Singha : Testing
Alexis Donovan: ((color?))
Okami Yuki: ((mheep?))
Alexis Donovan: ((*tries another*))
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((I know my color...
*Wraps up in it and beams*))
Alexis Donovan: ((So do I but...I dunno.))
Singha : ((Alright...Let
me make a few things clear: Alexi is for all intents and purposes a MAN. Smells
like a man, the Guardians SotTF ID's him as a PUREBRED SHADOWLORD male.
Physical examination reveals a MAN with male genitalia, and no indication of
any surgery)
Singha : ((Spirits
IDENTIFY HIM as GAIA'S FANG, aka ALEXI ROTHECHILDE a SL of some renown out of a
Chicago Sept))
Okami Yuki: ((dang...))
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((Are we already AT
Shantytown, or pulling up? Just for clarification, if he's already been ID'd.))
Singha : ((Who
has come along with Ang and Reyna and Ang is this the Tranq gun you got from
Jimmy a long time ago?))
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: ((Didn't
come with Ang and Reyna, obviously. Just in the area.))
Angelia Caponelli: (Alrighty, sorry - yes.
She's been using the tranqs that she got from Jimmy and the GWs.)
Okami Yuki: ((well thre were all us Karlos and
Okami who has managed to pass all her stamina rolls but who is already drowsy))
Laidan: ((Laidan is with
Dream))
Alexi Rothechilde: ((and is definitely with
Ang and Reyna...))
Angelia Caponelli: (Nods. It was Ang and
Reyna. Karlos was taking Okami back to the KR to get the antidote to her)
Singha : ((OKAMI
You are PARALYZED by the time you reach CP, unless someone administers an
antidote to you during that tim.))
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((No sedative-administering
from the driver...))
Singha : ((Oh
okay so OKAMI you are NOT in this scene))
Okami Yuki: ((I am not sure exactly when she'll
be taken to the KR))
Okami Yuki: ((oww.. ok =P ))
Singha : ((OKAMI
will get the antidote but she will be unable to SEE anything but vague shapes
for 6 HOURS and her EYES will be SENSITIVE to light for another 12-24))
Singha : ((We
will be picking it up AFTER the Guardians have admitted Reyna and Ang in with
Alexi. Alexi, roll STA please))
Singha : 9,10,10,4,10,4,
Alexi Rothechilde: 3,5,8,
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: 4,7,2,3,4,
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He walks
toward Shantytown, having seen people come this way. He's nervous, and a little
tense. This is where he was cleansed. He has Laidan by the hand as he
approaches.
Laidan: Laidan stays with Dream, quiet and
calm.
Laidan: 3,5,1,9,6,9,8,
Okami Yuki: (8oki =)
Singha : ((The
tranq Ang administered induces unconsciousness for 30 minutes. The trip to CP
lasted about 20, and then another 5-10 for all the checking Alexi out. So you
will regain consciousness soon. The Ritemaster will perform an exorcism on
Alexi as he has been determined to be infected with the algorithm))
Singha : 3,5,4,6,9,5,7,2,
Angelia Caponelli: (Ang will of course, have
taken Alexi's gun from him and patted him down for any other weapons or such
items)
Singha : ((The
Algorithm goes yiping off into the Deep Umbra. You are now free of the
algorithm, Alexi.))
Alexi Rothechilde: ((woo! A'ight.))
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He
approaches the group, freezing, his body tensed, as he recognizes Angelia and
Reyna. The Body. Whoever's getting exorcised, he doesn't see that well...it's a
man. Not Lex.
Singha : So...we
start now as Poppa Rustcruncher is performing a Rite of Cleansing, and Alexi is
beginning to return to consciousness.
Alexi Rothechilde: ((no weapons other then
the gun))
Alexi Rothechilde: He groans softly.
"Frell..."
Singha : 2,4,3,8,10,3,4,8,
Angelia Caponelli: Ang sits on the ground,
watching as Rust does the rite of cleansing.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She stands there,
next to Angelia, arms crossed as she watches the rites intently, intrigued.
She's gotta learn how to do these things one o' these days...
Laidan: "Dream?" A curious murmur
to the man.
Laidan: 2,5,4,9,2,4,5,
Singha : As
Poppa finishes the Rite of cleansing, Alexi has the incomparable pleasure of
feeling like someone has poured acetone in his bloodstream and set it on fire.
Singha -> Alexi Rothechilde: ((You lose 3 dots of Temp taint. So you now have 2 dots of
permanent and 7 dots of Temp))
Alexi Rothechilde: Alexi screams wordlessly,
jaws clenching tight against the pain as his body jerk's upright and doubles
over, arms curling across his abdomen.
Angelia Caponelli: Winces a little at the
scream as she looks on silently.
