Singha: ((Okami-p is unable to join us today but I figured we could put you all in a room and see how you settle out together))

Karlos Basoalto: ((You smell funny. You ALL smell funny! *G*))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((you're welcome.))

Singha: ((Said by the genderswap king/queen...not ~that's~ gotta smell funny to an animal...male--no wait, female--no wait! Uh....))

Karlos Basoalto: (( =^_^= ))

Singha: ((and Nab/Silkie-p is studying for midterms so will not be joining us either))

Angelia Caponelli: (nods)

 

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((I predict wacky hijinks.))

Karlos Basoalto: ((The best kind!))

Angelia Caponelli: (Wacky Hijinks is fun. I'll get the Mystery Machine)

Singha: ((but there are lots of things I think you guys need to shake out, and info that each holds that might be pertinent to what's going to unfold, so i thought it important to drag you all together and get this party started))

Karlos Basoalto: ((So, why are we all here? I mean, Karlos lives here, but what's y'all excuses? *G*))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((*Raises hand, points at Singha* thank you. I was trying to translate "*twitch, twitch*" into something just like that.*EG* okay. getting IC))

Karlos Basoalto: ((Shall we say Karlos calls y'all up to hammer out a few things? Or would Ang like that pleasure? :) ))

Singha: ((On Feb 13th, the Asian General, Jinchiro Satu, arrived at the K-R. He spoke briefly with Ang, then had a conversation with the building after which he was admitted to the elevator. He exited the elevator several hours later, looking quite thrashed.))

Angelia Caponelli: (Reyna's staying with me so that's easy. Ingvar was calling in the morning any how. Karlos can call Mal if he's in)

Singha: There has been no furter strange behavior from the building.

 

Angelia Caponelli: (*nods* So where are we picking up. That night or the next day?)

: ((Ang, did you call Nabs?))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((The next day. That night Ingvar will be nowhere easily found.))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((Ingvar did))

Angelia Caponelli: (*hugs and nods* Hey hun I thought you were studying)

Singha: ((Whenever after that event you wish to pick up. Call who you wish to call. Since Ang committed the Body to watch over the building, she may want to collect them all and tell them once again she's spoken for them all without checking with any of them. *G*))

: ((I am. *c* Taking a play break.))

Karlos Basoalto -> Singha: 10,7,6,5,7,8,

Angelia Caponelli: (Well actually Ang commited to watching the building until the body was reformed and asked that it then be put in their trust... but yes. She would have contacted as many of them as possible.)

Karlos Basoalto -> Singha: 8,7,8,2,4,

 

Nabiki Tala'mau: *arrives without fanfare*

Karlos Basoalto: ((Not sure if I'm here. Go ahead without me for now))

Singha: ((For floorplan of the penthouse public areas 9except for the patio, which has a fountain, a reflecting pool and a tall hedge surrounding a nice lawn with (in the spring) yellow flowers, click on the link at the top of this page)

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She's already there, hanging out in the couch area with a cigarette burning between her lips and a tequila sunrise in front of her.

Angelia Caponelli: Angelia's gone for an uncharacteristically, modest and feminine look. With a high necked, long sleeved deep deep blue, form fitting sweater, with a modest, just past the knee, smokey grey skirt. Her long, pale hair is pulled back in a tight, waist length, simple braid, tied at the end with a dark blue ribbon. Her make up's been kept soft and simple, and she wears no jewelry but the plain, steel ring around her right thumb.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *The 'work' attire is becoming a bit more frequent of late. No suit, the dark canvas clothing with sleeves cuffed precisely at mid forearm, he stands near the view, hands clasped at the small of his back.* Why exactly does this building need protection?

Nabiki Tala'mau: *Quietly seated, awaiting the others.*

Nabiki Tala'mau: *Sipping tea, if repast is offered.*

 

Angelia Caponelli: She nods to Nabiki as the woman arrives and goes back to pouring tea. She seems much more calm and at ease now. "How did it go Sister?" She asks, extending a small tea cup to Nabiki.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: Meanwhile, everyone's favorite coyote-girl has gone the other route, wearing a black turtleneck, jeans, and her Docs. Her duster rests next to her, in case they have to go somewhere.

Nabiki Tala'mau: "Decisions were made, Angelia." Voice a soft purr. The woman is reserved as ever.

Karlos Basoalto -> Singha: Karlos calls Malc to come with.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Checks his phone, then his watch.. a distant part of the dusky Judge finds himself worried a touch over Dream's arrival.*

Angelia Caponelli: "Good... do you care to share them with us Nabiki?"

Silkie: *The door opens if it's unlocked, and Silkie enters. She uniquely clean, dressed in blue jeans and a long sleeved white tee-shirt under a long brown leather coat. Her clothes are a bit too large for her, and her mane of black curls has been tamed into a hundred or so thin, glossy black braids woven with colorful beads. She's hand-in-hand with Kristjan.*

Nabiki Tala'mau: "I hov resarevaciones regarding dis new direction. I hove stayed for day New Year, Angelia. Bot I believe my role in day body eez finished."

Kristjan Ivanov: He trails a half step behind her as they enter, letting go of her hand to rest his hand lightly between her shoulderblades. It's a supportive position, no sign that he's trying to guide her anywhere.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He glances toward the door, then turns back to the window, checking his watch again with a slight frown. Perhaps he is just busy... he takes no real notice of the new arrivals aside from a slight nod.*

 

Silkie: She stops just inside the room, looking over the gathering, eyes resting a little longer on Ingvar perhaps, than the others. "Sea sent me," she announces softly.

Angelia Caponelli: She glances to the others and then back to Nabiki with an understanding not. "Dream contacted me last night and indicated that he too will be leaving the body."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She stays quiet, listening to Angelia and Nabiki speak. She's in a relaxed, easy stance, her expression mildly curious over the dynamics that are probably going to come into play.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *As pale eyes scrape the skyline, he cants an eyebrow... Bozmeg.. no Nabiki.. this is not looking good.*

Kristjan Ivanov: He gives Ingvar a light nod in return, and smiles to Reyna. After half a second of looking at Ang he smiles, and then nods.

Karlos Basoalto: He enters the Penthouse, Malcolm at his heels, and glances around slowly.

Nabiki Tala'mau: "Parehops day Body eez no more. Eet will be replaced, I expect, by someting new, eh?"

Ingvar Urgahaldt: Did he say why? *He looks at Angelia as he speaks.*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She offers a quick, warm smile to Kristjan.

Angelia Caponelli: "The body will change and adapt as is needed Nabiki." She looks over the others, nods to Mal and Karlos with a pleasent smile. "I wish you will on your future indevers sister."

 

Angelia Caponelli: "Yes Ingvar, he's been called to another task."

Singha: Malc smiles a greeting to everyone, carefully keeping his head below Karlos' making him walk in a bit of a hunch.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He sits in the nearest available chair, draping one knee over the other as he smoothes an eyebrow. He nods to Karlos and Malcom as they enter.* Gentlemen.

Kristjan Ivanov: He slips further out of Karlos' way, pretty much ignoring him otherwise, but Malc gets a warm smile.

Karlos Basoalto: He glances to Reyna. Clears his throat. "Put that out, please?"

Nabiki Tala'mau: "Tonk you, Angelia. I will be raturning to Afrika." And she rises. Her role here is finished. She heads for the door.

Karlos Basoalto: He steps aside for Nabiki, gazing at her, offering his hand to her.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Pale eyes follow the woman as she leaves.*

Nabiki Tala'mau: *A nod to the others in passing, and she's out the door.*

Nabiki Tala'mau: *Pauses to shake Karlos' hand.*

 

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She nods to Karlos. "Of course." And out it goes.

Karlos Basoalto: He nods to Nabiki and murmurs softly to her in Afrikaans. Then he watches her leave.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He flickers through a quick headcount, tallying up what he knows of those left... which leaves a short list for now.*

Karlos Basoalto: Then he moves toward Ingvar, reaches past, and opens the patio door to let fresh air in.

Silkie: *Watches Nabiki leave, and looks around at the others present.*

Karlos Basoalto -> Singha: 2,5,8,

Angelia Caponelli: She watches Nabiki go and looks back to Karlos, "Dream has left the body as well." She says softly. "He has been called to another task."

Singha -> Singha: 6,1,9,7,9,7,6,8,9,

Nabiki Tala'mau: *Briefly squeezes Karlos' shoulder, and then she's through the door, and gone.*

 

Kristjan Ivanov: (Sorry. Back.) He presses lightly at Silkie now, to guide her toward Reyna.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Remains still, but his eyes follow Karlos until he turns away to move back into the room.*

Silkie: *Glances up at Kristjan, then moves towards Reyna, sitting beside her.* (if she's seated?)

Karlos Basoalto: "I have... a difficulty that I feel needs to be addressed." He glances to Malcolm, then around the room once more. "I do not think I can remain Neutral if I allow myself to become beholden to the Court."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She moves the duster to the floor in front of her and smiles at Silkie as she sits down. "Hey."

Silkie: "Hi Reyna." Pets the other woman's hair.

Kristjan Ivanov: He moves to stand behind Silkie and Reyna, one hand resting on Silkie's shoulder, the other toying absently with the fabric of the couch.

Angelia Caponelli: She looks over Karlos thoughtfully, "I supose that's true."

Karlos Basoalto: He nods slightly. "It is true."

Silkie: *Listens to the others.*

 

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She smiles Silkie's way, then looks over to Karlos and Angelia's conversation, an eyerbow raised slightly as she listens.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: A minor point, but telling... as of yet, there is no plan that I am aware of for the sentai to be beholden to the Court. *He tilts his head slightly, watching Karlos. Confusion hidden by a careful mask.*

Singha: He smiles softly to himself as he looks around the room, moving over to pat the couch, as if it's a fondly missed pet.

