, slowly eating
* HappyLittleMoron sits by him, adjusting the sleeping Breenna in her arms
<Evy> Brazil, huh? *gets up and heads toward the kitchen*
* AriaStormsinger hesitates a moment, then follows quietly
* ``Mitch goes through the gate himself, demonstrating, and half-turns as he waits for her to follow
<Evy> *over her shoulder* I wouldn't recommend it...it tends to backfire, you know.
* ^Monisima^ follows and does the same
* AriaStormsinger 's eyes widen.
<AriaStormsinger> Backfire?
* Kameko sighs, taking another bowl and looking over at 'Mo, handing her hers and then grabbing yet another bowl to take upstairs to Rislyn
<``Mitch> "How long have you been in the city? Oh, bad question. Been here long?"
<HappyLittleMoron> Heh..thanks Kame..
* ``Mitch takes the steps, moving to the platform and waiting.
<^Monisima^> .....*thinks*....*shrugs*
* ^Monisima^ follows
<Evy> Yes, backfire. You unplug his nose and lungs, and then he'll get anosebleed from getting all dried out. You kinda have to weigh the consequenses of your actions, ya know?
* Klork eats, slowly...coughing between bites
<Evy> *DIVES into the cheesy pasta*
* HappyLittleMoron blinkblinks
* HappyLittleMoron shares hers with Brenna and stuff
* AriaStormsinger steps into the kitchen
* AriaStormsinger sniffs at the yummy pasta. *makes a wrinkly face*
* AriaStormsinger reaches for an orange and starts peeling, standing by the counter.
<``Mitch> "There just seems to be a lot you haven't picked up on. I'm a gutter rat, but I've hit up laundromats before... christ knows I've done enough train-hopping." .oO(Not to mention gate-jumping.) "You seem awfully... well... uninformed."
* ^Monisima^ nods
<``Mitch> "You didn't bring the pad and pencil with you, did you."
<^Monisima^> ......*shakes her head*
* AriaStormsinger watches Brenna.
* Kameko comes back downstairs, face troubled as she grabs her own bowl
<``Mitch> He chuckles, just a tad of irony there. "Yeah, okay. Ever been to a junkyard?"
<VertigoFox> ::vf fastnes his knife to his ankel again, taking a moment to watch the new designs reflect the light before sheathing it. He then scribbles down a note onto a pad and places it on his dresser. He walks slowly to the window and out onto the fire escape::
* ^Monisima^ thinks......nods...
* Brenna purrrrrrrs softly as HLM shares cheese-shells with her*
<AriaStormsinger> .o0(Hmm, Kame. Haven't seen her for awhile.)
<``Mitch> .oO(Four... three...) *light flares from the tunnel* .oO(...two... one...) *train pulls up, slowing before them* .oO(...gin.)
* Klork eats...still..going very slow due to interefering coughing fits
* Kameko calls out up the stairs
<Kameko> Anyone up there want dinner?! White-cheddar pasta!
<Evy> *too busy stuffing her face to answer*
* AriaStormsinger winces as Klork does another bout of coughing.
<Evy> *stops eating and coughs in Aria's direction pointedly*
* Kameko grins a little at Evy, nodding a bit and grabbing a bowl, taking it over to Aria
* AriaStormsinger puts the semi-blue orange aside and tucks her hands behind her.
<Kameko> Heya! Want some dinner?
<``Mitch> "Okay, then you know we're not going in the front way." He steps onto the train, and leans against one of the poles. "There's no dogs on this one - there were some health regs broken, and, well, end result no dogs. But there's still a watchman. We'll have to be quiet about it."
<AriaStormsinger> Um. What is it?
<Kameko> Pasta. And sauce. Trust me, it's good!
* Kameko grins
<Kameko> I made it. It HAS to be. <G>
<AriaStormsinger> Ok. *grins at that*
* ^Monisima^ nods
* Klork rubs his temples, leaning to the side after he's only half done...
* ^Monisima^ holds ontp the pole...
* AriaStormsinger takes the bowl and tries a little with her fingers
* `Wing` tries calling again.
* ``Mitch shifts with the train as it starts up, not even thinking about it.
<`Wing`> as much as i hate to ask someone needs to keep an eye on her..
<`Wing`> too much coffee
* Kameko acks, handing her a fork
<Kameko> I have this, too...<G>
<AriaStormsinger> Oh. Thanks.
* ^Monisima^ still has some steam coming offa her arms....holding the pole tightly as she looks at all the ppl....
<VertigoFox> ::after surveying the scenery he takes out his little book again, rips out a page and scribbles "good bye, for now" on it and puts it under the window before closing it. He then descends the fire escape and walks away down the street::
<``Mitch> "Uhm... you might want to back down on the..." He flicks his eyes towards the steam.
* `Wing` waits for someone to pick up the phone.
* AriaStormsinger takes the opportunity to set teh funky pasta down and runs for the phone.
<AriaStormsinger> "Hello?"
<`Wing`> Aria? Its wing... is HLM around?
<AriaStormsinger> Wing! Where are you?
<AriaStormsinger> Is Shin okay!?
* ^Monisima^ looks at her arms.....steams slowly stoping...but she shivers a bit
<`Wing`> Im at a hospital and no shes not. I need to talk to hlm please?
<AriaStormsinger> Um -- okay. Hold on!
<Evy> *feels a chill run down her back* Aria? Who's on the phone?
