Session Start: Tue Mar 19 14:32:47 2002

* Diana groans softly, coming to slowly...*

* Mitch is awake, in his room, just sitting up in his bed with his glasses off and staring down at his hands.

* FWL_MeRc is getting eletric therapy

* HappyLittleMoron KNOWS Merc enjoys that...but...knocks lightly on Mitch's door...

<Mitch> .oO(Nowhere's safe. You should know that by now. You can't hide forever.)

* Mitch looks up, scrubbing hands over his face and pushing the glasses on... "Hello?"

<Psy1> you are ours D-200, our weapon, why must a weapon have a mind?

<HappyLittleMoron> 'S me...can I come in?

<Mitch> "Of course..." He pushes himself off the bed, hooks a shirt as he passes the laundry pile, and unlocks the door, still shrugging into it.

* HappyLittleMoron opens the door, slips in...

* FWL_MeRc snarls glareing at the psy "I am not yours! i am Merc call me by my name!" the psy flips a switch as 1,000 volts shoot trough him, causeing him to jerk violently and yell out in pain* Mitch quietly walks over to the bed, dragging the crates over and having a seat... he gestures for her to take the bed 

<HappyLittleMoron> Gotta talk to ya, Mitch...thanks...*sits slowly on the bed, tired and worn lookin'*

* Mitch doesn't look all that hot either, but when compared to her is probably Charles Freakin' Atlas

<Mitch> He looks down at his hands, dangling between his legs. "Yeah... I don't... I can't remember everything about last night. But I broke the rules."

<Psy1> you are a weapon not a person look at you

* HappyLittleMoron nods...* Yeah...so did Mondo...and he's out already...I know you were defending yourself, but...same rules apply...I don't particularly want to kick ya out...but I have to...

* FWL_MeRc glares up at him "let me down and I'll show you how much of a weapon and a person i am" yells out again as hes shocked

<^Monisima^> ..

<Mitch> "I was in a corner, I..." He sighs, flicking off his glasses. "Old habits die hard, I guess. Is there anything I can do?"

* ^Monisima^ waves her hands around

<Mitch> "I can promise, y'know, it wouldn't happen again. I'll turn in the guns. I'll keep out of people's ways."

* HappyLittleMoron sighs a little, and massages her temples...* Well...ok...yeah...turn in all yer weapons...and you are gonna be watched...at least 'till Saturday...I know you were cornered...that's why I'm not gonna kick you out...just...watch yer step, k...? *smirks a little*

<Mitch> He looks up, a little surprised and VERY grateful. "Oh hell yes. Thank you. Thank you."

<Mitch> .oO(Saturday?)

* ^Monisima^ is STIILLLL not at the asylum...is sleeping in the part

* HappyLittleMoron nods a little* Heh...no problem...just...watch yer step...uhm...where are the weapons....?

* Mitch reaches over and hands her one pistol, taking it from the bedstand... murmuring, "-'scuse-", he kneels on the bed and reaches past her, dragging the other one out from between the mattress and the headboard.

* HappyLittleMoron nods...

<Mitch> "Those are, umm, loaded and chambered." He goes to the dresser and picks up a box half-full of 9mms, handing it to her.

* HappyLittleMoron unloads 'em, not the first time she handled guns, and nods, taking it...* Ok...

<Mitch> "Mrs. Happy..." He takes a seat again, brow furrowed. "I really don't know what happened. I remember trying to talk him down... I remember it escalating, and him coming through the door... then... I think he tackled me through the window... and... it just, just fades... something happened on the top of a building, but other than that..."

* HappyLittleMoron nods, furrowing her brows* Geeze...ok...*sighs a little* I know I'll get the full story from someone...maybe Diana once she wakes up...so long as everyone's at least semi-ok...

<Mitch> He frowns. "When she wakes up?"

* HappyLittleMoron nods...* She was out cold last I saw...seems like she somehow overextended herself...in a bad way...her ribs were all...bruised again...hand bleeding...

* Mitch pales, and goes from sitting to standing without bothering with the niceties of the motion in between (figuratively). "Oh god no. Can I- is it okay if I see her?"

* HappyLittleMoron nods, standing slowly as well* Yeah...she's up in her room...door's unlocked...

* Mitch bolts for the door, leaving it open as he skids around the edge of the stairs and takes them three at a time... .oO(Please no, not her, not again...)

* HappyLittleMoron heads out after him, closing the door behind him and taking the weaponry wiith her, putting it someplace safe...

* Diana's lying in her bed, wearing pj bottoms and a loose tank top...struggling to come to...

* ^Monisima^ sleeps in some bushes...

* Mitch slows to a trot outside her room, actually gnawing a knuckle, and eases the door open

* Diana's not looking TOO bad...right hand's bandaged...bruising spreads around her back and over her shoulders a little...she's kinda rolled onto her side, murmering softly, brows knit*

<Mitch> "T- tomodachi... gomen nasai, gomen fucking nasai..." Swallowing, he drops to one knee by her bed, taking her unconscious (so he thinks) hand between two of his.

* Diana's fingers twitch in his, eyes fluttering a little* <w> Hn..

<Mitch> "Diana?!" He half-stands, hovering over her worriedly.

<Diana> <w> Ne...Mitch...*eyes slowly open, fogged, she squints up at him, then winces, lifting her hand to cover her eyes* ...itai...

* Mitch moves over a little so he's between her and the light, looking down at her with a mixed expression - relief, pain, self-loathing

<Diana> *slowly removes her hand and looks up at him, struggling to focus, her words slurring a little into each other* <w> Domo...are...you alright...? Did it work...?

<Mitch> "Hai... I'm fine, I'm okay..." .oO(Your head isn't.) .oO(Shut up. It'll pass.) "Diana, I... I'm so sorry..."

* Diana blinks a little, furrowing her brows lightly* Naze...? Anatawa suru..*shakes her head with a grimace* You didn't do anything...

<Mitch> "You're here because of me..." He swallows, flicking his glasses off and rubbing a forearm across his eyes in a single movement. "Mondo's... it's my fault."

* Diana takes a deep breath and shoves herself up in bed a little more* <q> How?

* Diana motions for him to have a seat, leaning back, slightly breathless, in a fair amount of pain*

<Mitch> "Christ, I... if I hadn't said anything... if I hadn't, y'know, asked for your friendship..."

* Mitch sits back slowly, on the far side of the bed, drawing away from her and curling up around one knee

* Diana blinks* Ne...I'm glad you did...ask for my friendship anyway...Tomodachi...you can't live your life for others...

<Mitch> He shakes his head slowly. "I don't want you hurt. And... I hurt you..." He looks up. "Mondo... he says- he said that he isn't with Calantha... I thought, everyone thought he was, I just... I should have made sure..." *crosses his second arms around the knee* "And now you're even worse because you... hell, I didn't even KNOW you could do that..."

* Diana grins feintly* You made a mistake...as did he...and...heh...this is why I don't do that more often...

<Mitch> "You shouldn't have... you need to get better, dammit, you need to be well..."

* Diana smiles feintly* I had to...there was no other choice...I was not going to let you both die...and all of the other healers were either gone or unable to do it...I will recover...with time...

<Mitch> .oO(...can't argue with that.) .oO(Aren't you supposed to be wallowing in self-hatred and angst?) .oO(Yeah, but I'm not SUICIDIAL. C'mon. I don't want her hurt, but *I* don't want to die, either...)

<Mitch> He kinda leans his forehead against the knee, trapping his glasses there, blocking the possibility of eye contact. "Diana... if you want me to keep away, y'know, for a while or a long while or something... I'll understand. I don't wanna hurt you again."

* Diana furrows her brows lightly, watching him and leaning her head back against the pillow* Iie...I don't want you to leave me alone...I...really don't see this as your fault...not completely anyway...and anyway...I'm more than likely going to get hurt with or without you around...

* Mitch , despite everything that's happened, despite everything he's feeling, helplessly sniggers. "...around here, yeah."

* Diana smirks, chuckling very lightly* Hai..

* Mitch keeps his head ducked as he pulls off his glasses, scrubs his eyes against his forearm, and pushes the glasses on again, before finally looking up with faint hope. "Still tomodachi?"

* Diana smiles reassuringly* Hai...still tomadachi...

<Mitch> .oO(Christ, you're acting like a fucking teenager.) .oO(Shut up or I'll exorcise you.)

* Mitch 's lip twitches ever so slightly, and he reaches out and VERY gently bumps fists with her. "Domo."

* Diana chuckles softly, returning the gesture* Hai..

<Mitch> "I... there's a lot I don't remember about last night... but I think I might have gotten the aura ball thing working..."

* Diana chuckles softly* Oh hai...in fact....you overshot by quite a bit...

<Mitch> He blinks. "What, I made a box?"

* Diana blinks and chuckles softly* Iie...you lifted yourself off the ground when you made the sphere...

* ^Monisima^ ....sleeps....

<Mitch> "Weird... I haven't tried it again. Kinda scared to, really."

* Diana nods slightly* Hai...I understand why...you know how to do it now...you just need to learn how to control the power flow...

<Mitch> .oO(That and I've got a mother piss bucket headache from the last time yet.) He nods, slowly starting to relax slightly.

<Mitch> "Daijoubu? What happened?"

* Diana smirks a little* Ne...I hurt...demo...I healed you and Mondo...used a spell I seldom ever use because...well...it overloads me...takes some of my healing abilities away to give to whoever I'm healing...

<Mitch> *wincing a little at this* "So you, um, relapsed some?"

* Diana nods slightly* Hai...just...more soft tissue bruising...nothing seriouse...

<Mitch> "You'll get the abilities back, right?"

<Diana> Oh hai...deffinately...just need to get over this magic hangover...and heal...

<Mitch> "Is there anything I can do to help? Anything, really."

* Diana shakes her head a little and smirks lightly* Iie...nothing that I'd feel comfortable asking you to do...domo...

<Mitch> He blinks a little at this. "I can do laundry. Unless you want it, y'know, ironed or something."

* Diana chuckles softly, then winces* Heh...iie...I have enough clean clottthing to last until I can get to it...demo...perhaps a little water...?

<Mitch> "Sure..." He slides off the end of the bed, standing, then hesitates. "Umm, could I have another one of those pill thingies? Are they expensive?"

* Diana nods a little* Hai...you can...and iie...I know how to make them, so...*shrugs a little*

* Mitch heads in and snags a pill, dry-gulching it as he fills a glass of water for her. .oO(Last time it took... two minutes? Okay. Two minutes.)

* Mitch comes back and hands it to her

<Diana> Domo...*accepts it and sips...*

* Mitch just kind of leans back against a wall, closing his eyes. "...Christ, I should know better than to ask this by now. But... this sort of thing happen a lot around here?"

* Diana smirks* Heh...that in specific? First time, actually...

* Mitch blinks a little at this, then shakes his head ruefully. "Hell of a way to get remembered."

* Diana smirks* Hai...

* Diana sighs a little* Ne...that fight really made me wonder what I saw in him in the first place...

<Mitch> "It won't happen again. It can't. Mrs. Happy gave me another chance... I'm not going to fuck it up. This place... y'know, the people... it's just really starting to grow on me."

