YarnKittymon: : ::Fox has declared an informal
"Indigo family reunion" at a small and rather inexpensive
café a few blocks away from Libby's shop, where people
won't glare at them for being too loud; Greta, of course, is rather
mortified to be
there, and still
giving the cold shoulder to her husband, though she doesn't dare
stay home, for fear of what he might do to her::
Purple Freak373:
FX: ::sitting next
to Greta and Alex:: Ha, its so great to have Maeve here! We very
much missed you Maeve!
Purple Freak373:
AX: ::gives a timid
smile:: Yes it sure is.
YarnKittymon: GT: ::silently sips her lemonade,
not looking at any of them::
Purple Freak373:
FX: ::half grins::
So whats is on your minds today?
Maeve Owens: MV: ::smiles back:: We should plan
a night of fun. I've missed the good old days.
Purple Freak373:
AX: Hmmm I say
we walk the beach at night and play Marco Polo in the pitch black!
Purple Freak373:
FX: Alex we can't
do that, we are too far from the ocean!
Purple Freak373:
AX: Oh yeah forgot
that you don't fly! heh.
YarnKittymon: GT: ::primly:: Selfish thoughts
aren't uncommon from you, Alex.
Maeve Owens: MV: ::shrugs:: He was just a little
too anxious to get back at me for pushing him into the water the
last time we played. ::grins::
Purple Freak373:
AX: hmmmm....and
what do you mean by that?
Purple Freak373:
FX: ::takes a bite
out of a baked potato::
YarnKittymon: GT: It wouldn't hurt to think of
others more often, like your stepmother. ::takes a bite out of
her sandwich, looking rather annoyed::
Purple Freak373:
AX: I don't have
a stepmother to think about. ::stuff his mouth full of salad::
Purple Freak373:
FX: Now now, thats
not nice...
Maeve Owens: MV: ::sighs:: And here we go again.
::shakes her head::
YarnKittymon: GT: ::looks at Alex coldly, and
then pushes her seat back, standing up:: If I'm not an Indigo
then I clearly don't belong here. Good day. ::turns to go::
Purple Freak373:
AX: Hey Maeve you
wanna walk the streets tonight and pretend we are vampires?
Purple Freak373:
FX: Awww Greta
come now, you know Alex is poorly manner, we are working on it,
don't leave darling?
Maeve Owens: MV: Um, perhaps. Whats your plan
of action? How will we go about doing this?
YarnKittymon: GT: ::glares at Fox:: If you want
me to stay why don't you just trap me in another nightmare?
Purple Freak373:
AX: ::stares a
Greta a moment and turns back to Maeve:: Well we can go after
cats and hiss at them!
Purple Freak373:
FX: Why sure, but
you gotta sit down first..::gives a big grin::
YarnKittymon: GT: ::looks like she's about to
strike Fox with her handbag, but she turns away and stalks off
without another word, nearly hitting Jack's sister Nicole in the
face with the door; her mother, Louise, who is with her, shies
away, looking a touch frightened::
Maeve Owens: MV: ::nods:: Chase some cats? What
if we hid around corners and scare people?
Purple Freak373:
FX: ::goes after
Greta::
Purple Freak373:
AX: Puurrrrfect
idea Maeve!
Maeve Owens: MV: Thank you, I thought it was
quite brilliant.
Purple Freak373:
FX: Hey Arent you
from Libby's wedding?
YarnKittymon: LR: ::Jack's mother looks at the
ground, too shy and scared to speak to Fox::
Purple Freak373:
AX: ::looks up
at Nicole and other ppl entering:: Hullo!
Maeve Owens: NR: ::Nicole lunges backwards away
from the door and just about stumbles. She looks up to see Mr.
Indigo and she smiles warmly at him:: Yes, I'm Jack's sister Nicole.
Its nice to see you again.
