One Hell of a Welcome Home
March 23, 2000

Justine O'Ryan: ~Jus takes off her jacket and other garments, down to her sports bra and boxer shorts then climbs into her..bed, -it's NOT a coffin no matter what Finnuala says- behind her Angel. She breathes in the scent of the being she loves more than life and smiles happily. She slipps one arm under her, and the other over her to hold her in her sleep. the dreams come less when both of them are there, she knows. she rests her head on Ang's ahoulder and closes her eyes, as she shuts the lid. She is alsleep before her hand ettleds back into place.~

Justin Quinn (Beatific): ~they are in justin's Study as not to disturb the sleeping fin~

Daisy Mae Everson: *doesn't hear a reply so goes to check the his study, knocking softly*

Justin Quinn (Beatific): ~the door is not answered~

Daisy Mae Everson: *wonders if she should really interupt them, Listens at the door to see if anyone is in there*

Daisy Mae Everson: (dlp) *grins at Simon as she is right infront of the door*

Dana Mackintosh: *rubs her hands over her face*

Daisy Mae Everson: Simon> Everything alright?

Simon Everson: *He close the door softly, a hurt look in his eyes*

Justin Quinn (Beatific): ~for those who know it, a Massive magical surge hits the study~

Simon Everson: "He took it.. Well"

Dana Mackintosh: *blinks as something makes her spine feel all tingly*

Justin Quinn (Beatific): "AAAAAAAAAAaaRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh~!!!!!!!!!!!!!~ of pure anguish~

Daisy Mae Everson: *jumps when Justin yells and Jasmine starts to cry*

Dana Mackintosh: *lands beside Daisy from her flying/darting version of a run, and looks towards the door worriedly*

Simon Everson: "I toldf you, you Just were not assimulating the information. Do you know who AElfe was?

Justin Quinn (Beatific): ~no other sound~

* * * NOTE: Well as it turns out the middle of the archive is not available... I blame myself for not thinking to start archiving sooner... *smack hand* ... bad butterfly... *chuckle*...

* * * What is missing... in brief... Justin's study is in shambles. Justin backhanded Simon and "threw down a gauntlet" and challenged Simon. Simon accepted. Most of us are confused as to what is happening and /or why it is happening. Conversation happens... * * * (Those that where there, if you have more to add in this spot just send it to me and I'll add it.)

Dana Mackintosh: (blows wp to speak) Then you can hear why I am upset.

Paul Stephens: -bless you Jon-

Daisy Mae Everson: *her eyes get misty, knowing this challange is going to happen... takes Jasmine to her room with her brothers... she does not need to be witness to this chaos at such a young age*

Justin Quinn (Beatific): ~he casually and willfully, begins to stiffle Dana~ "This is how it felt, when he killed her. ~tiltes his head the other way~ Not Instantly, but sloowly.. This is how it was, when Mr Dear Brother, Killed the Woman , liying in my Bed, in pain, who had saved my life and many others killed her. This is how my Brother killed the Woman i loved for almost 1000 years..

Simon Everson: *glances at Jon again*

Paul Stephens: -swallows-

Jonathon Spader: *applies pressure to his shoulder, not a great amount, just trying to get his attention*

Paul Stephens: =-make a "Silence " motion to them.-

Dana Mackintosh: *things are starting to swim, "Funny, I thought you really loved my Dame..."*

Justin Quinn (Beatific): Twitches and Snaps Dana's Neck, discarding her like so much usless trash

Justin Quinn (Beatific): ~dlp, back up some for those at Work, back to squeezing the life out of Dana~

Jonathon Spader: ((Ok, then we continue)) Sir, she is not part of your challenge.

Daisy Mae Everson: *comes back after leaving Jasmine in Consuela care*

Dana Mackintosh: *her lungs spasm for air even as her vision begins to blur, the blood and air stopped from moving through her body*

Jonathon Spader: Sir!