* Diana chuckles softly* Good...I'm glad...*smiles*

<Mitch> He shakes his head slowly. "People change. I dunno what he was or what he's been through, but I gather he's been through some rough stuff lately."

* Diana nods* Hai...that he has...

<Mitch> "I don't know what to think, tomodachi. I don't want to make things any worse by digging any deeper... I've already done enough damage."

* ^Monisima^ looks up..seeing ppl coming closer to her area...gets up quietly and goes back further into a more covered area

* Diana shrugs a little and winces* I don't know...

<Mitch> .oO(She doesn't need this.) "Diana... things'll get better. Rest. Give me a shout if you need anything..."

* ^Monisima^ is in the park..never came back

* Diana nods a little* Hai...domo, Mitch...take care of yourself..

<Mitch> "You too, tomodachi... domo..." Quietly. "Gomen..."

* Diana smiles a little* Don't worry about it...

<Mitch> .oO(Like I got a choice.) "Feel better... lemme know if your hand needs to get done up again." *leans offa the wall*

* Diana nods* Hai...

* Mitch exits stage left, heading back down the hall, feeling a bit better... he's looking for Mrs. Happy as he goes...

* HappyLittleMoron 's downstairs iiin the living room, helping Iris with her homework and letting Brenna do more coloring...Brenna has her stuffed cat-doll close on one side, a brown stuffed turtle-doll on the other...

* Mitch glances at the kitchen... .oO(Nah. You don't know how alcohol will react with that stuff.)

* Mitch settles down on the couch nearby... quietly, "Diana's awake, she's okay. A little bruised, but... she'll be better soon."

* HappyLittleMoron blinks and looks up, pausing before actually smiling at Mitch* She is?? When'd this happen...?

* ^Monisima^ sits out there..staying out of sight

<Mitch> Less sotto vocce, to the kids- "Hi, Brenna. Hi, Iris."

* Brenna looks up to Mitch and smiles a little, waveling, looking tired still*

<Mitch> "She was coming to when I came in... she said, sounded like, 'magic hangover'."

* Iris looks up from her math and smiles at mitch in greeting*

<HappyLittleMoron> Ahh...*nods a little* Yeah...that's the headache you get after using too much...

* Mitch sits up a little, looking alert. "Is there a cure?"

<HappyLittleMoron> Heh...nope...'sides time...unfortunately..

<Mitch> .oO(So much for that.) He slumps back against the couch.

<HappyLittleMoron> Heh...sorry...

<HappyLittleMoron> You prob'ly have one yourself...

<Mitch> "Nandemo dai."

<HappyLittleMoron> Okie..

<Mitch> .oO(Shit, is it all over the Asylum?) A slow sigh. "Yeah. Big one. Painkillers are kicking in, though."

* HappyLittleMoron noddles...* That's good...

* HappyLittleMoron streatches her wings a little and massages her temples..

<Mitch> Quietly. "I'm sorry about everything."

* HappyLittleMoron looks up and smiles a little, slowly getting up, only to sit over by him and hug him lightly* Heh...life happens...nothin' anyone can do about it...

* Mitch is very taken aback by this, but returns it, getting about three arms around her and leaning his head on her shoulder. "Daiben okoru?"

* HappyLittleMoron blinks and smirks* Heh...hai...hai...seikaku na...

* Mitch blinks, straightening up and leaning back. "You lost me."

* HappyLittleMoron chuckles and pats his shoulder* Seikaku na means "exactly"..

<Mitch> "Ah. Hai." His lip twitches. "Domo, Mrs. Happy."

* HappyLittleMoron smirks and winks* Nan demo nai, Mitch...

* Mitch hunches over and looks at Iris's homework, craning his neck in curiosity

* simple arithmatic...addition 'n subtraction, that fun stuff...*

*a while later*

* HappyLittleMoron comes down the stairs from putting Brenna to bed...

* OikawaNishimaru walks out of his room and heads upstairs towards the roof

* OikawaNishimaru turns and heads for the workout room

* HappyLittleMoron blinks a little

<HappyLittleMoron> Heyooo Kawa...

<OikawaNishimaru> Hi, how are you this evening?

<HappyLittleMoron> I'm ok...worn out as usual but hey...*smirks a little and shrugs* You?

<OikawaNishimaru> I am doing well thank you

* OikawaNishimaru heads into the workout room and extends his lightsaber, starting a kata

* HappyLittleMoron shrugs a little and heads into the kitchen..

* `Wing` comes home, hanging his coat and aprin up glaring at it

<`Wing`> taidaima

* HappyLittleMoron blinks...

<HappyLittleMoron> Nice to see you too, Wing...'sup?

<`Wing`> Girlscouts.. mobs.. of.. girlscouts...

<HappyLittleMoron> Ahh...

<`Wing`> they .. inducted me because they siad i was cute and waring green...

* HappyLittleMoron stiffles a laugh...

<HappyLittleMoron> I'm...uhm...sorry to hear that!

* Aria peeks out of the kitchen at Wing.

<Aria> What are Girl Scouts?

* Mitch is, umm, upstairs kind of resting and hiding out yet

<HappyLittleMoron> Demon spawn, Aria..

<`Wing`> *grumbles* creepy little gremlins who call you smoochy and try and sell cookies...

* HappyLittleMoron chokes a little and flees into the kitchen before she bursts out laughing

<Aria> Ew.

<Aria> Maybe they wouldn't be gremlins if they didn't eat cookies after midnight. *munches a cookie*

* HappyLittleMoron bursts out laughing

* Aria gives HLM a funny look

* OikawaNishimaru walks out of the workout room and stretches, lightsaber hanging on his belt

<Aria> Hi Kawa!

<`Wing`> maybe...

<OikawaNishimaru> Hi

* `Wing` heads for the sparing room

<Aria> Whatcha doin'?

<`Wing`> *qmutter* must maim something

* HappyLittleMoron rests her brow on the counter, just laughing hysterically

<OikawaNishimaru> Not much, just done some practicing

* Aria scratches her head

* AriaStormsinger giggles, watching HLM

<AriaStormsinger> What -- *choke* -- what do you practice, Kawa?

* `Wing` grabs a shinai and starts practicing imaginig hes beating the crud out of evil girlscouts

* HappyLittleMoron straitens, whiping her eyes and slowly calming

<OikawaNishimaru> I guess you could call it.... swordsmanship

<AriaStormsinger> <stage w> Your eyes are all sparkly, HLM!

<AriaStormsinger> Oooh. Swords. Conor MacLeod fought with a sword...

<AriaStormsinger> And King Arthur.

<OikawaNishimaru> its not a real sword

<AriaStormsinger> It's plastic?

* `Wing` calms down and starts his normal rutien pulling off his shirt to let his wings out

* HappyLittleMoron blinks a little..

* OikawaNishimaru takes his lightsaber off his belt and turns it on, the neon green blade hums to life with the traditional lightsaber sounds.

* AriaStormsinger 's eyes go HUMONGOUS.

<HappyLittleMoron> They are? *snickers a little*

<AriaStormsinger> woooooooowwwwwwwwwwwww

* Calantha stretches awake, looking up at the night and yawning

<AriaStormsinger> <sw> Yep. Reeeeeal pretty. Not as nice as Klork's sparky eyes tho.

* HappyLittleMoron chuckles* Uhh...thanks? <G>

<AriaStormsinger> What IS that?? *to Kawa*

<OikawaNishimaru> its a lightsaber, the weapon of a Jedi

* Mondo_Gecko is putting up sheets around the bell tower, giving them privacy

<AriaStormsinger> A Light Saver.

<OikawaNishimaru> saber

<AriaStormsinger> Saber.

* OikawaNishimaru nods

* OikawaNishimaru retracts it and hangs it back on his belt

<AriaStormsinger> Not as in -tooth tiger, right?

* OikawaNishimaru shakes his head* nope

* AriaStormsinger makes sword movements in the air.

<AriaStormsinger> So, it's like you fight with light?

* Calantha sits up a bit

<Calantha> Heh.. good idea.

* Mondo_Gecko finnishes now the belltower is blocked from view and they can do what they want inside it without ppl seeing

* OikawaNishimaru nods

* Mondo_Gecko points over to a small electrical heater pluged into the back

* Several stories below, a few black smudges are all that's left of Stacie, as far as Mondo and Cala can tell*

<Mondo_Gecko> ...whacha think of that

* Mondo_Gecko grins

* Calantha smiles

* AriaStormsinger quits with teh sword movements, smiling

<Calantha> Where'd ya get it?

* HappyLittleMoron 's warming up leftovers in ze kitchen

<Mondo_Gecko> I stole it..

<Mondo_Gecko> I found a pawn shop last night .. I couldn't sleep..I broke into it

<AriaStormsinger> So what's a Jedi?

<Calantha> Good job..

<Mondo_Gecko> I got us some knives too

<OikawaNishimaru> a protector

<Mondo_Gecko> and these sheets came from the YMCA laundry

* Klork comes in the door, closing it behind him. He leans against it for a moment with a small sigh, looking around with his jaw set

* AriaStormsinger runs up to Klork. "KLORK! HLM can make sparkly eyes but they're not as cool as yours!!"

* HappyLittleMoron blinks and looks up* Heh...?

<AriaStormsinger> At least I think so! Can you make sparky eyes and show us?

* Klork blinks...

<Klork> Ok ..

* OikawaNishimaru shakes his head and heads off upstairs to the roof

* Calantha nods, looking around a little, still waking up

* Klork arches a brow, shaking his head slowly

* HappyLittleMoron heads out of the kitchen, going over to greet Klork...

* AriaStormsinger 's face falls. "Oh. You okay?"

<Klork> Not now, 'Aria ... I uh, have some things I hafta think about ..

* Klork smiles a small one

<AriaStormsinger> Maybe later...

<Klork> Yeah, just been thinkin is all...you'll understand a bit later..

* Klork nods, smirking a bit

* AriaStormsinger backs off to Kawa, lets HLM talk to him, nodding

<Klork> Later is good..*smirks again, brows still furrowed*

* HappyLittleMoron blinks a little...* ...uh...wanna talk about it...?

<Klork> Um, not this very second..I kind of want to hold a meeting tonight. Everybody is gonna hear this at once.

* HappyLittleMoron noddles...arching a brow* K...

* Klork slides his coat off

<Klork> And if we can get Mondo and Cala here too I'd appreciate it. *his voice is a little hoarse, as if coming out of a cold*

* AriaStormsinger follows Kawa to the roof.

<AriaStormsinger> Jedi are protectors? Of what?

* Klork looks at his watch

<OikawaNishimaru> all living things

<Klork> in about an hour from now .. *rubs at his back* I need to gather my thoughts first.

* HappyLittleMoron nods...* Uh...k...

<AriaStormsinger> *nods* I like that.

<OikawaNishimaru> I see

<AriaStormsinger> How did you become a Jedi?

<OikawaNishimaru> you must have special abilities at a young age, and be picked to be trained by a Jedi Master. It is very hard

<HappyLittleMoron> I'll see if I can find someone who knows where they are...*runs a hand through her hair* Uhm...food's warming up in the kitchen if you want any..