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He jumps at
the scream, turning away, leaning against Laidan, eyes pressed shut.
"They're cleansing someone." He says quietly, emotional pain showing
in his voice.
Singha : The
rite is finished. Poppa looks at the bound prisoner and sits down, waiting for
him to come to.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She bites her lip at
Alexi's agonized reaction. Yeah, they're gonna get these fuckers.
Laidan: She flinches, hand coming up as if
to cover her ears, before they wrap around Dream.
Angelia Caponelli: She smiles weakly to
Poppa, "Thank you."
Alexi Rothechilde: Shuddering softly he
peels open narrow, heated brown eyes. "What the fuck?"
Singha : "We'll
see," Poppa says, looking dubious. "I don't think he'll appreciate
our hospitality like he should."
Singha : "You
know how Lords can be."
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: As the
scream goes away, he pulls away from Laidan, looking back to the group. His
hesitance is obvious, fear and sorrow showing in his face, as he watches.
Singha : "You
know how Lords can be."
Singha : ((sorry frikken touchpad))
Alexi Rothechilde: And hearing Poppa, one
raven brow slips upwards as Alexi struggles, his arms bound, into a more
comfortable position.
Angelia Caponelli: She nods a bit and looks
over at the writhing Alexi, "He says he's Alexis' father and that she's
been missing a few days."
Singha -> Alexi Rothechilde: 8,3,5,5,2,1,
Laidan: 6,5,5,2,3,1,5,
Laidan: She hears.... absolutely friggen
nothing. She just keeps a hand on Dream's back.
Singha -> Alexi Rothechilde: 7,10,9,7,7,2,9,8,7,
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She smiles a little
at that, imagining Ingvar, then other, less reasonable Shadow Lords. "True
enough."
Singha -> Alexi Rothechilde: ((oops sorry meant to PM those to myself. *G* but it's just
as well you saw them))
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: Alexis's
father? He bites his lip, and instinctively takes half a step forward, still
holding Laidan's hand.
Singha -> Alexi Rothechilde: ((First was your Dad's GN to resist the appropriation of his
spiritual signature, second was the Doc's roll to create the suit))
Laidan: "Who is it Dream?" She
asks quietly, hand still held in his.
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He leans
down, murmuring to Laidan. "Lex's dad, apparently."
Laidan: She frowns. Deeply. "Lex didn't
like her dad."
Alexi Rothechilde: "Is someone going to
unbind me," he asks, brow still arched as he flicks hard eyes towards the
gathered throng.
Angelia Caponelli: She
glances over at Laidan. "He was coming to 'collect' her. I wasn't too
comfortable with the idea."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She looks to Poppa
Rust. "We cool to untie the guy?"
Singha : "That
depends," Poppa says "On what kind of threat you might continue to
pose. We won't unbind you until we're sure of who you are and why you came
here."
Laidan: Whoa. Hey, Ms. Caponelli is here.
She frowns, agreeing with Ang with a slight nod.
Alexi Rothechilde: "Alexi Gaia's Fang
Rothechilde and given that you just cleansed me, I'd say I pose no
threat."
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He tenses,
as Angelia looks their way, gaze dropping immediately to the ground.
Singha : He
motions to Reyna to chill on the unbinding thing. Maybe--just maybe--there's a
little bit of that BG enjoying having a Lord--and a relatively high ranking one
at that--in this position.
Laidan: She looks like she wants to ask a
question, but her elders are there. So she doesn't.
Singha : "Why
didn't you howl to announce your presence in the city? And why did you attack
others with a tranquilizer gun?"
Angelia Caponelli: She gets up and walks
over to Alexi and smiles down at him sympathetically, "I'm sure Sir, that
you can understand that security protocalls in this situation must be
obeyed." She shushes for Rust to ask his questions.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She grins a little at
that, and nods. She understands the enjoyment of having one over on a Shadow
Lord.
Singha : The
Warder, Ventura Somis, a very beefy, scarred and not to pleasant looking Black
Fury Athro arrives, looking over Alexi.
Alexi Rothechilde: "I had just arrived
this morning." He shrugs as much as the restraints will allow, the gesture
utterly arrogant. "And the young lady was behaving in an uncooperative and
suspicious manner. But then, I would assume that I'm missing some piece of the
puzzle as I'm bound in the center of a cleansing circle."
Singha : "You
were infected by a Weaver bane associated with the Wyrm Creature known as Dr.
Schondorf." Poppa tells Alexi. "How did you come to be
infected?"
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He glances
to the Warder as she strolls up, and keeps his head lowered, eyes cast slightly
up so he can see the proceedings.
Laidan: Laidan listens intently.
