#HappyLittleAsylum
Session Start: Tue Apr 09 11:28:16 2002
* Diana hnns a little, slowly awakening, still in the hospital (duh)*
* Mitch is there, doodling something in a pocket notebook
* VertigoFox is walking around the asylum sort of pacing in a bit of a trance state
* Diana takes a deep breath, eyes slowly fluttering open*
* Rev...watches VF <G> Since her two big main characters are both in the hospital*
* Mitch 's rabbity Mitch-sense alerts him, and he glances over... he kinda smiles a little and stuffs the notebook in a pocket, hauling himself up and getting a cup of water from the bathroom.
* Diana reaches up to rub her brow a little, shifting the bed so she's in a sitting position*
* Mitch settles into the chair, holding out the cup wordlessly.
* VertigoFox paces around just walking ahead, and eventually back just like he only kind of knows what he wants to do. ^-^
* Diana smiles a little in thanks and accepts the cup, sipping the water* Domo...
<Rev> ...are you alright?
<Mitch> "Nandemo dai... daijoubu?"
<VertigoFox> ::jumps slightly at the sound of Rev's voice:: Oh.. I'm sorry, I didn't even notice you there...
* Rev chuckles softly* That's quite alright...
* Diana shrugs a little* Slightly better...very sore...ah...empty...*smiles thinly* Thank you so much for your kindness...
<VertigoFox> ::sits down on the floor facing Mitch.. he looks a tad pale:: So, how are you? What's up? How is everybody... ::kind of rambles off into nothingness waiting for a responce::
<Mitch> "Don't... it's the least I could do." He hesitates, rubbing his neck. "...empty?"
* Rev blinks a little* I am fine...worried for my mother...HLM, Klork and Mondo...you? *brows furrow* You seem a bit pale...
* Diana nods and taps her temple* Up here...I wish I could remember...
<VertigoFox> ::looks at himself:: Hmm... yes... yes I do. What's wrong with Your Mom, HLM, Klork and Mondo? ::looks confused and conserned::
<Mitch> "Oh. Yeah... gomen..." *leans back a little, flicking off his glasses and looking down at them* "I could tell you what I know..."
* Rev hehs a little...* My mother, Klork and Mondo were in a battle...they were all injured pretty badly and are in the hospital...my mother has lost her memory and Klork slips in and out of conciousness...HLM almost lost the children she is carrying...
* Diana nods a little, tilting her head* I would appreciate that...
<VertigoFox> ::sighs:: Holy... I can't believe... almost? I wish them the best, and the luck of the stars. Are the children ok? How are you? Are you alright? Want to talk about it?
<Mitch> "Well... you're Diana Manashevitz..." His lip twitches. "I can spell that if you want. Somewhere around twenty-two, twenty-three years old..."
<Rev> To our knowlege the little ones are alright...she simply is not allowed to move out of bed until they are born...and I...*smirks lightly* I will be fine...*shrugs a little* What of you? Anything you wish to speak of?
* Diana chuckles softly and nods as she listens...*
<VertigoFox> ::sighs:: Nothing to say. But thank you for asking...
<Mitch> "You were born somewhere upstate, in a redneck town... you had..." *turning the glasses over in his hands* "You had an abusive father... never spoke much of your mother. Something happened, an accident, that got you into aikido at an early age, and you're damn near ninja at it by now..."
* Rev nods* Of course...*leans back a little* Nothing new and exciting happeneing, hm?
<Mitch> "A few months before you would've, y'know, graduated from high school..." *glances up* "I dunno how much of this you're gonna believe, but... you were kidnapped into another reality."
* Diana nods, leaning forward a little bit, brows furrowed as she listens* Heh...I'm keeping an open miind...domo...go on...
<VertigoFox> ::smiles:: Not much new... then again, I have been kind of out of it for the last two weeks or so.. if anything did happen, I wouldn't know about it...
<Mitch> "Realities are... infinite or something. There's a, an Earth where I don't need glasses, and an Earth where you never lost your memory, and..." He shifts the glasses over to one hand, and picks up the Pratchett. "There's an Earth where I don't drop this book." *drops it* "Just made a new reality."
* Rev nods* I suppose...heh...we can only hope nothing else happens...
* Diana blinks and furrows her brow* Ah...alright...*gives him a slightly confused look*
* Mitch crouches in the chair, picking it up and setting it on the stand again. "...some of the realities get pretty weird, I guess. Things changed early enough that it's entirely different. Different people... different ways of life. Fucking weird creatures."
* Diana nods and blinnks as she listens* You have been to other realities?
<Mitch> "Just one. A place called Underhill... I'm gonna get to that later. It's one of the really out-there realities."
<Mitch> "Someone kidnapped you into one of these realities, a reality weird enough that before you learned how to step between them, you got this magic sword. You just pull it out of nowhere... I've seen you do it before. Linked to your soul or something."
* Diana nods quietly, listening...* Ahh...I wll...re-discover it later, I suppose...
<Mitch> "You got the sword, you got the ability to, to reality-hop, and you started trying to find this Earth again... there was something pulling you to it, but you didn't have enough control to just come home..."
* Rev nods* I suppose...heh...we can only hope nothing else happens...<Rev's last post to VF>
* Diana nods...*
<Vertigo_Fox> ::looks down then back up at Rev rather confused and a bit scared:: Did.. did anybody talk about me? Does anybody hate me?
<Mitch> "Somewhere along the line... there was this, y'know, elf out of Underhill. Nasty piece of work named Tiernan." He hesitates, then forges on. "He raped you... I think there might have been others. But he got you pregnant, then somehow took the child out of you..."
* Rev furrows his brows and shakes his head* Nae...nae they have not...*pauses* Why would they hate you?
<Mitch> "Some of these realities are on a different... timeline, I guess. A minute passes here, two minutes pass there. You spent three years reality-hopping, but in the reality Tiernan found, the child - Revelyn - had nineteen years..."
* Diana blinnks, furrowing her brow* Hai...
<VertigoFox> ::sighs in relief:: Oh.. I don't know... forget I mentinoned it. ^^;
<Mitch> "In those three years... well, I dunno all that happened. But at one point, there was this... okay. There was a clan of vampires that wanted you as their queen. One of them turned you into a vampire." A little hastily. "You're not one now. Well, sort of. It gets complicated."
* Diana arches a brow, slowly nodding...*
<Mitch> "After getting vamped, another clan, the Clan of the Magic Dragon... uhm... Ich. Ichi-something. I don't remember. I couldn't pronounce it when you told me. They captured you and gave you those tattoos, a power to combat the... vampireness."
* Diana nods, chewing her lip as she moves her hands over the tattoos* Hai...*furrows her brows* And...uhm...the darkhaired one who was taken from here to be with his wife...he is part of the clan too? He has tattoos like these as well...
<Mitch> "You escaped from THAT clan, and the vampire clan went and did a number on the dragon clan, before you escaped from that reality. So you're half-vampire, you keep it under wraps most of the time."
* Diana nods...*
<Mitch> He nods. "Klork? Yeah... he's your clan-brother... he shares some of the power, some of what runs through your veins. I dunno how or why, I never found out."
<Mitch> Almost as an aside. "You're also, well... half-succubus, apparently. You never told me anything about where that came from."
* Diana blinks!* Ahh...heh...I'll take your word for it...*smirks a little, kind of bewildered at all of this...*
<Mitch> "You spent three years dealing with that sort of shit... you picked up both kung fu and Japanese in that time, 'cause, y'know, a lot of people spoke it. And this ain't the first time you've had issues with memories. People've tried to control you... switched 'em around, erased some, added others, taken over your mind... most of it didn't take, I guess."
* Diana blinks and nods, brows furrowed...*
<Mitch> "Finally, you made it back to this Earth... and Mrs. Happy- uh, the pregnant woman with wings. She found you in an alley, and the two of you just hooked up, starting up an apartment building for, y'know, mutants and people with weird shit."
* Diana blinks, nodding...* Wow..
<Mitch> "Really recently... the Tiernan fuck got iced. He just showed up at the Asylum and- the Asylum, the apartment building, and got gang-mauled by everyone there. And Revelyn, your son... you found out about him, and went to Underhill, bringing him back to this reality to show him that what he'd been taught about his past was wrong."
<Mitch> .oO(Christ, it mattered then. Tell her.) "...and you broke up with Mondo a few weeks ago. You weren't sure if it was, y'know, the right thing to do. Kinda wondering."
<Diana> *furrows her brows, nodding...* Hai...
<Mitch> "So that's Diana... I've seen you fly, turn invisible, make shit lighter, see auras - you showed ME how - make shields, summon that sword thing, heal others, throw around fire and lightning, and you've probably got all SORTS of shit I ain't ever heard of."
<Mitch> "I know there's a lot of holes still... you should talk to Klork. I haven't been around for long."
* Diana nods a little...watching him* Ah...hai...I will.....*smiles a little sheepishly* It does sound rather unbelievable...
