The Day After the Cleansing of the Node
March 27, 2000

Justine O'Ryan: ~the bold. the beautiful. the..we..sopping wet as she comes out of the shower in her rooms downstairs.~

Jason St Augustine: *Stands in front of an open bay window. Breathing. Blinking. His heart beating. Holding his son in one arm and a Dove bar in the other*

Justine O'Ryan: ~the water is FREEZING and she loves it! she gets dressed in sloppy sweats and heads upstairs.~

Justine O'Ryan: ~as she enters the kitchen she sees a sight that warms her newly beating heart. She looks upon Patrick with eyes that do not ever have to fear holding him and losing herself to her frenzy and hurting him..or anyone. Her reaction to this is somewhat unexpected, much as the hormones in her stream are, but it's not much diffeserent than being a Toreador. She starts sobbing.~

Jason St. Augustine: *Whispering to Patrick* ~portugese~ Look...it's the sun. My son...my beautiful little son.

Jason St. Augustine: *Looks over at Jus* C'mere. Watch the sun rising. It kicks ass. *pauses and then blinks*

Justine O'Ryan: ~in between the heart-wrenching sovbbs she manages ~ Kicks..the..Ass...~anf gives herself over to the tears she so rearly ever allows, and almost never in another's presence.~

Justine O'Ryan: ~she grabbs a kleenex and wipes her eyes and goes to dispose of it, and looks at it not covered in blood and sobbs again.~

Jason St. Augustine: *Cocks his head* Jus? Raid the freezer....I bought these Dove bars earlier...I can see why everyone hear likes thm.

Justine O'Ryan: ~she holds up a hand in "Stop" motion for Jason.~ I..I ..I just..n..need a few..~still dealing with the fact that thinking of blood..does not make her feel..urgent.~

Liz St Augustine: * walks in yawning her metal facilities of thought haven't kicked in as she scratches her belly and goes and pours herself a cup of coffee*

Justine O'Ryan: ~she mutters ooh so quietly. Not thinking that it's been so much longer for her fellow ex-Kindred~ fifteen years. fifteen years of night..

Jason St. Augustine: *Nods* Okay. This is...exquisite. *Munches Dove bar, offering a little piece to Patrick*

Justine O'Ryan: ~she's not a Toreador, but she's hormonal, and still a tart. She sees Liz and starts sobbing patheticly anew, walking over to her like a 5 year old bawling and throwing her arms around her for a sec~ Liiiiiz...~sobs~

Liz St Augustine: * blinks a few times and yawns some more and adds some sugar and cream and curses she left her flask in the room and sips her coffee*

Jason St. Augustine: *Turns and beams at Liz* Good morning, oh delight of my eyes...*pauses and remembers to breathe*

Liz St Augustine: * looks at Just and arches a brow wondering what's wrong with her* Justine..you okay?

Justine O'Ryan: ~will later be much embarrased for her lack of self control and letting her emotions run away with her and be glad that these two were all who witnessed it.~

Justine O'Ryan: ~in between sobs~..I..~sobs~..Am..~sobs~..So..~sobbs, shudders, sucks in air~ happy! ~wails.~

Jason St. Augustine: *Nods vigorously for Jus* 

Liz St Augustine: * looks at Jason and then back at Justine* good morning Love...* her brain is slowly putting two and two together and as she lifts the cup to her lips it dawns on her Jason in sunlight eating ..Justine crying but no blood tears and her eyes are huge and she just faints with a thud hitting the ground*

Jason St. Augustine: *Looks at Patrick who's getting better at feeding himself the dovebar* Your mama's a little out of it.

Justine O'Ryan: ~looks. well, confused as Liz faints. She wipes her eyes and looks at Jason and sniffles~ well..It cannot be that exciting to be hugged by me...I mean..~sobs~ really..

Jason St. Augustine: *Smiles* It is when your tears are transparent, Jus. Here, hold Patrick for a second? *Hands the boy over with the implicit trust and knowledge that Jus will do no wrong to the boy. *He kneels down and waves the dove bar under Liz's nose and moves the coffeecup aside*

Justine O'Ryan: ~she takes Patrick, holding him at arm's length then realizing..she doesn't have to..and holds him closer. This starts a new wash of sobbs~ Patriiiiiick...

Liz St Augustine: * waves her hands at something and slowly opens her eyes* who did i faint or did you end up on the ceiling?