Alexi Rothechilde: He frowns, brows
furrowing. "I don't know."
Singha : "Have
you had any communication with Dr. Schondorf?"
Alexi Rothechilde: "No. The only
communication I've had is with business associates in Chicago and with my
daughter's obnoxious voice mail."
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: Schondorf's
name brings a slight curl to his lips, and a desire to kill something, but he
keeps his rage down, just watching.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: Voice mail. "Ah,
shite." She sighs. "Wonder how many other people outside the city
have been called by the lobster posse?"
Laidan: She shifts, biting down the soft
growl.
Singha : "When
did you recieve the communication?"
Alexi Rothechilde: "Which? From her
mother? From my associates, or with her voicemail?"
Singha : "The
voicemail?"
Alexi Rothechilde: He frowns. "I called
her phone yesterday to tell her to be ready and then again this morning, though
I wasn't expecting a response. We're not...On the best of terms."
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He blinks.
His first instinct is, 'Why didn't I think of that? I could've...' Oh, Christ.
He rubs the side of his face, reminding himself to run head-first into a tree
when there aren't people aroung to wonder.
Alexi Rothechilde: He shifts, brushing his
broad shoulder lightly against Ang's thigh if she's still standing close.
Singha : "And
what happened after that?"
Laidan: She frowns. Not entirely trusting a
man that Lex said raped her mother.
Alexi Rothechilde: "I bought a cup of
coffee and went to the park." He frowns. "But that doesn't explain
the dart gun does it? I must have spoken with someone, or seen someone."
Angelia Caponelli: She paces a bit and
frowns.
Singha : "No,
it doesn't explain that. So...if you would? Explain it?"
Laidan: She shifts, and then murmurs to Dream.
Alexi Rothechilde: "I don't know."
Another, eloquent shrug is offered, his expression vaguely irritated.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She frowns, matching
Angelia's expression, as she listen, one arm tucked in the folded other one,
free hand toying with the rose quartz necklace around her neck.
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He shakes
his head to Laidan, murmuring back.
Laidan: She shakes her head a little.
Singha : Poppa
and the Warder exchange glances. Poppa glances to Jeremy and motions him to
come over.
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He responds
quietly.
Angelia Caponelli: She glances to Reyna and
then back down at the man.
Singha : He whispers to Jeremy.
Alexi Rothechilde: He regards Angelia from
beneath a fringe of thick lashes, brow arching. "I suppose it is a good
thing that I have no skill with a gun."
Laidan: She growls gently in response to
what Dream says and then nods. The growl is not at him.
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He looks
over at Poppa and tenses, but nods, approaching hesitantly. A quick glance goes
to Angelia, then Reyna, down to Alexi, before he steps up, head lowered
slightly. "Yes, Rhya?"
Singha -> Jeremy "Dream"
Thomas: "Do you have Truth of Gaia? If so,
could you please activate it? And if not, could you go bring the Truthcatcher
or another philodox who might have it?"
Laidan: She tilts her head as Dream moves
away, shifting a little.
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He nods,
murmuring back.
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas -> Singha :
"I do not have it, Rhya. But I will go
retrieve the Truthcatcher."
Singha : "I
know this is an inconvenience, Gaia's Fang, but we are taking every precaution
due to your unprovoked attack. Please bear with us while we locate the
Truthcatcher."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She watches Dream and
Poppa, eyebrow raised in curiosity.
Alexi Rothechilde: "Understandable.
Though I would appreciate the bindings being removed. I won't try to
leave."
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He nods,
takes several steps back, and puts a hand on Laidan's arm. "I will be
right back." Before heading off, at a run, to find the requested Elder.
Alexi Rothechilde: He shifts a bit, a
slightly puzzled frown flitting across his face.
Singha : "It
would be imprudent," the Warder says "To remove your bindings until
we are sure you don't pose a threat."
Laidan: She nods to Dream, tilting her head
to listen to everything going on better.
Alexi Rothechilde: "One young woman
took me down in a matter of moments. I've grown soft in my old age," he
says, chuckling.
Angelia Caponelli: "There were two of
us Gaia's Fang. Don't feel so bad."
Alexi Rothechilde: "I don't feel bad,
my dear." He flashes Angelia a hint of a smile. "I simply admit that
I've been strategising for far too long."
Singha : "Strategizign
about what?" Poppa inquires
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She chuckles a
little. A Lord admit weakness...between this one and Ingvar, she might just
have to revise her opinion of the Tribe slightly.
Alexi Rothechilde: He tsks his tongue
softly. "Our battle with the Wyrm of course."
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He heads
back, moving along behind the Truthcatcher.
Singha : "And
how did your appearance here in New York fit in with that strategy?"