Karlos Basoalto: "I was advised by Dream that the Body would answer to the Court."

Angelia Caponelli: She nods to Karlos, "What would you like to do?"

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Pale eyes focus on Karlos.* Not so long as the Court vigorously seeks the extermination of Firesnake. Dream has left. His input is secondary at this point.

Silkie: *gives Malcolm a curious look and looks down at the couch, running a hand over the fabric*

Karlos Basoalto: "Well, I am asking for your advice on this issue."

Ingvar Urgahaldt: I see. *A slight nod as he considers.*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She frowns a little as she considers options.

Karlos Basoalto: "I would assume that Kristjan and Silkie are here for a reason. Kristjan would make a suitable Heart." He glances to the boy.

Silkie: Smiles at Ingvar's words. She for one is not here to help exterminate Firesnake either. She searches her memories for what she knows of courts.

Singha: The fabric of the couch isn't fabric, it's sable mink. Both couches, the chair, and the throw rug beneath the large black granite coffee table are all sable mink.

Angelia Caponelli: She pours more tea as she thinks and hands out the small little cups to anyone who wants them. "I think that with the treaty mostly ignored my most factions that more good can be done by aligning with the courts then by remaining neutral."

Ingvar Urgahaldt: A heart cannot be neutral, this is true. It must provide fire and drive. *His empty gaze flicks to Kristjan.* Mr. Ivanov. Why would you make a suitable heart?

Silkie: *Glances towards Karlos, then tilts her head back for an upside-down smile at Kristjan.*

Karlos Basoalto: He raises an eyebrow at Angelia. "I beg your pardon? I think you'll find the only people who ignore the Treaty are the Dragons!"

Kristjan Ivanov: He gives Ingvar a puzzled look, but stays quiet for now.

Singha: "The treaty isn't ignored by most factions," Malcolm says, regarding Ang intently. "Unless the Garou are doing something i'm not aware of?"

Angelia Caponelli: She raises an eyebrow slightly at Karlos, "The garou, sadly, have little drive to inforce it either or they would never have handed Ingvar and I over to those who were breaking it. And the evil things that we fight... they do not exactly follow the rules either."

 

Singha: "And technically, the Dragons formally withdrew from the Treaty when the One Who Watches wasn't delivered to them as per their requests."

Kristjan Ivanov: "I'm not terribly familiar with the term...." He says to Ingvar cautiously. He really doesn't know what they want with him.

Silkie: "If we join the courts, perhaps we can fix the Dragons? We'll be closer to them... won't we?" *Her resolve to finish cleansing Jimmy burning bright in those deep amethyst eyes.*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She leans forward, picking up her mixed drink from the table and taking a sip. "Yeah, I don't really think that the treaty should be dropped for the sake of just the Courts. 'Plunged Into Violence' wouldn't be a good look for the city."

Karlos Basoalto: "You..." There's an anger mounting in his eyes. Something that, with just a little extra help, could become outright fury. "How... Just..." He shakes his head. Slowly closes the patio door. "You may not give a shit. But I do. I wish you all well." He turns and heads for the door, beckoning for Malcolm to follow.

Singha: He hesitates, glancing after Karlos, then toward the rest of them.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She blinks at Karlos's rising anger, honestly surprised by it.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He nods to Kristjan.* As the Dragons are the ones violating the treaty, and the sentai is the only body actively opposing them, serving as its heart would seem to fall in line with your own goals as well. *He looks toward Karlos as he speaks.*

Angelia Caponelli: She nods to Silkie before looking over Karlos. "I did not say I didn't care." She says softly. "Only what I thought."

Singha: "Karlos..."

Kristjan Ivanov: He raises a hand to wave to Malcolm, with a quick smile. It's not a convincingly happy smile, more apologetic really.

Karlos Basoalto: He snarls slightly and rests his hand on the door. "The Dragons are not members of the Treaty. They declined the invitation with their actions. The Garou do not have to enforce the Treaty. That is my job, not theirs. Any other callous disregard for everything we've worked years to achieve, or are you done, Angelia?"

Silkie: (Who is Karlos' anger aimed at?) Silkie turns her eyes towards Karlos.

Silkie: (nm *c*)

Singha: At that he bens his head lower and moves toward the door to join Karlos.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Karlos, hold up." She looks around the room, then gets up, moving after him.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He rises from the chair, moving toward Karlos.* Mr. Basoalto, may I speak with you in the hall for a moment? *He appears wholly unaffected by the anger, coming to a stop only a few feet away.*

Angelia Caponelli: "No Karlos, it is not callus at all. I have worked hard for the treaty as have we all. I hope that once we are part of the court we will, as Ingvar points out, be able to bring them back to the fold."

Singha: He smiles softly at Reyna as she joins them, and gives a sad little grin and wave to Kris and Silkie.

Karlos Basoalto: "And I hope you can achieve that, too. But if I join you, there will be no Treaty left for them to join! Melody isn't strong enough yet. She can't hold it together, not even with Damon beside her." He glances to Ingvar, then gives a nod, and steps outside without another word.

 

Singha: He seems somewhat wary of Ingvar and makes sure to interpose himself between Karlos and Ing protectively.

Singha: Unless, of course, Karlos tells him to stay inside with the others.

Silkie: *Small smile at Malcolm, scooting over to pat the couch beside her.*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She puts a hand on Karlos's shoulder, a comfortable, supportive gesture, then lets him head outside with Ingvar.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He gestures to the door behind Malcom, distant disbelief on his face.* Excuse me?

Angelia Caponelli: Watches them go and sits down to sip at her tea.

Silkie: (damn my slow typing - dlp)

Singha: He moves to allow ingvar past and then looks to karlos through the open door as if to ask if he's to join them or stay with the others.

Karlos Basoalto: ((To the Residence room with Karlos, Malc and Ingvar))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: And then she considers Karlos's mood, and Ingvar's tendancy to be...brusque, and decides to slip outside with them, after a quick look back to the rest.

Angelia Caponelli: Everyone goes outside. Ang looks to Krist and Silkie then. "Silkie... will you be helping us help the Dragons?"

Silkie: *She's not following anyone who looks that pissed off. She snags a cookie off the table.*

Singha: The fire in the fireplace burns a bright electric blue. must be from natural gas or something.

Kristjan Ivanov -> Singha: Has it been burning that color?

Silkie: Ang> "Sea has bid me to join the Body and carry her influence into the courts."

Angelia Caponelli: She looks towards the fire and then back to Silkie with a nod. "It will be good to have you as a sister Silkie."

Singha -> Kristjan Ivanov: ((It' always has been that color since the dream stuff with ADam last August))

Kristjan Ivanov -> Singha: *nods* Thanks.

Kristjan Ivanov: "You're joining the courts?" He asks Angelia quietly.

Singha -> Kristjan Ivanov: ((tho it has at times been more purple or more yellow))

 

Kristjan Ivanov -> Singha: (Any trends he knows about?)

Silkie: Smiles brightly at Ang. "You've always had me as a sister."

Angelia Caponelli: She nods to Kristjan, "I believe it is right for me to stop straddling lines and choose one place and thing to be."

Singha -> Kristjan Ivanov: (roll per+enig))

Silkie: "One fish can do little things, but a school can shape the lives of others."

Singha: ((god, Silkie so rawks. So unabashedly Silkie. *G*))

Kristjan Ivanov -> Singha: 7,10,7,

Silkie: ((*blushes*))

Kristjan Ivanov: "I know how you feel." He sighs. "Do you know what's happening with Mas?"

Singha -> Kristjan Ivanov: ((Kris has noticed that the fires burn yellow usually before the new and full moon, when Soul is hungriest and burn more intensely blue right after the new and full moon, after Adam has fed her. The only time it burned purple was when Malcolm and Karlos fed Soul from the Heaven drug Malcolm took.00

Angelia Caponelli: (*g*) She shakes her head to Kristjan, "He's been in Karlos' care since the trial."

Angelia Caponelli: She smiles over to Silkie and pats the couch next to her. "Thank you Silkie."

Singha -> Kristjan Ivanov: ((So Kris can assume that Soul has been well fed recently))

Silkie: *Glances at the door. So that's where he went.*

Kristjan Ivanov: "I know. I spoke with him. He thinks he has to return to what he was, but he's rather confused about it. And it's hardly like Karlos and I can discuss it." He sighs.

Kristjan Ivanov -> Singha: (*nod-nod*)

Kristjan Ivanov -> Singha: Thanks much.

Silkie: Moves to sit beside Angelia. "I'll help in any way that I can." Giving Ang that innocent smile of hers. Something ancient, yet pure, lying behind those wide eyes.

Angelia Caponelli: "What he was... as in a simba?" SHe asks Krist curiously.

Kristjan Ivanov: "That's what I think. But I don't know how to do that. And Karlos is keeping him inside. It's Mas, you know that will make him crazy." He turns pleading ees on Ang.

 

Angelia Caponelli: "I'm not exactly the best person to speak to Karlos these days but I will try."

Kristjan Ivanov: (eyes)

Silkie: "He's a prisoner?" Scowling darkly.

Angelia Caponelli: "Maybe Silkie can help?"

Kristjan Ivanov: "I could talk to Malcolm. But Malcolm isn't...he would ask, I think, but he doesn't challenge Karlos at all."

Silkie: "I'll ask Karlos to let me see him."

Kristjan Ivanov: "Karlos wants to protect him from the Dragons. But he's got him and Ellen and the baby pretty much confined to one place, inside. He's not a prisoner."

Silkie: *Perks up.* "Ellen was rescued?"