Jason St. Augustine: You fainted, dear. 

Liz St Augustine: * rubs her forehead* oh my I did? * slowly gets up and leans against a counter* 

Jason St. Augustine: *Nods, permagrin firmly attached* Yes, you did love. *Picks her up and sets her on the counter, giving a slight grunt of-exertion?*

Liz St Augustine: * thinks did I drink something funky from my flask last night...yeah it's the booze playing with me*

Justine O'Ryan: ~starts to calm down a little. with any luck and barring new family memebers coming in she'll be allright soon.~

Liz St Augustine: * looks at Jason* umm dearest umm can you grin with your teeth showing? i really need to see something

Liz St Augustine: * sounds really uneasy* 

Jason St. Augustine: *Smiles showing off the pearly whites, saliva, and little bits of dovebar still in his teeth*

Finnuala Rosher: *Comes from her room in a long silk black robe with peacock green highlights* What a night...

Justine O'Ryan: ~still sobbing but much better and the kleenex has mopped up most of her tears~ 

Liz St Augustine: * looks like she gonna faint again turning even paler then any vamp could and holds her forhead* ohhhhhh..how did this happen?

Justine O'Ryan: ~sees Finnuala and starts to sob again, slightly more~ 

Finnuala Rosher: Oh. *Steps back into the other room to let Justine gather herself* 

Liz St Augustine: * the one thought keep s going thru her head...ohh god were gonna have 12 kids jason will get his sex drive back and ohh god* she looks at her belly and thinks she'll never see her feet again for the next many years*

Jason St. Augustine: *Looks up in mute answer* 

Finnuala Rosher: *Looks back in* Justine? 

Justine O'Ryan: ~she hands Partick to Jason and walks after Finnuala, holding her arms open like a five year old, sobing~ Finnualaaaaaa..~sobbs~

Jason St. Augustine: ((*Composes himself*)) *Reaches into the fridge and tosses Finn a Dove Bar* 

Finnuala Rosher: *Rather confused, but willing to handle it and pretend to be knowledgeable for now, hugs Justine* Jus, tell me what's wrong.

Justine O'Ryan: ~she sobbs into Finnuala's shoulder and chokes out the same explination she gave poor Liz~ I'm ~sobs~ so..~weeps~ happy..~wails~

Jason St. Augustine: *Looks at Justine* Liz...is she gonna do this a lot? 

Finnuala Rosher: *Pats Justine's back with a stupid confused smile* I..I'm sure you won't be this happy the first time you start your period and get cramps or have to go to the toilet every few hours like everyone else? *Ventures helpfully*

Liz St Augustine: * sits there and takes deep breaths * Finn..there mortal * nods to Jason* ummm I think so..wait till she has sex...( hugs Daisy i wasn't there either)

Justine O'Ryan: ~absolutely wails into Finnauala's shoulder. it'd be comical if it wasn't so seriuos to her.~

Jason St. Augustine: *Looks over at Finnuala* Toilet? 

Daisy Mae Everson: *walks in looking tire and upset* 

Justine O'Ryan: ~she recalls toilet. White pocelin thingy she extracts her Dove bars into~ 

Finnuala Rosher: *Holds Justine and looks desperate* Oh no, what did I say? 

Liz St Augustine: * hears Jason and slaps her forehead* oh my I have two children now..umm should i buy two potty seats now?

Justine O'Ryan: ~is crying on Finnuala and she's not getting messy. Also, the kitchen isn't shuttered dark as usual~

Finnuala Rosher: *Looks at Jus and Jason* You two have been able to eat all right and keep it down? 

Daisy Mae Everson: *looks at the scene and is just... that much more upset with herself* 

Liz St Augustine: * giggles to herself and thinks of slipping a laxative in jason's coffee and giggles outloud at the thought*

Jason St. Augustine: *Looks at the 6 dovebar wrappers already in the trash* Yeup. 

Justine O'Ryan: ~sobbs into Finnuala~ I have cramps, but don't care! ~the fact that she just made this revlation in front of about 5 people she doesn't allow to see her underware is going to come back mightily on her.~

Daisy Mae Everson: *she hasn't yet approached or said anything* 

Finnuala Rosher: ((Finn knew as of last night because of TF)) 

Jason St. Augustine: Liz...this is odd. I thought...women cared about cramps? 

