YarnKittymon: : ::that night, after the shows,
Libby invites all the women acts to stay the night to work on
their boxes for the box social next week::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::brightly:: It shan't be
*too* noisy; Sunday nights are the quietest times around here,
in the summer, at least. Not that that's saying much.
MaeveOwens: MV: :::shrugs:: I'm use to noise.
Living with Fox and Alex is like living with two todlers that
fight constantly.
YarnKittymon: LB: ::smiles:: True enough, but
they're not drunks, at least. Though given the choice, I might
prefer the drunks. ::to everyone:: You brought your nightclothes,
right?
YarnKittymon: DN: ::nuzzles Becky:: You'll help
me with my box, right? I don't wanna get paste in my fur.
Quantum Catz: BM: ::smiles at Daniel:: Sure

goes back to change into her nightgown::
YarnKittymon: DN: ::looks accusingly at Maeve::
You're not gonna go mad again, are you?
MaeveOwens: MV: ::glares at Daniel::: I dont
know. Maybe. :::folds her arms across her chest::::
YarnKittymon: DN: ::mrrs, frightened::
Quantum Catz: BM: Don't scare scare him like
that
MaeveOwens: MV: :::grins:: Scaredy cat.
YarnKittymon: DN: ::hisses at her::
MaeveOwens: MV: ::sticks her tongue out:::
YarnKittymon: DN: ::pounces at her::
Quantum Catz: BM: ::frowns:: Leave him be
MaeveOwens: MV: :::gets up and runs::: Hey!
YarnKittymon: : ::there's a knock on the door,
which is locked, the keys are on a hook next to it, though::
Quantum Catz: BM: ::grabs Daniel:: Calm down,
okay?
YarnKittymon: DN: She's mean...
Quantum Catz: BM: ::sighs:: sometimes, but you
know libby needs her for the show
MaeveOwens: MV: I'm mean? You were the one
who pounced on *me*!
Quantum Catz: BM: You scared him!
MaeveOwens: MV: He asked for it!
YarnKittymon: : ::there's another knock on the
door::
Quantum Catz: BM: He didn't *ask* for it!
MaeveOwens: MV: Did too.
YarnKittymon: DN: ::hisses at Maeve again::
Quantum Catz: BM: ::sighs and looks at maeve::
think you can behave enough long enough for me to answer the door?
YarnKittymon: DN: ::has his ears back, still
looking at Maeve, his tail down::
MaeveOwens: MV: :::shrugs and watches the
cat:::
Quantum Catz: BM: ::goes over to the door and
quickly unlocks it, still watching maeve and daniel warily::
YarnKittymon: DN: ::looks defensive, but not
like he's going to pounce::
Quantum Catz: BM: ::turns away from them and
yanks the door open::
Hgriffithk: AL::Opens
the door and peeks her head around it:: ummm is this the freak
show club thing?:: comes in and closes the door behind her nearly
catching her wollen skirt in the door::
YarnKittymon: DN: ::looks up; mrrs:: Who's that?
MaeveOwens: MV: :::turns around, suprised:::
Hi.
Quantum Catz: BM: ::blocks the girl's way to
stop her moving in any further:: Who are you?
Hgriffithk: AL;;
Erins Little sister
Hgriffithk: AL::
walking into patch of light her brown/blonde hair shines and she
puts her hand on the table next to her which iare covered by long
silk gloves and a Blue tinted top onder a shall::
Quantum Catz: BM: What're you doing here?
YarnKittymon: LB: ::comes out, dressed in her
nightgown (more of a slip; it has no sleeves):: Alisha!
Hgriffithk: AL:: oh, hi again
YarnKittymon: LB: You came all this way at night,
by yourself?
MaeveOwens: MV: So, if you are here... then
where is Erin?
Quantum Catz: BM: ::winces:: She hasn't randomly
disappeared lately has she, Libby?
Hgriffithk: AL: Yes, i wanted to meet you
all, this place sounded lie soo much fun!
Hgriffithk: AL: Erins at home
Quantum Catz: BM: And she let you come here
on your own?
YarnKittymon: LB: Last I heard, she was still
disturbed over whatever happened Wednesday. ::sheepishly grins::
At least that one wasn't my fault.
Hgriffithk: AL: Yea she got a shock but she'll
be better soon
YarnKittymon: LB: Surely she'll be better for
the box social...?
MaeveOwens: MV: :::is a little curious:::
Does unusual powers run in the family....
Hgriffithk: AL: ehe Yes it dose all exept
for my father
MaeveOwens: MV: :Oh. So what can you do?