<Klork> I mean, well, if it's ok with you at least..*looks down at her, brows furrowed* You're kinda the ..well, you n' Diana are the owners..

* Klork nods, smirking a bit, almost glad to have that much off his shoulders

* HappyLittleMoron blinks...and nods a little* Yah...'sokay, love...

<Klork> I appreciate it *smirks, pulling her close in a hug*

<AriaStormsinger> But it must be very worth it. To get to protect all living creatures!

* HappyLittleMoron smiles and hugs back, leaning up to kiss his jaw gently

* Mondo_Gecko lays back on the floor of the bell tower

* Klork kisses her on the brow, rubbing her back

<Calantha> So.. besides you bring home stuff, I miss anything during the day?

* OikawaNishimaru nods* but with it comes great responsibility, you can never let your emotions cloud your judgement

<Klork> Is Brenna in bed..?

* AriaStormsinger frowns

* Mondo_Gecko takes his guitar from his case of things stashed in the corner and lays back

<Mondo_Gecko> ...music?

<AriaStormsinger> No emotions?

* HappyLittleMoron nods..* Yeah...she hasn't woken up yet so...*holds up her crossed fingers* Let's hope...

* Mondo_Gecko shakes his head no..

<Mondo_Gecko> nothing really

<Mondo_Gecko> ...I went into the chuch

* OikawaNishimaru nods* well, fear, hate, anger

* Klork nods, kissing her crossed fingers

<Mondo_Gecko> you can walk across the rafters

<Klork> Good ... I'm hopin' we can all be civil tonight, but I don't want her downstairs if it DOES get ugly ..

<Mondo_Gecko> ...I think I'm gonna start going to the sermons...well.. in the rafters anyways

<OikawaNishimaru> fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to the darkside, and destruction

* Klork rubs her shoulders

<Klork> Anyway, about that food..

* HappyLittleMoron nods...* Of course...*smiles a little and nods...*

<HappyLittleMoron> Zis way, m'love...*winks and leads for the kitchen*

<Calantha> Cool.. and yes, music would be lovely :P

<Mondo_Gecko> You ever go to church?

* Calantha smiles a little, lying back and streeeetching

* Mondo_Gecko starts to strum softly..

<AriaStormsinger> So you're never afraid?

<Calantha> Heh.. not in a while.

* Klork purrs, following

* AriaStormsinger looks thoughtfully over the city.

* Mondo_Gecko plays the intro to Under the Bridge

<AriaStormsinger> <q> I'd like to not be afraid...

<Mondo_Gecko> me neither

* HappyLittleMoron passes a telepathic message off to Diana, who in turn, tries getting into contact with Mondo <G>

<Mondo_Gecko> Sometimes I feel like I don't have a partner.. sometimes I feel like my only friend is the city I live in the city of angels , lonely as I am..together we cry

<OikawaNishimaru> fear is a part of life, but when it distracts you from living your life then it is a problem, everyone has fears

<Diana> {{...ne...excuse me...eh...Mondo?}}

<Mondo_Gecko> I drive on the streets cause she's my companion, I walk through the hills cause she knows who I am ..

<Mondo_Gecko> *intentionaly sends a sound back to Diana that sounds like TV static*

<Mondo_Gecko> I don't ever wanna feel like I did that day! take me to the place I love, take me all the way...

* `Wing` sets the shinai back on its stand running a hand though his hair..

<`Wing`> (( something feels strange... more then usual...why do I feel drained when i havent used any of mypowers?))

* Klork sits down, eating slowly..

<Diana> {{Mondo...you may have a way back into the Asylum if you answer...Klork wants to hold a group meeting in an hour...if all can be civil things may be worked out}}

* ^Monisima^ is still not back at the asylum if anyone was wondering

* OikawaNishimaru yawns

* HappyLittleMoron sits by him, munching herself...

* Mondo_Gecko stops playing and looks up

<AriaStormsinger> How do you overcome fears, then?

<Mondo_Gecko> apperently they're calling some kinda meeting

* Calantha blinks, rolling onto her side and looking up at him

* `Wing` groans heading upstairs following the feeling

<Mondo_Gecko> ...I say we arm ourselves..

<Calantha> ..who's they?

* Klork munches, just staying quiet .. running through his thoughts..

<Mondo_Gecko> ...could be some kinda trap

<Mondo_Gecko> they ..them

<Mondo_Gecko> you know

* Calantha nods

<OikawaNishimaru> its complicated

* ^Monisima^ picks up her bag again...starts walking even further away

<Mondo_Gecko> ...they want me dead.

* Mondo_Gecko frowns, remembering what Stacie said.."his child"

<Mondo_Gecko> ....it sounds too dangerous..

<Diana> {{Ne...if you want to show up, show up, if you don't, continue with your ameturish behavior...}} *cuts the connection off and leans back against the pillows, grimacing lightly at the pain in her head*

* Mondo_Gecko scowls

* `Wing` stands outside Diana's room for a minute or two before knocking softly

<Mondo_Gecko> ....still with the insults apperently

<Mondo_Gecko> ...I wish I never learned telepathy

* Calantha shakes her head

<Mondo_Gecko> I have people insulting me in my head..

* Diana looks up, blinking a little* Come in...?

* OikawaNishimaru looks up at the stars* there is a lot of telepathic bantering going on tonight

<Mondo_Gecko> ...Cala stay here....you could get hurt

* `Wing` enters quietly

<`Wing`> Diana?

<Diana> ...hai?

* Calantha frowns

* AriaStormsinger points out at teh city. "I mean, there's so many people otu there, and any of them could do ANYthing at any moment."

<AriaStormsinger> The little-boy gremlins say, "Always Be PRepared", and you won't be as scared.

<AriaStormsinger> But how can you be prepared for ANYthing?

<AriaStormsinger> There is? *looks sad* I still can't hear anything.

<OikawaNishimaru> you can't be prepaired totally, you have to learn to think on your feet, and who are the little boy gremlins?

<`Wing`> are you allright?

<Calantha> No.. I'll go with you.

* `Wing` looks almost painfuly confused

<Mondo_Gecko> ....Don't be stupif

<Mondo_Gecko> you could get hurt..

<AriaStormsinger> The boy version of the ones who made Wing a squoosh-toy tonight.

<Mondo_Gecko> ....I hate to bring this up..what if you really are pregnant

* Klork finishes, staring

* OikawaNishimaru raises an eyebrow* what?

<Calantha> ...I'm sure it'll be fine.

<AriaStormsinger> *shakes her head* Wing came home and said girl gremlins with cookies came along and made him one of them.

<Calantha> I don't see the logic.. why would they wanna trap us when we're out of their hair already?

<OikawaNishimaru> I see

* Mondo_Gecko sighs

* Diana nods a little* Hai...just...worn...you?

* AriaStormsinger glances at Kawa's saber

<Mondo_Gecko> these ppl arn't logical...

<AriaStormsinger> Could...could I see how it works? Your Light Saver?

<AriaStormsinger> I mean, saber?

<Mondo_Gecko> ..I don't even know if I'd want to go back ...the way Diana said it..she assumed I wanted to be there

* OikawaNishimaru unhooks it from his belt and hands it to Aria* be careful with it

<Mondo_Gecko> I'd rather be alone than be the lowest common denominator somewhere

<Mondo_Gecko> and around ppl who resent me

* Klork sighs, looking over at HLM

* Calantha nods

<Mondo_Gecko> what kind of life is that?

<Mondo_Gecko> I'll go..

* AriaStormsinger holds the weapon hesitantly

* HappyLittleMoron rubs his back lightly, watching with concern...

* AriaStormsinger looks it over, tentatively rolling it back and forth on her palms

* AriaStormsinger holds it up and points it out over the roof

<Klork> I want it to be held in the sparring room. That way it can't be heard as easily upstairs. I don't want to disturb Brenna or Iris

* Klork stands, stretching

<`Wing`> i feel drained... and i dont know why

* HappyLittleMoron nods* Ok...sounds like a good idea...heh...I'll stay by the doorway just in case it does...or she has another nightmare or something...

<Klork> I'm gonna move the weapons out of the sparrin' room too ..

* HappyLittleMoron nods...

* Klork nods to her

* Diana frowns lightly* Ne...have a seat...?

* AriaStormsinger looks over her shoulder at Kawa, brows raised. "How do I turn it on?"

* OikawaNishimaru presses a switch on it

* Klork gets up, going into the sparring room, taking the weaponry and moving it all to the side...then goes about getting chairs for people to sit at, or the floor if they want

* ^Monisima^ gets to a li'l river w/ a bridge going over it....walks 1/2way...sitting down...feet over the edge and watches the water

* Kameko blips in, smiling all happy like, a very smug grin on her face as she walks over to the sparring room after just kinda figuring that's where Klork'll be

* Mondo_Gecko looks at his claws...they're already starting to grow back

<Mondo_Gecko> ....jesus..

<Kameko> Heya..good idea. I'll be right back.

<Mondo_Gecko> ...

* Klork blinks at Kame..

<Klork> Wha..??

* HappyLittleMoron wavels to Kame...then blinks...

<Mondo_Gecko> you think this could be due to the mutagen??

* Mitch is just kinda curled up in a corner of his room, fiddling with the stereo and scanning through the stations

* HappyLittleMoron makes a swishing motion over her head* Lost me...

* Klork starts heading to the stairs

<`Wing`> Diana for soem reaso... you feel like the sorce of the drain... that is what confuses me. *sits*

<Klork> Got me here too...I'm gonna go verbally tell people about it ..

<Calantha> Think what could be...?

* AriaStormsinger watches the light humming before her and slowly swooshes it through the air.

* Kameko walks out to the kitchen, popping a bag of movie theater popcorn into the microwave ... letting it cook up and then buttering it LOTS..preggo, she be, and then goes back out to see 'Mo

<AriaStormsinger> It's beautiful. You must practice with it for HOURS.

<Kameko> Heh..should be interesting. Brought food. Want some?

<Mondo_Gecko> my claws

<OikawaNishimaru> yes, I do

* Diana furrows her brows* Ne...well...I did do a huge spell a few nights ago...

* Kameko holds the bowl of popcorn out for her to snag some.

* HappyLittleMoron blinks then ooooohhhhhhs....

<Mondo_Gecko> I clipped them short the other day *holds one up* this one was too short..it was bleeding a little

* HappyLittleMoron snags some* Thankiethankiethankie!

* Calantha looks and shrugs

<OikawaNishimaru> I must keep my skills sharp

<Calantha> Ouch.. well.. maybe it is..

* Klork heads up the stairs, knocking at Shin's door 

* Rislyn arches a brow, coming downstairs slowly, kinda worried about this meeting thing and her temper...but is there, anyway

<Mondo_Gecko> now they're halfway to where they were

* Mondo_Gecko shakes out his hair ..which is the same length it was

<AriaStormsinger> What would happen if you actually hit someone with it?

<Mondo_Gecko> ...doesn't work on hair though..