* Mitch chuckles, flicking on his glasses. "Yeah, I know. I wouldn't have believed that shit laid on me at first. But I been to Underhill... I went with you when you went after Revelyn. I saw the monsters. I've seen the magic. You'll pick it up again..."
* Diana nods a little wryly* Hai...heh...I've met Revelyn...if your stories hadn't matched up so well...I would have believed he was a brother instead of a son...even now it's stll so...strange...
<Mitch> *nods* "Trust me. That won't change."
* Diana nods a little* Hai....
<Diana> Tell me of yourself...?
<Mitch> "Uh? I'm just Mitch. Not a demon or spirit or witchy-fing-" He blinks, then chuckles. "...actually, I guess I am a witchy-fingers. Like I said, you showed me a few tricks. But I'm no one important."
* Diana chuckles softly, resting a hand over her belly lightly* Ne...I suppose we will find that out with time...
<VertigoFox> ::walks into the kitchen turns on the fosset and begins to lap watter from it before splashing it on his face and wiping it off::
* Rev hns a little and sits back on the couch, rubbing his temples*
<Mitch> "You... kinda helped me get on my feet when I dropped into the Asylum." A little wry, a little wistful. "Showed me how to be a friend, a tomodachi. And made spaghetti." His lip twitches. "You make DAMN good spaghetti, Diana. And stir-fry. And spaghetti."
<VertigoFox> ::returns and sits back on the couch:: So, how long you been around the Asylum? I've seen you a couple times.. but... well.. yeah ^^;;;
* Diana chuckles softly* Hopefully I still have those skills, ne?
* Rev blinks and looks up with a small chuckle* A few weeks at the most...
<VertigoFox> ::nods and hmms:: So you were around for Bitmod... ne?
<Mitch> "Probably. I'm gonna take you to this dojo you showed me once, once you're back on your feet... part of you's gotta remember. Maybe it'll help you remember other stuff."
<Mitch> .oO(Hey... I could probably get the sensei to drop in. What was his name? Started with... K, Ch, some sort of cchchh sound.)
* Diana nods...* Hai...*smiles* I'd appreciate that...
* Mitch smiles in return... glances down at the hand on her stomach. "You want me to call the nurse and get you some painkillers?"
* Diana shakes her head* Iie...domo...*smiles a little bewilderedly* They need to use a lot to get any of the pain to go away...I'd rather just deal with it...
<Mitch> *nods* "Okay..."
<Diana> How are the others...?
<Mitch> "Still down in observation... Mrs. Happy's doing okay. Klork's better, he came out of the coma..."
<Diana> Good...
<Rev> Ah...part of it...
<VertigoFox> ::sighs:: Ahh... hmm.. thought so...
* Rev sorta rubs the back of his neck* Ah...most of it confused me, so...*shakes his head* That and I believe I was in the bathroom getting bandaged for most of it as well...
<VertigoFox> ::smiles:: Mmm.. that's good... well... bad. But the scene out here wasn't so great...
<Rev> Ahh...*nods a little* Aye...?
<VertigoFox> ::sighs:: Aye...
* Rev nods a little* I'm sorry...
<VertigoFox> It's ok. It isn't any fault of your own.
<Mitch> "Yeah..." He rubs his neck. "I'm sorry about all this... gomen nasai. You just-" He cuts himself off with a sigh.
* Diana nods* It's alright...*blinkes* "I just..."?
<Mitch> Slowly. "...the last thing we were talking about before, before Sparky hit us again, and you... the Asylum's never quiet. There's always something going on. And we were kinda laughing about it, when I asked you what you were gonna do that night... and you said that you'd be relaxing. Just taking it easy." He flicks off the glasses again, rubbing his eyes. "And you couldn't... and this all happened..."
<Mitch> "I'm sorry you didn't get the chance. I'm sorry you couldn't relax. I'm... sorry I couldn't..." *just shakes his head*
* Diana blinks and furrows her brows, reaching out to pat his knee* Ne...it's alright...hey...I...guess these sort of things just happen...it's not your fault...
<Diana> You're here now, being a tremendouse help...take console in that...?
<Mitch> "Yeah, I know it's not my fault. And if I'd tried something stupid I'd probably be dead, I'm, y'know, I can't handle the shit you faced... but..." .oO(Why couldn't you have gotten your wish? Why couldn't things have just been quiet for one more god damn night?)
<Mitch> He nods, dredging up a half-smile from somewhere, and bumps fists with her. "Doing what I can, t-" *hesitates...* "...tomodachi."
* Diana smiles and nods, bumping fists in return* Hai...
<Mitch> .oO(...I wonder if her job's gonna come looking for her?)
<Mitch> .oO(Christ, mine sure did.)
<Mitch> "Want me to go see if Klork's up?"
* Diana smiles a little* Hai...I'd appreciate it...*runs a hand throughh her hair* Domo...
<Mitch> "Nandemo dai." He pushes himself up, stretching a little - jacket shifting curiously - and slips out, heading downstairs
* Diana blinks a little, watching him go before leaning back...and picking up Small Gods, reading it again, for the very first time! <G>*
* HappyLittleMoron 's sitting up in bed, reading to Brenna...Klork's out...
* Mitch kinda pokes his head in, and smiles, leaning against the doorframe.
* HappyLittleMoron looks up* Heyas, Mitch...how goes it? *Brenna wavies with a smile*
<Mitch> "Hi, Mrs. Happy... hi, Brenna... okay. Shaved a few minutes off the subway run..." To Brenna. "Whatcha up to?"
<Brenna> Mama's helpin' me learn ta read...*smiles* Daddie's still sleepin' tho...
* HappyLittleMoron smiles a little, smoothing the little girl's hair back..
* Mitch chuckles, remembering the guy who showed him how to read... fond memories of systemic negative reinforcement... quietly, to Mo. "Still doing better?"
* HappyLittleMoron nods a little* <q> Yeah...for both of us...he's just...exhausted...
<Mitch> *wryly* "Christ, I wonder why..." *pushes off and walks over, ostentatiously leaning over Brenna's shoulder to see what she's reading*
* HappyLittleMoron shakes her head, having no idea...Brenna's working on one of the more popular children's books...
<Mitch> "I gave Diana the short version of her past... I dunno the long version, was gonna see if... well, he's asleep and I ain't gonna wake him for that." He glances up. "Want to help fill in the details if I can get her dragged down here?"
* HappyLittleMoron nods...* Sure thing...*smiles a bit and shifts* I'd kinda like to go up there but...I had no idea how tough these nurses are *grins a bit*
* Mitch chuckles. "They said they were mutant-friendly. Probably used to arsing with Merc's type."
<HappyLittleMoron> Veeeeeeery true...man...*smirks*
<Mitch> "I'll see how long it'll take before they'll let her get wheeled around... or if nothing else, I guess I'll have her call you. There's gotta be a way to get these phones hooked up."
* HappyLittleMoron nods...* Yeah...
* Mitch slips out, probably just as Klork starts waking up :P
* Rev streatches and sighs, standing to head for the workout room...uhm...exucsing himself from VF*
<VertigoFox> ::sighs and smiles nodding in responce:: have fun.
* Doc tells Mitch, btw, whenever they find each other, Diana can't be moved for at least another two days*
* Rev strips off his shirt and starts in on the punching bag*
* Mitch heads back down to share the news...
* Mitch ponders as he walks, then slips in again, on Mo and the sleeping(?) Klork
* HappyLittleMoron looks up curiously
* Klork hrnhs...
<Mitch> "Found the doc... she can't be moved for at least another three days. So I'll probably drag her down on Friday..."
<VertigoFox> ::walks off to his room being comotose again::
* HappyLittleMoron nods to Mitch, then blinks looking down, over to Klork...
<Mitch> .oO(What's the point of having friends if they don't lie like a bitch to cut you some slack?)
* Mitch walks over, standing by the foot of the bed
<Klork> hmm?? *squints* Hey ..
<Mitch> .oO(Walk into the liiiiight.)
<HappyLittleMoron> Heya hon...*smiles gently, stroking his cheek gently*
* Klork purrs very very faintly..
<Klork> <q> How're you two..?
* Mitch assumes Klork's speaking to Mo and Brenna }:D
* Klork squints up at Mitch .. expecting an answer
<HappyLittleMoron> <q> We're ok...*looks up to Mitch toooooooo*
<Mitch> "Huh? Oh... I'm okay... hell, I'm top o' the world compared to you people." *half-grins*
* HappyLittleMoron smirks lightly, slipping a hand down to hold Klork's
* Mitch is still a little battered, a little more tired, but of all the people he's been running between... he's on his feet
* Klork chuckles, squeezing her hand.
<Klork> <q> Keep it that way n' I'll be happy *smirks faintly*
* HappyLittleMoron nods..
<Mitch> *chuckles* "Trust me, I plan to. How're you doing?"
<Klork> <q> Little better .. I could use a shower tho...
<Mitch> "Want me to drag someone in here?"
* Klork shrugs ..
<Klork> <q> I'll be ok .. just gonna whine a lot *smirks, relaxing*
* HappyLittleMoron chuckles softly...