Dana Mackintosh: *never once does she take her eyes off Justin's*

Daisy Mae Everson: Father Quinn, Stop... *as she moves toward him and Dana*

Paul Stephens: -paul doesn't offer words, those are usless , knows Justin is totally a 400 year old Lasombra who could careless right now about anything -

Simon Everson: *Timestop*

Justin Quinn (Beatific): ~his hand twitchs, right at the time stop~

Daisy Mae Everson: *stops beside Justin* Justin..

Simon Everson: *Takes a deep Breath for a moment and then Releases all but Justin from the time Stop*

Dana Mackintosh: *stopped, then continuing into unconciousness*

Daisy Mae Everson: *blinks*

Paul Stephens: -extracates Dana from the Grasp-

Dana Mackintosh: *takes a deep breath and crumples into Paul*

Jonathon Spader: *Jon obviously mised the first effect, but continues* Sir, this is not right.

Paul Stephens: -grumbles- Are you all Insane? Don't you all realse the _more_ you talk, the more He's likely to actually Kill. -rubs Dana face till she wakes- Every argument of Love you use against him, just makes him relieve ONE love..

Dana Mackintosh: *drifts in and out of awakeness for a few moments, then her eyes fly open and focus on Justin, she tries to scramble back and discovers her body isn't listening to her yet. She continues to gasp, suck in huge quantities of air*

Dana Mackintosh: *she opens her mouth to scream at Justin, make him stop looking like that, but only a hoarse, choked whimper emerges*

Simon Everson: *Sits on the floor and sighs*

Daisy Mae Everson: *she can hosestly say -No- she didn't know that about Father Quinn, she' never seen him like that. and Daisy learn some new*

Jonathon Spader: *puzzles only slightly the fact the FJQ is stuck. Jon moves around to place himself in the place where Dana was*

Dana Mackintosh: *turns her eyes from what she was foolish enough to think she could face a few minutes ago*

Daisy Mae Everson: *turns to Simon* Simon? *goes to him*

Jonathon Spader: *Jon places himself to take the brunt when FJQ gets unstuck*

Paul Stephens: ~holds Dana and looks at them all.~ I don't have any idea, but Thinka bout all your personl Pains, that you have all known.. Then confunded them for Centruies. It's his Curse is to Remember that all.. So before you all go insane or Think you Can't handle it, just take a look at A person trying to hold 1000 years togther and gain a little back bone.

Justin Quinn (Beatific): ~hasn't moved, thankfully oblivious to the passage of time,for ever~

Jonathon Spader: *reaches out to place his hand in FJQ's, warrior to warrior, follower to leader. Man to Father*

Daisy Mae Everson: *looks at Paul* And killing each other is going to help?

Dana Mackintosh: *just hides her face in Paul and decides to tackle that when she doesn't feel for the second time this week that air has left her body permanently*

Simon Everson: *leans against DAisy* I told you I was going to tell him.. ..But i guess you never really saw the Importance of that? *grins , then looks at Jon* get away from there..

Paul Stephens: -exasperatedly- Daisy, when you have a concept of NOT being human, then you have a reference point..

Simon Everson: *opens his mouth to say something to Paul and nods slowly to a Thought in his mind*

Jonathon Spader: *Steps away as directed by the Paladin, but still leaves himself in place to intercept FJQ*

Dana Mackintosh: *fights to come back to herself, to be more than a very scared kid*

Daisy Mae Everson: *looks at Paul* I am human... so I suppose I'll never know.

Dana Mackintosh: *eventually turns to look at them all, a thick dar band of bruise forming around her throat, she swallows painfully past the internal swelling and looks back at FJQ*

Simon Everson: "..The Reason, you see this man, Justin Quinn.. Is because of the love of a Woman in the Hundreads of Years ago. A Woman, named Aefle Mox. A Woman I killed for Dishonoring Jon's Sword, and Keeping Justin in the pass, and for Manipulating this Family and many things -looks at Daisy- As I've stated Before, the only Person I've ever Murdered.. I told you three times.. *his face is grim* the end Justified the Means.