* AriaStormsinger sweeps it experimentally like Conor MacLeod

<OikawaNishimaru> it will cut right through them

* OikawaNishimaru closes his eyes and puts his hand towards the roof enterance/exit

* AriaStormsinger shudders, holding it still

<Calantha> Well, it looks good at this length right now.

* AriaStormsinger glances up at the stars.

* Klork waits to see if Shin'll answer for a few moments

<AriaStormsinger> I...could maybe use it...if I had to.

<OikawaNishimaru> I don't go around slicing people apart, its for defense only

<Shin> {{ Hum?}}

<AriaStormsinger> Defense only. Defense of living beings.

* AriaStormsinger glances at Kawa. "What if your enemy is living?"

<Shin> {{ sup klorkie?}}

<Klork> {{Yo' Shin....I'm callin' a meeting in about 35 minutes in the sparring room .. think you're up to it? I'm makin' it civil. Mondo n' Cala will be there..}}

<Shin> {{ be down in a few}}

<Klork> {{K...thanks}}
* OikawaNishimaru nods as a little 6" shortsaber floats up into his hand* It doesn't matter, they are trying to hurt someone and that will not go unpunished

* Kameko looks at 'Mo

* Klork heads over to Diana's room..knocking lightly

* Diana furrows her brows in thought...then ows slightly, massaging her temples against the migrane*

<Diana> ...ah...hai?

<AriaStormsinger> That's reassuring.

<Kameko> Soo..where we holdin' this--Oh, sparring room. So where should we sit to at least stay out of the line of fire..?

<Shin> *yawns streching* naturaly when a GOOD dream happens ta come aorund.. i get workn up

* Klork pushes the door open gently..

* ^Monisima^ leans over a bit..watching the li'l fishies

<`Wing`> nani?

<HappyLittleMoron> Heh! I'm thinking of staying near the doorway...in case Brenna needs me...

<Klork> Hey, you hear 'bout the meeting Di..? You up to it..?

<Kameko> Good idea..You and I will sit together, and nibble this bowl of popcorn until it's empty! And then!

* Kameko reaches into her jacket, pulling out another bag

* Diana looks up then hehs a little* Ne...only if someone carries me...and the lights are dimmed...

<Kameko> ...We start ALLL over. <G>

* HappyLittleMoron laughs* oooohboy..

* Klork nods, twisting his mouth

* OikawaNishimaru nods and puts his hand out, using telepathy to gently pull the lightsaber out of Aria's hands

<Klork> You wanna borrow my sunglasses...? *looks at wing* You gonna come too..?

* Rislyn comes down, looking over at 'Mo and Kame

* AriaStormsinger 's eyes go WIDE open

<AriaStormsinger> Wow...

<Rislyn> ..What is this all about..?

* `Wing` puts a hand on Diana's trying to comfort her if he can with a little of his abilitis

<`Wing`> I will be there

* Klork nods

<Klork> Thank you.

<HappyLittleMoron> Heh...meeting in the woorkout room...

* Mondo_Gecko pulls his cloak on and pulls the hood up

<Mondo_Gecko> ...come on..

* OikawaNishimaru hands her the 6" one* I'll make you a trade

<AriaStormsinger> Whoa! You -- you mean it?

* Calantha stands and pulls on her coat, yawning again

<AriaStormsinger> What if I break it?

* Diana smiles a little at Wing and nods lightly* Ne...I have sunglasses of my own...somewhere...

* Klork heads to his room, then comes back with his sunglasses, settling them with Diana..

* Klork smirks

<Klork> Too late...

* Rislyn arches a brow, looking curiuosly at the two of them

<OikawaNishimaru> you can not break it, unless you break the power crystal inside, it is a practice one so it is of no real value if you break it. You seem interested enough

<Rislyn> What about..? Rates go up?

<Klork> Wing, you wanna help her down when the time comes..?

* Diana chuckles softly* Domo..

* Kameko shakes her head

<Kameko> Klork wants to talk 'bout stuffs..

* Kameko munch...munch..munches, offering the bowl out to both Rislyn and 'Mo

<HappyLittleMoron> Yeah...takin' it the social stuff...

* Klork smirks, tucking his thumbs into his beltloops, pausing at the door for Wing's answer

* HappyLittleMoron munches a little..

* Rislyn absently takes some, chewing at her lip

<Rislyn> Will..there be emotional outbursts..? I-I don't know if I should be there if tempers are going to be goin'..

* Mondo_Gecko pulls back the "curtain's on the tower and slips out of the railing

<Shin> *gets down stairs in about 10 minutes later one leg stuck straight out in her chair because of her cast. waring some jogging shorts

* Calantha slips out behind him, kinda racing him down, smirking

<Shin> .. well this thign is annoying as all get out

<HappyLittleMoron> Uh...might be..more than likely yeah...

* Klork heads out, heading up to wherever Aria & Kawa are

* OikawaNishimaru attaches his lightsaber to his belt* I must be going

* Rislyn chews at the popcorn, frowning

<Rislyn> ...Perhaps..I could get a private talking to about what's going on? I'm afraid of..snapping..if I'm in there..

<`Wing`> you going to be ok Diana

* Klork heads out to the roof, looking around

<AriaStormsinger> Interested enough for what, Kawa?

<OikawaNishimaru> to deserve it

<Klork> Hey...Aria..Kawa?

<OikawaNishimaru> Hello

<Mondo_Gecko> hey!

* Klork nods, thumbs still tucked into his beltloops

* Mondo_Gecko climbs down faster

<Mondo_Gecko> no fair!

* HappyLittleMoron nods..

<HappyLittleMoron> 'Course, Ris...

<AriaStormsinger> Okay, Kawa... Thank you so much!

* OikawaNishimaru nods

* Calantha skitters down the wall, laughin'

<Klork> I'm gonna hold a meetin' in about 25 minutes in the sparring room you too..if you can make it I'd appreciate it..

<AriaStormsinger> Hi Klork.

* Mondo_Gecko jumps and lands on the ground

<AriaStormsinger> A meeting??

<Mondo_Gecko> beat you!

* Klork nods..

* AriaStormsinger looks nervous

* Diana nods to Wing* Hai...I'll be alright..

<Rislyn> Thank you...I will adhere to whatever is going on though, I promise you.

<AriaStormsinger> That's what you were thinking about when you came in tonight?

<Klork> Just .. random things I need to get off my chest. It'll be civil. Or at least that's the intentions.

* Klork nods

<Klork> Yep.

* HappyLittleMoron nods...

* Rislyn nods, taking another handful of popcorn and heading back upstairs

<AriaStormsinger> Klork?

* Klork nods

<Klork> Yeah..?

<AriaStormsinger> If things get dangerous, or people are upset, would it be okay to use, y'know -- holds out her hands

* OikawaNishimaru waves his hand as he turns invisible

* AriaStormsinger blinks at the vanished Kawa

<AriaStormsinger> Wow... He is SO cool.

* AriaStormsinger looks thoughtfully at the six-inch life saber/light saver/whatavah

* Klork looks at Aria...thinking about it for a sec

* AriaStormsinger watches Klork

<Klork> I'll let you know at the time, k? Just .. y'know, just in case .. yeah.

* Kameko sighs, watching her go back upstairs, then looks at 'Mo

* Mondo_Gecko stroles away from the church

<Kameko> You know..it could help her to be here, but I'm not gonna force it. That's just not nice.

<AriaStormsinger> You'll let me know? That would be good.

* Klork nods..

* HappyLittleMoron nods..* Yeah...but...I dunno...if she doesn't think she could handle it...y'know...

<AriaStormsinger> Wait!

<Klork> Say if, I nod to you or something, go ahead, k..?

<Mondo_Gecko> ...I'm hungry..we've got time

<AriaStormsinger> *gleeful*

* Klork blinks

<Klork> Wha..?

<AriaStormsinger> We could have a SECRET SIGNAL

<Mondo_Gecko> ..wanna lesson in how to get food?

* AriaStormsinger hops a little

* Klork hrms...then nods

<AriaStormsinger> Just like on Double-Oh-Seven!

* AriaStormsinger turns around quickly

<Klork> If I do this, directly at you *does the eye-sparky thing* AND nod when I do it..then you go ahead..k?

* AriaStormsinger spins back with one finger cocked beside her cheekbone, winking

* Calantha shrugs

* AriaStormsinger steps back a little in surprise

<AriaStormsinger> OOOOH.

* AriaStormsinger takes a deep breath, totally psyched.

* Klork smirks, heading for the stairs

<AriaStormsinger> This'll be GREAT.

<Klork> I'm gonna go wake up Mitch...

<AriaStormsinger> Okay! Can I come along?

* AriaStormsinger skips after him

* Klork shrugs

<Klork> Sures...couldn't hurt..

<AriaStormsinger> Great.

* Kameko chuckles a little, then goes to sit in the sparring room and near the door, holding the lovely bowl of popcorn

* HappyLittleMoron settles by Kame, resting her hands on her belly

* Klork heads down...knocking lightly at Mitch's door

<Mondo_Gecko> what are you in the mood for?

* Mitch glances up, snapping off the stereo. "Yeah?"

<Klork> It's Klork, can I speak to you for a few seconds..?

* Calantha smirks... then shrugs

<Kameko> I hope this doesn't blow up too badly..you know..?

<Calantha> Anything's fine.

<Mondo_Gecko> ...ok..anything huh?

* Kameko looks over at her, popping another piece in her mouth

* Calantha gives Mondo a "Don't make me bitchslap you" look, then smiles a little

<Mondo_Gecko> heh heh

<Mitch> "Sure." He gets up, takes a breath, and walks to the door, snapping open the lock and opening the door.

<HappyLittleMoron> Me too...*shakes her head a little, grining a lil' tiredly*

* Mondo_Gecko motions to the cafe with ppl sitting outdoors. Someone is eating a club sandwich

* Klork leans on the door frame, rubbing his back idly

* Calantha nods

* Shingami just finds a place to park in the work out room.. infrot of all the sharp pointies

<Mondo_Gecko> watch

<Klork> I'm going to hold a meeting for the asylum downstairs in the sparring room in about 20 minutes ... Mondo and Cala are going to be there .. I'd appreciate it if you were as well.

<Klork> I'm HOPING for things to be civil.

<Mondo_Gecko> he'll turn his back..

<Mondo_Gecko> he will eventually..

<Mitch> .oO(Mon- oh, shit...)

<Klork> I'm not allowing weapons in there either, k ..?

* AriaStormsinger 's eyes go up. .o0(That's what this meeting's about?)

<Mitch> "...okay..."

* Klork nods, rubbing his back

<AriaStormsinger> .o0(Or are they just going to BE there?)

<Mitch> He nods. "I already turned mine in. I didn't want any repeats."

<Klork> Thank you .. I appreciate it.

* Klork pats Aria gently

* AriaStormsinger watches Mitch with her head to the side a bit...

<Klork> She'll be there if tempers flare..

<Klork> k..?

* Mondo_Gecko slips up to the cafe...acting like he's looking for something..or somenoe down the street and the guy's cell wrings in his breafcase and Mondo snatches the sandwich and darts to the next ally

<Mitch> "I just..." He sighs, leaning his head against the doorframe. "I guess I just hope I'm still welcome here when it's all over."