Finnuala Rosher: Justine> I'll give you Midol! *Trying VERY hard to offer comfort in any form.* 

Daisy Mae Everson: *gives Justine and Jason a curious look* 

Liz St Augustine: * looks over at Justine thinking Liz better stock up on the midal* 

Finnuala Rosher: Liz, how has he been? *Points with her chin to Jason* 

Jason St. Augustine: *Looks at Daisy like, 'I have no clue what ehr damage is. Then he remembers to blink*

Justine O'Ryan: ~finally composes herself, pulling back from poor Finnuala, and wiping vigorously with the kleenex~ I'm fine..I am fine. ~sees Daisy, starts to sniff, then sob. walks pover to hug her, wailing~ Daaaaaisy!!!!! ~oh dear God.~

Liz St Augustine: Jason...well give her a day or so ..right now she's just so happy to be able to feel anything..even if it's cramps*gets a look and wonders how anyone could be happy at that*

Daisy Mae Everson: Hello everyone. Did...did everyone return safe and sound? *she says softly* 

Finnuala Rosher: *Blink, blink--Japanimation shock look* 

Jason St. Augustine: *Smiles at Daisy* Yeup. You want breakfast? 

Liz St Augustine: Finn....well since he will be getting his emotions back here soon we'll see * thinks of taking him to a rollar coaster park or seeing a damn sappy movie and grins thinking of all the ways to bring his emotions out and thinks ooo this is going to be so fun*

Finnuala Rosher: Daisy> Hi. Sorry if I woke you. 

Daisy Mae Everson: Justine? Your...your...your...tears.. *blinks hugs her back* 

Finnuala Rosher: Liz> Wow. Uh, maybe we should get some Sam-e at the drug store? 

Justine O'Ryan: ~she sobbs on Daisy for a few seconds~ I love..~sobs~ you people. 

Daisy Mae Everson: Finnuala, No you didn't wake me. Jsaon just a cup of tea will be fine. 

Finnuala Rosher: We all love you too Justine, and always have. *Ventures helpfully* 

Liz St Augustine: * puts her evil thoughts asides and walks over and hugs Jason and kisses him* 

Justine O'Ryan: ~she weeps vigorously onto Daisy at that~ I know!! ~sobbs~ that's why I love you all! 

Jason St. Augustine: Daisy>>You sure? I mean...I can cook and stuff, and really...*noshes dovebar* Ish no twubble.

Daisy Mae Everson: We all love you too Justine. 

Jason St. Augustine: ((Kisses a man who hasn't had an involuntary erection in two centuries? I'd say the evil thoughts are well at the forefront)) *Stops and kisses Liz for a really long time*

Justine O'Ryan: ~she disentangles herself from Daisy, a bit more composed now. Somewhat. Now she looks confusedly embarrsed. she blows her nose~ I'm sorry, all. I'm. Tartlike.

Finnuala Rosher: Justine> You've always made caring about you easy to do by your friendship for all of us, even Simon.

Daisy Mae Everson: *blinks at Jason -eating-* Jason? 

Jason St. Augustine: *Makes waving motions like, 'I'm waaaay busy'* 

Daisy Mae Everson: *feeling all the more depressed..she wasn't there for er family* 

Finnuala Rosher: "Tartlike"...*Chuckles* 

Daisy Mae Everson: *feeling all the more depressed..she wasn't there for er family* 

Finnuala Rosher: "Tartlike"...*Chuckles* 

Justine O'Ryan: ~that almost stars a fresh hail of sobbs but she nodds at Finnuala~ I mean..who could not love me..I mean..really. I think I have to go use that charming porcelin orafafe you aforementioned. ~she heads for the bathroom to wash her face. Yes, she still knows how to use one.~

Finnuala Rosher: Who wants to brave my cooking? *Says the renowned dreadful "Anti-Justin" as far as cooking goes*

Liz St Augustine: * slides her hands to Jason cute little touche and gooses him as she kisses him* 

Jason St. Augustine: *Finally breaks the kiss and is gasping* Whoa...that was..new. 

Finnuala Rosher: Whew..*Watching Justine walk to the bathroom* Poor girl. 

Liz St Augustine: * gets an evil look grining* oh I have such sights to show you * giggles* 

Jason St. Augustine: ((Not the touche! Anything but that!)) *And feels, hormones....* 

Jason St. Augustine: Finn...uhm...you leanred to cook? 