Ventura asks, geuinely curious
Singha : The
Trutchcatcher looks a bit harried, having had to defend her position quite alot
since her decisions regarding Ang and Ingvar regarding the Asians.
Singha : 3,2,2,9,8,3,
Alexi Rothechilde: "I came to collect
my daugher, who is, by all reports, plumeting off the straight and
narrow."A pause as he glances at Angelia. "Would you be so kind as to
help me to my feet? I would truly like to meet the truthcatcher with my dignity
intact."
Singha : She
looks at Poppa, then to Dream for having filled her in, then regards Alexi,
waiting to hear his answers.
Laidan: She bites her lip. Questions
questions!
Angelia Caponelli: She just gives the
truthcatcher a look and moves over to help Alexi up, "Of course Sir."
Alexi Rothechilde: He grunts and does his
best to help Angelia get him to his feet, gracing her with a brief, warm smile.
"Thank you." Squarning his shoulders he turns his focuse to the Truth
Catcher, nodding his head in deference.
Singha : 2,3,3,9,6,5,
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: Her opinion of
Miranda is obvious from the disdain in her eyes. Bitch rolled over, played
dead. But she remains quiet, merely observing, for now.
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He doesn't
get an opinion of any of the Elders at this point...he's done far worse. He
moves over to Laidan, putting a hand lightly on her shoulder as he watches.
Laidan: She places a hand on Dream's, briefly,
but she listens intently.
Angelia Caponelli: She nods to Alexi and
steps back from him.
Singha : "Please,
Gaia's Fang, repeat your story regarding how you came to be firing a
tranquilizer gun at Miss Caponelli."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She takes a step
closer to Angelia, at her side, patting her shoulder lightly.
Alexi Rothechilde: "We were speaking
and I was asking her questions regarding my daughter's current location. She
hedged and prevaricated. I asked her name and again, she changed the subject,"
he says, glancing appreciatively at Angelia. "I became concerned at her
evasiveness...She suddenly got a headache. i pulled the gun and fired."
Angelia Caponelli: She nods a bit to Reyna.
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He remains
quiet, watching the scene, wondering where Lex is right now, and imagining
where she would be, if not for him.
Singha : "And
why did you fire on her?"
Alexi Rothechilde: "I believed she
posed a threat to me at that moment."
Angelia Caponelli: She frowns.
Laidan: She tilts her head. Annnnd he go the
gun where? Leaning against Dream faintly.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: Her eyebrow is
raised, watching Miranda and Alexi.
Singha : "When was your first contact with Dr. Schondorf?"
Alexi Rothechilde: He frowns, brow
furrowing, knowing he's caught. "Some time ago."
Singha : "How
long ago?"
Alexi Rothechilde: "Late
February."
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: His ears
perk up, and he moves closer, listening intently. How long? He obviously
hadn't known all of Schondorf's operatives...the sentai made that obvious.
Singha : "And
how were you contacted by him?"
Alexi Rothechilde: "A dream."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Now we're
getting somewhere," she mutters under her breath.
Laidan: She frowns deeply, a growl starting
to form in her throat. Thats when Lex was...
Singha : "Describe
the dream."
Angelia Caponelli: She frowns deeply.
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He looks to
Laidan, speaking quietly, so not to disturb. "What is it?"
Alexi Rothechilde: "Alexis heard aman
calling to her...Someone she knew. Someone she loved... She left her house and
went outside and was suddenly on an island and the man was bound, in a pit. The
doctor appeared, looking like something ot of one of the girl's favorite
televsion shows..."
Laidan: A murmur to Dream.
Singha : "And
what was your part in the dream?"
Alexi Rothechilde: "I was Alexis."
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He looks up
at Alexi after Laidan's whisper, eyes wide, confused...and afraid, as the
memory of his own dream that infected him comes back to him.
Laidan: She holds Dream's hand, tightly. And
goes very. Very. VERY. Still.
Singha : "Do
you often dream your are your daugther?"
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She looks over at
Dream and Laidan, brow furrowing. WHOA. They look like kids with their hands
caught in the cookie jar.
Alexi Rothechilde: "All the time."
Laidan: Laidan looks more protective than
anything. And VERY wary of Alexi.
Singha : The
truthcatcher frowns at this, but continues. "Were you infected by the
algorithm at this time?"
Alexi Rothechilde: "I don't know,"
he answers truthfully.
Singha : "Who
gave you the tranquilizer gun that you used to shoot at Ms. Caponelli?"
Alexi Rothechilde: "I'm not sure. It
was with my clothing when I got dressed this morning," he says, brow
arching.
Singha : "Why
did you come to New York?"
Alexi Rothechilde: "To find Miss
Camponelli."
Singha : "Why?"