<Klork> and, she offered if you were wondering..*smirks*

* AriaStormsinger starts to smile, then puts a hand over the butterflies in her tummy

* the guy blinks and looks up..* .what the f..

<Klork> I think everyb'ody is hopin for good..hopefully that'll show.

* Mitch finds a tiny smile, looking down at her. "Thanks, Aria. It means a lot to me."

* Klork nods, stepping back

* AriaStormsinger grins at him. "It'll be fine."

<AriaStormsinger> Um, Klork?

<Klork> I'll letcha have your time til' then alone..*smirks, then glances at her* Yeah..?

<AriaStormsinger> You said no weapons. Kawa just gave me this. *holds out the minisaber*

* Klork nods

<Klork> Go put it in yer' room, k..?

<Mitch> .oO(Is there a back door? There's got to be a back door. I should find the back door. Soon.)

<AriaStormsinger> Will it be safe?

* Klork nods

<Klork> Should be..

* Calantha smirks, then sneaks into the alley

<Mitch> "...no, it's okay. I'm not doing anything important. I'll come down now."

* Klork nods

<Klork> K'...*steps back* I'm gonna go around and see if I'm missing anybody .. and to be safe, I'd like you and Mondo on opposite sides of the circle, k?

<Mitch> He chuckles, nervously. "You and me both."

<Mitch> "Thanks, Klork."

* Klork nods, slowly shaking his head after wards

* AriaStormsinger goes to her room and stands on the toilet, reaching up to the highest shelf

* AriaStormsinger tucks the saber there

<Klork> DOn't thank me yet.....*smiles, going into his room to make sure Brenna's sleeping well*

* AriaStormsinger hops back down and glances at herself in the mirror.

* Mondo_Gecko offers her half

<Mondo_Gecko> ...here...

<Mondo_Gecko> it's on teh house

<Calantha> Heh.. thanks

* Brenna's sleeping soundly, curled around the two stuffed animals, little fingers twitching a lil'*

<Mondo_Gecko> ...I'm not above eating food that fell on the ground either..

* Calantha takes it

<Mondo_Gecko> and soon you won't be either

* Mitch heads back in long enough to grab his keys and lock up behind him... he heads downstairs slowly, rubbing his neck.

* Klork kisses her brow, backing out of the room slowly

<Calantha> Never have been

* AriaStormsinger stares into the big blue eyes blinking back, the waves of blue falling to her shoulders, the sweatshirt and jeans she's wearing.

* Brenna purrs lightly at the kiss*

<Mondo_Gecko> so if someone's eating a hot dog or a burger or something ..bump into them..if it falls disapear and come back and snatch it

<Mondo_Gecko> the backs of super markets have stale bread

<Mondo_Gecko> ..there's lots of shops stupid enough to leave food out on the streets too

<Wing> *joins his sister standing beside her the two quietly arguing in monotoned japanese about the other night*

* Klork heads down the stairs, and out to his truck, grabbing two bags from the bed

<Mondo_Gecko> but the motherload of food in in the trucks

* Calantha nods

<Mondo_Gecko> I can show you how to break into trucks and get stuff..

* Mitch quickly ducks into the kitchen before he can be noticed, and grabs a beer... .oO(This is gonna come in handy. Beer usually does.)

* Calantha smirks a little

* AriaStormsinger twists some hair around a finger. "You can do this. And it'll be all right. Only when Klork says."

* Kameko sighs, looking over at her watch

<Calantha> Heh.. sure thing, Shawn.

* Mondo_Gecko eats the sandwich half like he's never seen food before..

<Kameko> How long we have until it starts now?

* Mitch tucks a second into the hip pocket of his cargo pants, snapping the cap off the first and walking out into the living room

<HappyLittleMoron> Uhh...dunno...gotta be soon...

* Klork comes into the asylum, going into the sparring room and setting down the bags...some pop and a few bags of chips...for those who will need distractions to keep their tempers down

<Mondo_Gecko> come on

* Klork sighs, rubbing the back of his neck..then blinks at Wing

* Calantha eats and heads off

<Klork> Wing..? Were you gonna bring Di' down..?

* Mondo_Gecko turns and heads to the asylum

* AriaStormsinger slips into her room and changes into her purple blouse and skirt, smoothing her hair behind her pointed ears

<Wing> .. sorry.. gont distracted*looks at shin who shrugs.. he heads up to ger D*

* Diana gets...gotten <G>*

* Klork goes and drags in one of the more comfortable chairs for Diana

* AriaStormsinger comes down the stairs, peeks in the sparring room, looking around and nodding at the sight of all the folks

<Wing> *helps Diana downstairs puttign her between shin and himself

* Klork stands, looking around

<Diana> Domo...*settles carefully into the chair*

* Mitch camps a chair comfortably close to the entrance to the sparring room

<Klork> A'right...everybody in...we'll start when everybody's here..

* AriaStormsinger fetches a little pillow from one of the couches and comes into the sparring room, pops it onto one of the higher level pieces of weight equipment.

* HappyLittleMoron nods...

<Mitch> Quietly. "Hi, Shin..." Then as Diana comes in, "Tomodachi..."

* AriaStormsinger glows a little blue, wings appearing, and floats herself up to perch on the pillow, watching over teh room.

<Wing> *prefers standing*

* Kameko looks up at him

<Kameko> I'm already here. Want some popcorn?

* Mitch greets people in the usual fashion if it becomes appropriate, to save space

* Kameko holds the bowl up for him

* Shingami doesnt nesaceraly have a choice on weither to sit or stand just kinda.. is

* Diana smiles a little and nods to Mitch*

* Klork heads over to the door of the asylum, shaking his head

* AriaStormsinger winks down at Klork.

<Klork> THanks..

<Klork> I'll wait for Mondo n' Cala...you guys just..hang out til' they get here..

<Kameko> Sure... *lowers it a bit, then sighs, shaking her head and munching* .o0(Just tryin' ta be nice..)

* HappyLittleMoron pats Kame on the shoulder lightly

* Mitch is already halfway through his beer... he toys with it, rolling it between his upper hands, lower leaning against his knees

<AriaStormsinger> *calls down* Hey HLM?

* Klork leans against the wall next to the main door, waiting, murmuring things he wants to say as if practicing

* HappyLittleMoron blinks and looks up* Yeah...?

<AriaStormsinger> Is Moni coming to the meeting?

* Kameko smiles at 'Mo, setting the bowl between them while they wait

* HappyLittleMoron blinks a little* Uh...y'know...I have no idea where Moni is...

* AriaStormsinger looks worried. "Which one's her room?"

* Diana just kinda curls up in the chair*

<HappyLittleMoron> Uhm...*gives Aria the room number..*

<AriaStormsinger> Okay. *hops down and runs upstairs*

* Klork paces, waiting for Mondo n' Cala still

<AriaStormsinger> *Comes back a minute later, shakes her head at HLM, and glides back to her eyrie*

* Mondo_Gecko can be seen walking up the street cloak on, the hood up, looking sort of like the grim reaper or something, but with his head down you can't really tell what he is

* HappyLittleMoron blinks..* Gah...hope she's ok...*kinda sinks back in the chair, brows knitting lightly*

* Klork isn't looking out the windows, too lost in thought

<Klork> <vqw> God I hope things work out right..

* Calantha is at his side, her hands in the pockets of her jeans, which drag a little on the ground as she walks

* Klork paces still, rubbing at his upper arms and staring at the ceiling, still murmurig

* Mondo_Gecko comes to the door

<Mondo_Gecko> *w* stay close to me

<Calantha> *w* count on it

<Kameko> Calm down, Klork..at least until everyone gets here...

* Klork glances at Kame..blinking..then sighs, shaking his head..

* Mondo_Gecko rings the bell

<Shingami> (( well here goes.. something))

* Klork jumps..then sighs, opening the door

* HappyLittleMoron looks up at the toll of the bell

<Klork> Hey...*sighs shakily, holding his hand out* Thank you ... for coming that is.. here's hoping for bein' civil, k?

* Klork looks up at both of them, the look on his face saying that he means what he says

* Mondo_Gecko slowly extends a hand, looking suspicious

* Mondo_Gecko shakes his hand, still not looking up, not showing his face

* Klork shakes it briefly

<Klork> C'mon in..we're all in the sparring room. No weapons, I've told everybody that.

<Mondo_Gecko> ....

<Mondo_Gecko> you garantee Cala's saftey

* Klork pauses, looking up

<Klork> Aria has offered to use her magic if temper's flare, Mondo. We're talking. Nothing more.

* Mondo_Gecko nods

* Mondo_Gecko pulls out his dagger and hands it Klork

* Klork nods, taking it and setting it on the table

<Klork> It'll be here for you when things are over...thank you..

<Klork> I--*sighs, rubbing his back* For sakes of trying to keep things civil, you n' Cala have chairs that are opposite of Mitch.

* Calantha raises a brow at Mondo's protectiveness, then just watches

* Mondo_Gecko nods

* Calantha nods

<Klork> C'mon .. *turns, heading into the sparring room*

* Klork walks in, rubbing at his arm idly as he takes a seat, the two next to him open for Mondo n' Cala..

* Mondo_Gecko follows..

* HappyLittleMoron looks over at Klork, offering a small smile

* Calantha follows as well, staying close

* AriaStormsinger watches wide-eyed

* Kameko just sits on the floor near the doorway, waving to Mondo as he comes in, smiling at him since she has NO clue of anything that's happened <G> Just knows she hasn't seen him in a while.

* Shingami waves smiling widly

<Wing>  ...

* Klork offers one back, letting out a drawn out sigh before clearing his throat

* Mondo_Gecko walks into the room, looking up from under his hood, trying to get a look at who's here..feeling like he might be on trial

* HappyLittleMoron nods a little, lacing her fingers over her belly..

<Klork> Okay .. *sits up* I got a few rules for this meetin'..

* Calantha looks around at the faces, staying quiet, her hands hidden up in her sleeves as she sits

* Diana just quietly watches through her shades*

<Mondo_Gecko> .oO(Klork..HLM...Shin....I think that was the chick with the green hair...Mitch...Diana...)

<Klork> Okay .. *sits up* I got a few rules for this meetin'.. first off -- no weapons.

<Shingami> {{ lighten up oniichan..}}

<Wing> {{ hn...}}

* Kameko munches her popcorn, sharing with 'Mo

* Mitch looks up as Mondo and Calantha enter, and a pair of knuckles whiten, but he doesn't tense, doesn't flinch... he knew it was coming

* HappyLittleMoron doesn't eat much, just y'know...a lil'...'n stuff <G>

<Klork> Secondly, this is to be civil. To TALK. If things start to flare, Aria has offered to use her powers to calm people.

<Klork> I feel we all have a right to know that. Mo', if I lose my temper, you tell Aria to calm me, ok?

* AriaStormsinger nods, nervously, then shakes herself and gives a confident smile.

* HappyLittleMoron nods* Sure, love..

<AriaStormsinger> It's only temporary.

* Klork nods..