Maeve Owens: MV: ::she turns around and waves::
Purple Freak373:
FX: Yes, I'll be
right back my wife is mad at me at the moment...::runs after greta::
Maeve Owens: NR: ::waves back to Maeve and Alex::
Purple Freak373:
AX: Sit down and
order some food, father will pay. ::winks::
Maeve Owens: NR: ::shakes her head, turning
to her mother:: Are you alright? That woman doesn't seem to be
in the best of spirits.
Purple Freak373:
FX: Greta! Please
mind youself and lets talk!
Maeve Owens: MV: ::tries not to laugh; quietly::
Why dont you tell the whole place he'll pay for their check? Serves
him right for marrying... ::hesitates to say anything because
Libby is her friend::
YarnKittymon: LR: ::cringes as Fox runs past,
and then peers through the doorway doubtfully, not sure whether
it's worthwhile to go in; after a long pause, still sounding frightened::
I suppose we should get to know Libby's family and friends.
YarnKittymon: GT: ::looks back at Fox, an expression
nearing hatred mingled with terror on her face:: What do you want
to do to me now?
Maeve Owens: NR: It'll be fine mother. Maeve
and Alex are nice at least and I'll be right here beside you.
Purple Freak373:
FX: ::He looks
at her face:: Look, I'm sorry, what I did was wrong, but you were
wrong too...
YarnKittymon: LR: ::walks into the café,
following her daughter, and looking like she's walking on eggshells
all the while; nods to the two young people, who she met briefly
at the reception::
Purple Freak373:
AX: They have nice
salads and soups here! ::Digs into his beef stew::
YarnKittymon: GT: She's made a terrible mistake,
Fox, and you know it!
Purple Freak373:
FX: Greta theres
somthing you never learn, and I don't think you will ever learn!
You know what that is darling? do you want to know what that is?
Maeve Owens: MV: ::gives her a friendly smile::
Hello Mrs. Richards, I'm glad you could join us. Are you enjoying
your stay on the island?
YarnKittymon: LR: ::weakly sits down at an empty
place at the table:: I'm so happy to see how well Jack's done
for himself.
YarnKittymon: GT: ::looks at Fox coldly:: That
I've made a mistake too?
Purple Freak373:
FX: You have to
let people make mistakes to learn from them, somtimes they learn
and become happy and somtimes they end up like you old and bitter..
Maeve Owens: MV: ::nods:: Yes, Libby couldn't
have found a better guy.
YarnKittymon: GT: ::reaches out and tries to
slap Fox::
Maeve Owens: NR: ::sits down at the table, looking
over at Alex:: How long are you staying here?
Purple Freak373:
AX: ::nodding as
he eats::
Purple Freak373:
FX: Oh Darling,
see what I mean, you call my son ill manner, but look at you!
::take her hand::
YarnKittymon: GT: You trapped me in a world where
I was a *ghost* for *hours*, you called me old, and yet you say
I'm the one with poor manners? I would've been better off dead
than marrying you.
YarnKittymon: LR: ::orders the beef stew like
Alex is having, looking around the table and barely smiling, very
nervously::
Purple Freak373:
FX: No just poor,
now look at that across the street how divine, I must get that
dress for you, just look at it!
Maeve Owens: MV: Alex! She asked you how long
you were staying, you could at least take a moment from your meal
to answer her! ::laughs::
Purple Freak373:
AX: OH sorry, a
man loves to eat! So how are you missy?
YarnKittymon: GT: ::looks at it, her expression
only slightly softening; very quietly:: I won't do it, you know.
No matter how big a mistake she's made, even she doesn't deserve
to have that associated with her anniversary.
Maeve Owens: MV: ::rolls her eyes::
Purple Freak373:
FX: ::walks over
to the shop:: Why don't you go try it on, and I might get you
a matching necklance hmmm?
Maeve Owens: NR: ::laughs:: I'm just fine and
from I can tell you must be in heaven.
Purple Freak373:
AX: hummm mmmmm
yep sure am!
YarnKittymon: GT: ::looks back at Fox, desperation
in her eyes, but she just quietly says:: If you like.
Purple Freak373:
FX: ::opens the
door for her:: After you my lil sweetness...::smiles::
YarnKittymon: GT: ::goes in; softly:: Don't you
want to be with your family, Fox?