* AriaStormsinger goes to HLM --
<AriaStormsinger> HLM? Wing's on the phone -- he wants to talk to you.
<AriaStormsinger> He says Shin's not good.
* HappyLittleMoron looks up to Aria, nods cooley and stands, passing her and oging to the phone* H'lo?
<`Wing`> HLM Its wing.. i wont take too long but it it possable for somone to come down to St. Gabereals hospital.. and keep an eye on shin they want t drain me again.. and i want somone there incase she wakes up
* HappyLittleMoron blinks a little and nods with a sigh* Uhm...sure...I'll go, ok...?
* ^Monisima^ looks up at Mitch...
<`Wing`> Thank you.
* ^Monisima^ takes her hand off the pole...as where her hand was..was getting kinda hot..
* Kameko sighs, shaking her head when she finishes, glancing upstairs again
<Kameko> <vq> ...poor rislyn..
<AriaStormsinger> Where are you going, HLM?
<``Mitch> Quietly. "How much can you control it? Sorry, bad question. Do you have total control?"
<AriaStormsinger> Where are they at?
* HappyLittleMoron looks to Aria
<HappyLittleMoron> The hospital.
* AriaStormsinger draws herself up a little.
* ^Monisima^ nods....puts her hand on her arms...trying to keep herself hot w/o being noticed
<Evy> Is Shin okay?
* HappyLittleMoron tugs her jacket on, Brenna's too..
<HappyLittleMoron> I guess...Wing just needs a break...I'm gonna watch over her 'till he comes back or whatever...
<``Mitch> "You don't like being cold?"
* ^Monisima^ shakes her head
<AriaStormsinger> Let me come. I can help her heal.
<``Mitch> "You DO like being cold?"
* ^Monisima^ shakes her head...blinking...
<``Mitch> "Shit. Uh. Cold bad?"
* ^Monisima^ nods
* Kameko sighs, washing her dishes now, scrubbing at them as her face is filled with worry
<``Mitch> "Okay, we've got that straight. We'll be there soon."
* ^Monisima^ looks around..her eyes getting a little darker red...
<``Mitch> *subway pulls into the station... he gets out*
* ^Monisima^ follows him out
* HappyLittleMoron looks coldly at Aria, if looks could kill, that one would* No. *leaves*
* Calantha peeks out of her room, looking around
* AriaStormsinger reels at the impact of that look...
<Calantha> ..anyone alive?
* AriaStormsinger glances at the table to see if anyone else saw that
<AriaStormsinger> .o0(Oh boy. This is bad.)
* ``Mitch leads the way up to the street, down a few blocks... the dull roar of the ocean, intermingled with lonely cries of seagulls and the occasional foghorn, echoes throughout the district... above them, to one side, silhouettes of cranes and scrap heaps rise like ancient skeletons clawing their way to the surface
* HappyLittleMoron ...heads to the hospital, bus, taht's it.looking for Wing...or Shin's room..
* AriaStormsinger glances around one more time and slinks upstairs, again going to bed without meditating
<Evy> *gives Aria a sympathetic look* *whispers* What did you do, huh?
* `Wing` is waiting in the lobby for HLM
* ^Monisima^ starts heating herself up again...
<AriaStormsinger> Um. Tried to fix something.
* ^Monisima^ looks around
* HappyLittleMoron lifts a hand, waving to Wing and heads over, moving a little more slowly thannnn usual...
<AriaStormsinger> <Q> think I made it worse...
* ``Mitch watches, waits, finally - a bus stop, what he's looking for... quietly, "Okay, you're gonna boost me up on that bus stop, then I'm gonna help you up. From there we're gonna go over the side."
<`Wing`> Thanks for coming i didnt really want to ask but...
* ^Monisima^ blinks....
<HappyLittleMoron> No problem *grins very lightly and shifts Brenna on her hip* I understand how it is...*pats his shoulder* Where is she?
<`Wing`> this way... hi brenna
<Evy> *whispers* Ooooh. Um, see, that's what I mean by meddling being a not good idea. THAT's a backfire.
* Calantha slips out of her room and down the hall, looking for someone to talk to
<Brenna> Hihi Wing...*nuzzles close to her mom, half-asleep*
* HappyLittleMoron goes with Wing..
* `Wing` takes them as far as the door
<``Mitch> "Like I told you... most of us haven't always been on the same side as the law."
<``Mitch> "Okay, lace your hands together, I'm gonna step up-"
<`Wing`> shes inside i need to meet up with the nurse for a bit...
* HappyLittleMoron nods...* There a place to sit...? Get dizzy if I stand too long...
<`Wing`> yeah there are a few chiars. adn an extra bed in there incase i stay again so brenna can lay down if you like
* ^Monisima^ laces her hands together...
* HappyLittleMoron nods..* Ok...I'll see you in a bit, Wing...stay safe, huh?
<`Wing`> yokai *waves and heads down the hall*
* ``Mitch steps up on it and slaps palms against the top of the stop, hauling himself up... he reaches down for her hands, helping her up, though it isn't easy... she's almost certainly light, but he's not all that strong
<Evy> *heads over to the couch and curls up, sighing*
* HappyLittleMoron heads into the room...sitting by the bed in a chair and rocking Brenna gently, humming both to her and Shin..
* ^Monisima^ grabs his hand...her's are kinda hot
* Shin is not lookin too hot, between the bandage on her ribs, arms