<Klork> Ok..there are a lot of reasons I've called this meeting...I want everybody to know that I am by no means taking sides on this ..

* Kameko nods, one hand on her now swelling belly and the other in the popcorn bowl <G>

* Mitch listens quietly, watching Klork and occasionally taking a sip of his beer.

<Klork> Um..*rubs at the back of his head nervously* There's pop and chips if anybody needs to do something to keep focused..

<Klork> Anyway...everybody knows that we have a lot of problems here .. I think we can all agree on that.

<Klork> I feel that, we have enough problems going on with outsiders .. meaning people like Erwyl, Teirnan .. those sorts.. that we don't need inner problems on top of them.

* Mondo_Gecko doesn't touch any food...keeps his head down and his hands hidden under the cloak, wrapped around his body...silly Mondo, trying to hide... his tail is poking out the bottom and if carefully watched betrays all his emotions..the tip twitching a little

* Klork sighs, glancing around the room

<Klork> I think we're all aware of what happened during the course of this week ..

<Mitch> .oO(Really? I'm not.)

* HappyLittleMoron bites her lip a little and nods slowly..

* Calantha crosses her arms, the sleeves hanging over her hands, watching Klork, glancing around the room from time to time, and at Mondo

<Klork> So I'm not going to repeat anything ... we don't need to hear who's side and who's excuses or reasons for doing this or that .. we're all aware of it.

<Klork> But I think, that also, we're all adults or close to it.

<Klork> SO .. I think that we should discuss it like that. Adults.

* Mitch nods slowly, looking down at his hands.

<Klork> No more of this..talkin' behind people's backs or rumors .. we ALL know what the hell it's like to be an outcast in one way or another. Of all places, we shouldn't feel that way here.

<Klork> This place was opened FOR the outcasts ... for people who have nowhere else to go.

<AriaStormsinger> .o0(Outcasts...?)

* HappyLittleMoron noddles..

* Kameko just nods as she listens

<Klork> And I think that, with all that is going on .. we're forgetting it's purpose.

<Klork> Now...granted, I'm not saying we all need to get along like some fairy tale either..

<Klork> But we should at least be able to try and settle our differences...nothing is going to come of fighting..physical or vocal. just a shit load of hurt feelings..

<Klork> So, to get to the point .. I'm going to go around .. I want every body to speak their word that wants to ..

* HappyLittleMoron blinks a lil' and nods lightly

<Klork> Just remember to try n' be civil. That's all I gotta say..*leans back, folding his hands in his lap*

* Kameko just kinda smirks, chomping more popcorn

* Kameko looks around, then clears her throat a bit

<Kameko> I think..that means someone is supposed to speak up...?

* AriaStormsinger looks at Kame

* HappyLittleMoron looks to Kame and grins a lil'

* Mitch sure as hell isn't going to - he didn't expect to be talking... he glances up at Kameko, then looks down again.

<Kameko> I, personally, have been busy, so I honestly DON'T know what went on. But I really don't care.

<Kameko> Everyone here is a friend of mine unless I have been given STRONG reason for them not to be. At the moment, no one has given me PERSONALLY any reason not to like them.

* Klork leans forward, watching Kame quietly

<Kameko> BUT..I can't say that wouldn't change if something came up.

* HappyLittleMoron nods a little...

<Kameko> ANYWAY..I'm just the happy pregnant lawn-mower head. So anybody else who cares to talk, feel free, or I'll ramble all night.

* Mondo_Gecko 's tail sways a little

* Kameko smirks, popping more popcorn in her mouth

<Mitch> .oO(...damn water heater.)

* Klork blinks, looking around .. hoping to God somebody else speaks..

<Kameko> OH..and Shin..?

<Shingami> eh?

<Kameko> I owe you a bag of coffee. Here. *reaches into her coat, pulling a big bag of coffee out and tossing it to her* I took some of yours last night now knowing it was yours.

<Kameko> Klork..kinda told me. SO..I'm paying you back. <G>

* Klork sighs, then looks over at Mondo..

* Shingami catches it.. and.. wing takes it

<Shingami> hey

<Wing> .. no caffeene for you

* Mondo_Gecko stays absolutly silent, and hidden, thinking he's betraying no emotion

* AriaStormsinger raises her hand. "I have a question."

<HappyLittleMoron> ...yeah?

<Klork> Ok, change of plans. I'm gonna start over here. Mondo, you've got a lot on your mind, what do you want to say...?

* Mitch looks over at Aria...

* Klork pauses, looking up at Aria

* Mitch blinks, glancing between Klork and Mondo

* AriaStormsinger looks at HLM. "Is Mitch or Mondo or Cala going to be kicked out?"

* HappyLittleMoron arches a brow, looking up at Aria..

* HappyLittleMoron sighs* Let's let everyone speak their peace, heh?

* Kameko blinkblinks, not having known things had gotten that bad, eyes a bit wide

* Klork nods ...

<AriaStormsinger> Because if we can all talk this out,

<AriaStormsinger> that means it would be okay to have everyone still here, like before?

<HappyLittleMoron> Aria...

* HappyLittleMoron rubs her temples

* AriaStormsinger looks at Mitch, then Cala and Mondo.

* Mitch just looks down, clasping hands around the bottle.

<Mondo_Gecko> .oO(feelings? do I have feelings anymore? )

* Klork shakes his head to HLM, pinching his lips before speaking* It's a valid question .. and it's possible, Aria .. it just depends on if people decide to speak ..

<Wing> Something liek this requires time to pass over. so everyone can adjsut and rethink thier situations

* HappyLittleMoron nods to Klork* What he said...

* Calantha glances between HLM and Aria, then at Klork

* AriaStormsinger nods.

* Klork nods ...

<AriaStormsinger> You're all still my friends. Whatever happens.

* Kameko nods to Shin

<Kameko> But also..you can't wait for things to just "get better." TRUST me..it makes it uglier.

<Klork> That's true, Wing .. but I'd like to make a start. To let everybody know that not everybody is against them.

<Kameko> Getting it out of the way and letting every party know what the other feels helps ALOT..

<Shingami> As annoying as my brother seems to be he is right... so is kame.. butthis brings a point i wanna make

* Klork nods, looking at Shin

* HappyLittleMoron nods a little...just listening for now, as does Diana..

* Kameko offers the bowl over to Diana, eyes asking if she wants any

* AriaStormsinger watches.

<Shingami> When wing and i got here it was jsut us it seemed.. soon we met a lot of other people including mondo. Everyone here is like famil to me.. and family is really importat

* Diana shakes her head a little to Kame, giving her a small smile*

* Klork nods in agreement..

<Shingami> Families hav efun, we gt into trouble ahve our problems squabbles and fights.. but it never brakes the bonds of family.

<Shingami> Mondo is like a big brother to me

<Shingami> Mitch.. well he means a lot more to me then i am willing to say.

* Kameko shrugs, smiling back and offering some to anyone around the room by simply holding it up, figuring if anyone wants any they'll kinda wave her down and she'll pass it there way

<Shingami> Cala seriously rocks as a friend though i dont nwo ehr a lot but thats besides the point

<Shingami> I firgive all of them for whats hapend.. they know they fucked up.. and accept it i hope

* Klork nods, resting his hands on his knees as he listens

<Shingami> I also hope that like the Adults we are suppsoed t be. adn the family we are trying to be we can forgive but nto forget.. and learn from this

* Mitch exhales slowly, and looks up.

<Shingami> otherwise this entire thign wor work

<Wing> not everyoen ahs to liek everyone else either.. happens with siblings

* Klork chuckles quietly, nodding

<Wing> .. i also forgive them.. but do not condone their actions

<Klork> Keelin and Kevley make a great example there..so do you two at times..

<Wing> haihai

* Kameko sighs .. seeing no hands wave at the offer of buttered popcorn, dropping the bowl back into her lap to munch

<Mitch> "...I guess I need to, y'know, follow up on that."

* Shingami and her bro shut up

* Klork glances over at Mitch, seeming a little relaxed now that people are finally speaking

* Kameko looks over to Mitch now that the attention has shifted

<HappyLittleMoron> The different personalities conflicting and all that...

<HappyLittleMoron> If ya don't get too carried away with the anger an' talk about it instead o' outright fightin' we'll all come out alive and stronger...

* Mitch takes a hefty swig of the beer before continuing. "This place is like a family. I'm not a part of it. I... I got here, and I thought it was... it's not just an apartment building, though. It's a people." He chuckles, nervously. "It's not just a rent, it's a way of life."

* Diana smirks lightly and nods a lil'...*

* Kameko furrows her brow, shaking her head

<Mitch> "I've made some people happy, I've pissed others off... I don't know everything that's happened, I don't understand how things are here. Or why they're the way they are now."

* Klork nods, watching quietly

<Kameko> Mitch..I know I just met ya last night and all..but, people here are kinda accepted as family when they come. It's why when something DOES go wrong, it hurts more than usual.. So..you ARE part of it..okay? I wouldn't have helped ya if you weren't..

<Mitch> "I've tried to do people right, and I know I haven't always done the best job at that. But I never wanted to hurt anyone." He looks over at Mondo. "I didn't want enemies. I don't see anyone here who's beneath me."

* Kameko erks, realizing she was butting in and flushes...shutting up

* Mitch nods slowly to Kameko, his lip twitching.

* Klork folds his hands in his lap, leaning back a little as he listens

* AriaStormsinger watches intensely.

* Shingami abcently nibbles on her lower lip

<Mitch> "I... I dunno what I want to say." He shakes his head slowly. "I'm hoping that I've still got a place here. I'm hoping that everyone still has a place here. I don't want to give it up and I don't want anyone else to have to give it up."

* Diana listens, watching...*

<Klork> 'Far as I'm concerned, we all have a place here currently. I'd like to keep it that way too ...

<Mitch> "...I guess I'm out of words. But to the people I've hurt, big or small... gomen nasai. I'm sorry."

* Kameko does the same as Diana, honestly interested in hearing what people have to say

* Calantha watches Mitch, her arms still crossed

* Diana nods a little* Ne...part of the problem was failure to listen...people twisted words into what they wanted to hear...

* Calantha just watches, then nods at Diana's comment

* Kameko nods, just listening 

* Klork nods in agreement with Diana

* Mitch takes up the IC torch, looking over at Diana and taking this in.

<Diana> Also...Mondo had a bit of a point with the gossip and such...demo...there should also be a bit more temper control...*shakes her head* There was a great deal of overreaction as well...

* Klork nods ..

<Klork> I agree .. some unnecessary things occured .. that probably could have been solved if we had communicated in the first place..

<Wing> sometimes emotions get in the way. when tryint to seek the truth. if you cant handle a situation you shouldnt stay there...

<Shingami> This coming from Mr monotone...

* Diana nods* Hai...less assumption and more listening to what's actually being said...

* Klork chuckles quietly, nodding a little

<Shingami> Truth is the ultimate goal. .knwo where your coming from and where somethign came from in the first palce

<Klork> I agree, Shin..*nods..*

* Mitch rubs his neck, watching Shin.

<HappyLittleMoron> Yep...

<Calantha> And not argue when the person tries to give the true answer..