Purple Freak373:
FX: I am with my
family Greta. ::walks in and looks around:: My what things they
have...
YarnKittymon: GT: Nothing so nice as Europe.
Maeve Owens: MV: ::she takes a few bites out
of her salad which is swimming in dressing:: At least the tension
at the table has left the restaurant. ::smirks::
Purple Freak373:
AX: ::hoping his
father would come back soon with the money to pay:: So anybody
have a job or going to school?
Maeve Owens: MV: I'm working with Libby and
I am definitely not going back to school. I think its a little
too late for that. ::smirks::
YarnKittymon: LR: ::folds her hands in her lap
and looks down at the place on the table in front of her, though
she manages to speak, in a voice not all that much louder than
a whisper:: Jack's provided everything we needed, since before
my husband passed away.
Purple Freak373:
FX: Yes true....but
were not in Europe right now..
Maeve Owens: NR: And I'm working at a store
up in New York. ::smiles:: I'm getting married soon.
YarnKittymon: GT: We will be soon enough.
Purple Freak373:
AX: Congrats to
that! I'm studying to be a teacher soon.
Purple Freak373:
FX: Yes...soon
enough I suppose, well actually Greta, I wanted to ask you somthing...
Maeve Owens: NR: Thanks. And good luck with
your teaching.
YarnKittymon: GT: ::looks at Fox coldly:: What?
Purple Freak373:
AX: Thank you very
much.
Purple Freak373:
FX: I wanted to
stay a few more weeks, make some business deals, and see how the
horses are doing here, I miss my horses..
YarnKittymon: GT: We can go back to New York
if you like, but I'll not stay on this island.
Purple Freak373:
FX: Yes yes, thats
what I ment, I wanna go back to New York for a time.
YarnKittymon: GT: That's fine. Denny's taken
care of, right?
Purple Freak373:
Ax: ::finishes
eating:: oh that was good stuff! ::burp:: oh excuse me, I'm dreadfully
sorry about that..it was sooo good!
Purple Freak373:
FX: Yes yes he
is well taken care of....Greta? ::Looks down::
Maeve Owens: MV: ::mutters:: Yes, we noticed.
::pushes her salad plate away:: Are you ready? We can put our
pan into action.
Maeve Owens: NR: ::looking interested:: What
plan/
Purple Freak373:
AX: I have to pay
first, gotta wait till father comes back....
YarnKittymon: GT: What?
Purple Freak373:
FX: Do you love
me?
YarnKittymon: GT: ::coldly:: Did I ever say I
did?
Purple Freak373:
FX: What does that
mean?!
Maeve Owens: MV: ::looks to Nicole:: We're planning
on scaring a few people, maybe the drunks who stumble out of the
bar. ::glances to Alex:: He still be chasing her all the way to
Gate Town.
Maeve Owens: NR: Sounds like fun, can I join
you guys? ::looks to Alex::
YarnKittymon: GT: ::looks back at the salesperson
in the store:: We weren't even greeted when we came in. We'd better
not spend any money *here.*
Purple Freak373:
AX: Its okay I'll
use my money to pay...::sighs::
YarnKittymon: LR: ::quietly:: You shouldn't have
to do that. Nicole and I can pay for our own.
Purple Freak373:
FX: Greta? Just
answer the damn question!
Purple Freak373:
AX: No no, its
no trouble at all, really! ::pays the waitress:: its fine.
YarnKittymon: GT: ::looks up at Fox; softly::
How can I love anyone who frightens me so? I'd rather you hit
me than give me nightmares.
YarnKittymon: LR: ::though she hardly dares to
insist:: Then we must take you out somewhere.
Purple Freak373:
FX: Really...is
that so...
Purple Freak373:
AX: Umm well me
and Maeve was going to scare drunks...you know..
Maeve Owens: MV: ::chuckles:: He's stubborn
and so is his father. Dont worry about it.