<Mitch> "Knock yourself out, man. I was just telling Mrs. Happy that I'm gonna wheel Diana down here in a few days, see if you two can help fill in her past..."
* HappyLittleMoron nods a little..
* Klork blinks . then nods a bit...doesn't grimace as notably this time
<Klork> <q> Good idea..
* HappyLittleMoron strokes Klork's hand with her thumb as she listens..
* Rev continues beating up the punching bag, jaw set, long hair back in a tail*
<Mitch> "I gave her the short version... don't know the long version, so..." *kinda shrugs*
* HappyLittleMoron nods..* Makes sense...every little bit does help...
* Mitch nods. He glances towards the door, then rubs his neck, looking at Mo. "...anything I should know about that Javier character?"
* Klork rests, slowly picking up Brenna and pulling her close
* Brenna nuzzles close to Klork, purring softly*
<HappyLittleMoron> I...dunno...he was a horrible man...very powerful but...now...I dunno...
* Klork smiles, purring quietly .. just cradling Brenna
<Mitch> "Powerful like witchy-fingers, or powerful like mob boss?"
<HappyLittleMoron> Witchy-fingers..
<Mitch> He shakes his head. "I dunno... the guy down there... I kinda thought he was more, y'know, aware than he acted. But he wasn't busting out with magic or anything. Just a guy on a bad jones."
* HappyLittleMoron chews her lip* I...yeah...I guess...*shakes her head a little and sighs, Brenna cuddled up to her dad, watching him*
* Kameko ... doesn't know about everyone in the hospital..wasn't here..so kinda..lurks around the asylum, looking around in bewilderment..
* Rev's in the workout room, beating up the punching bag, taking out his frustrations*
* Kameko blinks .. hearing the punching bag, peeking her head in as she wobbles to a halt
<Kameko> Hey...where'd everyoen go..?
* Klork relaxes, just holding Brenna ...
* Rev blinks and looks up* Oh! My apologies m'lady...*sighs a little and brushes a hand over his brow* Klork, HLM, my mother, Mondo and Mitch are at the hospital...
<Mitch> "I'm gonna get Aria down there sometime to see if I can get a, y'know, calmer look. She might've just seen a double and freaked."
* Brenna purrs, happy to be with her daddie*
* HappyLittleMoron nods...* Yeah...
* Kameko blinkblinks, face going pale
<HappyLittleMoron> I dunno...*shudderss* I'd rather not see him again, m'self...
<Kameko> What..?! WHY?! What happened?!
<Mitch> "Yeah..." He rubs his neck. "...you're gonna wanna know if he's here, though."
* Rev furrows his brow and strides over, resting a hand on her shoulder* Ah...I take it you did not hear...there was a battle...Klork, Diana and Mondo were wounded badly...then...HLM nearly lost the twins due to the stress...Mitch has not left their side...
<HappyLittleMoron> I know...*sighs a little, rubbing her belly lightly, brows furrowed*
* Kameko blinkblinks again .. face still shocked
<Kameko> I...dear god..uhm..what hospital??
* Rev...gives her the name! Since it doesn't have one that we know of <G>*
* Kameko takes off to go the the hospital
* Rev blinks and sighs a little, stannding there and sorta rubbing his shoulder absently, doing the shirtless thing agin, btw*
<Mitch> "I'm gonna go back and tell Diana about the timing... either of you guys want anything, since, y'know, I'm the only one here allowed to walk?"
* Klork shrugs..
<Klork> <q> Food ...
* HappyLittleMoron smirks softly*
<Mitch> He cocks his head. "Food, or hospital food?"
<Klork> <q> Food.
* HappyLittleMoron nods a little..
<Mitch> "Okay. Anything but pizza, right?"
* Klork grins
<Klork> <q> Amen ..
* HappyLittleMoron chuckles softly
* Mitch grins. "Okay... be back in a while..."
* Mitch heads out, and upstairs. .oO(...Christ, at least I'm getting enough exercise.)
* Klork smiles ..
* HappyLittleMoron looks back to him, smiling softly..
* Mitch slips back into Site A... to Diana, "Okay. The bad news is you're not going anywhere... the doc says you can't be moved for at least three more days. The good news is I'm gonna go out and grab some real food for you guys. Any requests?"
* Diana blinnks* Ahh...heh...domo, iie...*wrinkles her nose* They've got me on some diet...insides too messed up still I guess...
<Mitch> "Oh... shimatta, gomen nasai."
* Diana shrugs slightly* Ne...it's alright...*smiles a bit* How are they doing?
<Mitch> "Pretty good... they look kinda happy now that they're together and, y'know, awake again."
* Kameko shows up in the hospital, looking incredibly worn out, holding her head
* Diana nods* Good...
* Kameko reels (probably ending up with Klork, she can find him if she needs to), leaning heavily against the wall
* AriaStormsinger alights from a bus, clutching a little satchel Kayla bought her and a fistful of songsheets in another
<Kameko> <q> What...happened..? Who attacked..? You guys okay..?!
<Mitch> "I'll be back in a while... get the others something."
* HappyLittleMoron blinks and sits up a little* Kame?? *furrows her brows* Uh...I...think it was Angora agaiin...
* Klork squints, looking up, head heavily bandaged . he's on a bed that's scooted right up to HLM's .. Brenna's between them
<Klork> <q> Hey sis..how're you..?
* Diana nods* Hai...
* Brenna's purring softly, half asleep*
* Kameko pulls herself up, waddling her way over, kinda weaving as she goes
* Klork blinks ..
<HappyLittleMoron> Kame...maybe you should sit down...
<Kameko> Angora...? Why..?
<Klork> <q> You ok ..?
<Kameko> Yeah..just, haven't blipped a whole lot while..carrying her. Makes me tired.
* Mitch heads out, yet again on the move... he pulls the cap out of his jacket, tugging it on. .oO(Haven't moved around this much since fed-exing for Vince. God.)
* AriaStormsinger works up the guts to go through the lobby this time.
* Klork motions to a chair
<Klork> <q> sit, chica..
* HappyLittleMoron nods a little...
* Kameko sits ... not arguing, looking over at them
* Diana reads 'n stufff*
<Kameko> .....how'd you two get hurt..?
* AriaStormsinger rides the box to Diana's floor
<Klork> <q> I was told that my head came in contact with the side of the roof..
<AriaStormsinger> *knock knock* *blue-haired head peeks around Diana's door* Hi, Diana. Can I come in?
* HappyLittleMoron nods a little...
* Diana blinks* Uh...hai..?
* Kameko flinches .. looking a little ill
<Kameko> ..And you, 'Mo..?
* Mitch always takes the stairs, force of habit, and is out on the street... he goes and gets chinese, the food he's most intimately familiar with after years of study
<HappyLittleMoron> Stress...*rubs her belly a little* One of the times I was rushing back here...I went into labor...they stopped it tho...just...on bedrest 'till I have 'em..
* AriaStormsinger slips in and perches on the side of Diana's bed, dropping satchel and papers on a chair. "How are you feeling?"
<AriaStormsinger> Wait, you don't remember me, do you?
* AriaStormsinger holds out a hand and smiles. "I'm Aria."
* Diana tilts her head a little* Sore...*grins sheepishly and shakes her hand* Pleased to meet you again, Aria...
* Klork n ods..grimacing a bit...
<Klork> <q> So we're....on our asses..
* HappyLittleMoron looks back to Klork, worried, then nods a little...
* Kameko blinkblinks
<Kameko> Until you have them...?? How long they think that'll take..?
* AriaStormsinger frowns a tad. "Diana? Could I try something?"
<HappyLittleMoron> Three months...hopefully...
* Kameko BLINKS
* Diana blinks* Depends on what it is...
<Kameko> I....you have a long time to wait in bed...
* Klork grimaces a bit, stroking Brenna's back
<AriaStormsinger> Watch this. *holds up a blue-glow hand* This makes a lot of folks feel better when they're sick, or hurt, or stuff.
* HappyLittleMoron nods with a sigh...
* Diana blinks and nods a little, watching*
<AriaStormsinger> But, when I tried to help you one time, it hurt you instead.
* Diana furrows her brow* Then...maybe you should not try it...
<AriaStormsinger> I think HLM said it was magic overload.
<AriaStormsinger> You know who HLM is, right?
<Diana> Ah..
* Diana nods* Pregnant lady with wings...
<AriaStormsinger> *giggles*
<AriaStormsinger> She's a lot more than that, tho. ;)
* Diana chuckles softly* Hai...I know...I just don't know...how much more...*smirks lightly, keeping a hand over her belly*
<HappyLittleMoron> Hmph...gonna drive me nuts too...*smirks a bit*
<HappyLittleMoron> ANYWAY...how you, Kame?
* Klork stretches a little.yawning
* Kameko sighs..smiling a bit
<Kameko> Been better..tired now.. and incredibly worried now, too..