* Calantha goes quiet again

<Shingami> if nto in person in letters, notes art whatever

<Shingami> Very true..

* Klork sighs, rubbing the back of his head with a small nod

<Shingami> suck it up and ask or well get sutck in a violent neverending loop that will drive us al nutty

<Shingami> then we will al ed up in a REAL asylum

* Kameko wonders what the heck all happened that has conversations like this being brought up, but isn't about to ask, just listens <G>

<Wing> they get the point

<Shingami> *sigh*

<Mondo_Gecko> .oO(I'm half way there )

<Mitch> .oO(We haven't?)

<Klork> I think that all falls under communication.

* HappyLittleMoron nods...

<Klork> If you have a problem with somebody, go straight to them, not to the source of a rumor or somebody who says they know what's going on.

* Shingami tries not to hum conjunction conjunction whats your function

<HappyLittleMoron> ..heh...and do it calmly...

<Klork> Results happen if the two having the problem talk to each other. Gophers or run-betweens don't clarify things correctly.

<HappyLittleMoron> No screaming right off the bat..

* Kameko nodnodnods at 'Mo's comment

<Kameko> Calm and no screaming is VERY good..

* AriaStormsinger nods

<Shingami> (( if your head is out o fyour ass people can hear you better... ))

<Klork> That and the gophers or run-betweens get involved in something that they may or may not want to be involved in..and that can really serve up raw emotions.

<Calantha> .oO(Insulting the person right from the start isn't the way to go, either..)

* HappyLittleMoron nods...* Very true...

* Klork sighs, quieting for a moment before he looks at Cala and Mondo

<Kameko> Or they get their own oppinions and become a third time bomb

* HappyLittleMoron looks to them too...

<Klork> Mondo .. Cala ... we're all willing to talk .. to forgive ... be forgiven ... we want to know your opinions.

<Shingami> should also be careful how you communicate... soem of us are blunt to the point of rudeness sometimes...

<Mondo_Gecko> *w* what should I say? words can't change what I did

<Mondo_Gecko> I lost my temper..

<Klork> *nods to shin, still watching the two beside him* We're not trying to change what you did, Mondo.

<Mondo_Gecko> I shouldn't have...and now I'm paying the price

<Kameko> We're just asking you to tell us what's on your mind...

* Klork nods, shrugging a bit

<Kameko> It'll help the hurt inside, and the anger. Trust me. I vent alot. <G>

* Diana nods quietly*

<Mondo_Gecko> *w* I'm sorry....I'm sorry I lost the temper...and I'm sorry I broke the door..

<Kameko> You broke the door?! Duuuuudde...

* Klork nods, watching quietly, not wanting to interrupt now that he's speaking..

* Klork gives Kame a look..

* Kameko erks, flushing again, stuffing popcorn into her face to shut up, honestly having thought that was kinda cool <G>

* Mondo_Gecko looks down

<Kameko> I..didn't mean that..I..it's cool--well..*shuts up again, brighter red* <w> Sorry..

* Klork looks between Mitch and Mondo, quiet for a few moments..

<Klork> *after a while, he finally speaks up* Seems...that you've both apologized...Mitch .. Mondo .. question that everybody wants to know is .. can you forgive each other..?

* HappyLittleMoron watches them...

* The entire Asylum watches them...

<Mitch> .oO(He isn't sorry he beat the shit out of me... but... hell, he apologized for his temper. I hope he's figured out the two are related.)

<Mondo_Gecko> .oO(can I? ....have I ever forgiven anyone? .....maybe that's my problem.....I never have...my whole life I've spent building up anger over things...shrugging things off that pissed me off until blew up)

* Klork watches .. waiting quietly ..

<Mondo_Gecko> *w* yea

<Mitch> Quietly. "Yeah. Daiben okoru."

* Diana grins a little...*

* Klork smirks..

<Klork> <q> Then I think I can forgive you both too ..

* AriaStormsinger SMILES happily.

<Shingami> demo..

* Klork looks up, over and around...

<Klork> Anybody else..?

* Kameko yays, hugging 'Mo, then pauses

* Mitch looks at Shingami.

<Shingami> Cala... can you forgive mitch?

* HappyLittleMoron nods a little and hehs...then blinks, hugging back

<Kameko> Uhm..Klork..? What about you?

* Klork blinks..holding up a hand...looking at Cala to wait to see if she responds to Shins question

<Shingami> I know hes a serious thorn in your side it seems but could you evenr consider it?

* Kameko oops's...nodding and holding a hand over her mouth

* HappyLittleMoron looks over...suspense builds...tension, blahblahblah

* Shingami fixes her stare on Cala

<Calantha> Yeah..

* Klork visably relaxes

* HappyLittleMoron nods lightly..

<Shingami> HLM?... would it be possable for the two of them to regain thier resicende here at the asylum?

<Calantha> I'm sorry things got so out of hand, but when things get repeated, they get opinionated. Anyone knows that much..

* Klork nods, rubbing at his arms

<Klork> That's why I called this meeting .. so things wouldn't get repeated..

<HappyLittleMoron> Well...on a trial basis...one talk doesn't solve all the problems...

<Klork> We know what to look for now..*pauses..nodding a bit to HLM*

<Mondo_Gecko> .oO( two of them? Mitch got kicked out? ..or Cala?)

* Mitch looks to Mrs. Happy...

* Klork glances at the two of them

<HappyLittleMoron> However...if fighting breaks out again...I will be seriously unhappy about it...

<Klork> Thats' if you want to stay ... we're not forcing you .. but we'd like to see you back ..

* Diana nods a little* Hai...what Klork said..

* AriaStormsinger nods fervently

<Shingami> It would really rock if ya did

* Klorks' random chars nod too*

<Mondo_Gecko> .oO(do I wanna come back here...that's the question....)

* HappyLittleMoron 's deffened from the rattling...

* Mitch swaps off beers

<Wing> i am sure you do not ahve to decide upon it now

* Klork watches Mondo, waiting quietly..blinking before nodding to Wing

<Klork> <q> Just , know that you are welcome..?

* HappyLittleMoron nods a lil'

<Wing> .. it all depends on what you feel

* Calantha watches Mondo a little, then looks around a bit

<Mondo_Gecko> .oO( Do I belong here? ...do I have friends? ...I have Shin...but I have independance outside the walls.. and I don't have to worry if' I'm only being tolerated)

<Mondo_Gecko> *w* I dunno

* Kameko clears her throat a little

* Klork nods, brows furrowing a little..

<Klork> <q> Fair enough ...

<Kameko> Even...if you decide not to stay here..it doesn't change the fact that you're welcome...okay, Mondo?

* HappyLittleMoron nods..

* Kameko smiles

* Klork nods in agreement w/ Kame

* Mondo_Gecko nods

<Kameko> I, for one, wouldn't mind seeing your face in here once in a while. You saved my butt before, remember? "Amish porno..?"

* Kameko winks at him

* AriaStormsinger claps her hands softly

* Klork blinks, then coughs, laughing, covering his mouth

* HappyLittleMoron coughs at that one, smirking

<Klork> Ah, damn. *smiles a little* Ain't nobody I'd rather scare at halloween with my headless trick either. I can't get the same reaction out of anybody else.

* Mondo_Gecko smiles a little

* Mondo_Gecko looks up slowly

<Shingami> One mroe thing.. we should respect ppl's choices and wishes. of soemoe wants to be left alone.. do what they ask. just somethign that i REALLY have ot mention...

<Mondo_Gecko> *his face his covered in tears*

* Mitch just blinks and looks over... involuntarily, "Amish WHAT?"

* Shingami laughs

* Klork nods...blinking a bit

* Kameko awwws! the pregnant woman in her taking over and going over to hug Mondo, offering him some of her bowl of popcorn

* HappyLittleMoron laughs...

<Shingami> ehehe.. ow.. hehehe

* Klork slowly shakes his head

* Mondo_Gecko sniffs, more tears falling down his face and hugs back

<Klork> You dont wanna know, Mitch..*smirks* But you will in time.

<Wing> .. baka... Mondo if she cinsiders you a brother then you are to me..

<Shingami> doesnt meand you can double team on me!

<Mondo_Gecko> *w* thankyou

<Wing> . yes it does

<Shingami> oh damn..

* Klork cackles, offering a hand to Mondo

<Mitch> .oO(Note to self. A- no. No. I DON'T want to know. I really, really don't.)

* Diana smiles lightly, reaching over to pat Mondo's shoulder lightly, not really able to do much else*

* Kameko smiles, pulling back, handing him a tissue before going back to sit over by 'Mo

* Mondo_Gecko reaches out carefully and takes it

* Klork squeezes his hand lightly

<Klork> We missed ya, Shawn.

* Mondo_Gecko balls it and whipes his eyes

<Mondo_Gecko> *w* Klork?

<Klork> Yea..?

<Mondo_Gecko> *w* ...do you always hold hands with guys?

* Mondo_Gecko bites his lip, waiting for it...

* Diana laughs!!*

* Mondo_Gecko grins

* Kameko giggles

* Klork gives him a thoughtful look..

* Diana winces...chuckling softly between "itai"s*

<HappyLittleMoron> I'd HOPE not...

<Klork> Only if they have nicer hair than me. You should feel damn proud right now knowing that.

* Mitch watches Kameko, still disturbed by the Amish Porno comment, and catches sight of Mondo...

<Mondo_Gecko> ohh..

<Shingami> you ok mondo?

<Mondo_Gecko> well..

<Mondo_Gecko> you'd better let go then

* Klork lets go, chuckling

* HappyLittleMoron blinks...then hides behind her wings with a snicker

* Klork blinks

* Mondo_Gecko reaches up and pushes his hood all the way down

<Shingami> {{ give him a hug ya dope}}

* Klork blinks, watching quietly ...

<Wing> {{ why?}}

<Mondo_Gecko> *his hair is alot shorter and it looks pretty dirty..it's only to his chest now

<Mitch> Muttered. "That's what I'm afraid of."

* Kameko blinkblinks, then blinks again

<Kameko> You cut your hair!!

<Shingami> {[ ill call ou scout smoochie}}

* Mondo_Gecko doesn't have his nosering in either

* Diana blinks* Ne...you got rid of all the hardwear?

<Wing> {{...you dont have to}}*goes ovr giving mondo a brief hug*

<Klork> Hey .. Mondo .. looks ain't everythin. And your hair'd still kick my hairs ass if you took ashower..

<Mondo_Gecko> I..was getting ready to live on teh streets

<Mondo_Gecko> ...you can't have long hair out there...it just gets tangled

* Klork nods, watching ..

* Kameko just watches, all happy n' stuffs...but knows that Klork still needs to talk, eyeing him pointedly

* Shingami unparks.. goin over to cala

<Klork> True that .. but, well, our shower's open for ya if need be..

* Shingami offers a hand

* Klork leans back, sighing in a bit of relief....oO(Thank GOD that went over well..)