Angelia Caponelli: "The bad dragon's brainwashed Mas and Karlos has been helping undo the damage they did to him," She explains to Silkie.

Kristjan Ivanov: "Yeah. I met her when I went to see Mas."

 

Silkie: Nods. "He might need to be there then. But I'll visit him if I can."

Kristjan Ivanov: "He doesn't know Karlos. Or if he did he doesn't really remember. I'm not sure it's the best place for him to be."

Silkie: "He might need licking. Taint seems to hound his trail like slime on a hagfish."

Angelia Caponelli: She nods to Silkie, "That might help. Kristjan, Karlos has skills with the mind that no one else does."

Silkie: "Don't worry, Kristjan. I'll make sure he's okay."

Kristjan Ivanov: "Sure." He says to Ang. He doesn't like leaving Mas with Karlos at all, apparently.

Kristjan Ivanov: He nods to Silkie. "Good."

Silkie: *Snags another cookie off the plate and fetches some tea.* "Want some, Kristjan?"

Kristjan Ivanov: "No. I'm okay."

Silkie: *Stuffs the whole cookie in her mouth to free her hands for tea pouring.*

 

Silkie: *Sits down and samples the tea. Mmm. Bitter. It needs chocolate.*

Silkie: "They're certainly taking a long time."

Silkie: *Looks towards the door Karlos, Ing and Rey passed through.*

Kristjan Ivanov: "Yeah...."

Silkie: "Should we go join them?"

Kristjan Ivanov: "I'm not sure that'd be a great idea."

Silkie: *Decides tea isn't all that tasty and sets the cup on the table.*

Angelia Caponelli: (sorry kitties got out. One was hiding!)

Silkie: Kristjan> "Do you like my hair this way?" *tosses the curtain of braids*

Angelia Caponelli: She reaches over for a sugar cube and hands it to Silkie. "Try this."

 

Silkie: *the beads jingle and click*

Kristjan Ivanov: He smiles and reaches out to run a finger over the little braids. "Yeah. It's cool."

Silkie: *Takes the sugar cube and pops it in her mouth, letting it melt on her tongue.* "Mmmm.. sweet."

Angelia Caponelli: She smiles a bit and leans back, "I thought you would like it."

Silkie: *Leans into Ang a little and yawns.*

Angelia Caponelli: Ang drapes an arm around Silkie, stroking her braids lightly.

Silkie: *Her eyes flutter closed. Warm and safe. She can have a little nap.* ((grabbing food, Silkie will nap while I'm gone for a bit))

Kristjan Ivanov: He watches Angelia, not warily, not glaring, just watches her move.

Angelia Caponelli: She just sits comfortably with Silkie, stroking her hair with one hand, sipping tea from the other. "Would you like a drink Kristjan?"

Kristjan Ivanov: He shakes his head at her lightly. "Do you know anymore about what's going on with Adam?" He asks softly.

Angelia Caponelli: "Yes and no. I know he intentionally infected himself with a tainted algirhythm so that we can use him to track down the Doctor."

Kristjan Ivanov: His eyes widen slightly at that, but he just nods. "Soon, right?"

Singha: He re-enters the Penthouse, smiling at the others. "We're back."

Singha: ((yeah that would be MAlc))

Singha: Malc holds the door open for the others, acting the part of the gracious host--or well trained servant. Tough call.

Karlos Basoalto: He strides back into the Penthouse, following Reyna and Ingvar.

Silkie: *Opens her eyes when the door opens.*

Kristjan Ivanov: "Hi," he says, kinda distractedly to Malcolm. He's still caught up in whatever he's talking about with Ang, which with his half-terrified look, can't be a good subject.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: Thank you, Mr. Dewitt. *Whether he is talking about the door or something else, he leaves for the young man to decide as he moves back toward the chair.*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She walks back in, at the back of the group, a small lopsided grin on her face.

 

Singha: When they're all through, he closes the door and asks 'May I offer any drinks to anyone?"

Karlos Basoalto: He smiles softly to Malcolm, murmuring "Water, please."

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He shakes his head with a short, rumbling grunt as he sits back down.*

Singha: He smiles back at Kris, tho his mouth twists a bit with concern at the other boy's look. 'Everything alright?"

Singha: He nods to Karlos then heads off to bring a tray of drinks, bringing back whatever anyone asks for, plus a few extras in case people change their minds.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She shakes her head. "My alky-hawl is still waiting for me, thanks. Looks lonely, too." She walks over to it, picking it up, and takes a seat next to Angelia, smiling at her.

Silkie: *Curled against Ang's side on the couch, looking sleepy.* "Is there cocoa?"

Silkie: (Sorry Rey, that spots taken. *c*)

Angelia Caponelli: (returns sorry)

Kristjan Ivanov: He looks up at Malcolm, over the other people, and nods. "Just talking to Angelia. Everything's fine." Which it isn't, but he gets back enough actual composure to say it without sounding about to panic. Really nothing to be done for the eyes, but the posture and the tone change.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((Pah. There's two sides to a couch, 'less Kristjan's on the other side. *G*))

Angelia Caponelli: She looks over to the others and smiles to Reyna and Ingvar, "Everything sorted out?"

Angelia Caponelli: (there's lots of me to get around)

Karlos Basoalto: His glance slides over Kristjan, looking... sad? betrayed? for a moment. Then he simply moves to the fireplace, sitting cross-legged on the floor beside it and taking his drink from Malcolm with a quiet thanks.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He blinks at Kris briefly, then glances at Angelia.. and puts that away for now.*

Karlos Basoalto: ((Naw, Ang's a midget *G*))

Angelia Caponelli: (*hangs head sadly* I am)

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *The deep rumble of his voice manages to reach across the room with little trouble. Pervasive, but quiet.* We have a heart?

Singha: He finishes handing out drinks to all and sets the tray on the coffee table, giving Kris a reassuing pat before moving to sit beside karlos on the floor.

 

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She nods to Angelia. "We're five-by-five, I think."

Angelia Caponelli: She smirks at Reyna faintly, "No going all Faith on me." She glances to Ingvar then to Kristjan and Karlos, "I'm not sure, do we?"

Silkie: "Five by five?" *Smiles at Malcolm and sits up some to take the cocoa.*

Singha: He smiles dreamily back at Silkie, and it's clear, even now, he has a sort of crush on her.

Karlos Basoalto: "Is that a block of wood?" He frowns at Reyna, sipping his water.

Angelia Caponelli: She shifts over once Silkie sits up, still sipping at her tea.

Angelia Caponelli: "No it's a staying it means, we're square. We're okay."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She chuckles, as Angelia gets the reference, and sips the drink. "Aww, but I wanna go all Faith. She's the coolest."

Kristjan Ivanov: "Right. Should I go then?" Remarkably enough, the question isn't addressed to Reyna or Malcolm, but to Ang.

Karlos Basoalto: "You're slipped into popculture-speak, I think..." He glances questioningly to Malcolm, his finger on the pulse of the hip slang of the yoof.

Singha: He shrugs to Karlos, as if to say 'Don't watch that show..."

Silkie: *winks at Malcolm and sips the cocoa.*

Angelia Caponelli: Rolls her eyes at Reyna, "Until she went all psycho." She holds up a finger to Kristjan and looks over to Karlos, "Did you come to a conclusion?"

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He laces powerful fingers together, pale eyes never wavering from Karlos as he waits.. so focused its unclear whether anything else exists at all.*

Silkie: "Where you going Kristjan?"

Karlos Basoalto: He looks to Angelia. "Yes," he says quietly. "The Body retains its Heart."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "She got better..." Said quietly, and then she falls silent, letting them get back to business.

Angelia Caponelli: She nods to Karlos with a warm smile, "I'm glad to hear it Karlos."

Singha: He smiles and puts a hand on Karlos back, a gesture of affection and support.

 

Silkie: *Smiles brightly at Karlos.*

Kristjan Ivanov: "Mmmmm...no idea." He says to Silkie. "But I doubt I have any place here. You do, though. Sea told you so." He taps her lightly on the nose. "So you have to stay. You can meet me downstairs later."

Karlos Basoalto: He looks to Kristjan, murmuring "You have a place wherever you choose to make one for you."

Silkie: *Wrinkles her nose.* "Okay."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She leans back, smiling, and sips her drink. Malcolm gets a smile and nod of thanks.

Silkie: *Looks from Karlos then back to Kristjan, again.*

Angelia Caponelli: She looks over Kristjan a moment and offers him a warm smile.

Silkie: Ang> "Who is head and right hand, now that my sharks are gone?"

Ingvar Urgahaldt: Mr. Ivanov. *Pale eyes find the young man as the rumbling voice does.* Do you wish to know if you have a place here?

Angelia Caponelli: "Ingvar is our head and Okami will form one hand, I believe."

 

Kristjan Ivanov: He looks over at Karlos. "Last I recall," he says calmly, "I wasn't welcome around you. And while I'm sure I could manage well enough with everyone else, I've gotten rather tired of trying to figure out just what I did or didn't do to infuriate you at any given moment. So if you're staying, I should go. I think you and I are about as not harmonious as I get. I'd hate to derail this now that you've decided to stay." It's a surprisingly gentle tone, not at all angry. He runs a light hand through Silkie's braids.

Silkie: "Ingvar?" Blinks at him.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: Yes? *He quirks an eyebrow at the girl.*

Silkie: *Looks worriedly up at Kristjan.*

Singha: Malc frowns at what Kris has to say, looking between him and Karlos, as if this rift is something he totally wasn't aware of.

Silkie: Ing> "Um. Oh. Nothing." *blink*

Karlos Basoalto: Tears spring to his eyes and he closes them, bowing his head. Lifting a hand to his face. "All right," he whispers.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He blinks back at the girl. That went a good deal better than he thought it would, then he glances up at Kristjan again. Improper form, but at least he is picking a direction.*

Singha: Now he looks worried at Karlos' tears, highly uncomfortable with him being upset.