* Brenna mmms? a little eyes blinking open to look up to Klork, then blinking when she sees Kame and waves with a sleepyy smile*
<Kameko> But, at least I can come back and forth to give you something other than hospital food, right?
* HappyLittleMoron chuckles and nods..
* Klork chuckles..nodding
<AriaStormsinger> If you wanted, we could try just a little energy work, and see how that feels.
<Klork> True .. Mitch's grabbing something at the moment, but .. it's always apprecaited
* Kameko smiles, waving her fingers back at Brenna
<Kameko> <q> Heya, angel..how're you?
* Brenna smiles and nuzzles up to her dad again* Okie...sleepy....you...?
* Mitch is, in fact, getting takeout
* Klork purrs..
* Diana furrows her brows and shrugs a little* Ah..sure...we can try a little...
* Brenna purrs softly in return..*
<AriaStormsinger> *nods seriously and straightens*
<AriaStormsinger> *big important stiff voice* Now, Ms. Diana, it's very important that you be honest about how you're feeling.
* AriaStormsinger watches her out of the corner of her eye, trying to keep her smile from twitching into place
* Diana chuckles softly*
* AriaStormsinger 's smile breaks free.
<AriaStormsinger> That's what they say at Foss.
<AriaStormsinger> *giggles and buzzes up*
<Diana> Ahh...*blinks a little, watching, brows furrowed lightly*
<AriaStormsinger> Okay. Where's it hurt?
* AriaStormsinger takes a deep breath, a calm and centered demeanor, blue wings shining faintly behind her shouldres.
* Diana furrows her brows, slightly weirded out* Ahh...my stomach...
* Klork slowly slips to sleep ..
* Kameko .. just kinda sits with... sighing, all worried like
* HappyLittleMoron blinks and watches him, eyes glowing lightly, looking at his energies
<Kameko> <q> don't overwork yourself either, 'Mo..
* AriaStormsinger nods reassuringly and moves her blue glow closer to Diana, gently hovering them over the girl's stomach, slowly approaching it
* AriaStormsinger watches Diana's expression.
* Diana's eyes widen at the feeling and suddenly tenses, whimpering strangledly*
* Mitch returns, slipping past security with a bag of contraband, a.k.a. egg rolls and stuff
* HappyLittleMoron sighs softly with relief, eyes going back to normal and grinning a little to Kame1 <q> Heh...I know...just...can't help it...y'know...
* AriaStormsinger pulls back, the glow dimming out
<AriaStormsinger> Are you okay?
* AriaStormsinger 's glow flickers back and forth as she tries to balance the concern for Diana with the need to NOT kill her.
<Kameko> <q> I understand. I think if I could do that, I would be, too.
* Diana squeezes her eyes shut, gone pale, sheen of sweat over her skin* <w> I...don't think...that was a very good...idea...ahh...*curls around herself, jaw clenched*
* HappyLittleMoron smirks a little and nods* Yeah...
* AriaStormsinger backs up, eyes widening
<AriaStormsinger> Awwwwwwwwww noooooooooooo ---
<AriaStormsinger> Diana, what -- who else is around??
<AriaStormsinger> *turns around, looking about wildly* Where's Mitch? Is HLM --
* Mitch comes in... "Hi, Kameko. Brought you guys..." He spots Klork asleep. "Dammit!" *laughing*
<Diana> <w> Get a nurse...I...*tears streak from her eyes as she curls up completely*
<AriaStormsinger> <w> I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry --
* HappyLittleMoron chuckles softly
<Mitch> "Ahh, it'll be there when he wakes up. Just shove it under the bed or something when the nurse comes by."
* AriaStormsinger stands shaking at the door. Seeing a hospital person is the LAST thing she wants to do...
* HappyLittleMoron nods with a small laugh
* Klork furrows his brow .. slowly opening his eyes..
<Klork> <q> Di..?? Diana..??
* Diana lies there, curled around herself, actually sobbing with pain*
* HappyLittleMoron blinks* ...heh...?
* AriaStormsinger cries, herself
<Mitch> He glances over, and grins. "No, the other irish kid. I come bearing gifts..."
* HappyLittleMoron furrows her brows* ...love?
* Kameko blinks, furowing her brow
<Klork> <q> Diana .. no no, she's hurt ...
<AriaStormsinger> Um...Nurse!? Help? *too softly for anyone to really hear beside the guy hiding in the ceiling tiles, if there was a guy hiding in the ceiling tiles, which I don't think there is*
* in the ceiling, the guy hiding is playing Castlevania on his GBA and doesn't notice*
* AriaStormsinger shakes herself. "Gotta be strong. Like Kayla."
<HappyLittleMoron> What...? Oh..the...aw sh...
* Klork grimaces..
* AriaStormsinger sends one last anguished glance back at Diana. "I'll be right back with help!!"
<Klork> <q> Mitch...!? Get her help..???
* Kameko furrows her brow, completely lost..wondering what the heck is going on
* AriaStormsinger runs down the hall, looking around everywhere for help
* Diana starts going limp, passing out, skin totally white*
<Mitch> "Jesus Christ in a, a, a fucking SOMETHING-" He drops the bags and bolts, slipping past stretchers and up the stairs.
* Mitch skids onto the proper hall, yelling out loud, "HELP!" He runs into Aria about halfway down...
* Nurse, same one that helped HLM originally, comes running* What...?? *looks at Mitch* You again...what is it this time?
* Kameko tries her best to stand..but falls back to her chair, still too tired
<Kameko> Jesus...can't stand..
<HappyLittleMoron> Then don't...*chews her lip, brows wrinkled* We'll find out with time...
* Diana's breathing's become beligred...pulse racing but feignt, belly seeming to start growing*
* Mitch runs past, burning rubber as he hauls himself around the corner and into Diana's room... "Oh god no..." *yanks the button thingy up and mashes it down continuously as he crouches over Diana, taking her shoulder with his free hand. "Tomodachi..."
* AriaStormsinger stands about 20 yards from a male nurse reading a magazine, tear-streaked, terrified.
* nurse comes running into the room then! <G>* Oh my god...what happened...? *checks Diana's vitals....which aren't good...she looks like crap...calls for help, Diana getting rushed into surgery*
* Mitch rips open his jacket, freeing up his lower hands... still holding the "Summon Nurse" button down, he swaps the thing off as he brushes Diana's hair back, pale and terrified.
* AriaStormsinger hears the commotion back by Diana and ducks out of sight again.
* Mitch follows as far as they'll let him
* AriaStormsinger trails, trying to stay hidden from sight
* obviously not into surgery...a doc turns on Mitch* What happened???
* AriaStormsinger hears and, after a moment, stands, shakily, from behind an empty gurney.
<Mitch> "I, I don't know... I went down to see someone, and I came back and she was like that..."
* AriaStormsinger raises one hand slowly. "I...I...tried to -- "
* nurse nods and sighs* Alright...*blllinks at Aria* ...yes...?
<AriaStormsinger> I was being c-careful.
<AriaStormsinger> *shakes*
<AriaStormsinger> Tried to h-help. She -- started crying out --
<Mitch> He glances down at himself, and shakily restores the two-arm configuration.
* nurse furrows her brow and heads over to Aria, resting a hand on her shoulder* Oh...I see...
* AriaStormsinger flinches, but Mitch IS right there...
<Nurse> I'm sure she'll be alright, miss...perrhaps she just has problems with healers...? There are others who don't...
<AriaStormsinger> It works for o-other people...
<AriaStormsinger> I'm sorry!!
<Mitch> "Aria..." *heading over*
* Kameko ..just sits worriedly still
<Nurse> It's alright...*looks up at Mitch, stepping back for him*
* AriaStormsinger just stares at the door
<Kameko> <q> I hope we hear news soon..
* HappyLittleMoron chews her lip and nods...
* Klork nods..
<Mitch> "Don't... Aria, listen. Talk to Mrs. Happy." He taps his forehead. "Tell her what happened... ask if there's anything she knows about it..."
* AriaStormsinger brightens a little and nods, concentrating
<AriaStormsinger> {{HLM!? It's Aria -- Diana's gone wtih the doctors. Mitch said I should tell you!}}
* HappyLittleMoron blinks and straitens up, brows furrowed* {{What happened...? Is she alright??}}
<AriaStormsinger> {{I -- we were trying to see if just a little healing would help -- }}
<AriaStormsinger> {{I didn't even touch her and she -- started crying and hurting, very bad -- }}
* Klork blinks, looking at HLM
* HappyLittleMoron clenches her jaw, and fists, body kinda tensing, forcing herself to relax* {{But you stopped as soon as that happened right?}}
<AriaStormsinger> {{Of course!! I didn't want to hurt her at all!}}
* Mitch whips off the cap and stuffs it into a jacket pocket, basically pacing - if he smoked, he would be, and if he had a joint on hand, he would be. :P
<AriaStormsinger> {{I thought, if it wasn't a magic overload, she'd be okay -- I asked first -- HLM, what do we DO??}}
<HappyLittleMoron> {{Ok...just...}} *takes a breath, struggling to keep it together, shaking with her efforts* {{We wait, Aria...we wait}}
* Klork squeezes HLM's hand gently ..