Angelia Caponelli: (sorry
was getting a drink) "The tranquilizers I use were given to me by Jimmy
several years ago."
Alexi Rothechilde: "Because I want her."
Angelia Caponelli: She blinks and looks to
Alexi alarmed.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She keeps her eyes
shifting between everyone, hiding the fact that she is almost enjoying this
FASCINATING mystery.
Laidan: That makes her shift, that soft
growl still in her throat.
Angelia Caponelli: (doh I totally mis read
there nix that post)
Singha : "For
what reason?"
Alexi Rothechilde: He laughs, brow arching
as his eyes flick to Angelia, raking her figure hungrily. "Because I'd
like to see her writhing at my feet in pleasure."
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He twitches
at that. WANTS ANGELIA? He knows that feeling, and suddenly, he looks
toward the edge of the park, a small lump forming in his throat.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She narrows her eyes,
dangerously. Over my dead coyote ass...
Singha : "What
did you plan to do if your attempt to capture Ms. Caponelli succeeded?"
Laidan: Teeth bared slightly. Shifting next
to Dream.
Angelia Caponelli: She swollows and looks
away. My isn't that grass fascinating.
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: His knees
lose strength at that, and he falls to them, face anguished. He knows that
feeling intrinsicaly. He knows where it comes from. And just like that, the
guilt and shame comes back like a rush, making him tremble.
Alexi Rothechilde: "Do you truly want
me to answer that," he asks, flicking his eyes back to Miranda, his smile
mocking. "I was going to fuck her until she screamed...I was going to play
her."
Laidan: Her growling stops with a soft yelp,
and she goes down with Dream, half trying to catch him. Since he is bigger then
her, this doesn't work well. She makes a worried noise.
Singha : "So...you
admit to planning to violate the Litany?"
Angelia Caponelli: "Laidan, maybe you
could take Jeremy to get some freash air?" She suggest quietly... not that
they aren't out in the middle of a part already.
Laidan: "Yes Ryha." Her voice a
little thick, sliding under Dream's arm and trying to help him up.
Alexi Rothechilde: "And here I'd
thought that the Bone Gnawers had a much more...liberal view of the
Litany...But no. I planned to fuck her, not get her with child. Frankly, i'm
not capable of siring children."
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He stumbles
to his feet, whispering Laidan's direction, directed at her, but not to
her. "I'm so sorry...Jesus..."
Singha : Miranda
considers this, then looks to Poppa, and then the Warder. Then back to Alexi.
"What will you do if we release you?"
Alexi Rothechilde: "Leave."
Singha : "Will
you return to Dr. Schondorf?"
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She watches Laidan
take Jeremy away, sighing a little, sympathy showing in her face, before she
looks back to Alexi. Her lip curls.
Alexi Rothechilde: "He has something I
need, so likely, yes."
Laidan: She makes a soft wolfish noise at
Dream, a croon almost as she starts to lead him off.
Angelia Caponelli: "Even now that
you're cleansed Gaia's Fang do you still want to do these things?"
Singha : "What
does he have that you need and how do you plan to reach him?"
Alexi Rothechilde: "Do I want to fuck
you, Angelia? Yes. I do. You're quite beautiful."
Alexi Rothechilde: "He'll
find me. He holds Alexis' life in his hand."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Yeah, he's all
broke." She says it quietly, shaking her head, stepping back for a moment
to light a cigarette.
Singha : "Do
you plan on getting Alexis back from him or do you plan to join forces with
Schondorf again?"
Alexi Rothechilde: His dark eyes glitter as
he regards Miranda. "What will you do if I bring Alexis back here,"
he asks.
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He lets Laidan
lead him away, stumbling a little bit, sobbing dryly over his whispers.
"Please forgive me...I never would have...but I did. I did..."
Laidan: She tries to stay upright as she
leads Dream away, torn between wanting to comfort him, and tear a few people to
pieces. She nearly stumbles herself, but manages to get her and Dream a
distance away.
Angelia Caponelli: She folds her arms and
finally regains enough of her composure to look back at Alexi.
Singha : "Exorcise
the algorithm from her. Cleanse her."
Alexi Rothechilde: "Will she be
punished," he asks, brow arching. "Will you take her child from
her?"
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She watches Alexi
with a detached disgust, smoking the cigarette. Shaking her head.
Singha : "She
has punishments outstanding, yes. And the disposition of her child depends on
how trustworthy she is after her return."
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He finally
falls back on his ass, leaning forward to rest his elbows on his upraised
kness, and his forehead on his hands. He squeezes his eyes shut, biting into
his lip hard enough to draw blood. Anything to distract from the real pain.
Alexi Rothechilde: "I see." He
nods slowly, tongue worrying at the space between molar and incisor.