Angelia Caponelli: She looks between Karlos and Kristjan as well not entirely sure where it's come from.

 

Singha: There is a bit of a commotion out in the security foyer, and then the door crashes open, something four-footed and golden shooting through the main entry and into the dining hall.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((ah... could I have that link to the Penthouse floorplan again?))

Karlos Basoalto: ((It's at the top of the page, Ing))

Reyna Verinia Reiruno: ((At the top of the page, Ing))

Singha: A few moments later, two guards pull up at the open door, glancing in breathlessly and looking as if they're not sure whether to come in, announce themselves and come in, or keep after what they were chasing.

Silkie: *Jumps to her feet on the couch, spilling cocoa as the door breaks in.*

Kristjan Ivanov: He blinks. That was not on the list of responses he expected. "Or we could try this again. I just don't want to stay if I'm going to make things more difficult."

Angelia Caponelli: Leaps up to her feet and in a blur has a gun in each hand trained towards the dining hall's door.

Karlos Basoalto: His eyes flick open at the crashing sound, and he uses the back of his hand to wipe at them quickly, just in case they're under attack. But he relaxes on seeing Simba.

Reyna Verinia Reiruno: At the sudden crashing of the door and the insertion of the golden quadraped, she grabs her duster, reaching inside as she leaps to her feet.

Kristjan Ivanov: He looks to the streak of gold, the guards, and blinks. This is more confusing by the second.

Singha: "Excuse us, sir," Harry says to Karlos. "Your cub just ran out of the elevator. We tried to stop it but..." He shrugs.

Kristjan Ivanov: (And sorry for the delay, my computer is being touchy today. It doesn't like working.)

Silkie: *Looks relieved. It's just a kitty. She scowls at the security personnel and moves towards the dining hall.*

Singha: There is a sound of chairs being knocked over in the dining hall.

Reyna Verinia Reiruno: Harry, her .45 Colt Anaconda, comes out, and she takes up position by Angelia, looking around. "Expecting someone, anybody?"

Angelia Caponelli: Ang glances to those with her and to the guards at the door, not moving yet from where she's standing. Hearing it's the cub she looks back to Karlos, safty's flick on, guns get lowered.

Karlos Basoalto: He shakes his head a little and rises to his feet. "Sorry, Harry. I'll see if I can calm him down." He starts toward the dining room.

Reyna Verinia Reiruno: Harry goes down as well, and she relaxes a little. "Rambunctious little guy, isn't he?"

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *The young Judge ripples to his feet as soon as the crash sounds through the room, waiting to see what's going on before moving further.*

 

Singha: Silkie doesn't see anything at first, but the few chairs knocked askance give evidence the creature fled under the massive dining table.

Silkie: *Silkie meanwhile follows the cub around towards the dining room, calling to it in it's own tongue.* "Here kitty... are you okay?"

Silkie: *Ducks down to peer under the table.* ~s~ "Hi, what's wrong?"

Singha -> Silkie: ~HA HA HA! They couldn't catch me! Who are you?~

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He opens his mouth, and decides to close it again, tilting an eyebrow and watching as Karlos moves to get a handle on things. No sense interrupting.*

Silkie -> Singha: *Grins* "I'm Silkie. Who are you?"

Singha: The cub leaps out and tackles Silkie, licking her head and then darting away, sliding a bit in the corners as he tries to get purchase on the slick floor.

Angelia Caponelli: She stays back, slides the guns under her sweater and they seem to disapear into her. She looks to the door but stays back, no dense bringing wolf smell near an anxious kitty.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He follows At a more than respectable distance, pausing near the entryway and leaning to get a better look. Closer? No.*

Silkie: *ACK!* Gets toppled and licked, then rolls over and scrambles after the cat to pounce on it.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *And then moves back as it seems the thing is intent on having some fun. Yes- time for the chair.*

Singha: Harry and LEwis look to karlos for instructions as to what to do, preparing to close the door should the beast come rasing back toward them.

Karlos Basoalto: He gestures to Harry and Lew that things are under control, offering a weary smile of thanks.

Singha -> Silkie: ~Marie calls me Simba but I don't know why~

Reyna Verinia Reiruno: She relaxes and puts Harry back in her duter, then frowns as she realizes her drink spilled. She picks the glass up and heads the side bar to make herself another one.

Singha: They nod to Karlos and close the door, leaving the eccentrics to their eccentric fun.

Silkie -> Singha: "That means lion. But what's your REAL name? Don't you have one?"

 

Singha: Malcolm looks to Karlos, as if to ask for directions regarding the cub.

Silkie: *spilled cocoa also stains the living room carpet and table*

Singha: ((al those trying to look at the cub, roll per+alert))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He resumes his seat, looking around the room again, careful of any kitty madness. He looks toward Angelia.* So. Heart, Mind, and you are the Eyes?

Karlos Basoalto: 8,8,5,2,7,2,

Silkie: 9,1,6,4,3,

Karlos Basoalto: He crouches by Silkie and the cub, rowling and chuffing at him.

Karlos Basoalto: ~lion~ "Simba, what are you doing?"

Singha: The cub races around the dining room table, skiddign around the corners adn slamming into the windows and walls before racing back toward the entry hall and launching himself into the sunken living room.

Singha -> Karlos Basoalto: 9(Well, not you, you already know this. *G*))

Silkie: *Scurries out from under the table, grinning at Karlos, and trots back into the living room.*

Angelia Caponelli: She gets up and goes to the kitchen to get some damp cloth to get clean up the mess on the coffee table. "Silkie will be our Eyes. Reyna will be our Voice. I will be our Spine."

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He spins around to shut the patio door with a loud thump.*

Singha: He attacks the back of the mink couch as if it's a waterbuffalo, singing his teeth and claws into it and rowring savagely. He's about a year old, quite thin for a cub.

Reyna Verinia Reiruno: She looks over at Ingvar and Angelia as she mixes in the orange juice, using a spoon so it comes out looking right. "Good...I was gonna say, probably shouldn't be the liver, myself." She nods toward the drink. "'twould be baad..."

Karlos Basoalto: He sighs slightly. The kitten obviously has his exciteable lion pants on today. Slowly, almost casually, he drops to all fours, sprouting dark golden fur.

Singha -> Karlos Basoalto: ~hunting!~

Silkie: *Prowls after the cub.*

Angelia Caponelli: She grins back at Reyna and glances at the lion, "Malcolm, the little guy won't be bothered by us non-cats will he?"

Singha: Rawrs and chuffs and mauls the couch, congratulating himself on his kill.

 

Silkie: *And tackles it with a Silkie-lion roar!*

Karlos Basoalto: He strides out of the dining room and approaches the cub, regarding it with some faint amusement.

Singha: "I don't know. I suppose in the wild, lions eat wolves..." Malcolm says it with a completely straight face, but there's a twinkle of amusement in his eyes.

Kristjan Ivanov: He watches the cub run past him without moving, and stays still. He really can't play with it and he doesn't want to spook it.

Karlos Basoalto: He flicks his ears as Silkie pounces the cub, chuffing at her.

Singha -> Karlos Basoalto: ~There's a snakebird! It's in this big chewtoy~

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Slowly, his eyes pass to Silkie... he seems to chew on something for a moment.*

Karlos Basoalto -> Singha: Karlos Basoalto -> Silkie: ~lion~ "He doesn't need encouragement."

Singha -> Silkie: ~There's a snakebird! It's in this big chewtoy~

Karlos Basoalto: Big amber eyes swivel toward Malcolm, and a surprisingly human voice emanates from the Lion. "He says there's a snakebird in the couch?"

Silkie: *Challenges the cub for possession of the 'kill' attempting to roll him off the couch, flashing a grin at Karlos.*

Angelia Caponelli: She crinkles her nose a little at Malcolm as she cleans up the coca mess.

Silkie: *Feels between the cushions for the said chewy toy.*

Singha -> Karlos Basoalto: ~I've been chasing it all around the big cave with the hard air. And into the moving magic box. And then in here.~

Singha -> Silkie: ~I've been chasing it all around the big cave with the hard air. And into the moving magic box. And then in here.~

Karlos Basoalto: He blinks owlishly at Simba. "He says he's chased it all round the Rave room, then it came up here in the elevator. Can someone look into the Umbra please?"

Singha: He rwars adn tussles with Silkie, swatign her with his baw and clinging fiercely to the couch.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He flicks a glance toward Angelia.* Ms. Caponelli.. if you please..?

Singha: ((And i apologize for the horrible typos, I don't know wtf is wrong with my fingers today))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((freak.*G*))

Angelia Caponelli: She looks ove the lions and nods to Karlos, oblidgingly looking across, "Just a moment Ingvar please."

Singha: 9,8,9,6,

Silkie: Karlos> "Want me to go?"

Karlos Basoalto: ((*stops chewing Singha's fingers* Mmmf?))

Angelia Caponelli: 5,4,5,5,

Silkie: (dlp)

Singha: Malc's gaze goes unfocused, and he stares at the couch.

Karlos Basoalto: He shakes his head at Silkie.

Angelia Caponelli: (Hm what's the gauntlet for me here at the moment?)

Silkie: *Playfully gnaws the cubs ear, unable to dislodge him.*

Singha -> Karlos Basoalto: ~it says it wants my parts back. What does that mean?~

Singha: ((That would be 9, Ang))

Angelia Caponelli: (tries again then, spends a WP this time)

Reyna Verinia Reiruno: She finishes making her drink and walks over stand by Angelia, looking at her.