<Klork> <q> Easy ..
* HappyLittleMoron squeezes back, taking a shaky breath* Aria...tried healing her again...she didn't react well...dunno what exactly's wrong...
* Klork grimaces..
<Klork> <q> Crap...
<Kameko> <q> ...She going to be okay..?
* HappyLittleMoron bows her head, swallowing* <q> I dunno...just had to be rushed off...
* Klork grimaces a bit..
<AriaStormsinger> {{HLM, where are you? Mitch is here, just outside}}
<Klork> <q> I hope she'll be ok..
<HappyLittleMoron> {{We're in the maternity ward...}}
* HappyLittleMoron nods a little, kinda trembling
<Mitch> .oO(Be all right... oh god please be okay...)
* after a while...a doc comes out of the OR, looking for Mitch and Aria*
* Mitch turns immediately, looking up with a mix of hope and dread.
* Doc sighs* She's going to be in recovery for some time...we're going to keep her asleep until she's stable...
<Mitch> "How long? What happened?"
<AriaStormsinger> What ha--
<AriaStormsinger> mm.
<Doc> Something made her apendix rupture...as well as the internal injuries she already had partially healed...she's lost a lot of blood and had to be transfused...we're thinking for another few days...
* Klork taps his chin .. waiting ..
* AriaStormsinger goes to her knees.
<Mitch> .oO(Oh god.) "...until she stabilizes?"
* Doc nods...*
<AriaStormsinger> What...what's that mean!?
* HappyLittleMoron chews her lip, stroking Brenna's hair gently...
<Doc> Until it's safe for her to wake up...she needs to stay asleep and still...
* AriaStormsinger gives a miserable little nod.
* Mitch swallows, pale... he glances over, and picks Aria up to her feet, keeping his arm around her.
* AriaStormsinger tries to squeeze Mitch reassuringly.
<Mitch> "Can we go in to see her? Just to, to... see?"
* Doc sighs* Only for a few minutes...she's heavily sedated...
<Mitch> .oO(Argue the mile after you've scored the inch.) He nods, lips tight.
* Doc leads to tthe recovery room where Diana's laying in a bed, completely out...IVs, whole nine yards, looking extremely pale 'n all that*
* AriaStormsinger cries silently, watching her, watching Mitch with her.
* AriaStormsinger decides she doesn't like this hospital. Every time she comes, something traumatic happens.
* Mitch isn't crying, but is choked up, damn close... he leans over her, knuckles white on the edge of the bed... whispered, "Gomen nasai, tomodachi..."
* Mitch slowly straightens up... he touches her hand, just brushes his fingertips along it, before stepping away.
* Diana...lies there some more...getting to be a habit*
* Mitch flicks off his glasses and rubs his eyes, hard, as he turns away.
* AriaStormsinger leans over and slips her hand into one of Mitch's free ones. (two are stowed, right?)
* Mitch sees the aura, and just squeezes her hand tightly - not TOO tight, he's probably not strong enough to do TOO tight, but...
<AriaStormsinger> "What's she look like?"
<Mitch> "...not good... let's go see Mrs. Happy."
<AriaStormsinger> <vqw> ok.
* Mitch folds his arms as he goes, kinda holding himself
* AriaStormsinger follows JUST behind him and a very little to his side, like a little shadow
* Mitch heads downstairs to Site B
* Rev's back to beating up the punching bag*
* AriaStormsinger hears babies crying. *wipes her face with her forearm hastily*
* Mitch just settles back
* AriaStormsinger scurries along behind Mitch
* Mitch was last seen heading towards Mo&Klork's position
* Leah-Nardo *Evy* was last seen looking at some interesting photos of a certain incident involving a washing machine up in her room
* Shingami is...working! of all crazy insane things.. works as delivery person for the flower shop since already has wheels
* Rev's beating up on the punching bag...still*
* HappyLittleMoron sighs softly, stroking Brenna's hair gently, the little girrl sleeping..
* Klork sleeps as well .. just resting currently
* Mitch ... pause for dramatic effect... gets there!
* Ryu meanders down the stairs, stretching a bit*
* EvyNardo is getting a bit steamed at some piccies
* HappyLittleMoron looks up* <q> Heya...!
* `Wing` comes inside from a hard day's work and bares the scars from being attacked by some teenage girls who mistook him form a Backstreet boy
* AriaStormsinger 's eyes are visible around Mitch.
* Rev beats the punching bag!!!!!!!!!*
* EvyNardo heads down the stairs, measurably calm
<EvyNardo> Hello.
* Ryu pokes her head in* .. Did et' 'urt ye..? Th' punchin' bag, aye?
<Mitch> Quietly. "She's not stable yet... it's outta the danger zone, though. It's gonna be a few days before they'll let her wake up."
* AriaStormsinger swallows
* `Wing` looks up and smiles at Evy
<`Wing`> Hi evy-chan
* EvyNardo smiles broadly
<EvyNardo> Hello, DEAR.
* Ryu tilts her head, glancing at the couple* Uh ..
* Rev blinks and looks up hehing a little, grinning slightly* Nae...it spoke badly of my liniage...*smirks* Hello, love...
<`Wing`> .....((uhoh))....
* Ryu sneaks out of harms way and into the sparring room*
* HappyLittleMoron sighs shakily* What exactly happened...?
<`Wing`> Ano... somethign the matter?
<EvyNardo> Have a good day? Get duck taped and striped by anyone today?
<Ryu> Ow're ye doin'??
* Rev blinks, heading over, shrugging* Could be better...I have a strange sense about my mother...donae know what to make of it...
* AriaStormsinger sends HLM a mental image of approaching Diana's belly with the gentle glow, then Diana writhing back
<Mitch> "I dunno... I think... Aria tried some healing. Diana got a lot worse..."
* AriaStormsinger blinks at HLM.
* HappyLittleMoron chews her lip, rubbing her belly, closing her eyes, just outa it...
<`Wing`> ...well if you ignore the freshmen who thought i was Jsutin.. wait......what are you talking about?
<AriaStormsinger> <w> They said her appendix ruptured...
<AriaStormsinger> <w> She lost a lot of blood.
* HappyLittleMoron cringes at that...
* EvyNardo wavels the pictures in front of Wing
<EvyNardo> I found THESE on my bed...
<Mitch> "The doc seemed to think it was gonna turn out okay. Just... longer."
<`Wing`> Evy-chan what are you talking about?
<HappyLittleMoron> Hope so...
* AriaStormsinger works a handy edge of her clothes with her fingers
* AriaStormsinger looks up and sees Klork on his bed.
<EvyNardo> Someone left pictures of you, and a washing machine, and your boxer shorts, and some duct tape, all rolled up in a happy little package. You don't, erm, remember this?
* `Wing` blinks.. and turns severla shades of white
* HappyLittleMoron bows her head with a sigh
<EvyNardo> You weren't, perhaps, drugged and therefore not liable, hmm?
* Mitch thumps into a chair, flicking his glasses off. "Just gonna have to wait now."
* Ryu furrows her brow* You wanna check on her..?
<`Wing`> *widdle voice* how did you get those?
<EvyNardo> They were on my BED, sweetheart.
<Mitch> "...shit. I'll be right back."
<Rev> Aye, actually...
* Mitch hauls himself up and heads up to Site A, on a search-and-retrieve mission re: Pratchett
<`Wing`> *gulps*
* book's on the floor...where it fell when she was hurt...*
* AriaStormsinger watches MItch go, worriedly.
<EvyNardo> The look on your face indicates you were enjoying this WAY too much?
<`Wing`> (( im gunna die)) they ganged up on me
* Ryu nods, tossing him his coat* Aye th'n...
* `Wing` shakes his head
* AriaStormsinger faces HLM.
<EvyNardo> They...GANGED up on you?
<EvyNardo> There was more than ONE?!?
* Rev catches it, slipping it on after putting his shirt back on* If you don't feel like flying...I can simply take the bus...
<`Wing`> hai
* The fridge explodes*
* HappyLittleMoron keeps her head bowed, trying desperatly to keep it together
<`Wing`> *widdle voice* hai
* `Wing` eeps
<`Wing`> eep
* Ryu shrugs* Ah kin' fly...GYAH! *stares at the kitchen* AYe, Ah kin' fly ..
* Rev ducks and nods* ...might be safer...aye...
* Ryu nodnodnodnods*
<EvyNardo> TELL ME YOU DIDN'T ENJOY THIS!
* `Wing` is about 4 inches tall now ego wise and scared out of his ever caffinated mind
<Rev> Roof?
<`Wing`> no i didnt they were bored
* Ryu nods* Roof. *heads that way*
* AriaStormsinger watches HLM for a long moment.