Finnuala Rosher: Jason> No. *Starts getting out cereal and bowls* 

Liz St Augustine: * starts to nibble on Jason's neck enjoying this torure she's giving him* 

Finnuala Rosher: *Drops a box of cereal at hearing Liz and gives a weak smile* 

Daisy Mae Everson: *realizes Jason and Justine are mortal... and is very ahppy for them... but she does not smile*

Justine O'Ryan: ~a series of Gealic eplictives can be heard coming from the bathroom. A few minutes later, she walks out, rubbing a spot on her forhead with annoyance~

Jason St. Augustine: *Bites his lip...he's still not sure if Finn's progressed to the necessary skill to make cold cereal...and then there is that intoxicating scent coming from Liz*

Finnuala Rosher: Daisy> Coco crispies? Amaranth flakes, or Total? 

Jason St. Augustine: Daisy? 

Justine O'Ryan: ~looks at Finnuala at the mention of odd cereal~ Amaranth flakes? is that a marathon cereal?

Daisy Mae Everson: Nothing, thank you Finnuala.. *doesn't even want the tea now. 

Daisy Mae Everson: *looks at Jason and answerts absently* Yes? 

Justine O'Ryan: ~she pauses from her rubbing of that..thing..on her forhead to looks at Daisy~ are you allright? ~wow she composed in a hurry~

Finnuala Rosher: Justine> No, it's like cereal made from the Amaranth grain from South America. It comes plain or with blue corn. // DAISY> What's up Daisy? Are you okay?

Liz St Augustine: * stops nibbling and walks over to get another cup of coffee* 

Daisy Mae Everson: I'm fine. *lying her bum off* 

Liz St Augustine: * arches a brow at Daisy* 

Justine O'Ryan: ~she instictively tries to see daisy's colors, but that doesn't work anymore. So she relys on her intuition onto the human mind, which tells her Daisy is not well. She sits down near Daisy.~ You do not, have to eat, the blue cereal..

Finnuala Rosher: Come on Daisy. I know fine and you're not it. 

Jason St. Augustine: Daisy...stop with the fib. 

Finnuala Rosher: *Looks at the cereal to see why Jus would find it so offensive. Rather likes it herself.* 

Daisy Mae Everson: *looks at everyone looking at her then looks down so as not to meet their eyes, biting her her lower lip*

Finnuala Rosher: *Dumping some of the cereal into a clear bowl. It's not really blue, but almost a lavender grey- Mauve to be precise*

Daisy Mae Everson: *she insists* I'm fine... *almost a flat tone* 

Liz St Augustine: does it turn your tounge and teeth blue? 

Simon Everson: *walks infrom the outside. He looks..like someone hit him with a sledge hammer repeatedly*

Justine O'Ryan: ~she actually seems to find the cereal interesting to look it, with it's color. This also hasn't changed. She looks then at daisy's lack of..well, Daisy-ness and ventures~ I'm sorry I got your shirt wet?

Daisy Mae Everson: *she should be laughing but isn't* 

Finnuala Rosher: Daisy> No, you're not and people will harrass you till we know what this is about and can make you feel better because we're the flaming Brady Bunch of killer mystics.

Renee Moxe: ~walks in behind simon, His hand the sledge hammer~ "Sorry Simon" 

Finnuala Rosher: Liz> No, it doesn't. 

Jason St. Augustine: Daisy....*That patient tone that priests always use when you're fibbing and they know it* You were with us.

Daisy Mae Everson: *looks up at Simon and tears rolls down her cheek... without looking at justine* It's all right Justine, no harm done.

Simon Everson: *holds his nose in the air, walking to the fridge trying to stop the bleeding* Ghost, vampires, mages..Killer creature form the Dark Umbra.. I get boffed to death in non-lethal combat ..by a french cook.

Finnuala Rosher: Simon. *Deeply touched smile for the one who might make Daisy better.* 

Justine O'Ryan: ~sees how upset Daisy is and wonders why. She would almost cry with her but she's done that this morning. She feels better.~

Finnuala Rosher: *Grabs out the ice for Simon* 

Renee Moxe: ~still behind simon~ you ducked simon, you never duck.. 

Jason St. Augustine: *Looks up* Boss. Thas timing right there. Kudos. 