Angelia Caponelli: 7,8,1,4,

Karlos Basoalto: He blinks at Simba and chuffs at him, tail flicking. ~lion~ "I think it wants your help."

Angelia Caponelli: (face palms) She shakes her head, "I can't Karlos, I'm sorry."

Singha -> ;e: Malcolm frowns and says "It's a large cobra. With flame around the hood.'

Singha: Malcolm frowns and says "It's a large cobra. With flame around the hood."

 

Singha -> Silkie: ~it says it wants my parts back. What does that mean?~

Silkie: "Want me to try?" *Shaking the cub back and forth to loosen his grip.*

Silkie: *Stops shaking the cub and blinks at him.*

Karlos Basoalto: He shakes his head, ruffling his mane thoughtfully. "Firesnake."

Angelia Caponelli: She smiles brightly at Malcolm's news. "Firesnake!"

Singha: "Gnuff!" the cub says, swatting at Silkie. ~lion~ "I almost have it!"

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *His brow furrows as his eyes flick to Malcom, then swivel to the couch.* Spirit?

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((DLP... because that was a stupid thing to say.*L*))

Silkie: *Straddling the cub on the back of the couch she twists around to look at Karlos.* "Why does Firesnake want Simba's parts? What does that mean?"

Singha: (Anyone who was present at the end of the forming of the prior sentai may roll int+occult))

Karlos Basoalto: 2,7,1,1,4,

Karlos Basoalto: ((I knew it, then forgot it.))

Karlos Basoalto: "Simba is part of a whole," he murmurs.

Silkie: *And, the cub nails her while she's not looking, dropping her to the floor with a big paw. She's still looking at Karlos for an answer though.*

Angelia Caponelli: 4,9,8,3,9,2,

Silkie: 5,1,5,4,7,

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He just looks from one to the other, primarily listening to Malcom, as he seems able to translate.*

Kristjan Ivanov: "Mas?" He asks softly. It's almost hopeful, but more guarded.

Silkie: "A whole what?" Glances at the cub. He looks pretty complete to her. Looks back at Karlos.

Karlos Basoalto: ((Sorry, unless I state ~lion~, Karlos is speaking English))

Kristjan Ivanov: (*G* Okay then - he wouldn't catch that just off Silkie's statement. DLP)

Angelia Caponelli: "Oh..." She looks over at the lion and gets up, walking over to him carefully, "Remember all the gifts we have to animate Mas... little Simba here has them it seems."

Karlos Basoalto: He nods slightly at that.

Singha -> Silkie: Silkie realizes tehre's something funny about Simba's fur...it actually feels like real metal, not like fur. The texture of his mane is that of thin copper or silver wire.

Silkie: *Still looking confused.*

Silkie: She gets to her feet and runs her hand curiously along the length of Simba's spine, from head to tail.

Reyna Verinia Reiruno: She stands there, drink in hand, watching and listening quietly.

Singha -> Silkie: it feels like fine gold wires (Roll int)

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He glances at Reyna... supposes he has to talk to it.* This is a bad time to ask what she is talking about, right?

Angelia Caponelli: She reaches over to hold her hand out near the cub, letting him get used to her smell before she moves closed.

Singha: Malcolm keeps staring with unfocused eyes. "It's...um...under the table now. Moving toward Angelia." Simba seems convinced the mink couch still contains his prey, and doesn't follow whatever MAlc is tracking with his eyes.

Silkie: 8,10,10,

Kristjan Ivanov: He waits, just watching. This is probably not the moment to vanish.

Reyna Verinia Reiruno: She shrugs to Ingvar. "Not entirely sure. Waiting to find out."

Silkie: ((Heh, Oh baby! Kisses dice bot!))

Singha -> Silkie: MAS had fur just like this in his Crinos and feline forms. His fur was never normal.

Karlos Basoalto: His tail flicks slowly.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Wait, wait... maybe he didn't have to... he reaches up to scratch at something under his shirt. The pendant.*

Angelia Caponelli: She looks back at Malcolm and tries to follow where he's looking, "Karlos, what do you think?"

Singha: Malcolm seems a bit...intimidated by whatever he's looking at, and reaches up to finger the collar around his neck, as if to reassure himself adn give himself confidence.

 

Silkie: "Mas?" she whispers, stroking him again.

Karlos Basoalto: "I think Stonewall's an idiot. But that probably doesn't help."

Angelia Caponelli: "Not at the moment.... Malcolm. What's he doing?"

Singha: ~A hole!~ Simba says in lion, as if realizing how to catch things thing. ~I should dig a hole and find it.~ He breaks off chewing the couch and drops to the floor, leaping onto the coffee table and scattering everythign from the tray.

Karlos Basoalto: He prowls toward Malcolm, standing protectively beside him, tail slowly flicking more irritably.

Silkie: *Climbs up onto the abandoned, if now shredded couch, and watches Simba curiously.*

Singha: ~oops~ Simba has the decency to look somewhat sorry before launchign himself between Kris' feet, trying to dig up the mink rug

Karlos Basoalto: ~lion~ "Simba, STOP!" he roars suddenly.

Reyna Verinia Reiruno: She takes a couple steps back, blinking as Simba rips the place apart. "Uhhhh...guys?"

Angelia Caponelli: She winces as the lion goes tearing up the place and then Karlos roars. ~ss~ Firesnake? Are you here?

Kristjan Ivanov: Kris stares down at the cub. "Hey." It's not so much that he's telling the cub no as saying hi. "You got it?" He looks over at Malc. He's got no clue what to do with the cub.

 

Kristjan Ivanov: Kris stares down at the cub. "Hey." It's not so much that he's telling the cub no as saying hi. "You got it?" He looks over at Malc. He's got no clue what to do with the cub.

Singha: Simba freezes, daintily backing away from the hole, like a little kid removing his hand from the cookie jar after being caught.

Silkie: *Flinches at Karlos' roar.*

Singha -> Kristjan Ivanov: (roll per+alert, then intel)

Karlos Basoalto: ~lion~ "Enough is enough," he chuffs more calmly. "Stop destroying the place."

Kristjan Ivanov -> Singha: 9,8,2,9,8,

Kristjan Ivanov -> Singha: 9,2,1,

Silkie: *Shoots a sympathetic look at Simba.*

Singha: Simba flicks his ears backwards and fowards, attention now on the same invisible thing Malc's watching.

Angelia Caponelli: "Firesnake is going to want the gifts back that we gave to Mas before the body can reform I think."

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He blinks in suprise at Karlos for a moment- but since it seems the cub is obeying.. he watches closely.*

Reyna Verinia Reiruno: She jumps a little at the roar, and takes a drink.

Karlos Basoalto: "I would imagine Firesnake would prefer them to be given to who they were given to. But I would like to give Simba a gift, if that is the case."

Singha -> Kristjan Ivanov: ((Kris notes that the cub's fur is uniformly golden and looks like fine gold wires, like reall metal. His whisper of a mane looks like it's real silver wires. since you failed the int I can't make the connection for you but if you recall on your own so does Kris))

Kristjan Ivanov -> Singha: (I think my memory is right there with Kris.' We're both on 'huh?' mode. It's cool. If anything else happens that'd let him try again, let me know. 8) )

Angelia Caponelli: "Perhaps... we could ask him since he's here. I don't see any problem with giving Simba a gift though."

Singha -> Kristjan Ivanov: ((Well, it's pretty blatant, and people have already said it IC. Basically all of Mas non homid forms had this odd, metallic gold/silver fur. His fur ~never~ looked normal))

Karlos Basoalto: He falls silent, tail still flicking, protecting Malcolm.

 

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He listens to the conversation, considering.. unless the dream reflected a whole lot more of the literal than he would like to contemplate, he has little to add.*

Silkie: *Slides down to the seat of the couch with a bounce and fetches up what's left of her cocoa, tossing it back.*

Singha: Malc sets a hand on the fur of Karlos' back, taking strength from his presence.

Reyna Verinia Reiruno: She looks from liony Karlos to Angelia, eyebrow raised. "You two wanna clue the rest of us in? Kinda lost here..."

Singha: Simba clicks his teeth together in frustration, watching this thing that the others can't see like a cat watches birds through a window.

Angelia Caponelli: She looks over to Reyna, "When the body formed origionally, Mas was dead. We built a man out of mud and each of us gave him a part, I gave him voice and breath, Karlos have him a heart, and so on. Karlos made this little guy out of mud and he seems to have our gifts as well. Which means he's connected to the Body."

Singha: ((Ingvar roll int+occult if you have it, please))

Reyna Verinia Reiruno: She nods, letting that sink in. "Ah, okay."

Silkie: ((Asks Ing if he has Int? *ducks* ((*G*))

Karlos Basoalto: "I made a cub," he corrects softly, "but no gifts were given to him, because the one performing the ritual believed that the body was insufficient. However, when he raised Mas from the dead, the form he raised him into was human. So Mas became wholly human. The cub became everything else."

Silkie: "We need to glue them together."

Ingvar Urgahaldt: 9,8,

Karlos Basoalto: He gives a faint shrug. "Mas is terrified of becoming whole once more."

Silkie: Karlos> "Why?"

Kristjan Ivanov: "But he thinks it's his dharma. He's terrified, but he thinks he has to. You want me to talk to him?"

Angelia Caponelli: "Kristjan was..." She trails off and nods to what Krist says.

Karlos Basoalto: He chuckles a little, shaking his head. "The human mind is a very complicated thing, Silkie. And easily frightened. Very fragile. And a human mind is all Mas has right now."

Karlos Basoalto: He nods to Kristjan. "Could you ask him if he's willing to come up here?"

Kristjan Ivanov: "Because he's worried about the Rage. He's not sure what it will make him become. And it's not like we can just tell him."

