She...she said....said it was my..m-my fault....
*wipes a hand up over her face and smooths back her hair, getting blood in it*

Edward Fletcher said...

*drinks the wine*

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Zafira - may I just point out, that you have just proven that you speak through Loki?
"I was the one speaking not him."
So either a) Your point has just collapsed, or b) You've just made a load of excuses to try and save Loki/Rose.)

Jophiel said...

(Let's make it then. Saturday morning for me. I don't think we're going anywhere...)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Sophia- shut the fuck up. If you read my comment you'd realize I screwed up and meant to sign off as myself. You just proved how ignorant you are.-Zaf

Emerald Melody said...

*Ariana held onto Rose tightly as she pressed her hand to her face.*

my. head. is. in. pain. it. hurts. so. bad.

*She cried again as she felt the hissing pain again, it was unbearable right then as she rubbed her face off Rose's chest.*

Edward Fletcher said...

(Zaf, Sophia, please stop fighting)

A...am I?

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Zafira - "Fuck all of you except Sil and Rose." "Okay you know fuck you too guys."
What did other people do to you, hm?
You clearly lack the skill to differentiate between people. I pity you.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*looks at El*
Minerve....she said m-my family aren't r-resting ipieeace....because of me...

Jophiel said...

(I'm going to stay out of this squabble.)

*She grimaced and sat in the rocking chair, cradling Ariana. She stroked her face gently. It was strange to see others in pain and not herself. She pursed her lips, thinking*

Can you show me...? Or does that hurt more? Is it... Is it like the demon in his head...?

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(That is understandable, Rose.)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

((*huggles* Alright, Rose. I have to go in a few....we'll be back later tonight my time-Zaf

Emerald Melody said...

*Ariana nodded slightly when Rose mentioned the demon. She clung to her, waiting until this wave of pain started to subside.*

too. painful. to. do. a. lot.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Hey Blake)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Sophia- I'm sick and tired of you acting superior. Just freakin stop, stop trying to start arguments. You're becoming a pain in the ass. Just bloody back off of people and get your facts right. I have better things to do then sit and argue with a person's imagination. Okay? Good, stop antagonizig me.

Rose, I'll see you later, Loki sends his cuddles

Because of me...

Jophiel said...

*She got to get feet and walked into Roland's room. She sat beside him and nudged him with her elbow*

Roland, we need your help. Please...

*She hid her face in Ariana's hair, trying not to cry*

(I'll see you then, Zaf!)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(It is clear that you don't believe in character equality, Zafira. If you don't want me to 'antagonise' you, stop giving me reason to. Otherwise I will just keep doing it until you stop.)

Edward Fletcher said...

*kisses*

Edward Fletcher said...

(Sophia and Zaf. Stop fighting, seriously)

(Soph.

Check your email.

Listen to my advice, because I'm pretty damn close to punching you in the face of I ever meet your author.)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Don't worry, Edward, I have stopped.)

Jophiel said...

(*Tugs and Blake's shirt to pull him into a cuddle*)

John said...

(That's an odd thing to hear coming from you, Sophia. As far as people who give others a reason to hate them goes, you top the list. And 'character equality'? You're the one who always acts superior.)

Jophiel said...

(Thank you Sophia)

*Gets Inky another drink*

John said...

(*cuddles Rose* Oi, I like this shirt...)

Emerald Melody said...

*Roland jumped slightly out of his sleep. He sat up and blinked a few times before looking at Rose to Ariana.*

Roland: What is it my love? Are you both okay? What has happened?

Edward Fletcher said...

(Inkys right)

What did I do?

John said...

(I do try my best.

*Strokes her hair a he cuddles her*

I'd still like to see Loki's face if her were here right now.)

John said...

(as*)

Jophiel said...

*hid

--

*She shook her head at Roland and then glanced at Ariana*

Her head hurts... She said that its like it felt when she went into your mind to see the demon... It's my fault... I told her to go closer... And now, I fear she has it in her mind too...

Edward Fletcher said...

What happened? Was it Minerve?

Jophiel said...

(He'd probably want to kill you... I'm giving away his cuddles... He'd probably be forcefully separating us and trying to stab you at the same time...

*She nuzzled his chest and sighed*

I really, really do like your cuddles... You're warm... I forgot how it felt to be cuddled by a warm person...)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Sorry, I disappeared for a moment.)

Emerald Melody said...

*Roland didn't look worried as he rubbed Ariana's head gently.*

Roland: Okay. We have medicinal pain relief in the kitchen for babies, if you want to see if that helps her.