Daisy Mae Everson: I'm just a human. call me weak if you will... I do not claim to be strong... I'm just me... -nothing- more... -nothing- less.

Jonathon Spader: *He stands, absorbing this information, not having really known FJQ's past, but getting fragments here and there. Hethinks he might be able to undestand slightly*

Simon Everson: "That Revelation Thru Justin back in the past.. He is no longer Justin Quinn, He is Renee Moxe, Lasombra, Child of Jamarilo. It that makes men into Beasts..

Paul Stephens: -Listens, mostly having to piece things toghter, but talks with Fin have helped-

Daisy Mae Everson: *blinks at Simon... she remembers him telling her about a murder but not who... stunned speechless*

Dana Mackintosh: *is less surprised then she would have been, due to what she knows from Finn*

Dana Mackintosh: *she closes her eyes*

Simon Everson: "I did my Job as a Paladin, I protect this family from a Foe no one else was willing to stop, that had swayed everyone and hand her hand in all.. I ended JAmarilo and Her, *frowns*

Paul Stephens: -Sighs- Meaning, the more you tell him to Not, the more you envoke "Love" and Cherished goals, and All of that, the more he fights it, the more violent he becomes, the more.. IT -more of a Question, cause he's guessing here-

Jonathon Spader: So, what you are sayinf is that he's not Father Justin Quinn in his mind right now. He is reliving his past.

Simon Everson: *Takes a few deep breaths* He wants Vengence, and he's not going to be free till he get's it.. This is about pain and release.. This is about being strong when it counts.. And knowing, that somethimes, *he stares at Dana* your just plain wrong.

Daisy Mae Everson: Simon... I didn't know... I mean...*she stays close to him*

Dana Mackintosh: *doesn't even try and speak*

Justin Quinn (Beatific): ~finger's twitch slighltY~

Dana Mackintosh: *eventually becomes able to hold herself up, and does so, standing straight. She does not yet extract herself from Paul, she doesn't trust herself to really move yet*

Simon Everson: *reestablish's time stop*

Paul Stephens: -wouldn't let Dana go if she tired-"Well Jon, your the Man in charge.. HIS Gifts come with a price, Justin's is finally coming to light.. Now what..

Daisy Mae Everson: *looks at Simon* You're the focus of his vengence...

Simon Everson: *Smiles* it's be nice to have his Sire, but i'm a bit too effienct for my own good.

Simon Everson: *last was in answer to Daisy*

Dana Mackintosh: *wonders if there isn't anybody else they can frame, discovers she's more tired than she thought she was, and leans a little against Paul again*

Daisy Mae Everson: *just looks at Simon, stares at him really*

Jonathon Spader: Well, it's clear he's not seeing us as allies curently. And I don't know of any restraints that will hold him. He appeas to be a danger to himself and us currently. Simon, I assume you're keeping him still? Don't push yourself. I'd like everyone to clear out. I honestly don't know the best way to help him. I'll entertain comments or suggestions.

Simon Everson: *Grins* Anyone got a Plan beyond my own..

Dana Mackintosh: *frees her hands up from Paul* ~asl~ Keep Finn away from him. *it'd just hurt too much to talk*

Jonathon Spader: *turns dead serious eyes to Simon* Yeah...... I go get her back.

Dana Mackintosh: *leans against Paul a little more*

Simon Everson: "Ahh,m but see, that's the Paradox of it Jon we are allies.. It's Called Quiet. *as Simon is ACTAULLY mage Trained, unlike the many orphans with power around* "..Think about this, your appealing to the man, and the Lasombra inside.. Guilting him into something, as most were trying to do a moment a go, is challanging his will, he will continue his will to prove it superior.. Fighting him,? He will contine his action,..Basicaly, and Direct confrontation will be met by resistance..Except me.. He Cannot kill me, Justin is Not as Strong as I am.. There for, We need to work out the agression until it's greif again

Paul Stephens: ~wonders what the hell Dana is saying~

Paul Stephens: ~leans in and kisses Dana cheeks Soflty~ shh.. you've done enough today.