Silkie: *Blinks at Karlos, her knowledge of humans is limited, but she smiles when Kristjan offers to help.*

 

Reyna Verinia Reiruno: She takes a comfortable lean against the wall, listening to the information, sifting it around in her brain.

Kristjan Ivanov: "Sure, I'll go see. You might not want to be a lion then. I'll knock." He nods to Karlos and slips out, careful to be sure the cub doesn't dart out when he opens the door.

Karlos Basoalto: "It will help keep Simba behaving," he murmurs softly. ~Lion~ "Simba, could you come over here, please?"

Singha: The cub is pacing back and forth around the back of one of the couches, staring at teh spot where he was digging, then slowly watching it move over toward the fire.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: Okami stated that in her vision from Selene a half man, half lion creature was seen killing the corrupt bear across 'Narasimha's' lap... *Half murmur, half statement.*

Kristjan Ivanov -> Singha: And off to Mas' apartment. *S*

Singha: Simba trots over to Karlos, making a mewling chuff.

Singha -> Kristjan Ivanov: (What does Kris tell Mas to get him to come with?)

Karlos Basoalto: He purrs reassuringly, leaning in to rub his cheek across that of the young lion's, licking his ear.

Silkie: "Who's Narasimha?"

 

Angelia Caponelli: She looks to Ingvar and back over to Malcolm, "Mal, can you still see Firesnake?"

Karlos Basoalto: "Narasimha is an incarnation of Vishnu," he rumbles quietly. "He is half man, half lion."

Silkie: "Who's Vishnu?"

Singha: ~but I want to hunt~ the cub complains.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((Edit- she called the man- lion Narasimha. Later, the corrupt bear was draped across his lap.))

Karlos Basoalto: ~lion~ "I know, but hunting also requires patience."

Reyna Verinia Reiruno: "He's a Hindu god, hon." Smiling Silkie's way.

Singha: Malcolm nods, looking slightly unconfortable. The way people who are allergic to bees look when one comes buzzing their shoulder. "He's right here. By the fire."

Kristjan Ivanov -> Singha: That he wants him to come so that he and some friends can help explain some of the things about his dharma. Very calmly.

Angelia Caponelli: Frowns, "Mal?"

Karlos Basoalto: He glances to Malcolm. "Narasimha?"

Silkie: Rey> "A good god, right?"

Angelia Caponelli: She moves over towards the fire, peering down, ~ss~ Firesnake?

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Looks toward the fireplace as Malcom speaks.*

Singha -> Kristjan Ivanov: Mas is reluctant, but if this will help make it so he can leave the building, he goes with

Singha -> Angelia Caponelli: ~SS~ "Shadowcaster."

Kristjan Ivanov -> Singha: He says that it will help. Then brings him up to the penthouse and knocks. You want me to do that now, or wait on it?

Angelia Caponelli: She smiles softly, ~Ss~ There you are. Thank you for Honoring us with your Presence Firesnake.

Singha: Simba growls. It's kind of cute. ~but patience won't give me it now!~

Silkie: *Gets up and moves to sit on the arm of Ingvar's chair.*

Karlos Basoalto: ~lion~ "No. But patience will bring greater reward."

Singha -> Kristjan Ivanov: ((you can come back in, quicker this goes, the quicker it goes. *G*))

Reyna Verinia Reiruno: She shrugs to Silkie. "Think so. Not entirely sure."

Kristjan Ivanov: Knock. Knock.

Silkie: *Her eyes dart to the door.* "He's here."

Singha: Simba watches Silkie. ~can I hunt Silkie?~

Silkie: Slides off the edge of the chair, to go get the door.

Kristjan Ivanov -> Singha: (Cool. Since restarting this thing everytime it flips out is starting to get old. And there are people here out of their LARPs now.)

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Pale eyes flick to the side to stare up at the girl for a moment.... a long one. Then flick back to the fireplace.*

Karlos Basoalto: ~lion~ "Not right now, Simba," he rumbles gently. "The man who is coming in is very scared of lions, and you will frighten him if you play. You need to be still. Do you think you can do that for me?" He smiles slightly.

 

Singha -> Angelia Caponelli: ~You have intentions. I wait to see if they bear fruit. All the piece are before you. But you must bring them to the mountain if you wish to join the court~

Silkie: *Glances back at Simba, giving him a "Hey!" in the body speech of cats, before she opens the door.*

Singha: Simba sits down beside Karlos, nestling against him. ~I can play statue. Or bush~

Angelia Caponelli: ~ss~ "Thank you Firesnake."

Silkie: *And she opens the door.*

Karlos Basoalto: He grins momentarily. ~Lion~ "Play statue."

Angelia Caponelli: She looks back got Karlos, "I believe we need to bring Simba with us when we climb the mountain."

Angelia Caponelli: "Or more specificially, Firesnake waits to see if our intentions bear fruit and says that all the peices we need are before us. We must bring them to the mountain if we wish to join the court."

Singha: Simba settles in and freezes. Like a statue.

Kristjan Ivanov: He smiles at Silkie and gently guides Mas inside.

Silkie: *Peers into the hall.*

Karlos Basoalto: Cute lion. Cute, harmless lion. So cute.

Reyna Verinia Reiruno: She looks to Angelia, and nods. "Makes sense to me..."

Karlos Basoalto: 2,4,4,7,9,6,4,

Silkie: *Smiles back.* "Hi Mas."

Karlos Basoalto: And in spite of being a huge killing animal capable of felling a wildebeeste, he looks DAMN cute and harmless.

Silkie: "Hi Kristjan." Closing the door behind them.

Singha: Mas takes one look at the lions near the fire and backpedals with a yelp

Angelia Caponelli: She smiles to Reyna, glad some one gets it."

Kristjan Ivanov: "It's okay Mas. They're good lions. You want me to show you?"

 

Singha: "Uhmm..." He says obviously scared. "My stomach hurts. I need to go away now."

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *His attention swivels between Mas and the lions for a moment.*

Angelia Caponelli: "Mas, it's alright. They won't hurt you.." She says softly.

Silkie: "May I talk to Mas privately a moment? In the kitchen?"

Karlos Basoalto: He remains as still as possible, doing his damndest not to do anything to spook Mas. Well, anything more than being a lion, that is.

Singha: "Uhm...can't I just...go to Thailand?"

Reyna Verinia Reiruno: She grins at Angelia, then settles back, bein inobtrusive and observant at the moment.

Silkie: *Gently slides a hand into Mas' if he'll let her, and tugs him towards the kitchen.*

Angelia Caponelli: She nods to Silkie, "Of course."

Kristjan Ivanov: "Mas, stay. I won't let anything hurt you. It's okay. Look, I'll show you." He walks over to Karlos and the cub, and kneels down. He puts one hand out to Karlos, but doesn't quite touch him. "They're nice lions."

Singha: Simba's statue act lasts only as long as his impulse control. He watches everybody watch Mas, and then turns to Karlos and makes a 'knaowrf?' noise.

Karlos Basoalto: He sure does look like a nice lion.

Singha -> Silkie: ~who is that?~

Singha: "It's okay..." Mas nods to them all. "I think i hear the baby crying. I should get back."

Silkie -> Singha: "It's Mas, he's a part of you, but he's very scared right now. He feels like prey. Please be gentle around him."

Karlos Basoalto: "You know you belong here," he rumbles finally, gazing at Mas. "If you run all your life, you will never know what it is you are running from."

Silkie: "Mas, come with me for a minute, okay?"

Kristjan Ivanov: "Stay. Please? Please stay."

Silkie: "There aren't any lions in the kitchen. Come on."

Angelia Caponelli: She frowns as she looks over all of them, "Now now, lets not pull him in a dozen directions at once."

 

Singha: He blinks at Silkie. "Who are you?"

Silkie: *Taking his hand and hauling him towards the kitchen if she can.*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: Everyone. Stop talking except for Karlos. Silkie is the second option.

Silkie: *Blinks back at him.* "It's me, Silky."

Singha -> Karlos Basoalto: ~who is that?~ (Was what Simba asked karlos)

Karlos Basoalto -> Singha: 8,8,1,8,9,8,3,

Silkie: *Glances at Ingvar, then at Karlos and looks back up at Mas again.*

Singha: He resists Silkie's pull, staying as close to the door as possible.

Karlos Basoalto -> Singha: ~TP to Simba~ "His name is Mas. It means 'gold' in his language. That's the same colour as your fur."

Silkie: She releases his hand.

 

Kristjan Ivanov: He moves to rejoin Mas at the door.

Singha: Simba blinks, tilting his head curiously at Mas.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He tries to get the attention of whoever is closest to the door. If this works, he makes a small gesture for them to close it quietly.*

Reyna Verinia Reiruno: She remains quietly, watching and listening.

Angelia Caponelli: Falls quiet and sits back on the couch. Letting Mas have some room and quiet.

Singha -> Angelia Caponelli: ~Shadowcaster. You know what I demand of my children. This is a test to see who will contribute, and who will simply allow the puzzle to remain unsolved. I do not wish the latter~

Karlos Basoalto: He gazes at Mas once more. "Mas," he murmurs gently. "You feel the pull of your Dharma, even though you are afraid. But we are not your enemies. We came for you, for Ellen, for Elok, when you were held. We expect nothing in return, and you are not a prisoner here. But all I ask of you is that you listen to your heart."

Silkie: *Reaches around to softly close the door.*

Singha -> Karlos Basoalto: ~TP~ "That is Sri Babi Ramakama?" Simba seems unimpressed. Disappointed even. "He smells all scared and like baby poo."

Karlos Basoalto -> Singha: ~TP~ "It is him, all the same. He has done great things, with you. Together you are far, far greater than you are apart."