Laidan: She crouches down next to Dream. She
whines a bit at the smell of blood but doesn't press the man, just resting a
hand on his back.
Singha : "Do
you plan to join forces with Schondorf again?"
Alexi Rothechilde: "Do I plan to join
Schondorf again...I was never with Schondor, not really. He was just a means to
an end." He shrugs and wyrms his tongue into that small gap again.
Singha : "And
what end is that?"
Angelia Caponelli: Ang frowns deeper as he
wiggles around the question.
Alexi Rothechilde: "Fausto."
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He shakes
his head, whispering quietly to Laidan.
Laidan: 5,7,6,5,10,7,3,
Laidan: 5,
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: 9,1,2,6,5,
Laidan: Her head lifts at something, though
it lowers again to listen to Dream. Something in her has gone horribly tense.
Angelia Caponelli: Ang breaths something
angery sounding in Italian.
Singha : Everybody
present goes quiet at that answer, looking to Miranda, who nods, then shrugs as
if to say "I have no clue ~why~ it's true.."
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: Or would
have, if THAT word didn't come out. He looks up suddenly, licking the blood
from the inside of his lip, and tries to get to his feet. "Bullshit,"
he calls out.
Laidan: She growls slightly. She wants to
speak to the Truthcatcher.
Alexi Rothechilde: "Bullshit,
Dream," he asks, brow arching again.
Laidan: She rises with Dream, for all
intents, she seems to want to talk to Poppa. Nervously, but something is wrong.
Singha : "What is your association with Fausto?" Miranda
asks.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She looks over at
Dream, eyebrow raised.
Alexi Rothechilde: "I'm Voldemort's
Whore. I'm really surprised no one figured it out before now..."
Angelia Caponelli: "I busted you while
you were unconscious in the van. So how the fuck did you do it?"
Alexi Rothechilde: "Do what, Ang'? The
body?"
Laidan: She stops mid-step. The growl dies
in her throat. And she looks so confused. And... hurt.
Singha : Miranda
frowns, and whispers back and forth with Poppa and the Warder.
Angelia Caponelli: "This. Even the
spirits think you're him."
Alexi Rothechilde: "That I'm not quite
sure. The doctor seemed to really enjoy skinning daddy dearest though." He
smiles. "He enjoyed fucking his skinless body even more."
Singha : Poppa
nods to Miranda, and stares at Alexi for a long moment.
Angelia Caponelli: 9,9,9,2,5,
Laidan: She's... stilll. And then she shoves
a hands on her mouth, biting down -hard- and slowly backing away.
Singha : 8,8,6,8,9,8,1,6,
Angelia Caponelli: Ang just stares at Alexi,
her demeanor not shifting in the least. "You're going to tell us
everything that's happened to you starting at the begining."
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He stares
at him, amazed. "What...the...Lex?" Yeah, back down to the knees. He
shakes his head. He's...her?
Alexi Rothechilde: "The
very beginning, or from where Jeremy darted me in my kitchen...Or where he
fucked me...Or where he disappeared on me? Or maybe you want to know about how
I raped Malcolm and beat him bloody?"
Laidan: She backs up, nearly falling over
Dream, managing to just fall beside him instead. Hand still shoved in her
mouth.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She sneers, reaching
inside her jacket, just in case. This crazy bitch/man isn't getting away.
Angelia Caponelli: "Yeah you can start
there. From the kitchen. How'd he get daddy dearest?"
Laidan: She makes a strangled noise in her
throat, half growl, half whine. Pulling her hand out of her mouth and panting.
Twitching.
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He stares
at her, oblivious to everything else but Alexis. Listening, horrified, as he
sees what he did to someone. Helped turn them into....this.
Singha : Poppa
frowns, tilting his head as whatever he does to Lex doesn't work.
Alexi Rothechilde: "Malcolm and the
Doctor and I were talking about the best ways to get to you, babe. The best way
to seduce. And I knew I could never do it...And I knew I could never
impersonate Trevor because I never knew Trevor, I knew Fausto, I knew my
Sirius..." He smiles, tongue sliding across his lower lip. "But I
knew enough of daddy to know that I could pull him off. I knew enough to know
that if the Doc could just make some alterations I could get you alone,
hopefully long enough to dart you, because I knew how much you liked pain and
that slow tease that makes you writhe...I told the Doc all about Daddy...And I
don't know how but he found him...And I got to watch as he skinned him...And he
asked if there was anything I wanted...and I wanted to see the sonofabitch
raped, just like he'd raped momma...So the Doc indulged me and while he did, I
used Malcolm..." He smiles almost fondly. "This fetish was only
supposed to last an hour though..."