Purple Freak373:
FX: ::finds the
most showing dress, and expensive:: Now put this on in the dressing
room, I'll go pay.
YarnKittymon: GT: ::softly, taking the dress::
You're worse than Milo.
Maeve Owens: MV: ::looks pointedly at Alex:::
And you know, Nicole wanted to know if she could come along but
you didnt' bother to answer her.
Purple Freak373:
FX: Wait till you
find out why I'm making you wear it now..missy!
Purple Freak373:
AX: I'm a guy I
don't listen..I"m really sorry miss, sure you can!
YarnKittymon: GT: ::goes to the dressing room,
murmuring:: It's not my color.
Purple Freak373:
FX: Heh it doesn't
need to be...
Maeve Owens: NR: I'm noticing this.
Maeve Owens: MV: Dont pay any attention to him
nicole... He was born with a very small brain.
YarnKittymon: GT: ::comes out several minutes
later, wearing the dress, a bit of hatred still in her eyes::
YarnKittymon: LR: ::smiles slightly at the scene,
remembering her little girls pestering their big brother Jack::
Purple Freak373:
FX: Oh my don't
you look lovly, I alreday paid, where is your old clothes?
Maeve Owens: NR: ::turning to her mother:: You
dont mind if I go do you? If you dont want me to leave I wont.
YarnKittymon: GT: Back in the dressing room,
of course. ::they're neatly folded on the table there::
Purple Freak373:
AX: Yes its true
my brain is the size of this this...what is that? ::pinks up somthing
from the floor::
YarnKittymon: LR: ::shakes her head quickly::
Of course; you should go and have fun, dear.
Purple Freak373:
FX: ::picks her
old clothes and walks out of the store:: Follow me Greta!
YarnKittymon: GT: ::walks after him, angrily::
I look ridiculous, and these shoes don't match the dress!
Purple Freak373:
AX: Hey Maeve look
its an earring, you want it, or you Nicole?
Purple Freak373:
FX: I know you
look like a prostitute!
Maeve Owens: NR: Its pretty but I dont have
one to match it.
Purple Freak373:
AX: Maybe for good
luck perhaps?
Maeve Owens: MV: ::smirks:: Take it to Toby,
he can make you another one.
YarnKittymon: GT: ::looks at Fox wide-eyed; says
a few curse words in German, and then changes direction, walking
the other way, towards the general store::
Purple Freak373:
FX: I would be
carful sweetie men maight stare...
YarnKittymon: GT: ::coldly:: Let them. ::goes
into the general store and takes a few cents out of her pocketbook,
buying a sheet of paper, and envelope, and a stamp; borrows a
pencil and hastily scrawls a note::
Purple Freak373:
FX: ::looks at
her Then at the store clerk:: Hey how much cutie?
YarnKittymon: : ::the clerk looks at Fox, rather
confused at the scene before her:: How much what?
Purple Freak373:
FX: I was asking
this pretty lady how much she costs...
YarnKittymon: GT: ::completely ignores Fox--she
folds the note and shoves it into the envelope, licking it and
sealing it, and writing "Libby Will--" and X-ing out
the "Will," replacing it with the closer-to-accurate
"Richardson", and then pushes past Fox and back out
of the store::
Purple Freak373:
AX: that would
be neat, here take it..::hands it to Nicole::
Maeve Owens: MV: ::looks to Jack's mom:: We
hate to leave you just sitting here. I'd say wait for them to
return but I'm afraid it would be hazardous to your health. ::whispers::
They tend to drive you up the wall.
Purple Freak373:
FX: ::follows her
laughing madly::
YarnKittymon: LR: ::looks at Maeve; quietly::
I'm sure...um...Mr. Indigo is a good man.
Maeve Owens: NR: ::she takes her ear ring::
Thanks. ::she looks at it, not sure what she is really going to
do with it::
Purple Freak373:
AX: Yeah I really
can't stand my stepmother at all...
YarnKittymon: GT: ::heads to a restaurant next;
she walks past the servers and tables into the kitchen::
Purple Freak373:
FX: Ho ho, what
are you doing in the kitchen?