 

Angelia Caponelli: Her head tilts and she looks off towards the fire curiously and back to the others, ~Would you like them to know that?~ She murmers in that strange theurge tongue as she leans forwards and pouts a cup of green tea.

Singha -> Angelia Caponelli: ~It for you to communicate. if you wish to be Spine, act the part.~

Silkie: *Then she slinks quietly over to Ingvar and resumes her seat on the arm of his chair.*

Singha: "What do you want from me?" Mas asks, sounding strained, his fear bridging into frustration and even anger. "I don't want this. I never wanted this. I am devoted to Ganesha, not Vishnu."

Angelia Caponelli: She rises and brings the cup of tea over towards Mas, approaching on an angle so she's not heading straight for him, nor is she sneaking up on him. She holds out the small cup for him, hoping the familier scent and flavor will be soothing.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *As she approaches, he holds out one hand, palm facing her, though his eyes never leave the Mas/ Karlos situation. Murmuring*stop.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((sorry- 'she' being Silkie))

Silkie: *Freezes. Looks around, then back at Ingvar.*

Singha: Simba half rises in curiousity before Malc gets a hand on him to hold him back.

Karlos Basoalto: "I want you to be happy. I want you to be loved, and to give love in return. It's all I ever want of anyone." He shrugs softly and looks to Silkie, clearly ending his participation in this persuadathon.

 

Reyna Verinia Reiruno: She looks over at Angelia, hearing the familiar language and evidently understanding it. She quirks an eyebrow in the woman's direction.

Silkie: *Looks from Karlos to Mas, and then at Ingvar.*

Kristjan Ivanov: (Sorry. Again.)

Singha: He looks to Karlos. "How can i be happy and loved when the fury of the ages burns in my soul? Narasimha is a destructive incarnation. I am here to build."

Angelia Caponelli: She hodls out the tea to Mas with a friendly smile, "I understand that this is all very diffecult for you and uncomfortable." She tells him softly, "Once I was in a similier place and you reminding me that just because something is uncomfortable doesn't mean it's bad."

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He gets up from the chair, taking something from around his neck- a finely crafted gold pendant as he approaches Mas.* Mas do you remember me? You helped with the fish?

Karlos Basoalto: "I do not know," he says simply. "I rarely have answers. Only directions."

Singha: He looks at Ang, cheeks twitching as he dimly recalls something like that. He takes the tea.

Singha: "What fish?"

Angelia Caponelli: She bows her head to Mas and steps back, maintaing that warm smile but not wanting to crowd him.

Silkie: *Plops into Ingvar's chair when he vacates it.*

Kristjan Ivanov: "Narasimha destroyed something that was devouring innocent people. It wasn't so much destroying something as protecting the rest of the world. It certainly wasn't something that couldn't have been done for love. It was just building somethig on a different scale, Mas, a safer world and not something as easy to point to and touch."

Silkie: *Covers her eyes with one hand and rolls her lips. Ingvar doesn't know.*

Angelia Caponelli: She looks over the others, hoping that at least most of them understand the spirit speak, ~Firesnake says this is a test for us. Karlos could you relay that to Ingvar please?~

Ingvar Urgahaldt: I had to catch and give to good people a large quantity of goldfish. You gave me suggestions on how to go about doing this. *Pale eyes swivel across Mas' face as his voice continues to rumble through the air.. is that a soothing note? ((man+exp to help calm him down? or sub? just in case the pendant idea backfires.))

Reyna Verinia Reiruno: She nods to Angelia, smiling a little. That sounds about right to her. She moves away from the wall, taking a position closer to the group.

Silkie: *Peeks at Ang between her fingers.*

Singha: Mas draws in a deep breath, looking over to Kristjan as he speaks. He doesn't really have an argument against that.

Angelia Caponelli: She looks to Silkie, to see if she understood.

Singha: He shakes his head at Ingvar. "I don't know anything about any goldfish. I never saw you before that day on Ellis Island."

 

Silkie: *Lowers her hand, lips still rolled, and nods to Ang.*

Angelia Caponelli: She nods to Silkie and looks back to Mas, "Mas, you have touched all of our lives in the past. We understand that the memories might be hard for you to reach now. But they are there."

Karlos Basoalto: He blinks owlishly.

Singha: "I remember Kristjan," he says defensively. "And Malcolm being Karlos' slave." He frowns as if that idea makes him feel oogie. Also it appears he doesn't recognize the talking lion as Karlos.

Angelia Caponelli: "Do you remember that talk we had, on Ellish Island a year ago? Where you told me that what is uncomfortable isn't always bad?"

Kristjan Ivanov: "You remember some things about me Mas, but not everything." He says softly.

Silkie: Ing> "That was... a different Mas." Voice not much more than a whisper, lest her toss her out by her hair again.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: 5,4,5,

Karlos Basoalto: Slowly, slowly, he lays down.

Karlos Basoalto: ~Italian~ "Angel, if he is wholly human, he has human memories."

 

Silkie: (..lest he..)

Angelia Caponelli: ~it~ He remembered that memory of befor... he reacted to me telling him.

Singha: He nods to Ang. "I remember saying that. You were afriad of the dark."

Karlos Basoalto: ~It~ "Perhaps so. But he will probably only remember things that do not involve him being anything more than a man."

Silkie: *Ang is afraid of the dark? Blinks at her.*

Angelia Caponelli: "Yes the stairs down to where Metoec was locked up. There was a door there... the whole place made me afraid. But you weren't."

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He shrugs slightly.* perhaps I was thinking of someone else. Here. *He extends the pendant toward the man, stopping within an easy distance.* What do you make of this, Mas?

Singha: He doesn't appear ready to bolt any longer, but is definitely uncomfortable still. He frowns at Silkie. "I don't...remember you. i remember the other Silkie. Little Bit's mother."

Singha: He looks down at the pendant. "The Snakes wear those. Or they used to, before they were killed. Karl had an earring like that."

Karlos Basoalto: Rests his chin on his forepaws.

Reyna Verinia Reiruno: She watches the situation. When she sees an opening for her to use, she'll get involved...for now, she sees how the rest of them handle it. No reason to crowd the man more then he is.

Singha: "I don't know any Metoac."

Singha -> Karlos Basoalto: ~TP from Simba~ "Can't I just chase him around and bite him?"

Silkie: *Blinks at Mas.* "I'm sorry she's gone. I was told she fell... to the forces we battle. To those we so desperately need your help to stand against. So we can make the world better. Even if trying to do that is hard, and you're only a tiny fish with a very big job. You still have to try. Even when you're scared."

Karlos Basoalto -> Singha: ~TP~ "I don't think that would be very nice. He might not like being bitten."

Singha: "But I'm not a fish. I'm a man. With a son, and wife and a family I love. I don't want to be a hero. Or a god. I just want to be left alone."

Karlos Basoalto: He laughs softly, sadly.

Singha: ~TP~ "Well, how are we supposed to go together?"

Silkie: "Because the consequences of failing... may seem far away. Maybe you feel safe from them if you too are far away. But you can't hide behind fear in the end, or the truth that joy will be lost from the world if those who can see, look away from their duties. There will be no world if the little fish don't try, Mas." Her eyes glimmering softly.

Singha: ((scoops up the dropped PM))

 

Karlos Basoalto -> Singha: ~TP~ "I don't know. But I forced him against his will once before, and that's what got us into this mess."

Silkie: "..not for fish, or man, or simba, or wolf. Not for anyone. There will only be chaos remaining."

Reyna Verinia Reiruno: "We all have loved ones, Mas. It's because of them that we do what we do."

Angelia Caponelli: "Mas I believe what Silkie is saying is we don't want you to be a god or a monster. But we need your help to make the world that your wife and child live in just a little bit better."

Kristjan Ivanov: "Ellen knows about all of this. I talked to her before I talked to you. She remembers you like you were before. She doesn't think things are right now either." He says quietly.

Singha -> Karlos Basoalto: ~TP~ "Oh." Flurry of lion thoughts. "Isn't there another one who looks like him, but doesn't smell like baby poo?"

Silkie: "...and a great darkness."

Karlos Basoalto -> Singha: ~TP~ "The One Who Watches?"

Silkie: "Hudson is dying, Sea is in pain. Already it's happening Mas."

Ingvar Urgahaldt: Mas. Take this, and think about what they are saying. *He nods to the pendant.* A gift, yes?

Silkie: "What will be left for your children's children? Have you no love for them as well?"

Silkie: "What will be left for your children's children? Have you no love for them as well?"

Singha: He draws in a deep breath, looking around at all of them. "Ganesha came to me, when Stonewall and I prayed at the temple for the obstacles to be removed from the path the Ghana needed to tread in order to learn the difference between justice and revenge. I did good there, in praying, in being devout. If I become Narasimha, who will do puja for Ganesha?"

Silkie: "I will."

Karlos Basoalto: He glances to Silkie, somewhat dubious. "Ganesha is of Brahma, Silkie."

Singha: "How could i help Kristjan, when he came back from the place where the wolves mistreated him, if i was full of rage myself? How could I do any of the things I do if I am too angry to feel love?"

Silkie: "I will make a family in Ganesha's honor, as you have. And place my eggs in Hudson's heart after she's cleansed, to love and protect her. Will that satisfy?"

Singha -> Karlos Basoalto: ~TP~ "Yes. The one with the chair in his chest that you pulled out."

Silkie: *Blinks at Karlos' confusing statement.*

Angelia Caponelli: She smiles softly, "I've seen your prayers in wood to Ganesha. They're beautiful. Is there a need to trade paths? Can you not still honor Ganesha when you are whole? Many of us have rage and angery, that's not stopped us from finding love."