Dana Mackintosh: *winces at Paul's words, and the kiss, the gentleness almost breaks her resolve not to be scared again*

Dana Mackintosh: *sighs a little that no one else here signs, this is going to get interesting*

Paul Stephens: "I say we release him and every one just STAY out of his way.. No Guilt Trips and Then let the Challage proceed..If Sir Simon is sure Justin cannot Defeat him.

Daisy Mae Everson: *blinks at Simon... she's never thought of him killing anything.... she never actually seen him kill anything* (that's just mind blowing)

Jonathon Spader: *shakes his head* So the only best idea we have is let him beat on you till he gets tired of it? That doesn't sit well with me. I can't condone you sacrificing yourself like that. But I have no authority over you Simon. But I don't like it. Does anyone else have any open avenue?

Simon Everson: *holds DAisy close. Just words now, without proff, the impact will lessen*

Dana Mackintosh - Paul Stephens: *gets scared again, so she kicks her mind into that, people can understand her now if they want to just a little bit* ~asl~ We get Finn away from the house, away from the challenge, her AND her son!

Paul Stephens: -thinks they could let him beat on Dana, but only Paul's allowed to do that.-

Dana Mackintosh: *her fingers fly with a fluidity and grace she wishes moved into the rest of her actions. Although she is right handed, she signs with her left hand dominant*

Dana Mackintosh: *thinks Paul reminds her very sharply of someone else she used to know*

Simon Everson: "Finnuala could talk him down in a heart beat.. The heart of True Affection.. He has to be come to realise it's better she's gone. I cannot kill Unless i have the devine Right -stops- It's complicatd, but I cannot, there for, I am myself vindicatd in my actions.

Paul Stephens: -"Um Simon, tha's ..about 1000 years of Anger. It's not exactly going to be Gentle.. He's going to try and destroy you ..Utterly

Dana Mackintosh: *worried, and it's worse cause somebody's holding her, but holding up. She does, however, avoid looking at Justin.*

Dana Mackintosh: (actual asl translation: Forgive, not mine, Alex dead, Finn not strong same as always. *S* The rest of you get what she would be saying in words, due to the mind effect)

Simon Everson: "Claudius.. In a heart Beat..Claudius and this is over.

Justin Quinn (Beatific): ~he physically squeeze his hand and start to pull t back~

Paul Stephens: -manages to shift so Dana cannot see the movement-

Simon Everson: [damn, never roll this well in combat] *Time stop* he's learning..

Paul Stephens: -agrees, as that only also occured to player- Claudius.

Daisy Mae Everson: *is close to Simon not looking at anyone, just listening*

Dana Mackintosh: *slolwy starts to shake, just a little at Simon's words*

Simon Everson: *squeze daisy;s hands*& or Dana, Sabrina and I go into his mind for a little "Surgery" and start we writing what we don't like..

Dana Mackintosh: *doesn't even bother signing, merely project the image of Tyne-instead-of-Dana. Has no desire for Justin to ever find out she presumed to do anything of the sort*

Jonathon Spader: *turns to Simon* I really don't like that option.

Dana Mackintosh: *nods with Jon, shakes a bit more now, makes an effort to stop it*

Simon Everson: *Nods* there are your options, Me, Claudius, or someone stronger than Justin himself ..Another Beatific? And Angel...something!

Paul Stephens: -holds on to dana tightly. He reaches over to the packs, looking over for first Aide ckits-0

Paul Stephens: -listens-

Simon Everson: *blinks visibly at Jon* How do we propose to convince him to fight you, not anyone else? and for that matter, survive him?