Laidan: "This was you all
along...." She says. Eeerily calm as she curls next to Dream. Poised to
attack almost.
Angelia Caponelli: 1,7,10,4,5,
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Oh,
Jesus..." She sneers, looking away, sickened. "Just put it
down."
Angelia Caponelli: Ang takes three steps
forwards and just punches the Alexis/Alexi in the face, or tries to.
Alexi Rothechilde: "Dream, I thought I
was happy until you showed up in my kitchen...I was so wrong..."
Angelia Caponelli: 4,5,7,1,
Laidan: She snarls. "Don't you talk to
him."
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He stares, unable to look away, not listen. Horrified.
This was him. He was like this. He felt these things. And he helped bring them
to the forefront in her.
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: No.
Horrified doesn't describe it properly, especially when she thanks him.
Angelia Caponelli: And apparently is too
angery to actually hit him.
Singha : The
Truthcatcher moves in to intercept Angelia, but moves to late to stop the first
punch.
Singha : 7,2,8,6,3,1,
Alexi Rothechilde: He laughs softly at
Angelia, shaking his head before his eyes flick to Laidan, softening briefly
before that anger slides back into place.
Singha : She
grabs Ang and pulls her back away from Alexi.
Alexi Rothechilde: "DOn't you miss it
Dream? Don't you miss the freedom?"
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: "Laidan,
get out of here. NOW."
Laidan: She snarls and rises. Moving over.
"Don't you talk to him. Don't you talk to anyone."
Laidan: Her clothes are starting to strain,
her form sliding up.
Singha : "You
all can go," The Warder says to them.
Alexi Rothechilde: "This is me,
sweetheart. This is what you let touch you...this is what you let hold you.
This is what you loved."
Angelia Caponelli: She smirks at Alexi as
she gets yanked back, "If you do have occation to talk to the doctor again
you whore, let him know that I'm really looking forwards to paying him back for
every little bruise and cut and hurt he's inflicted on my friends and family."
Laidan: She laughs. And its twisted as her
vocal cords shift. "I did. I did, and isn't it pathetic that I loved
something as sniveling and as low as you? I loved you and tried to help you and
you spat it back in our faces. Its your loss. You're the one alone."
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: Somehow, he finds his way to his feet, looking at Lex,
his eyes haunted, shattered. "Leave her alone. She never hurt you, Lex.
That was me."
Alexi Rothechilde: "She held me down
and made me watch them kill him! Nothing I did was good enough for her.
Ever!" He laughs. "You didn't hurt me, Jeremy...You saved me."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She reaches out,
taking Angelia by the arm, gently. "Come on, hon. Let the nice people do
their work."
Singha : "You
can all GO," the Warder reiterates, looking at Ang, Laidan, Jer and Reyna.
Laidan: "I never made you watch. You
made yourself. Blaming others and never yourself." She says, harshly.
Backing away slightly towards Dream.
Angelia Caponelli: She looks like she might
all out growl but Reyna's presence soothes her. "I'm not very good at
being a rose." She grumbles.
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He looks at
the Warder, nodding numbly, and then to Laidan. "Laidan, please. Come with
me. Get me out of here."
Alexi Rothechilde: He smiles softly at
Laidan but says nothing.
Laidan: She jams her hand back into her
mouth, turning towards Dream. She crouches down by him, helping to get him up.
Angelia Caponelli: She shakes her head and
looks up to Reyna, "Sorry -rhyas, we're leaving."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She leads Angelia
away, slowly, back toward the Bitchmobile. Alexi, she doesn't bother to look
at. Instead, her gaze goes Laidan and Dream, watching the two Garou with
empathy in her eyes.
Alexi Rothechilde: He turns to more fully
face the Warder and Poppa.
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: ((Already
standing. *S*)) He takes Laidan by the hand, giving a last, desolate look at
Lex, before turning his head and walking away, blinking back tears.
Laidan: She starts to move with Dream,
jerkily almost. Her face has too many emotions to count, tears already slipping
out.
Angelia Caponelli: "Can't
we go get him tonight. Just shoot the son of a whore in the head?" She
murmers as she walks off eith Reyna.
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He winces a
little, and moves his hand to take her by the forearm, leading her away.
Alexi Rothechilde: The defiance slips away
as the other's walk off and he sags, chin dipping to his chest. One regret. One
only. "I'm sorry, baby..."
Laidan: She goes where Dream leads her. If he
didn't, she might run back and throat it.
Singha : After
some quiet conferring with the others, Miranda turns to regard Alexi.
"Will you return to work with the Doctor?"
Angelia Caponelli: She climbs up into the
passanger seat and starts digging around for cigarettes and then stops,
catching herself and makes herself stop and take a deep breath.