Silkie: *Ganesh is a bull?*

Karlos Basoalto -> Singha: ~TP~ "He is... not here. He is somewhere we cannot go."

Karlos Basoalto: "Ganesha was a fine general," he murmurs quietly.

Kristjan Ivanov: "But you did Mas, you just don't remember. You did a lot for me when we first met."

Silkie: *Rolls her lips. She can't help address issues of rage. She has none.*

Singha: Simba yawns. ~this is boring. let's bite something.~

Reyna Verinia Reiruno: She remains quiet at this, in the same boat as Silkie.

Silkie: "Many who know rage, have shown me love," she says softly, then glances over her shoulder at Simba.

Singha: Mas looks around, at Ingvar still holding out the pendant, and takes it.

 

Karlos Basoalto -> Singha: ~TP~ "Shall we go play in the big room?"

Karlos Basoalto: "Ganesha is the god of wisdom," he continues softly. "Lord of success. He understands sacrifice. He is humble. And he is selfless." He rises slowly to his feet.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He gestures to it, letting people get on with their convincing.. this isn't exactly the Judge's field. Mas has done nothing wrong requiring direct punishment- so his skills would be more disruptive than helpful. He moves away toward the wet bar and pours himself a drink, thinking.*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He gestures to it, letting people get on with their convincing.. this isn't exactly the Judge's field. Mas has done nothing wrong requiring direct punishment- so his skills would be more disruptive than helpful. He moves away toward the wet bar and pours himself a drink, thinking.*

Singha: "I know Rage," Malcolm says. "And darkness." He rises slowly from the floor, unbuttoning his shirt to reveal the beautiful Rose tattoo with the rampant Lion. "But the Lion is also sacrifice. Compassion. Generosity. It is these things, Mas, that you need to bring to that Rage."

Singha -> Karlos Basoalto: ~TP~ "I want to catch the snake."

Angelia Caponelli: She looks over Malcolm with an approving nod.

Singha: Mas sighs, frowning at Malcolm "I don't want to die. I ~like~ this incarnation."

Reyna Verinia Reiruno: She smiles at Malcolm's words a little.

Angelia Caponelli: (unfortunitly I have to get going to a little bit shortly)

Silkie: *Curls up in the chair Ing occupied earlier to listen and watch. She can't fault Mas for that. She fears death too.*

Angelia Caponelli: "Mas, perhaps you don't have to die this time. Perhaps you just have to accept the rest of who you are, who you can be?" She suggests gently.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: Mas, Rage, when given the proper focus and intent, is a righteous thing. The pendant for instance. Firesnake burns away what is bad, leaving the gold and taking away the detritus. *He turns to face the man.* Rage can make it clear to your foes that your family is not to be touched by their corruption. Without anger, what would drive you to defend them?

 

Singha: He winces at Ingvar's words, adn it's clear that his recent experience with the Dragons haunts him.

Karlos Basoalto -> Singha: ~TP~ "Let me show you something..."

Karlos Basoalto: He pads toward the patio doors.

Singha: Simba trots curiously after the bigger lion, utterly bored wth the whiney, baby poo smelling human.

Reyna Verinia Reiruno: She purses her lips, thinking her way through an argument, choosing her words carefully.

Kristjan Ivanov: He steps closer to Mas protectively, resting a hand on his shoulder.

Singha: ((whoever can give us a few hours tomorrow with Okami that'd be great. noon-4 PST, or if needed I can do a bit earlier from 10 am PST))

Singha: He nods to Ingvar, admitting "I didn't want them to hurt Ellen or Elok."

Reyna Verinia Reiruno: ((I certainly can, either at 10 am or noon. Time today's starting to draw short for me, too, though.))

Silkie: ((Will play it by ear.))

 

Kristjan Ivanov: (I'm gonna be on the way home, but I might be able to get you early.)

Singha: He glances gratefully to Kristjan.

Karlos Basoalto: He lifts a paw, carefully and delicately sliding the door aside. This isn't his conversation to be having. Once it's open enough he nudges it further with his nose and leads Simba out to the patio.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: When a man takes a wife, a part of his sacred duty to that woman is to defend and protect her and her offspring. Death, anger, none of these things count- in the least. They are less than worthy of the attention of a husband. As they exist and live under your care, it is not the job of some nameless hero. The hero is Father. Husband. Do you understand? *Pale eyes track the man with smooth focus as he speaks.*

Angelia Caponelli: (I can do noon tomorrow!)

Singha: Simba romps outside, bounding around happy to be outdoors.

Kristjan Ivanov: He smiles at Mas.

Karlos Basoalto: ((*coughmagescenecough*))

Angelia Caponelli: (and I have to slip out for an hour or so. I have two really grompy kids here.)

Angelia Caponelli: *fades into the background*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((I'm going to have to see, but probably.))

Singha: ((mage scene wasn't on the calendar when I looked last night))

Karlos Basoalto: He draws the door closed once Simba is out, leaving a trail of lion snot on the glass.

Reyna Verinia Reiruno: She steps forward, smiling a little at Mas. "Hi, Mas...I'm Reyna. I can understand where you're coming from. I don't have Rage, either. However, not long ago, I went to a place where I found it, and it scared me...it scared me deeply. I don't ever want that feeling again." She pauses.

Karlos Basoalto: ((First sunday of the month *shrugs*))

Singha: He looks guilty at ingvar's words, but nods to him and then frowns at Reyna, listening to her and looking sympathetic at her story.

Singha: ((But you made a post about not being able to do it for a while and I thought that was why it wasn't on the board. But if so, we'll just sched the mountain scene for next week))

Karlos Basoalto: He entertains Simba by hiding behind various obstacles and letting the cub hunt him.

Reyna Verinia Reiruno: She smiles. "However, I would go there without reservation if I needed to again, because of one reason. Love. I've found that I love a lot of people in this place, this city, that I love. And for them, to help them, I would do anything, even find that feeling. Not for me, or Glory, or anything else. Just for the people I love." She looks at him. "It sounds like you have some people you love, too. Do you feel the same?"

 

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He nods slightly, slowly in answer to Mas.. and choses the route of keeping his mouth shut. He may start crying, and they would have to resort to duct tape to get him up the mountain. He's good with duct tape. Takes a drink and glances at the coyote.*

Singha: Simba his utterly happy to hunt, ambush, attack, stalk, gnaw, and otherwise pester Karlos. Malcolm watches then through the glass, a hint of jealously on his features, but doing his best to keep his mind on the problem at hand.

Singha: ((no sweat, we'll do this next week. My bad))

Singha: Mas nods to Reyna. "Yes."

Reyna Verinia Reiruno: She nods. "That's what we're asking. Is that you risk that feeling, even though it scares you, to make this place better for those you love."

Karlos Basoalto: Pounce. Roll. Gnaw. Pat.

Singha: He sighs, rolling his eyes. "And how am I supposed to be incrnated as Narasimha without dying?"

Reyna Verinia Reiruno: She shrugs. "I don't really know that." Looking for someone else to take over.

Silkie: *Listening, although she appears to have dozed off in the chair.*

Singha: Malcolm looks a bit clueless about that, too, and glances over toward Ang, Ingvar, Silkie and then back to Kris.

Reyna Verinia Reiruno: "I keep hearing that Firesnake is a spirit of transformation. Maybe he can help with that part." Her only offering.

Silkie: *Misses the look, because her eyes are closed, not that she knows anything about reincarnation.*

Singha: Malcolm looks to the fire. Mas looks at the pendant.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: What if you cannot, Mas? Does your desire to see your wife and child safe supercede your desire to live? Because if it does not, I have wasted a great deal of time assisting a family that you would not die for yourself. *He can't help it. He's disgusted. Moving for the door.* Look at that pendant and think outside your own box, Mas. Important things lie outside of there. Be a hero. *He moves past him, out the door. ((Sorry guys but I have to take off.))

Reyna Verinia Reiruno: She falls silent, there for support. ((Same here.))

Singha: ((we can call it here, good job guys. Mas will promise to think on it and go pray about it))

Singha: ((he'll go with Kris to the temple, if Kris will go with him))

Silkie: ((kewl, thanks for the play break everyone. Catch you all later.))

Karlos Basoalto: ((Tata))

Kristjan Ivanov: He squeezes Mas' shoulder and for a second glares at Ingvar, lips twitching. He stops that almost as soon as he starts it, but he's too edgy not to be that protective.

 

Kristjan Ivanov: (Sure. Kris is all about nice places that aren't traumatic.)

Kristjan Ivanov: (Great to catch you all, sorry about the falling offline all the time.)

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *As he passes, he does stare straight into Kris' eyes. He doesn't pause, but gives the man ample opportunity to refute him.*

Singha: ((thank you all for playing, everybody brought some good things to the table.))

Kristjan Ivanov: Kris lets Ingvar go, though he doesn't look away. He doesn't say anything, just nods at the last possible second for Ingvar to catch.

Kristjan Ivanov -> Singha: You mean aAll the insecurity of a thirteen-year-old girl? *chuckles*)

Singha -> Kristjan Ivanov: ((*G* yeah))

Singha: ((So Mas heads out with Kristjan and the rest go their seperate ways00

Singha: ((While Karlos and Simba goof around outside.))

Kristjan Ivanov -> Singha: (Anytime. Seriously it was a great scene, thanks. I may around on ICQ, but the chat is way to much for the laptop at moment. It seems cool with ICQ byt itself. Dunno if you'll be around, but since the people are gone again, I'm onna restart it and just toss up ICQ, at least for a bit.)

Singha -> Kristjan Ivanov: (I may have to head out to a concert tonoght))

Kristjan Ivanov -> Singha: (It's cool. 8) Restarting now.)