Dana Mackintosh: *shakes a little harder now* ~asl~ I will help in his mind, ~only~ if that is the last straw. Is there someone in the Templars we can trust with this?

Dana Mackintosh: ~asl~ and if many of us fight him, as good as it sounds in theory, at least one of us will die.

Dana Mackintosh: (as always, mind 2 active so all can understand her)

Jonathon Spader: I can.. *nope, he really can't, or at least not without really going against the grain of his being* Well, I have a guardian.

Simon Everson: "I never wished for a vampire pit more..Just to let him loose in *actually chuckles*

Dana Mackintosh: *knows an egghead he could fight*

Daisy Mae Everson: Would it not be wiser to let him go for wat he wants? *she can not believe she just said that* If that is what Justin needs to...come back to him self.

Dana Mackintosh: *wants to be nowhere near Jason when he comes back to himself*

Jonathon Spader: *looks to Simon* Actually sir, I don't outrank you. And in order to get him to come at me, I wouldn't outrank Dana afterwards. But I'll do it, if we can't come up with a better way. So far it either comes down to you ar me doing it.

Simon Everson: "let's see, he's pissed off, angry want's to nuke the plant an everthing on it..Me, I can stop him.. Few other's can.

Daisy Mae Everson: *has not looked away from Simon, as she listened to everyone*

Dana Mackintosh: *watches, quiet and still pretty scared. Her breathing is more shallow and laboured than it should be, but not enough to cause worry for her health.*

Jonathon Spader: *looks about, at these peopl who are his family* We'll get this straightened out soon everyone. We've all been here in one way or another, and none of us hasn't been there for anyone else. We won't let Father Quinn go through this alone. Dana, please accept my apologies for him. Let me know if I can do anything to help. Daisy, both your husband and I want to minimize the hurt to everyone else. On this we both have always agreed. I won't let him get hurt as much as I can.

Dana Mackintosh: ((uh oh...*L* I don't want to be around anymore when that happens. *S*)) *wonders how she's gonna tell Finn about this. Decides that she starts by leaving out the choking scenes*

Simon Everson: ((seee, no one i think but finnuala was there for the Rory -after - alter scene..else they'd know.. /A)never guilt Justin, he will carry out his action to spite you..B) do not touch Justin..He will not be balked c) do not "reason" with Justin from a Moral stand point, He doesn't want to be here anymore, martyr are like that..basicly..a simple..Don't and walk away does it a whole lot better]

Daisy Mae Everson: *glances at Paul, then Jonathon and back to Simon* Is this really the only way?

Dana Mackintosh: *her fingers fly with a fluidity and grace she wishes moved into the rest of her actions. Although she is right handed, she signs with her left hand dominant*

Dana Mackintosh: *thinks Paul reminds her very sharply of someone else she used to know*

Paul Stephens: -"Um Simon, tha's ..about 1000 years of Anger. It's not exactly going to be Gentle.. He's going to try and destroy you ..Utterly

Daisy Mae Everson: *flinches at Paul's words*

Simon Everson: *Shrugs* i can be Killed with a butter knife, a rattle snake bite, choaking on food. FJQ is _not_ going to kill me..I'm positive

Dana Mackintosh: *gently, with less emphasis and more sorrow that transfers into her words* ~asl~ Forgive me, for it is not my place to say. But Alex is passed away, and Finn is not at her best right now.

Dana Mackintosh: *worried, and it's worse cause somebody's holding her, but holding up. She does, however, avoid looking at Justin.*

Dana Mackintosh: (actual asl translation: Forgive, not mine, Alex dead, Finn not strong same as always. *S* The rest of you get what she would be saying in words, due to the mind effect)

Simon Everson: "Claudius.. In a heart Beat..Claudius and this is over.

Justin Quinn (Beatific): ~he physically squeeze his hand and start to pull t back~

Paul Stephens: -manages to shift so Dana cannot see the movement-

Dana Mackintosh: (Thank you! *G*)