Justine O'Ryan: ~she looks at Simon and gets unsurprisingly confused~ 

Liz St Augustine: Daisy...I know how your feeling hun if it helps...* looks at her coffee a bit and doesn't say anything else seeing Simon walk in knowing they'll want to talk*

Simon Everson: *Still hasn't seen Daisy, but knows that voice, can almost picture her biting her lips and looks down, that just makes him woozy*

Daisy Mae Everson: *her strenth sapped from her for the time being, she wants to go to Simon but her legs are not cooperating*

Finnuala Rosher: *Sets down the ice and looks at Renee* Good morning. I thought I might not see you again so soon. It's been a bad week. *Reaches for an embrace*

Jason St. Augustine: *Simon...ducked?* 

Jonathon Spader: *Jon comes down the stairs, cracking joints on his way. He's beat. That was a lot of metal to be wearing around last night*

Renee Moxe: *Glances about, also just a tad slow and then embraces Finnuala* hello Love, Missed me?

Jason St. Augustine: *Reaches his hand around and absently gooses Liz* 

Justine O'Ryan: ~she looks at Renee and tilts her head to the side~ Hi. 

Finnuala Rosher: Renee> Is there any doubt about it? Here, have some grey amaranth flakes. 

Liz St Augustine: * smiles at Jason as she's goosed* 

Simon Everson: *Takes the ICE from Finn and sorta Staggers over to Daisy* Hi Daisy.. * looks at the Tear on her face* Why' ya crying * it comes out in a short TExan drawl that makes him scrunch his face*

Daisy Mae Everson: *she is biting her lip and looking down, Simon knows her sooo well* 

Jason St. Augustine: *makes a naughty face at finn when her back is turned* 

Renee Moxe: *makes a nasty face at the name and waves to the others* Great name for flakes..why don't i get a Lasombra to show them to.

Daisy Mae Everson: *looks up at Simon and just can not speak* 

Jason St. Augustine: *Finishes off the dovebar and thinks another one might be a good thing* 

Renee Moxe: ~when Jon comes in, he smiles at him~ hello Jon.., 

Jonathon Spader: *he makes his way through the house towards all the voices, he shambles a litle as his joints pop back into their normal allotment of space*

Jason St. Augustine: *coughs* 

Finnuala Rosher: Renee> I don't think Lasombra are as easy to find as they used to be around here. 

Simon Everson: *reaches out and whipes the Tears away* There, no more Tears, and I'm not even Jonson and Johnson'\"

Finnuala Rosher: Spader> Jonathon. You're okay. Good. 

Jason St. Augustine: *Oooh. Pritty ceiling tiles* 

Liz St Augustine: * hears that and starts to think about things looking a little spaced out* 

Renee Moxe: "This i note ~glancing about the kitchen~ Food? 

Daisy Mae Everson: *she does not smile* I'm sorry, Simon. 

Jonathon Spader: *he looks about and takes in who is currently up, then turns to Renee* Morning all. Morning Sir.

Justine O'Ryan: ~she smiles brightly at Jon glad that she got herself composed before the men save Jason, came in~

Finnuala Rosher: *Gives Renee a serious and long look* 

Renee Moxe: ~Grins at Jon~ I feel.. 30 something.. Do you know what it's like to feel 30 something? 

Simon Everson: *steps closer whispers* How about we take the children some where later. Just us..? Hmm? Then I can show you how sorry I am..

Jason St. Augustine: *Wonders if he should dare to let the Frog chef anywhere near the cooking utensils. After all, Simon di just get jacked up...but then, Simon also ducked*

Renee Moxe: ~stares right back at Finnuala~ What? ~scrunching his face. Smells under his arms~ 

Finnuala Rosher: Renee> Speech pattern. *Continues to evaluate him at arms' length, not so much worried, as curious.*

Liz St Augustine: * sips her coffee and grows very quiet and buries herself in her thoughts* 

Daisy Mae Everson: *nods to Simon, but still has not smiled* 

Justine O'Ryan: ~she blinks at that. His speech..is different! He is not, talking in prose anymore! she now watches with concern~

Renee Moxe: ~Blinks, having just noticed that~ Oh Crap, your right .~ blinks again, then Starts to laughs~ oh man , i don't know weather to be worried or to be happy.

Simon Everson: *leans in and kisses DAISY on the lips lightly, then her cheeks, one then the other* 

Daisy Mae Everson: *glances at Renee* 

Jason St. Augustine: *Kisses Liz on the cheek* Do we want to go swimming later on? 