<AriaStormsinger> *nods*

* Kameko clears her throat..looking at Klork again

<Shingami> thats my bro for ya

* Mitch watches the group hug with a fairly mixed expression

* Klork blinks, looking at Kame..* {{What..??}}

<Wing> oi

<Kameko> {{You gonna talk, too, bro?}}

* Kameko gets up, going over and hugging Mitch for the heck of it

* AriaStormsinger stays perched, just watching over happily

<Klork> {{Nah .. later .. things are going well right now}}

* Mondo_Gecko picks at a ragged tip of a missing claw

<Kameko> Heh, you looked like you needed one, too. And what can I say, I'm all huggable and round n' stuff. And pregnant, so don't argue. <G>

* HappyLittleMoron chuckles softly

* Mitch hesitates, thinks briefly before deciding "what the hell" and stands giving Kameko a hug in return. "I don't argue with women here... I like waking up in the same shape. I'm used to it."

* Calantha blinks, taking Shin's hand..

<Kameko> {{*sighs* Silly you...your thoughts count, too... but I of all people know I can't force it on you.}}

* HappyLittleMoron snickers

* Shingami does a 180.. and heads over to mitch

* Kameko chuckles

<Kameko> I knew there were smart men out there. *winks, pulling back* Most of them here. Most are just also very STUBBORN.

* Kameko smiles, moving out of Shin's way

<Kameko> Erk..don't want you to feel you need to run me over. *winks at her*

* Diana looks over at Mondo and smiles a little, squeezing his shoulder* <q> It's good to have you back, Mondo...I didn't heal you for nothing...

<Mitch> "Plead the fifth. Hi, Shin... glad things worked out..."

* Mondo_Gecko sniffs

<Mondo_Gecko> *w* thanks..

* Klork nods, slowly standing and going over to HLM to hug her* {{Kame ... it's a different subject. I've said what I wanted here...*smirks* And I'm glad things are looking better for a change..}}

* Kameko blinks .. watchind Diana and Mondo .. and then kinda goes back over to her bowl

* Diana nods..*

* HappyLittleMoron looks up and grins, hugging Klork back

<Kameko> {{I know it's different.. just thought we could do it while everyone was here. Not pushin' you though. I know better. <G>}}

<Klork> {{Goodgood...*smirks*}}

* Shingami waves a hand infront of mitch

* Klork relaxes, just hugging Mo* <q> Thank God that went over well...I was scared shitless I'd hafta call an ambulance..

<Shingami> you alive in there?

* HappyLittleMoron nods, holding him, wrapping her wings around him as well* <w> Me, too...

* Diana smiles a little and curls back into the chair, kinda hurting too bad to be any more expressive*

* Shingami blinks parked besides mitch wonderin if he still there

<Shingami> earth to mitch... you in there

* Calantha glances up at Mondo, then around the room, still unsure

* Mondo_Gecko leans over to Cala

* HappyLittleMoron strokes Klork's back and kisses his cheek lightly

<Mondo_Gecko> *w* think we should get out of here? or stay for a while?

* Klork rests his head on her shoulder

* Kameko hops up, waddling out to the kitchen

* Calantha shrugs a little

* Mitch just quietly fades into the background, slipping out into the kitchen and dropping the empty bottle into the returnable bin

<Klork> <q> whew..

<Kameko> I'm gonna make us all a HUGE chinese food dinner! Anybody hungry?!

<Calantha> *w* I'd like to get out of here for a while.. you do what you want

* AriaStormsinger watches Mitch go

* Diana just sits there quietly, grinning lightly* Ne...Chinese food sounds wonderful...

* Klork chuckles

* HappyLittleMoron chuckles softly

* Kameko salutes to Diana

<Klork> And Kame's mind jumps right to the food..sounds fine, Kame..

<Kameko> Any requests, m'lady??

<Kameko> Hey..*pouts, stopping to look at him* ...I'm hungry..

* Mitch glances up as Kameko comes in... about to slip out again and disappear elsewhere, he blinks as food is mentioned and TOTALLY shifts modes. "Sounds good..."

* Diana shakes her head a little* Iie...anything sounds good...

* Klork blinks, smirking

<Klork> Was kiddin'..anything bird sounds good to me .

* Kameko smirks, looking up at him

* Mondo_Gecko nods

* HappyLittleMoron pauses..* Me, too...*eyes Klork* All your fault

<Kameko> Good. *looks over at Mitch* Any requests? Makin' Chinese.

<Mondo_Gecko> *w* ok

<Mondo_Gecko> .oO( ...I wish I could stay....)

* Mondo_Gecko stands

* Kameko gets pans n' stuff out..blipping out momentarily to go grab her deep fryer, then comes back instantly to hear his answer

<Mitch> "Anything but ramen. Just... anything but."

* Kameko smirks

<Kameko> Chinese style bar-b-q chicken.. pork fried rice..fried beef won-tons.. Diana! You have to help me on the stirfry! Mine's NUTHIN' compared to yours!

* Calantha stands and heads toward the door

* Calantha slips outside, heading down the street

* Shingami looks at kamako

* Mondo_Gecko stops at the door, looking back saddly

* Diana...waveled to Mondo and Cala...since the controller went too see what was burning...*

<Diana> {{You're always welcomed back, Mondo...}}

* Klork looks up, waving a little at Mondo...twisting his mouth to the side

<Shingami> Kame.... amish porn?... is that like a.. pregger person thing or am i missing somethign compleatly different that i dont wana know about

* Kameko goes about making dinner...ladeeda...smells all good n' stuffs... OH..and she' smaking some GRUB egg-flower soup, too

* Mondo_Gecko picks up the dagger on the table

* Mitch is just in the kitchen, not getting in the way

<Diana> {{You're still my friend...alright...?}}

<Mondo_Gecko> *w* bye Klork...thanks man

<Mondo_Gecko> :::thanks Diana:::

* Klork nods

<Diana> {{Nandemonai...}}

<Klork> Anytime, Mondo ..

* HappyLittleMoron waffles to Mondo, nodding a little...

<Mondo_Gecko> :::I still don't speak japanese:::

* Mondo_Gecko sighs and slips out the door

<Kameko> Heh..Amish porn. It's a clothes on thing where they just look at each other all steamy like.. Oh, and the occasional.. "Oh Ezekiel.." or "Mary, unlace thy bonnet!" comes forth. <G>

<Diana> {{Err...means...don't worry about it basically...sorry}}

* Kameko smirks, making the dinner as she answers

* Calantha is down the street, walking.. not realizing he was coming with her

* Klork snorts, blinking at Kame a bit

<Klork> Egads...

<Klork> Not amish porno again...

<Mondo_Gecko> Hey...Cala...wait up

* Mondo_Gecko runs up to her

* Calantha stops, blinks..

* Mitch just kind of listens in on the Amish porn thing, rubbing his neck.

<Calantha> ..hi.. didn't realize you were coming..

<Mondo_Gecko> ....you came with me ..

<Mondo_Gecko> unless you were kicked out

* Calantha shrugs

<Calantha> Didn't stay around to find out if I was..

* Mondo_Gecko smiles a little

<Mondo_Gecko> cause they kicked me out?

<Calantha> Yeah.. that too *smiles a little*

<Wing> .. food...

<Shingami> your so easy oniichan

* AriaStormsinger climbs off the weight equipment thoughtfully, pulling the pillow down behind her.

* Shingami wheels into kitchen n serch of pain killers

* AriaStormsinger comes into the kitchen, eyes a little glazed, pillow dragging, comes and stands next to Mitch, watching the room.

* Kameko looks over her shoulder at Shin

<Kameko> Heya Shin..you need sumthin'?

<Shingami> kame.. any asprin?

<Shingami> or something? anything?..

* Kameko oohs, shaking her head, grinning and pulling out her purse

<Kameko> No, I got something better, though.

* HappyLittleMoron heh...wanders into the kitchen then to join them <G>

* Klork stretches

* Kameko pulls out a small bottle, then a small bar of chocolate, handing them both to Shin

<Klork> Call me when it's ready..? *taps his head lightly..turning and heading up the stairs to the roof to get some air*

<Kameko> Drink the bottle first. Natural pain killers from my family. Knocks out any pain within ten seconds. Tastes and smells nastier than hell, though, but the chocolate is for that. It disolves both instantly.

<Kameko> Promise..it'll work.

<AriaStormsinger> Uh oh. *waggles brows at Shin.*

* Kameko smiles.

<Wing> you going mondo?

<Calantha> You coulda stayed back there if you wanted.. I'm just not in the mood to be in a crowd is all..

<Mondo_Gecko> ...you left with me...

<Mondo_Gecko> it's not right that I stay behind now

* HappyLittleMoron nods a little* I'll be down with him, k, Kame? *follows Klork*

<Calantha> Sure it is.. they're your friends..

<Mondo_Gecko> ....your my friend two..

<Mondo_Gecko> I know it sucks being alone

* Klork sits on the ledge of the roof, just getting some air, not knowing HLM followed him

* Mitch is, umm... in the bathroom, 'cause his controller had to deal with RL stuff

* Calantha shrugs

* HappyLittleMoron pauses by the doorway....then heads over* Mind company...?

<Calantha> It doesn't bother me that much.. kinda like to be alone once in a while..

* AriaStormsinger comes up to Kame

<Mondo_Gecko> oh..

<AriaStormsinger> Can I help?

* Klork blinks, looking up..

<Mondo_Gecko> .oO(how can anyone enjoy beind alone?)

<AriaStormsinger> Everything smells really good.

<Klork> Hey, Mo..sures...

<Mondo_Gecko> well...

<Mondo_Gecko> I'll go back then

* HappyLittleMoron grins a little lopsidedly, leaning on the ledge by him* That was a wonderful idea, love...

<Calantha> Go have fun.. I'll see you later. Just gonna go hang out at my theater for a while, I think..

* Mondo_Gecko nods

<Mondo_Gecko> ..sure..

* Klork blinks, glancing over his shoulder at her

* Mondo_Gecko turns and walks back, his head down....very confused about this

<Klork> Ya think ... ?

<Calantha> ..something wrong?

* Calantha blinks..

* HappyLittleMoron nods* Veddy...

* Kameko looks up at Aria, smiling

* Klork smirks a little, blowing out a breath

* Mondo_Gecko shakes his head a little

<Mondo_Gecko> ...no...just thinking s'all..

<Mondo_Gecko> I'll see you later

<Kameko> Sure..if you want to put these *points to the plate of freshly made won-tons* into that little bucket in the deep-fryer, and set the timer for four minutes?

<Klork> I don't much think of grand ideas .. but I try now n' then .. glad to konw if it worked out ..

<AriaStormsinger> Okay!

<Calantha> about?

* AriaStormsinger sets about plunking won-tons into bucket.

* HappyLittleMoron nods...* It did...dunno if I woulda come up with it...

<HappyLittleMoron> ...did you have somethin' you wanted to talk about though?

* Calantha steps toward him.. now she's confused

* Klork leans back a bit, kinda stretching

* AriaStormsinger remembers the timer and looks around quickly for it

<AriaStormsinger> Kame? Where's the timer?

* Mondo_Gecko walks off

<Kameko> *doesn't look up* Little nob on teh front with the numbers? The little line just before the one that says 5.

<AriaStormsinger> Coolness!
