AdaMas [AM Feb 6th]: [in order for Ang to talk to them
both, this scene would have to take place at the fountain on the Penthouse
Patio]
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((So, who explains
what to Reyna, since it's 3 days between the trial and this scene? Trying to
keep things separate between Reyna & Jer.))
AdaMas [AM Feb 6th]: [well, that would depend on who Reyna
asks to explain it]
Angelia Caponelli : (I think I just filled you in on icq
with enough, page me with questions since ang and rey would have had a few
chances to 'talk' by now)
Angelia Caponelli : ('n yeah, what ever
she ask Adam's... well what ever she asks Adam)
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((She'd ask both of
them. Adam the night of the 3rd, and Ang when she first contacts him.))
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((She's all about
perspective. *G*))
AdaMas [AM Feb 6th]: ((Ask him what? You need to be
specific about this since his answers would be specific to what she asks))
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((What happened
with the hearing? Where's Angelia? How do they get her out? What's the plan?))
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((She'll be holding
herself together okay, with the occasional facial twitch or hint of her frantic
worry that she actually has. She'll try to hide it as well as she can, though.))
AdaMas [AM Feb 6th]: Adam tells Reyna that as far as he
knows, the Asians are holding Ang for trial, citing previous transgressions
against her and will formally try her after the One Who Watches turns himself
into them on Feb 7th.
AdaMas [AM Feb 6th]: Adam plans to turn himself in ~only~
if Ang is absolved from any further prosecution, and he's betting that the
Dragons want him bad enough that they will agree to that trade (the Elders of
the Sept were supposed to forward that demand but they apparently were too cowed
or too lazy to forward it)
AdaMas [AM Feb 6th]: Adam has a ~very~ low opinion of the
Sept Elders regarding this
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: Okay. She bitches a
lot about Sept Elders with less balls then she has, in a figurative (for them)
to literal (for her) sense, and well spend the rest of the time around Adam,
being there for him.
AdaMas [AM Feb 6th]: Meanwhile, Reyna and Karlos are going
to look for the lion cub in the Umbra. Reyna is going to carry the sword for
Karlos and they're going to start at Ellis Island.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: Right.
AdaMas [AM Feb 6th]: Karlos has the sword, but can't carry
it.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: *NOD*
AdaMas [AM Feb 6th]: Adam has chosen Jeremy Thomas and
Ingvar Urgahaldt as his advocates and the Court has agreed to this.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: Okay, that's enough
to bring me up to speed.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: Ahh, unless you're
still going. :)
AdaMas [AM Feb 6th]: Adam's whole demeanor is very calm
and centered, not at all the wreck he is when he's not focused on doing a job.
It's almost eerie the transformation he makes when he has to be 'on' as Mas or
assume a leadership position.
AdaMas [AM Feb 6th]: He does, however, seem to have a
serious relapse after his first discussion with Ang via the fountain.
AdaMas [AM Feb 6th]: ((So yeah...there we go...))
Angelia Caponelli : (*nods*) Mean while
back at the ranch... Ang climbs into the shower and hooks into Mera.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She's there for
him, trying to help him talk through it as usual. But we can assume it led
nowhere, or leave it for another time. *Up to speed now*
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She's out on the
patio, with Adam, of course. She's probably gone through a good ten packs of
smokes in the last three days, and one's burning now.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((The "of course"
referring to being with Adam, not being on the patio.))
AdaMas [AM Feb 6th]: ((probably led nowhere, he's very
closed mouth and simply spends alot of time fetal, then goes out and does his
Mas stuff, then comes back and either showers or goes fetal again))
AdaMas [AM Feb 6th]: He's sitting, meditating in front of
the Fountain, doing his best to stay focused.
AdaMas [AM Feb 6th]:
2,5,5,6,10,
AdaMas [AM Feb 6th]:
5,4,4,
AdaMas [AM Feb 6th]:
5,8,7,10,8,8,3,
AdaMas [AM Feb 6th]: He's holding things together through
sheer force of will.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She stands near
him, ignoring the cold as best she can. The duster helps, but she IS a Southwest
girl at heart. She watches him, waiting.
Angelia Caponelli : Ang plugs in and
feels around the mental scape. ~Hello?~
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ~Hey, hon.~ She
smiles a little. ~How you holdin' up?~
Angelia Caponelli : ~Mostly bored. Ingvar
came today.~
AdaMas [AM Feb 6th]: He's very reserved, very in control.
~hello, Angelia.~
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ~Yeah, that would
bore me, too.~ Again, the Humor's still going.
Angelia Caponelli : Ang's attention
focuses on Adamas, acknowledging with out words his greeting since she's
respecting his request not to call him 'Love'.
AdaMas [AM Feb 6th]: ~They will bring my demands. you will
be free, or I will not surrender.~
Angelia Caponelli : ~There must be
another way~
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She lets them talk.
Merely listening at this moment.
AdaMas [AM Feb 6th]: ~Angelia, this is what you wanted.
You and Reyna both.~
Angelia Caponelli : ~I never wanted you to
turn yourself in to them like this.~
AdaMas [AM Feb 6th]: ~It is a consequence of your
insistence that I wield the sword~
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She frowns a little
at that, but thinks on it.
Angelia Caponelli : ~You don't weild the
sword though.~
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ~That's not what he
said, hon. He's saying that by insisting he wield it, we set him on a road that
went where we didn't expect.~
AdaMas [AM Feb 6th]: He waits for Reyna to explain this,
since he never seems to be able to reach Ang with these types of discussions.