<EvyNardo> Bored? *eye twitches*
* Rev does too*
* AriaStormsinger glances at Klork. *is he awake?*
* Klork is .. half awake half asleep
<`Wing`> i dont know why they did it.. Evy, honey please calm down
* Mondo_Gecko stands in the hallway of the hospital with the IV still in his arm and puts a few quarters in the phone, dialing
* Rev gets the door for her 'n stuff
* Ryu smiles, heading up...stretching her wings widely*
* Rev can't help but smile as he watches her*
<EvyNardo> Calm down, he says! This is CHEATING, Wing! *lip quivers*
* AriaStormsinger lifts her chin a little and tries not to cry anymore. "HLM... I'm sorry. Let...let me know if there's any way I can...make up for..." *trails off*
* Ryu chuckles, turning and opening her arms* C'mon ..
<AriaStormsinger> Stacie reaches blearily over and picks up the phone. "H'lo?"
<Mondo_Gecko> ...hey
* Rev smirks lightly and heads over*
* HappyLittleMoron looks up and nods a bit, holding an arm out to Aria* <q> C'mere...
<`Wing`> Evy, you know that i love you more then anything...when soem of the people around here get bored they get REALLy bored and being the ONLY guy here at the time made me a prime target...
* AriaStormsinger trembles once and comes forward...
<`Wing`> Shin started it!
* Ryu smiles, wrapping her arms around him from behind .. then snaps her wings out, lifting them both into the air*
<AriaStormsinger> "Mondo?"
* Rev rests his hands over hers*
* EvyNardo glares at the pictures.
<Stacie> "Mondo?"
* HappyLittleMoron pulls Aria into a gentle hug
* Klork slides his eyes over, waving a little to Aria..lookin' ... drugged
<Mondo_Gecko> Yea
* AriaStormsinger 's tears leak out after all.
* EvyNardo blinks
<AriaStormsinger> <q> I'm r-really sorry, HLM...
<EvyNardo> WHY IS ARIA KISSING YOU?!?
* Ryu flies to the hospital*
<`Wing`> she felt like it?
* Rev goes with obviouisly <G>*
<Stacie> "You always call girls this late?" *grins, switching on the light and sitting up, stretching*
* lightbulb in the overhead lamp pops*
<`Wing`> wrong answer...
* Mitch is seated in the empty room that is Site A, slowly turning the Pratchett over in his hands, staring down at it.
* HappyLittleMoron strokes Aria's hair* I know...it's ok...you didn't mean to...
* EvyNardo waaaaaaaaaaahs!
<AriaStormsinger> Th-thanks.
<Mondo_Gecko> um....sorry...
<`Wing`> ((im gunna die im gunna die im gunna die...))
<Mondo_Gecko> I just woke up actually
* Ryu sets Rev down in the lobby, settling her wings over her shoulders* Shall we, luv?
<HappyLittleMoron> Try not to worry too much, huh...? Things will be ok...
* AriaStormsinger nods.
<Mondo_Gecko> I sure seem to have a way with pissing you off
* Rev nods, reaching over to gently take her hand, and head up to Diana's ex-room*
<Stacie> I'm not mad.
<Mondo_Gecko> oh...
<Mondo_Gecko> *examines his claws*
* Stacie grins and waits.
* Ryu goes with*
<Mondo_Gecko> .....hello?
* HappyLittleMoron glances at Klork, biting her lip, eyes glowing slightly again...checking his energies...
* Klork is just .. on pain killers ..
* HappyLittleMoron 's just...paranoid <G>
* HappyLittleMoron pats his hand gently
* Mitch 's just... depressed
* AriaStormsinger watches.
<AriaStormsinger> <q> He's gonna be ok?
* Klork glances over, smiling wearily..
<Klork> <q> Yea..
* HappyLittleMoron nods...
<Rev> *blinks* ...where's Diana, Mitch?
* Ryu pokes her head in, then blinks, waving a little at Mitch*
<`Wing`> Evy it wasnt a fling, it wasnt cheeting i coudl nevr live withmyself if i did that to you.
<EvyNardo> ((Urge to kill other women...rising...))
* Mitch blinks and scrubs his forearm across his eyes before palming his glasses and flicking them open, on, looking up. "She's... she's in intensive care. Things got worse. A lot of internal bleeding."
<Mitch> "Her appendix... they're keeping her under, y'know, sedation for a few days until she's had a chance to recover."
* AriaStormsinger leans against HLM and her bed, watching Mitch.
* Ryu blinks ...* Oh lor'..
* Rev frowns, hand tightening on Ryu's a little* ...how'd this happen??
<Mondo_Gecko> Hello?
<Mondo_Gecko> Stacie?
<Stacie> "Mmhm?"
<`Wing`> Evy please calm down
<Mitch> He lets his breath out slowly. "I think she let Aria try some, some witchy-finger healing. Diana's never dealt well with that."
<EvyNardo> *sighs, decides death is not appropriate, seeing as he's related*
* Ryu grimaces..* Oh lor' .. ah 'ope she'll be a'right, aye?
* Rev sighs and nods* Aye...will...will she...aye...what she said...
<Mitch> "They think she'll be okay. It's just gonna take some more time. And she ain't gonna be awake for a few days."
* Ryu grimaces* ...
* Rev winces, but keeps his chin up, demeaner going slightly cool* Would we be able to see her at all or...? *pauses* How are Klork and HLM?
<`Wing`> you can maim my ssiter all you want later... provided she doesnt die
* Ryu glances up at him, then looks over at Mitch..brows furrowed with worry*
<Mitch> "I dunno. They might let you in for a minute or two." He sighs, shaking his head. "They're okay. Kinda down, tired, but... no worse."
<EvyNardo> Why the skirt, tho? *puzzled look*
* Ryu grimaces* Et least they're nae worse...
* Rev nods a little* Aye...
<`Wing`> *blush* thry thought it would be funny... you dont want to know how mch my ssiter thinks id look good in drag its scary
* Ryu sighs, motioning for Rev to sit on a chair*
* Rev obliges...pretty much automatic when it comes to orders from a lady*
* EvyNardo notes she can't see very well in the dead light
<Mitch> "Yeah." *just looks down at the book, turning it over and over*
* `Wing` takes one of her hands
* Ryu rubs at her shoulders, sighing* Well .. *looks at Mitch* Th' fridge exploded...
<`Wing`> why dotn we et otu of the middle of the hallway and discuss this somewhere with less appliences
<Mitch> *kinda blinks and looks up* "Exploded?"
* Ryu nods* Evy got mad, aye luv? *looks at Rev*
* Rev blinks and nods* Aye...something about pictures...
<Mitch> .oO(Why the hell would they care about that at a time like... fuck.) *shakes his head, looking down again*
* Ryu shrugs* Jes' tryin' t' lighten th' mood, sor'...
<Mitch> "Christ. Don't."
* Rev sighs softly*
* Ryu sighs..* Aye, fine then. *shrugs, going silent*
* Rev kisses Ryu's fingers* Come...let us see if we can see her...?
* Ryu looks up..then nods, standing* AYe..
<EvyNardo> *looks around* Hallway? Erm, right? Where is everyone, anyway?
* Rev stands as well*
<`Wing`> im not sure.. ive been workgin so much i miss a lot of what goes on around here.. my guess is they are out and about somewhere...
* Mitch tucks the book into a pocket, hauling himself up. "...yeah. We'll try."
* Ryu blinks at Mitch .. then shrugs* LEad th' way.
* Mitch doooes lead the way, because he knooooooows where they're keeping her
* EvyNardo huggles Wing
<EvyNardo> No do that EVER again...
<`Wing`> ill try to avoide that situation
<EvyNardo> *looks carefully toward the kitchen* Klork's going to have a fit about that fridge.
* Rev follows Mitch <G>*
<`Wing`> probably yeah
* I'm gonna saaaaaaaaaaay...they can't see her!!!!!!!!!! BWAHAHAH...Rev sighs and acts depressed <G>*
* Ryu follows Rev n' Mitch, gets depressed too*
<EvyNardo> *sweatdrops* Erm, let's hide...
* AriaStormsinger tucks up HLM's blanket a little.
* HappyLittleMoron blinks a lil'
* Mitch was there to begin with...
<AriaStormsinger> Did...did you think any more about what Mr. Helder asked?
* `Wing` smiles some
<`Wing`> good plan
<Mitch> "Shimatta." *sighs* "I'll take you guys down to see Mrs. Happy..."
* Ryu rubs at Rev's back.nodding to Mitch*
* Klork looks at Aria..
<Klork> <Q> Who's Helder.?
<AriaStormsinger> He's the man in charge of Foss Associates, now that David...um, Foss, is dead.
<Klork> <q> Ahh ..
<HappyLittleMoron> How could I...? ...and...to be honest...I don't trust 'im...but that's just me with big bussiness...*looks to Klork* Eh...what she said..
* Mitch tourguides down to Site B
<Klork> <q> What was the offer ... ???
* Ryu follows, knocking cuz she's polite n' all that*
* AriaStormsinger raises her brows at HLM.
<HappyLittleMoron> A partnership...access to their medical facilities...
* Rev does too*
* Klork furrows his brows..