If that doesn't help her, then we can view our next option and see it through.

Do not panic my lovelies. Everything will be okay.

*Roland got out of the bed and started getting dressed.

Ariana still clung tightly to Rose. She couldn't show her what the pain was doing to her, it was too sore.*

We need to sort this.

(Sopia, where is Minerve?)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Minerve? I think I've lost track of her. )

Edward Fletcher said...

No Inky, I can help

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(She can only appear in the presence of death, or in her shrine, however.)

Edward Fletcher said...

(Sophia, do you think she could appear in the bar?)

Inky Flame said...

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(If there was death. However, that includes things like vampires.)

Edward Fletcher said...

I will try not to fight

Jophiel said...

*She took Roland's hand and looked up at him, reading his face, trying to understand why he was so calm. She let go after a few seconds, sighed, and got to her feet. She and Ariana made their way to the kitchen. She set Ariana in her high chair and turned off the eggs. They were burnt. She put them onto a plate and sat them on the counter before searching through the cupboards for the pain relief.

She found it, poured it into the little plastic cup it came with, and pressed it against Ariana's lips*

Drink?

Inky Flame said...

Edward Fletcher said...

*Hugs*

(Sophia, what about this?)

*Body falls through roof of bar*

(Can she appear now?)

John said...

(Eh, like I keep on saying. He couldn't take me down if I let him.

*Rests his head on hers, wrapping his arms around her*

Chi's cold too, you know.)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Yes.)


Minerve: *shadows flow out from the body, solidifying into her form*

Emerald Melody said...

*Ariana looked at the pink stuff in the small cup. She was unsure but it must be alright or else Rose wouldn't be giving it too her.
She drank it and coughed slightly as it tickled her throat.
She smacked her lips at the strawberry flavoured medicine.

Roland came in then when he was dressed.*

Roland: Oh good, you found it. And good girl for taking your medicine.

*Roland pressed the back of his hand lightly against Ariana's forehead.*

Roland: Slight fever but nothing to be worried about.

Garret Falcone said...

(inky there is a email from me for u)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Minerve: *the air grows cold around her* I used my weapon.

Inky Flame said...

Edward Fletcher said...

Fix her

Jophiel said...

(Well, we can give each other warm hugs!

*She shivered when she felt his head on hers*

I feel all warm now... It's nice... All nice and warm and huggy... Ily Blake!)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Minerve: There is nothing to be fixed.

Edward Fletcher said...

You awakened memories for her. Fix her

Jophiel said...

*She looked at Roland, her eyes wide, confused*

Nothing to be worried about? She has a fever and she's still so young! How can you say there's nothin to worry about?

*She rolled her eyes in disgust and turned back to the burnt eggs. She slid them into the bin and, after washing and putting away the medicine, cooked a few more eggs on the burning pan*

Inky Flame said...

John said...

(*Smiles and nods*

Love you too, as a friend of course.)

*Perks up*

Train? As in battle training?

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Minerve: I am not the goddess of the mind.

Jophiel said...

(I would, El, but it's 6am and I don't have my laptop... Sorry...)

Edward Fletcher said...

Inky, we can sort this

Edward Fletcher said...

Fine *turns to Inky* I can wipe the memories if you want

Jophiel said...

(Of course as a friend! Chi would have my head, and then Loki would have hers, and then there would be an epic showdown between you and Loki's army, maybe even himself. It would be quite a thing to watch.

*She cuddled him tighter and glanced up at him*

You have nice eyes. I just thought I should tell you that.)

*smiles* Ok

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Minerve: The primitive mind is a fragile thing. One touch can make it crack.

Garret Falcone said...

(quote: In darkness all men are equal save those that embrace it)

John said...

(Yeah, I feel like it'd be to quick to be considered "epic" though. At least if Loki came anywhere near Chi...

*Smirks*

And my eyes? What about them..?

I am not really a hug person *hugs*

Jophiel said...

(You do have to sleep sometime, Blakey, he could always do it then...

*She nuzzled her head into his chest again, sighing happily*

You're eyes are pretty. Very pretty eyes are hard to come across. It means that you have a good soul, Blakey... Eyes are windows to the soul... You have a beautiful soul...)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(I dont know what I hate more right now my phone or gmail. if this one doesnt pos I swear to god Amma CRT.)

(“Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it.”)

Emerald Melody said...

*Roland sighed as he came up behind Rose and rubbed her shoulders gently.*

Roland: Sweetheart, if it was the demon, she would have been extremely sick by now.