Hgriffithk: AL: I'll show you, can i have
a volenteer?
MaeveOwens: MV: Sure
Quantum Catz: BM: I'll do it if you want
Hgriffithk: AL: ok, ummmm whats your name?
Quantum Catz: BM: Becky
MaeveOwens: MV: :::looks a little disappointed:::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::smirks:: *I* could try to
demonstrate on you, there, Maeve. ::smiles:: Where's Alex, anyway?
Finishing school?
Hgriffithk: AL: Ok sorry but i can only choose
1 person...:: Takes of one of her gloves::
Quantum Catz: BM: What're you going to do?
Hgriffithk: AL:Ok becky i'll show you just
relax...
Quantum Catz: BM: Why do i need to relax?
MaeveOwens: MV: No, thats quite all right.
That would make Daniel a little to happy. Alex is off with Serena.
YarnKittymon: DN: : :mrrs, offended::
YarnKittymon: LB: Oh. ::looks down; after a
moment:: I guess I'd best convince her to join the show, then,
or we'll never see him.
Hgriffithk: AL::Touches Becky on the shoulder::
MaeveOwens: MV: ::shrugs::: Just pray that
Serena starts working more on the weekends.
Quantum Catz: BM: ::her image starts to flicker
and disperse as if she was about to teleport away, a pale light
surrounds her for a moment and they can all hear her crying out
as she vanishes::
Hgriffithk: AL: AHHHHHHHH!!!!! whered she
go?
MaeveOwens: MV: Ummm...was that suppose to
happen?
MaeveOwens: MV: Guess not...
YarnKittymon: LB: ::grabs Alisha's collar::
What did you do to her?
Hgriffithk: AL:I dont know whats her power?
YarnKittymon: LB: She can teleport through time
and space.
YarnKittymon: DN: ::mrrs, cowering in the corner::
Hgriffithk: AL: Cool! I can teleport through
time and space AWSOME!!!
YarnKittymon: LB: ::blinks:: What are you saying?
MaeveOwens: MV: :::walks over at Daniel and
sympathizes with him for once::: Daniel, I know we dont get along
that well, but dont worry. We'll get her back. :::pats him on
the head and then snatches her hand back afraid he will bite:::
Hgriffithk: AL: My power is to take other
peoples powers but it always wears off, all i dont understan is
where she is...
YarnKittymon: DN: ::looks at Maeve, surprised::
You're worried about her?
YarnKittymon: LB: ::eyes widen:: But...Becky
said she *is* her powers...
MaeveOwens: MV: :::mumbles::: good thing she
didnt use mine.... :::looks down at Daniel::: Sure I am.
Hgriffithk: AL: WHAT!!!
YarnKittymon: DN: How come? I thought you didn't
like her.
Hgriffithk: AL: Then i just absorbed Becky?
MaeveOwens: MV: :::eyes widen::: Uh oh. That
doesnt sound good.
YarnKittymon: LB: ::looks at Alisha, eyes wide::
I don't know if she'll recover, then...
MaeveOwens: MV: :::pats Daniel again::: Cover
your ears kitty. This could get ugly.
YarnKittymon: DN: ::meows mournfully, looking
up at Maeve::
Hgriffithk: AL: I thin she will coz i always
give back peoples powers and seein as she is power there should
b no proble.....
Quantum Catz: AL: Let me go...
YarnKittymon: LB: ::releases Alisha's collar::
I don't know...
MaeveOwens: MV: Yeah but she isnt here for
you to give them back...
YarnKittymon: LB: ::looks at Maeve gratefully
for expressing her thoughts so well::
Hgriffithk: AL: Hey what just happened there?
YarnKittymon: DN: ::meows again:: Make her come
back...
Quantum Catz: AL: ::frightened:: Let me go!
Hgriffithk: AL: AND THERE!!!
YarnKittymon: LB: ::pauses:: Becky? Are you
in there?
MaeveOwens: MV: :::looks confused:::
Hgriffithk: AL: AHHHHH!!!! NOOOOOOOOO!!!!
To weird :'(
YarnKittymon: LB: Calm down!
Quantum Catz: AL: Let me go! ::alisha suddenly
fades and teleports to a few feet away::
YarnKittymon: LB: Alisha! Becky!
MaeveOwens: MV: :::stands up and moves toward
Libby::: What should we do?!
YarnKittymon: LB: I don't know...we can't exactly
hold her down or anything...
MaeveOwens: MV: What happens if she teleports
out of here? I thought her powers were suppose to wear off?
YarnKittymon: LB: I suppose they will...
YarnKittymon: DN: ::mrrs plaintively:: What's
going on?