YarnKittymon: LR: ::doesn't say anything, though
it's clear from her expression that she's probably not forgiven
Mrs. Indigo for what she said about Jack::
Maeve Owens: MV: Oh he is, dont get me wrong.
But the two of them together is a little too much for one person
to handle. ::smirks:: Alex and Fox used to be the same way. ::rolls
her eyes:: Living with them was like biting nails.
YarnKittymon: GT: ::spots a block of butcher's
knives and before anyone can stop her, yanks one out, holding
it to her neck, tears in her eyes:: Tell Libby I'm sorry.
Purple Freak373:
FX: Hold on!!!!
You can't do this! ::puts her to a nightmare::
Purple Freak373:
FX:: ::catches
her:: I'm sorry I went to far...
YarnKittymon: GT: ::sinks to the ground and drops
the knife, trembling in terror and weeping, unable to get out
of her nightmare in real life, or in her dream::
Purple Freak373:
FX: ::Hugs her::
I'm so sorry, I'm such a jerk...::picks her up and carries her
out::
YarnKittymon: GT: ::is still in her nightmare,
whimpering, and very faintly struggling to get free::
Maeve Owens: NR: Seems to me that woman can
cause enough problems on her own without anyones help. ::knows
very well what she has said about Jack and doesnt care for the
woman either::
Purple Freak373:
AX: ::looks at
his Father:: What did you do now?! ::he stand up::
YarnKittymon: LR: ::follows Alex's gaze, and
gasps to see Greta's tears, as it reminds her too much of her
own past::
Purple Freak373:
FX: Alex help me
carry her to the hotel please, I'll explain on the way...
Maeve Owens: NR: ::looks a little shocked as
well and once she sees her mother she puts a comforting hand on
her arm::
Purple Freak373:
AX: ::follows his
dads orders::
Maeve Owens: MV: ::groans, dropping her head
into her hands::
YarnKittymon: LR: ::softly, once Alex is gone::
She's just having a spell, right? He wouldn't...hit her?
Purple Freak373:
:: Fox and Alex
Carries her back to the hotel, there Fox stays with her and Alex
comes back to catch up with Maeve::
YarnKittymon: GT: ::can't wake until Fox lets
her::
Purple Freak373:
FX: ::Lets her
wake up::
Maeve Owens: MV: ::shakes her head:: No, of
course not. She probably just went crazy on someone and had to
stop her from doing something.
YarnKittymon: GT: ::wakes, and screams when she
sees Fox; pushes herself off the bed and tries to get away::
Purple Freak373:
Alex:: ::enters
the resturant hoping they are still there::
YarnKittymon: LR: ::frowns, worried about madness
running in Libby's family, but she's sure Jack wouldn't marry
someone who was crazy::
Purple Freak373:
FX: GRETA Calm
down! ::graps her hands:: Calm down...shhhhh...
YarnKittymon: GT: ::looks at Fox, panicked::
I'm begging you, Fox; kill me and finish it!
Purple Freak373:
AX: ::sits by maeve::
I think its time for deserts huh?
Purple Freak373:
FX: Why in bloody
hell would I do that for? Woman use your head!
Maeve Owens: MV: ::nods her head:: That might
make us all cheer up somewhat. ;::she glances to Mrs. Richards
and frowns, looking a little concerned::
Maeve Owens: NR: What happened Alex?
Purple Freak373:
AX: Oh she fainted
again....you know...
YarnKittymon: GT: I wish I was dead and I don't
want to go to hell, since I'm already there. ::curls up in the
corner, sobbing::
Maeve Owens: NR: ::looking worried:: Does that
happen often?
Purple Freak373:
FX: Shhhhh....::sits
by her:: Okay Great, whats wrong...you have all the stuff you
want money, clothes what eles is there to you?
Purple Freak373:
AX: ummm yeah all
the time..nothing new...heh...
YarnKittymon: GT: ::yells at Fox:: Not being
humiliated? Not being forced through ungodly nightmares by a husband
who thinks it's *fun*? Maybe Libby was right!