But the fact that she has just a slight fever and a headache, it could be just a cold from the water. She is a child, she is only building her immune system so she is more susceptible to things like small colds.

*Roland went over to Ariana and looked in her eyes, ears and throat. There didn't seem to be anything worrying at all to him except that she looked tired.*

("If you have to look along the shaft of an arrow from the wrong end, if a man has you entirely at his mercy, then hope like hell that man is an evil man. Because the evil like power, power over people, and they want to see you in fear. They want you to know you're going to die. So they'll talk. They'll gloat.

They'll watch you squirm. They'll put off the moment of murder like another man will put off a good cigar.

So hope like hell your captor is an evil man. A good man will kill you with hardly a word.”


One of my favourite quotes)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Minerve: *returns to her realm*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(THANK YOU! El, Soph, you still here?)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Yes, I am.)

John said...

(You're one of the few people who thinks that, thank you...)

Edward Fletcher said...

I didn't say stop hugging

(Thank you war. A good quote Inky)

Jophiel said...

That doesn't mean I don't have to be worried, Roland. I'm a mum now, technically. I have to worry over her. And you, you don't have to if you don't want to. You get to kick back on the sofa with a beer and the paper. That's what so many of my friend's fathers' do. You can do that too.

*She flipped the eggs and started humming quietly to herself. It was something upbeat, she had forgotten the name of it long ago, as she did the names and faces of her friends*

Roland... Are... Are you sure she's going to be okay...?

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(I cant reply to your emails at the moment because gmail is a little bitch.
Did Min go home?)

(Thank you, Blakey. I like being one in a few.

*She smiled at him*

You're hugging a goddess... Did you know that...? I'm hugging an angel and you're hugging a goddess...)

Edward Fletcher said...

*dances*

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Minerve has returned to her realm, yes.)

John said...

(*He laughs*

I'm one of the few people who can say that's not odd.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Damn it! Okay then. How are you soph?)

*Roland sat beside Ariana, kissing her hands and blowing raspberries on her fingers.*

Roland: Rose, we are equal parents. This is not the 1950's were woman are expecting to do the most heavy lifting. If you need a rest, I will do what needs to be done.

*He looked Ariana over again. She looked alright, not like someone who would be infected with that demon.*

Roland: From what I can see right now sweetheart, I can say that she will be okay. We've just to keep an eye on her.

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(I sincerely doubt that day will ever come, Silente.)


Minerve: *shadows leak out of Silente, spilling on to the floor, before solidifying into her form*

I am never grumpy *looks offended*

Were you telling the truth?

Edward Fletcher said...

*smiles more*

Jophiel said...

The 1950s was a good time to be alive... Heaps of fun, that was. Heaps of fun and lots of dancing.

*She slid to eggs onto the egg flip and placed the on one plate. She put the remaining one, along with the cold toast, on the other. She put on some more toast and started to make Ariana a fruit bowl*

I don't want her to be okay... I want her to be perfect...

And I am serious Rose, do not ever feel like you have to place the household responsibilities on your shoulders alone. We are in this together and I am here to be your equal.

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(It is a little odd for someone to consider me their blogsister. Very odd.)

Minerve: They are uneasy. But all they feel towards you is positive.

Edward Fletcher said...

No, just you

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(It's also true.)

Why are they uneasy though?

John said...

(Yeah... it is.

*Closes his eyes and lets himself slip away, content to be hugged forever*)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Minerve: They are dead. The dead tend to be uneasy about being dead. Especially under the circumstances of their death.

Jophiel said...

I'm one of those people who suffer in silence... I tend not to let others help me... It's easier that way. They can't stab you in the back and make you carry everything again whil you're wounded...

*Her eyes became distant as memories crept into her mind. She shook her head and flinched when the toaster popped. She pulled them out and placed them on Roland's plate. She brought it, and the fruit salad, over for Ariana, placing them both in front of the designated person. She took a spoon out and sat beside Ariana, feeding her*

I like Blakey cuddles...)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*nods slowly*
Will they ever be at rest?

Jophiel said...

(If I poof, I've probably fallen asleep... To which, I'm sorry...)

Emerald Melody said...

*Roland took Rose's hand and squeezed it gently.*

Roland: I would never, never leave you to handle things wounded. I will always be true and just true to you. You mean so much and too much for me to lose you or your trust.

*Ariana smiles and makes a small excited noise as she sees the fruit. She is more than contented to let Rose feed her this morning.*

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Minerve: Doubtful.

Edward Fletcher said...

*Pulls her close*