<Klork> <q> Partnership..? How so .. ?
<Shin> *makes her way home singing Time warp*
<EvyNardo> *hmms, mad all gone for the moment* Fridge....where do I find a new fridge at this hour of the night...Wing, sweetie, don't people sometimes leave out fridges for the trash people?
* Mitch doesn't knock - just pushes the door open... yeah, politeness has fallen several steps in his priority list by now
<`Wing`> ...i can go get one first thing in the morning
<HappyLittleMoron> All he offered for now was the medical facilities for now...gonna meet with him again once things calm down...
<`Wing`> Trash people
<AriaStormsinger> They've got really good facilities.
* Mitch slips in, finds a chair, and slumps into it, flicking off his glasses and closing his eyes
<AriaStormsinger> It's where they took care of Stacie and stuff. Hi Mitch.
* Klork nods, grimacing a bit...
* HappyLittleMoron nods a little, stroking Klork's hand and shrugging lightly, blinnking at Rev comiiing up behind Mitch with Ryu?
<Mitch> *not looking up* "Hi, Aria. Mrs. Happy... Klork... brought guests."
<Klork> <q> It'll have to be thought about for a bit longer..*glances at Mo*
* Ryu waves, settling in a seat* Ow're ye..?
* HappyLittleMoron nods...* Yeah...
* Rev settles by her*
* AriaStormsinger looks up at Rev curiously.
<HappyLittleMoron> Heh...as well as can be considered...you two...?
* Ryu nods* Fine .. fridge exploded a' 'ome.
* Rev's manner is just rather cold, hiding everything he can under the exterior*
* HappyLittleMoron blinks...
<HappyLittleMoron> ...uh...
* AriaStormsinger looks curiously at Ryu.
* HappyLittleMoron looks to Ryu and arches a brow* Come again?
* `Wing` takes Evy up to his room
* Ryu rubs at Rev's shoulders* Et' exploded...ah think Evy did et..
* Ryu shrugs* Was arguin' wi' Wing .. said som'thin abou' kissin' Aria..? *looks quizzical*
* EvyNardo sneezes...running in fear from the coming storm
<`Wing`> Evy what do you meen 'trash people?'
<AriaStormsinger> Evy? I never kissed Evy.
<`Wing`> bless you
* Mitch kinda blinks and looks up blindly.
<Ryu> Nae .. kissin' Wing ..
* HappyLittleMoron blinks...
* HappyLittleMoron arches a brow* Our lil' Aria growing up...?
<EvyNardo> Um, the people who pick up the trash in the morning...you know, trashmen.
<AriaStormsinger> *frowns* *face clears, and she giggles, hiccuping with the unshed tears halfway thru*
* Ryu blinks ..*
<AriaStormsinger> No. We were playing at teasing Wing.
<`Wing`> aa... ill jsut get one at an applience store.. one with more freezer space
* Rev's suprisingly tense, muscles rock hard*
<HappyLittleMoron> Hehh...
<EvyNardo> Nonono...that's too expensive...
<EvyNardo> *bites her lip*
<Mitch> .oO(I told her when not to use her powers. Someone ELSE gets to explain sex.)
* Ryu continues to work at his back, trying to keep him at least a little relaxed*

<EvyNardo> Honey *exasperated* You are not supposed to make up for me when I get mad at you!
<AriaStormsinger> You were there, HLM, you know.

<AriaStormsinger> He was... *giggles*

<AriaStormsinger> washing machine...heh! and the -- the duct tape -- and --
<EvyNardo> Oooo. *blinks*
<EvyNardo> *worries* Beer...where do they sell beer at this hour?
* Mitch glances over, focusing on the Moron-aura. "...just tell me this. Do I wanna know?"
* HappyLittleMoron manages a weak chuckle* Cross dressing...
* HappyLittleMoron looks up at Mitch* More than likely no...
* Klork furrows his brow..closing his eyes again
<Klork> <q> Nope..you don't..
<Mitch> "Okay." He lets his head settle back again."
* AriaStormsinger lifts a brow in surprise
<AriaStormsinger> *she just sensed a very brief fluctuation in HLM's well-being, in conjunction wtih the laughter*
<`Wing`> if he coems abck ill go get some.. or we can go together
* AriaStormsinger thinks on this.
* AriaStormsinger turns to Ryu. "I, um, what's your name?"
* Ryu glances at Aria* Ryu .. ye'r Aria, aye?
* HappyLittleMoron watches her daughter and husband, eyes sad but alwayss with that hint of love..
* AriaStormsinger nods.
* Rev just silently watches and listens, shoulders finally relaxing a very little bit at Ryu's hands*
* Klork purrs...resting & relaxing again...
<AriaStormsinger> Do you live at the Asylum, too?
* Ryu continues to knead at his back*
* Ryu nods* Aye..
* Mitch is drifting off, just everything coming down on him at once...'
<AriaStormsinger> And you're... *looks to Rev*
* HappyLittleMoron looks up at Mitch, grinning a little at the nurse who drapes a blanket over him
* Rev blinks and looks over at Aria* I am Revelyn, m'lady...Diana's son...
* Shingami makes it home wondering why the light in the hall went boom and... what that funkey smell is...
* AriaStormsinger 's eyes widen. "Ohhhhhh. You're the one everyone went hunting for..."
* AriaStormsinger glances at Mitch.
* Rev nods a little* Aye..
<Shingami> woah... dang it i always miss the big explosions.
* Rev's back slowly...slowly relaxes...still near rock, but y'know*
<AriaStormsinger> Um. Welcome to Earth.
* Mitch slumbers uneasily, a disquieted expression on his face
<AriaStormsinger> <q> hang on... *hops down and goes over to him*
<AriaStormsinger> <w> Mitch?
* Mitch 's oooouuuut
<AriaStormsinger> Mitch, c'mon...there's a bed somewhere...
* AriaStormsinger tugs at him gently
* AriaStormsinger looks around for a bed or something
* Mitch mutters something, swimming up to awareness-lucidity.
<AriaStormsinger> C'mon, Mitch. You're going to get a kink in your neck.
<Mitch> "-mrph. Nnh. I'm fine, Aria. Domo."
* AriaStormsinger tugs him to at least lie down on the floor...
* Rev nods again* Thank you...
<Mitch> "Aria..." *yawns and pulls himself up a little* "Chair's fine. Floor's in the way, beds needed for patients. Chair good."
* Rev tilts his head back, looking up at Ryu*
* AriaStormsinger nods and pats Mitch...
* Ryu continues, brows furrowed* <q> Ye ok, Rev?
<Rev> <q> Aye...just a bit...shocked I supppose...
<Mitch> "Oya..." *yawns again* "...sumi, Aria."
* Ryu nods, brows furrowed* <q> Ye' wan'te' stay en' th' room she was en? So we know first thing, aye?
* AriaStormsinger grins down at him
* Rev nods* <q> Aye...
<AriaStormsinger> Um. You're going to stay with Diana?
* Ryu nods, slowly standing and taking his hand*
* Rev nods a little, standing with her*
<Mitch> "Gonna stay nearby... gonna be there... wasn't..." He sighs, slumping a little in the chair. "...never am..."
* Ryu wraps an arm around him...leading him towards Di's old room*
* Rev slips an arm around her in return, going with her*
<HappyLittleMoron> <q> You can't be everywhere at once, Mitch...
* Ryu gets up there...pulling out one of the recliner/hospital chairs* <q> Share et'..?
* Klork nods in agreement and half/sleepiness
<Mitch> "I know... I know... I just... just wanna be where I can, can do what's gotta be done."
* AriaStormsinger nods.
<Mitch> "I just wanna... want to see her well. Want to see her, her smile..."
* HappyLittleMoron nods...
* Mitch is rapidly trailing off into sleep again, almost there.
* AriaStormsinger looks at Mitch, confused.
<AriaStormsinger> He's...um...
* Mondo_Gecko sighs and hangs up and wheels his IV back down the hall and grabs the smokes from his bedside table and goes to the open window and lights one up*
<Mondo_Gecko> night*
<StacieGreene> sits thoughtfully, grinning at first. Fades as she thinks back about what he'd ask her of, and her life after going mutant.
* Mondo_Gecko kicks the wall a bit
<Mondo_Gecko> .oO( stoopid dehydration)
<Mondo_Gecko> .oO( dying my ass..)
* Mondo_Gecko inhails from the ciggarette deeply the tip lighting up*
* Rev lies out on the bed, making room for Ryu*
* Ryu settles beside him, clapping the lights off*
* AriaStormsinger finds another seat and curls up on it. "HLM?"
* Rev slides his arms around her, sighing softly*
* Ryu rubs at his shoulders* <q> Sleep, REv ... time'll go quicker ef'n ye do..
* Rev nods and sighs* <w> I shall try, m'love...
<Mondo_Gecko> .oO( damnit...why did I promise her I'd stay)
<Mondo_Gecko> .oO( I'm gonna go nuts here..I don't even have my guitar...)