YarnKittymon: LR: ::trying to brighten up, though
it takes an effort:: How long have you two known Libby and Jack?
Purple Freak373:
FX: ::nods:: See
my point, Libby is right! she is very smart and can make choices
of her own!
Purple Freak373:
AX: Umm since 1927
I think..counts his fingers...
YarnKittymon: GT: ::suddenly stops struggling
and her eyes grow cold; softly:: And I've made mine, too. Please
go back to the general store and retrieve that letter for me.
I'll send it when it's time.
Maeve Owens: MV: Alex introduced me to Libby
about four years ago.
Purple Freak373:
FX: I'm not going
to leave you alone to kill yourself!
Maeve Owens: MV: And I just met Jack last year.
Purple Freak373:
AX: I just met
Jack at the wedding, I wonder how the honeymoon is doing...hmmm
::smiles and laughs::
YarnKittymon: GT: ::dully:: Fine. Give me my
clothes and I'll do it myself.
YarnKittymon: LR: ::flushes rather deeply:: Um...how
did you meet Libby, then?
Maeve Owens: MV: ::hits him::
Purple Freak373:
FX: Here! ::hand
them to her:: But I'm coming with you.
YarnKittymon: GT: ::still in a monotone:: Fine.
::changes in front of him, not worrying about the curtains::
Purple Freak373:
FX: ::lifts an
eyebrow:: You know you really don't look all that old..
Purple Freak373:
AX: Ow..what was
that for..oh nevermind...::smiles::
YarnKittymon: GT: I feel it. ::gets her dress
buttoned and heads out of the room, not waiting for Fox::
Purple Freak373:
FX: ::followes
her:: Darling...I'm sorry...but do be mad at me, and please accept
Libby's descition!
YarnKittymon: GT: ::softly:: I do accept it.
I'll write another letter to tell her, if you like. I just hope
she hasn't made the mistake I have.
Maeve Owens: MV: ::looks at Mrs. Richards::
I'm sorry, sometimes you have to repeat yourself to get him to
listen to you. I dont know how Alex met Libby but I met her in
New York and I guess you could say she gave me a job. ::smiles::
YarnKittymon: LR: Oh? She's from New York?
Purple Freak373:
FX: ......would
it pleases you if I left? Would you not try to kill yourself again?
I'll give you the money...
Purple Freak373:
AX: Oh huh? OH
yeah, I used to work for Libby, met on the street...
Maeve Owens: NR: Did she own a store in New
York too?
Purple Freak373:
AX: Ummmm kinda
but it was more of a show..kinda like broadway...in a sense...
YarnKittymon: GT: ::looks at Fox, rather startled::
Enough to live back in New York?
Maeve Owens: MV: ::nods:; Yes, she's originally
from New York.
Maeve Owens: NR: ::looks a little impressed::
The two of you are actors then?
Purple Freak373:
FX: Yes, you can
live in New York, I can take care of Denny for you, and you can
start anew life...
YarnKittymon: GT: ::starts to sob in relief;
softly:: You're not lying to me, Fox?
Purple Freak373:
AX: Wellll kinda...yeah
a bit...yeah sure if you wanna call us that..::Smiles at maeve
and winks::
Purple Freak373:
FX: No, lets go
back to the hotel and write the stuff out.. common...
Maeve Owens: MV: ::chuckles:: Well, we did do
a pretty good fight scene.
YarnKittymon: GT: ::softly:: I need to...fetch
my letter back first...
Purple Freak373:
FX: Sure go ahead,
I'll be in the park...
Maeve Owens: NR: A fight scene? How did that
work out?
YarnKittymon: GT: ::nods and gets the letter,
returning in a couple minutes::
Purple Freak373:
AX: Well I would
grap her like this..::graps her:: and twist her like this..::twisted
her around:: hehe
YarnKittymon: LR: ::watches the scene with wide
eyes::
Purple Freak373:
FX: ::head is low::
come sit by me Greta...