Renee Moxe: ~if one listens softly, they may here a missouri accent~ 

Finnuala Rosher: Renee> Neither do I, but you could speak like a French Canadian longshoreman and I'd feel the same about you. A lot of things were remade last night, so why not you?

Daisy Mae Everson: (dlp) *blinks at Simon and more tears fall* 

Liz St Augustine: * nods absently only half listening to Jason* umm sure 

Daisy Mae Everson: *and she bites her lower lip again* 

Jason St. Augustine: Hun? Something wrong? 

Renee Moxe: "..Long sure man ~his eyes seem to glow, the purple color still there. A strang thought comes to mind and he grins at Finnuala like a colledge senior looking at a Frosh woman~

Jonathon Spader: *Jon expected this, the change, at least part of it. So he goes about his morning. He'll have to get to know him again. But is he still his commader? Jon goes for the fridge, and the pitcher of water he keeps there*

Liz St Augustine: * snaps out of her thoughts and looks at Jason* umm something wrong..umm no why do you ask?

Justine O'Ryan: ~she waves at Jon~ hi! 

Simon Everson: *falls to a knee and holds DAisy's hands* You are my sunshine, my only sunshine..you make me haaaappppyyyy when skies are greeeaayyy..you'll never know..how muc i love you..so please.. don't take .. My sun shine..Away.

Finnuala Rosher: Renee> *Gives an odd, maybe a little paraniod, but not unhappy look* What? 

Renee Moxe: ~clamps a hand over one ear, simon sings like a bull horn~ 

Jason St. Augustine: *Yup, Simon's on drugs* Well, you just got kinda quiet there. 

Daisy Mae Everson: Simon... come let me..help..you get cleaneded up. *she speaks softly* 

Finnuala Rosher: *Finds Simon's disharmony to be less than evil, more than harmless* 

Daisy Mae Everson: (dlp) *Looks surprised at Simon, but can't help but smiles at him. 

Liz St Augustine: * nods a little asbsenlty and looks down at her coffee* oh I guess I did....didn't realize it

Simon Everson: *Stays on his knees* i would Daisy-mae, but i cann't stand. The French cook has a mean right hook

Jason St. Augustine: What's on your mind? 

Jonathon Spader: *returns Justine's wave a little tiredly* Morning Justine. 

Renee Moxe: ~leans down and whispers something to Finnuala~ 

Justine O'Ryan: ~she smiles a bit. She thinks Simon's act is rather cute.~ 

Renee Moxe: ~[goes along]~"He Ducked..As God is my witness, Simon attempted to move out of the way of a blow."

Liz St Augustine: * shruggs her shoulders and shakes her head* it's nothing Jason..umm I need a refill* heads to the coffee pot and refills the cup cursing leaving her flask in the room*

Jonathon Spader: *his ankle snaps a good one as he reaches into the fridge, and he pulls out the pitcher*

Daisy Mae Everson: *glances at Renee* No more beating up on my husband, Justin. --- *leans down a bit to help Simon Stand*

Justine O'Ryan: ~she nodds at Spader~ How is Tyne? She got to bed really late. 

Renee Moxe: ~winces~ Jon, dear lord you sound like you are those little packing things, the kind people pop..

Jason St. Augustine: Okay. 

Finnuala Rosher: ((Public post *Sigh* The curse goes on)) *Soft smile to Renee* I know. 

Justine O'Ryan: ~why IS he popping so?~ 

Simon Everson: *nods furiously* you tell him Daisy. I know a Texan woman with a Shot Gun. 

Jonathon Spader: *looks to Justine* She should be fine, I made sure of that before I tucked her in. 

Renee Moxe: ~rolls his eyes and throws up his hands~ He Ducked, not my Fault, in nearly 6 or so years, Simon's never Ducked, you'd think he'd.. ~pauses and makes a face and just leaves that one alone~

Jonathon Spader: *joints popping, he was wearing 50 lbs of armor. *S* 

Justine O'Ryan: ~she looks at Jon in concern~ what of yourself? You are making odd noises. 

Liz St Augustine: * pours a cup of coffee and adds cream and sugar and looks down at the cup stiring it a little too long*

Daisy Mae Everson: *softly to all* I'm glad everyone has returned safely. 

Renee Moxe: ~turn to Liz~ how are you this morning Lizbeth? 