Angelia Caponelli : ~I see.~
Angelia Caponelli : ~Do you still think
that they will trade me for you?~
AdaMas [AM Feb 6th]: ~I have little trust that the spirits
will allow me to succeed, and even less faith in my ability to lead you all to
victory in my current state. Bt I will do my best.~
AdaMas [AM Feb 6th]: ~Of course, Angelia. Who doesn't
trade a corporal for a General?"~
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ~We wanted him to
accept what we thought he was meant to accept. That by accepting this, maybe he
would be able to come to terms with a lot of things, and he would be vindicated
for his actions. What's happened, though, is that the road we put him on has
taken an unexpected path through trial-town. But he's saying that maybe this WAS
what he was meant to accept. The destination's the same. We just got detoured by
fate.~
Angelia Caponelli : ~I don't know. I
wasn't sure if they would try and hold me to have something over you.~
AdaMas [AM Feb 6th]: ~With the Garou's request to observe
the proceedings I imagine they are being quite circumspect as to when and where
they assert their pressure. The biggest issue at stake is that they have named
Ellis Island as the neutral location for the trial.~
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ~If I'm wrong
there, jump on in and correct me.~
Angelia Caponelli : ~Snake's home...
they want to rub it in his face. Strike him down in his own living room.~
AdaMas [AM Feb 6th]: He nods to Reyna, patting her
reassuringly. As if to say she's right.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She falls quiet at
the discussion of Ellis Island.
AdaMas [AM Feb 6th]: ~No, Angelia. They are not interested
in petty vengeance. They are and always have been after territory. And with the
'security measures' they'll have to take to avoid my escape, they will basically
occupy that island. And then find no reason to relinquish it, especially if the
Sunset has allowed Hudson to be poisoned.~
Angelia Caponelli : ~If we can find a way
to clean the Hudson by then?~
AdaMas [AM Feb 6th]: ~By tomorrow? Doubtful.~
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ~You'd think the
Garou would have figured this one out. Excuse me for saying this, Angelia, but
your Elders suck balls.~ She sighs and shakes her head, amazed. ~So, do we try
to change the venue somehow, or do we deal with what we've been dealt?~
Angelia Caponelli : ~Oh Reyna.... You
didn't stand there and watch them insult one of the elders and then her /thank/
them for it... but I digress. Any ideas bout turning the island to our favor?"
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ~Personally, when
I'm dealt a shit hand, I always try to have a few aces palmed, just in case. We
have any?~
AdaMas [AM Feb 6th]: ~Of course I have ideas, Angelia. I'm
a strategst.~
Angelia Caponelli : ~Anything I need to
know?~
AdaMas [AM Feb 6th]: ~not until you're free from their
custody.~
Angelia Caponelli : ~Of course.~
AdaMas [AM Feb 6th]: He doesn't say anything. Simply
there.
Angelia Caponelli : ~I'm sorry~ She says
after a moment, directed towards Adam.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She looks at Adam,
head tilted in her trademarked way.
AdaMas [AM Feb 6th]: ~Don't be. It is my failure, not
yours.~
Angelia Caponelli : ~I'm still sorry. I'm
here. Alone with far too much time to think. We will talk about those things
when all this is over."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She nods a little,
smiling at that.
AdaMas [AM Feb 6th]: He smiles, wistful, and Ang can
feel the sadness leaking through his self control. ~I do love you, Angelia. To
the degree that I am able.`
Angelia Caponelli : ~I know you do.~
Angelia Caponelli : ~No matter what
happens... remember Lady White Snake's story alright?~
AdaMas [AM Feb 6th]: ~I will.~ He nods, and his smile
falters. ~Give my regards to the children. And...say hello to Nathaniel.~
Angelia Caponelli : ~I will as soon as I'm
able.~
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She frowns a little
at that. She recognizes what he's doing.
AdaMas [AM Feb 6th]: ~As soon as you're clear of the
Dragons, make sure you're not being followed. Physically or spiritually. And go
to the Concerto, so that you can interfere with any scrying on you.~
AdaMas [AM Feb 6th]: ~I am the brother of the man who last
sat upon the Diamond Throne. It's best that I assume it.~
Angelia Caponelli : Ang seems briefly
confused by 'brother' there. ~I'll go. Will Karlos be expecting me?~
AdaMas [AM Feb 6th]: ~Yes.~
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: Brother? She
furrows her brow, taking a drag from her cigarette, and listens.
Angelia Caponelli : ~Will I be able to
talk to you again between now and then?~
AdaMas [AM Feb 6th]: ((Oops...not brother...Father. Doh.))
AdaMas [AM Feb 6th]: ~I will be here this evening for you,
if you like.~
Angelia Caponelli : (thank you now it
makes MUCH more sense)
Angelia Caponelli : ~I would like that.
Yes. I should get going now though... be well. You as well Reyna. I'll see you
soon.~
AdaMas [AM Feb 6th]: ~Take care, Angelia.~
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ~Love you, hon. Be
well.~
Angelia Caponelli : ~I love you both~
And her presence fades out.
Angelia Caponelli : (And bed for me! Night
night!)
AdaMas [AM Feb 6th]: ((night, Ineed sleep too. *hugs*
thanks or the RP))
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((~Hugz to both~
See you guys!!))