* Ryu nods, still working on his shoulders to get him to fall asleep, looking drowsy herself*
* Rev slowly begins drifting, almost as if forcing himself*
<Mondo_Gecko> .oO(I can't live without it....)
<Mondo_Gecko> .oO( Diana got to go home..)
* AriaStormsinger sits up to see if HLM's still awake.
<Mondo_Gecko> .oO( so why do I gotta stay)
* HappyLittleMoron 's kinda...semi-dozing with Brenna and Klork
* Ryu drifts...falling asleep*
* AriaStormsinger squints.
* AriaStormsinger sits back, surrounded by teh sounds of sleeping people and the humming of the Hospital's air conditioning/heating system.
* Klork purrs very faintly ... curling up with Brenna..
* Mondo_Gecko butts his ciggarette and then tosses it out the window, and he gets up again and turns off down the hall again, slipping into the Rec room, spotting the old piano against the wall.. He takes a seat at it and starts to play softly
<Mondo_Gecko> *Gymnopedie, if anyone knows what song that is*
* Brenna purrs with her daddie, cuddled close*
* AriaStormsinger holds out her hands, watching them pulse faintly with blue
* AriaStormsinger clenches them shut.
<Mondo_Gecko> *the music echo's down the corridor halls*
* MeanNurse: "Sir, the music room is closed. You're disturbing those who need their rest...Like yourself."
* AriaStormsinger hears the piano music.
* Mondo_Gecko doesn't even look up..
<MeanNurse> Sir. Now.
* AriaStormsinger follows the sound of the piano.
<MeanNurse> Save it for tomorrow, buster, or I'm calling security.
* Mondo_Gecko smirks..
* AriaStormsinger comes up behind her and touches her softly. "It's okay. I'll...I'll talk to him."
* Mondo_Gecko continues to play, his back to her
* MeanNurse looks startled...
* AriaStormsinger 's face contorts with frustration and emotion and hopelessness and she sends blue waves over the nurse.
<HappyNurse> All right!
* AriaStormsinger watches the Nurse giddy off, a look of sick sadness on her face.
* AriaStormsinger slowly turns to the pianomaster. "Mondo?"
<Mondo_Gecko> Yeah?
* AriaStormsinger comes over and slides onto the bench beside him, watching his fingers move over the keys.
<Mondo_Gecko> sup?
<AriaStormsinger> I think...I understand now.
<Mondo_Gecko> understand what?
* AriaStormsinger sits quiet and sad.
<AriaStormsinger> Why you wanted to find the antidote to your mutagen.
* Mondo_Gecko arches a brow
<Mondo_Gecko> Why?
<AriaStormsinger> because I don't want to be a -- a whatever I am, anymore.
* Mondo_Gecko stops playing and looks up
<Mondo_Gecko> ..what?
<AriaStormsinger> It just...Don't stop.
<AriaStormsinger> It sounds like how I feel.
* Mondo_Gecko nods and then starts to play again
<Mondo_Gecko> *w* me too
* AriaStormsinger glances at him.
<AriaStormsinger> You hurt someone, too?
<Mondo_Gecko> ...I hurt everyone
* AriaStormsinger shrugs. "You haven't hurt me."
* Mondo_Gecko takes a deep breath and lets it out
<Mondo_Gecko> ...yea..
<AriaStormsinger> Here.
* AriaStormsinger powers up about 1/8th of the way and plants a hand on Mondo's chest.
<AriaStormsinger> I don't want this. You want it? *eyes with a fey light*
* Mondo_Gecko ...want it?
<AriaStormsinger> They're happy vibes. They're supposed to make you feel GOOD.
<Mondo_Gecko> um...
<Mondo_Gecko> alright
* AriaStormsinger glares at him and sends him happy vibes -- which come through jerky and shallow like a sugar high rather than contentment
* Mondo_Gecko shakes a little...
<AriaStormsinger> Doesn't...do...any...good. Does it....?
<Mondo_Gecko> oh man! what kinda drugs were you on?
* AriaStormsinger jerks her hand away and sits hunched, rocking a little.
<AriaStormsinger> I don't know...
<AriaStormsinger> I tried to heal Diana...
<Mondo_Gecko> Aria..
<Mondo_Gecko> what happened...
<AriaStormsinger> The only power-gift-thing that works RIGHT anymore is when I have to fight people off.
<Mondo_Gecko> *w* is she ok?
<AriaStormsinger> She...
<AriaStormsinger> She's hurt real bad....*fights off a voice break*
<Mondo_Gecko> ....
<Mondo_Gecko> how bad?
<AriaStormsinger> They...they had to take her away for, for surgery.
<AriaStormsinger> *holds out a shaking hand* It ruptured her appendix.
<Mondo_Gecko> *bites his lip*
<Mondo_Gecko> Jesus...
<Mondo_Gecko> well..
<Mondo_Gecko> it happened in the right place atleast *sighs and rubs his face*
* AriaStormsinger shakes herself and manages a <W>... "HLM said it was okay... I didn't mean it."
<AriaStormsinger> But I never mean it when bad things happen.
<AriaStormsinger> Do you?
* Mondo_Gecko sighs and shakes his head
<AriaStormsinger> I don't know what to do.
<Mondo_Gecko> na...I just...
* AriaStormsinger swipes her face again and sits up.
* Mondo_Gecko looks up
* AriaStormsinger listens
<Mondo_Gecko> Aria....it's ok..it was an accident
<Mondo_Gecko> Diana's not gonna be mad at you
<Mondo_Gecko> She's not like that..
<Mondo_Gecko> .oO(or atleast she wasn't...who knows what she's like now)
<Mondo_Gecko> .oO(she could be a tottaly different person.. I guess she's as much a stranger to me as I am to her)
* AriaStormsinger nods.
* AriaStormsinger swallows.
<AriaStormsinger> I...
<AriaStormsinger> *sighs*
<AriaStormsinger> I just don't want to make mistakes anymore.
<AriaStormsinger> I thought, learning so much at Foss, it would be easier to know what's right.
* Mondo_Gecko sighs
<Mondo_Gecko> I know...sometimes we think we know what's right and then it turns out to be way wrong
<Mondo_Gecko> but..I dunno.. it's part of growing up I guess...heh..I'm not an adult Aria..I'm just a really big kid
* AriaStormsinger almost grins.
<AriaStormsinger> I like that about you.
* Mondo_Gecko blinks
<Mondo_Gecko> ...really?
<Mondo_Gecko> I mean...most people hate it
<AriaStormsinger> At least you're not always right.
* Mondo_Gecko smirks
<Mondo_Gecko> isn't that driving you nuts too?
<AriaStormsinger> Mmhm.
<AriaStormsinger> Are you tired?
<Mondo_Gecko> Who does it withn you?
<Mondo_Gecko> ..yea..
<Mondo_Gecko> but I don't wanna sleep yet
* AriaStormsinger eyes his IV bag stand...
<AriaStormsinger> Are you going to sleep in here?
<Mondo_Gecko> ..in here?
<Mondo_Gecko> um..wasn't planning on it..but I could
<Mondo_Gecko> Why?
<AriaStormsinger> <q> I don't want to go to sleep alone.
* Mondo_Gecko smiles a little
<Mondo_Gecko> *w* neither do I
<AriaStormsinger> Would you mind...a girl who gets her friends hurt?
<Mondo_Gecko> ..heh..no..
<Mondo_Gecko> I do it to ppl all the time too
* Mondo_Gecko leans over and wraps his arms around her in a warm hug
* AriaStormsinger hugs back
* AriaStormsinger THE SQUOOSHERLESS hugs back.
<AriaStormsinger> Um. *looks tiiiiiiiired* Where are you really sleeping?
<Mondo_Gecko> in my room..
<Mondo_Gecko> come on..
* Mondo_Gecko gets up and offers his hand
* AriaStormsinger grins sleepily and lets him lead her off
<AriaStormsinger> You play piano really nicely...
* Mondo_Gecko leads her to the now empty room
<Mondo_Gecko> ...thanks...it's been a while.
* AriaStormsinger hums a lilting, gentle melody from choir practice
<Mondo_Gecko> I can play more stuff for you tomorow..
* AriaStormsinger climbs onto one of the beds, nodding.
<Mondo_Gecko> ..man..you have such a pretty voice...
* AriaStormsinger smiles a thank you...
<Mondo_Gecko> you know I was listening when you were singing in chior practice..I sometimes live in the belltower
* AriaStormsinger blinks, still humming. "?"
<Mondo_Gecko> they don't ring them anymore..
* Mondo_Gecko lays down on the bed pushing the IV beside it*
* AriaStormsinger lets her singing drift off. She reaches out and brushes Mondo, this time sending a calmer, if not totally comfortable, happy buzz, like an apology.
* Mondo_Gecko smiles a little...suddenly feeling very calm
* AriaStormsinger curls up against Mondo's side and buries her head against his shoulder, blue getting more and more peaceful, but also fainter.
<Mondo_Gecko> *smiles, eyes closes and rests his jaw on the top of her head*