Jonathon Spader: *looks around and just waves it off* Just my joints resettling after taking my armor off.

Finnuala Rosher: Renee> Everyone ducks sooner or later. Call it his getting some sense finally. 

Liz St Augustine: * answers absenlty looking at the cup* oh I fine and you? 

Simon Everson: *&snorts; at Finnuala's comment and stands, holding on to the island before reaching out to DAISY* I returned becuse i had someone waiting for me.

Daisy Mae Everson: *looks at Renee* Perhap he wished to keep his head, he does have a family to take care of...

Daisy Mae Everson: *looks at Simon* I should have been there too. 

Renee Moxe: "Feeling 35 or 36..Christ i forgot my Birthday. alway kept thinking it was 953 AD or something." ~winks at Liz~

Jonathon Spader: *goes to pour himself a BIG glass of water. He looks to be a little dehydrated* 

Justine O'Ryan: ~she nodds at Jon and gets up~ why do you not sit down. I will get you, some coffee? ~she looks at Daisy and smiles a bit~

Jason St. Augustine: *Vaguely disconcerted by Liz's change in mood...he shifts Patrick to his left arm, wincing and looking at his right arm as if it had somehow betrayed him*

Justine O'Ryan: ~she looks at Daisy..aha. THERE it is. she adds, softly~ no one expected you to, dear. you had the children.

Simon Everson: *stares into her face and say* yes. You should have.. *holds her hand* but you were not.. and that is no one's fault, and if you have a need to be there, just becuse we are there, that that's the wrong reason. But I know you.. I know you were there for Family and love and honor.. Your physcial presence.. That's wasn't needed.. And No regreats.

Liz St Augustine: * looks back at Renee and smiles a little and then to Jason* how about we lay Patrick down for a nap?

Finnuala Rosher: *Thinks of Jason, Justine, and Justin making adjustments and smiles sympathetically* 

Jonathon Spader: *he just shakes his head to Justine with a friendly smile* No thanks. I either need to stand, or lie down and sleep it off. And as for coffe, no thanks. That stuff puts me right to sleep. *s*

Daisy Mae Everson: Justine the children were being taken care of. 

Renee Moxe: ~sits on a stool and looks about~ ok,..Who's going to tell me what happened? 

Finnuala Rosher: *Prods a grey-lavender flake of cereal* 

Jason St. Augustine: *Nods* Yeah...poor little guy...barely touched the dove bar. Y'know, those things are neat, I mean-how do they get the ice cream to stay solid when they put the chocolate on?

Renee Moxe: ~waves to Jason and Liz, CAring much for them and their distress, but he's also just been Freed from a cycle curese and blanked by a spirt..he's a little euphorice for his own good~

Daisy Mae Everson: *blinks at Simon... his words aonly make her cry again* I... I... let... 

Justine O'Ryan: ~she nodds at Disy and says no more for now. She knows how it feels when you belive being absent makes you to have somehow been lesser to your family. She knows though, that Daisy means so much to all of them and will find a way to show this.~ Simon is right.

Finnuala Rosher: Renee> We cleansed a node. That's like a Caern as far as I can tell, but what happened at the moment...*Shakes her head, taken away abd back to the moment*

Simon Everson: "Let us down? Forgot us? I'll have you know i was home , In this house when everything happened near the end. *holds up Daisy's head* We are Knight Templars.. There will be MORE things for us to do, and us to Seek, it only Begins now...

Jonathon Spader: *Jon drinks rapidly, though not in gulps, and refill his glass* 

Liz St Augustine: * offers Jason a smile not wanting to be the bringing of doom to his happy time will leave it for another time.to talk about.wanting to see him happy is all that matters to her right now* Jason..okay you can lay him down...and you know you will get a stomachache eating all those dove bars if your not careful* makes a mental note to stcok up on the pepto bismal*

Renee Moxe: [[SHHH Jason, ]]"..Cleansed a Node..Finnuala, your Storytelling skills.. Suck. ~slipping an arm around her waiste~

Renee Moxe: ~glances at Jon, makes mental note to get more filters~ 

Daisy Mae Everson: *looks a into Simon's eyes* You're not going to let me beat myself up for this are you?

Finnuala Rosher: Renee> Oh, sorry. I had a flashback. It was something that has never happened before. We touched something great within and beyond. I wish I had the words for it.