Maeve Owens: MV: Alex! ::slaps at him:: I've
burned you once, I'll do it again!
Purple Freak373:
AX: ::hugs her::
Awww my kitten!
YarnKittymon: GT: ::does so, silently::
YarnKittymon: LR: ::can't help but wonder if
the two are really just cousins, but she doesn't voice it::
Maeve Owens: MV: ::pushes him away:: And I bite
too. Hard.
Purple Freak373:
FX: Good luck Greta...I'm
sorry I couldn't make you happy..
Purple Freak373:
AX: ohhh like I'm
scared!
YarnKittymon: GT: ::doesn't reply with anything
but a rather fearful look::
Purple Freak373:
FX: Well go to
the court tomorrow, I'll give you want you need and take custody
of denny, and then your a free woman to do what you please...but...
Maeve Owens: MV: You should be. ::Sticks her
tongue out at him:: Grow up.
Maeve Owens: NR: ::sits back and watches, amused::
YarnKittymon: GT: I doubt a court here can grant
a divorce...and I never secured one from Milo.))
Purple Freak373:
FX: Well its okay,
I'm never gonna marry again, just do what you please, but be nice
to Jack and Libby or I'll take the money all away..
YarnKittymon: GT: I won't have contact with them;
don't worry.
Purple Freak373:
FX: Well write
me letters and let me know how you are doing...I'll give you enough
to go to New York then I'll mail you the rest from Europe.
YarnKittymon: GT: ::nods quickly, just in a hurry
to be free from him::
Purple Freak373:
FX: Okay well go,
do what you want then. ::runs off to the resturant hoping to catch
up with Alex having tears in his eyes::
YarnKittymon: GT: ::takes the money and instantly
goes back to the room to pack::
Purple Freak373:
AX: Well I'm gonna
have some chocolate cake what about you Maeve? Nicole and Mrs.
Richarson?
Maeve Owens: MV: Do you even have to ask?
Maeve Owens: NR: I'd like some icecream. ::smiles
at her mother:: Are you going to have anything?
YarnKittymon: LR: ::softly:: A little ice cream
would be wonderful.
Purple Freak373:
AX: ::orders chocolate
cake for him and Maeve and ice cream for the guest::
Purple Freak373:
FX: ::rushes in::
OH Alex! come here!
Purple Freak373:
AX: ::Looks up
at his father:: huh? Whats wrong Dad?
Maeve Owens: MV: ::winces:: Great... please
dont be another crisis.
YarnKittymon: LR: ::watches the scene, not unlike
a scared mouse peering out a mousehole at a cat::
Purple Freak373:
FX: Oh Greta is
leaving me..is that a crisis or what! ::tears come from his eyes::
I messed up...
Purple Freak373:
AX: Yesssss! Thats
not a crisis thats a good thing, let the old hag leave!
YarnKittymon: LR: ::turns away and tries not
to listen, knowing none of this is intended for her ears; quietly
asks Nicole if she sent that letter out to Nancy yet::
Maeve Owens: NR: ::nods, her eyes glancing from
her mother to the scene in front of them, looking a little worried
about her:: Yes, I sent it earlier today. Why?
Purple Freak373:
FX: Alex.....
Maeve Owens: MV: ::hits Alex's arm again::
Purple Freak373:
AX: ::hugs his
dad:: I'm sorry dad...
YarnKittymon: LR: ::softly:: No reason; it's
just rude to listen in on them. ::stands:: Perhaps we should go
powder our noses for a few minutes.
Maeve Owens: NR: ::she nods, standing by her
mother, maybe a little over protective::
Maeve Owens: MV: ::quietly:: I'm sorry she left
you Uncle Fox.
Purple Freak373:
FX: Yeah well I
guess I was too hard on her, well anyways, I'm going to go walk
around by myself, I'll see you kids later...
YarnKittymon: LR: ::heads off to the powder room,
which is every bit as sophisticated as a restroom anywhere on
the mainland::
Purple Freak373:
AX: ::stares at
his dad leaving:: I think our family never has luck with women,
either they die or leave...