Alexi Rothechilde: He lifts his head, brow
arching. "Yes."
Singha : "Why?"
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She smiles at Angelia
sadly. "I wish." She takes one last look at Lai and Jer, and sighs,
slipping into the driver's seat. "They don't look so good." It's the
understatement of the year, and she knows it is.
Alexi Rothechilde: "Because I belong
there."
Singha : "Thought
you belonged with Fausto?"
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: His eyes
shut upon hearing this last bit. He did his job well. And with that, he moves
out of hearing range, thank Gaia.
Angelia Caponelli: "I sick." She
says finally. Softly.
Alexi Rothechilde: "He belongs there
too."
Laidan: It happens... out of nowhere. She
starts to cry. There's an undercurrent, a howl struggling to get out that she
fights back. Noises muffled by the hand in her mouth.
Singha : "He
seems to have a different opinion of that."
Alexi Rothechilde: "He's mistaken. He
lost his way..." Alexi shrugs eloquently. "Besides, if i'm not there,
Malcolm becomes anyone's meat...So, another reason to go back, if only to
protect him."
Singha : "And
your child?"
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "So am I, hon.
So am I." She shakes her head, and starts the Bitchmobile up, patting
Angelia's shoulder as she pulls the van out into traffic and away, back home.
Alexi Rothechilde: "Will be mine. She
won't be taken away."
Angelia Caponelli: She pulls her hands up,
rubbing her palms into her eyes. "Why haven't we just blown the son of a
bitch up yet?"
Singha -> Alexi Rothechilde: "You really believe that someone who participated in
what was done to Malcolm will allow you to raise your own child?"
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He shifts
up to Glabro, slipping an arm around her waist, as he leads her away. He's her
support, now. She needs it more.
Laidan: Her good hand tugs at Dream, words
spill past her lips. Understandable, only to him.
Alexi Rothechilde -> Singha : "Why wouldn't he...He knows I'll do it right."
Angelia Caponelli: "And you're not
sick. When he said those things you didn't feel a secret thrill in your belly.
You didn't think for a millisecond, 'I wish he'd done it'." She shakes her
head and takes another deep breath, pulling her hands down. "You think
you've got insight and then something happens and you go 'oh shit, now I really
see'."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Because
we...fuck, I dunno." She shakes her head, a little pale. "He's going
down, Ang. And hard."
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He nods,
and goes to open a door through the Gauntlet for them.
Laidan: She slides through into the Umbra
with Dream.
Singha : The Elders simply stare at Lex, and then they confer for a
few minutes quietly. The Warder and three Guardians lead Lex to Belvedere Castle,
where a warded cell is prepared to hold her.
Alexi Rothechilde: He goes quietly, arrogant
head held high...
Singha : The
cell exists umbrally as well as physically, and the spirits have strengthened
it all.
Singha : "You
will be held here until the Elders decide your punishment."
Angelia Caponelli: She nods a bit and lets
Reyna drive, staring out the window.
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: 3,2,9,2,2,
Alexi Rothechilde: He nods. "May i have
my arms freed?"
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Ahh, no. I was
physically sick." She nods to Angelia. "Hits close to home, I know.
You've got issues. We know this. But you're still here, still fighting on our
side. That says a lot for you."
Singha : "Once
you're inside the cell." And they release the bindings once Alexi's inside
the cell.
Alexi Rothechilde: He nods his thanks and
settles to wait their judgement.
Singha : ((Lex
is watched round the clock by either a kinfolk or Guardian armed with a tranq
rifle. If she attempts to injure herself she's immediately tranqed and
immobolized.))
Alexi Rothechilde: ((A'ight...she won't.))
Angelia Caponelli: She looks back to Reyna,
"I get it... I get it more and more these days. What it does to him. He
had that whore down in the basement... I'm not even mad at him. Hell if I hadn't
just seen him I probably woulnd have been an easier target for Alexis."
Singha : ((and
that's it for me here. *G*))
Alexi Rothechilde: ((*chuckles* Thanks! Twas
fun in a twisted sort of way.))
Angelia Caponelli: (Thanks Singha)
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She nods. "But
you weren't, and thank...someone. C'mon...let's get home. And have many
drinks."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((Thanks, Singha. See
ya!))
Angelia Caponelli: "Yes... I think I
would rather be a thorny vine tonight then a rose."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Thorny vine is
good." She nods, humorlessly. She'll be a bad Nuwisha, and feel no humor
tonight. "It's very good."
Angelia Caponelli: She nods. "Don't let
me hurt myself."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Not a chance,
babe." She smiles a little to Angelia. "Not a chance."
Angelia Caponelli: She smiles a bit sadly
and quiets down for the rest of the trip home.
Angelia Caponelli: (and fade... )