YarnKittymon: : ::Maeve and Alex can overhear
a man who just walked into the café retelling what he's
heard of the scene that occurred maybe twenty minutes ago at the
restaurant down the street::
Purple Freak373:
AX: ::listens::........
YarnKittymon: : ::the man goes on:: They cleared
out the whole place. If I'd just been there an hour earlier I
probably would've gotten to eat for free. ::sighs:: But they didn't
have time to serve me so thanks to that crazy old lady, here I am. ::smiles at the waitress:: Not that I'm sure
your food isn't delicious too.
YarnKittymon: : ::frowns, looking at Alex:: I
didn't hear, but someone said they thought it was Miss Will--I'm
sorry; Mrs. Richards's mother, though she was in a ridiculous
evening gown. They say she's gone mad.
Purple Freak373:
AX: oh..umm Maeve?!
Maeve Owens: MV: ::blinks:: Uh oh. What should
we do?
Purple Freak373:
AX: I really don't
know....I'm just a man!
YarnKittymon: LR: ::peeks out cautiously from
the ladies' room, and comes out when she sees Fox has gone, though
she doesn't say anything::
Maeve Owens: NR: ::follows her mother closely::
Maeve Owens: MV: Well, I guess we have to go
find her! ::walks off::
Purple Freak373:
AX: ::follows Maeve::
what are we gonna do when we find her?
YarnKittymon: LR: ::looks at her daughter doubtfully,
then sits down; quietly:: Do you fancy cake? Because it looks
like we just bought some to go with our ice cream.
Maeve Owens: MV: How should I know! Take her
to Isaac?
Purple Freak373:
AX: Whos Isaac?!
Maeve Owens: NR: ::frowns:: I suppose so. Things
seem very complicated around here.
Maeve Owens: MV: ::tries to supress a smile::
A um, guy here that heals people.
YarnKittymon: LR: It seems like much of the trouble's
with these family members coming from out of town. ::pauses, frowning::
You don't think we troubled your brother, do you?
Purple Freak373:
AX: Ohh..is that
the same guy who healed the cat by anychance?
Maeve Owens: NR: ::shakes her head:: No, I dont
think so. At least he seemed happy to see us. But I dont think
we're as bad as these people seem to be.
YarnKittymon: GT: ::is at the stables, trying
to negotiate the lowest price for a ride back to Gate Town, trying
to get a bargain, though she's having no luck, given the air of
desperation that clings to her::
Maeve Owens: MV: Healed what cat? but no, it
isn't. ::frowns:: Although he did heal a cat... just not the one
you're talking about.
Purple Freak373:
AX: Oh....Okay
lets find this guy I guess what not...::hurries after her::
YarnKittymon: LR: ::shakes her head quickly::
And at least we haven't said bad things about Libby.
Maeve Owens: MV: We have to find her mother
first! ::is still heading to where Mrs. Indigo should be::
Purple Freak373:
AX: Gotcha.....
YarnKittymon: : ::they are nearly run-over by
a rather young and inconsiderate groomsman, driving a small buggy
with Greta sitting beside him, a prim look on her face::
Purple Freak373:
AX: Hey maeve look
its Greta!
YarnKittymon: : ::the groom slows down, but Greta
murmurs:: Keep going.
Maeve Owens: MV: ::jumps out of the buggy's
way:: Mrs. Indigo! Wait! Where are you going? Are you alright?
YarnKittymon: GT: ::looking down at them:: I've
left a letter for my daughter at the post office. I'm moving back
to New York.
Purple Freak373:
AX: Well good luck
in New York....::mummbles this::
Maeve Owens: MV: ::elbows Alex; quietly:: Just
because she's insane you could still pretend to be nice! ::forces
a smile back up at her:: Well, I hope you have a nice trip.
Purple Freak373:
AX: Yeah see ya
next fall...:: waves::
YarnKittymon: GT: ::looks suspiciously at Alex,
then murmurs to the groom, who starts the horses again::