MaeveOwens: MV: :::points at Alisha::: You
see that mean girl over there? She ate becky.
YarnKittymon: DN: ::mrows pathetically, and
so loudly some of the folks still hanging around the Bowery two
blocks over wonder where the cat in heat is::
YarnKittymon: DN: ::suddenly, extending his
claws:: I'll cut her open and get Becky out then!
MaeveOwens: MV: :::holds the cat back::: no
daniel, that could do more harm.
YarnKittymon: DN: She's already got eaten. How
can I hurt her more?
MaeveOwens: MV: :::shrugs::: I dont know!
:::lets him go::: Go for it then.
YarnKittymon: DN: ::hisses at Alisha, then pounces
her, claws out::
YarnKittymon: LB: Daniel!
MaeveOwens: MV: Go daniel!
Hgriffithk: AL: Becky TELEPORT!!!
YarnKittymon: LB: ::looks at Maeve, horrified::
What did you tell him to do?!
Quantum Catz: AL: ::suddenly looks confused::
What? ::teleports a few feet away again::
MaeveOwens: MV: :::holds her hands up and
tries to look innocent::: I didnt tell him to do anything!
Hgriffithk: AL: YAY!!!
YarnKittymon: DN: ::hisses again, and stalks
forward towards Alisha, his eyes gleaming::
Hgriffithk: AL:I'll Try it this time for fun
^_^
Quantum Catz: AL: Dan...
MaeveOwens: MV: ::calls out to Daniel::::
This time dont miss!
Hgriffithk: AL:: Teleports riht behind danial::
MaeveOwens: MV: Daniel! Behind you! :::jumps
up and down:::
Quantum Catz: AL: Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!
YarnKittymon: DN: ::looks around, confused,
then turns around and hisses at Alisha::
YarnKittymon: LB: Daniel, Maeve, both of you,
stop it!
Hgriffithk: AL: SORRY!!!
MaeveOwens: MV: What?
Hgriffithk: AL: If u hurt me Erins gonna be
mad :: sticks tounge out at danial::
Quantum Catz: AL: ::yanks on her own hair as
if trying to pull it out:: Stop it!
Hgriffithk: AL: OUCH!!!
YarnKittymon: DN: ::jumps at Alisha again, heedless
of Libby's objections::
MaeveOwens: MV: :::leans over and whispers
to Libby::: Think she is scared of fire? Maybe if we get her scared
enough she will let Becky go....
YarnKittymon: LB: I don't know if it works that
way...I think she's already frightened...tell him she didn't eat
Becky!
Quantum Catz: AL: Daniel!
Hgriffithk: AL: Yea Shes right here
Hgriffithk: AL: If u hurt me u hurt Becky
MaeveOwens: MV: Ok ok ok. :::calls out to
Daniel::: I was only kidding Daniel, she didnt eat Becky.
YarnKittymon: DN: ::looks back at Maeve, tail
twitching:: Were you tricking me?
Quantum Catz: AL: I don't like this. I don't
like this. Let me go
MaeveOwens: MV: ::shakes head::: I was only
kidding... :::leans over and whispers to Libby again::: How else
do you explain that Becky is inside her!?
YarnKittymon: LB: ::whispering angrily:: Well,
when someone gets eaten, she generally *dies*!
YarnKittymon: DN: ::mrows mournfully again::
MaeveOwens: MV: :::frowns::: Oh. oops.
Quantum Catz: AL: Dan...
YarnKittymon: DN: ::looks at Alisha:: You killed
Becky...::starts to cry::
MaeveOwens: MV: No she isnt Daniel. She is
just trapped inside Alisha. :::whispers to Libby again::: There,
is that better?
Quantum Catz: AL: Don't cry Dan...I didn't die!
I won't die! I don't wanna fade away! Let me go!
Hgriffithk: AL: I havent killed her she'll
be back to normal soon.
YarnKittymon: LB: ::glares at Maeve:: Much.
YarnKittymon: DN: ::still sobbing:: Bring her
back!
Hgriffithk: AL: IT's not like your gonna be
inside me for ever, you'll be back to normal soon, i promise.
Quantum Catz: AL: ::looking upset:: I'm *here*
Dan!
Hgriffithk: AL: I CANT JUST BRING HER BACK!
Hgriffithk: AL: She'll be back soon
MaeveOwens: MV: How soon is soon?
YarnKittymon: LB: Calm down, Daniel. She'll
be fine. ::doesn't sound completely convinced::
Quantum Catz: AL: But I'm *here*! I'm *here*!
Hgriffithk: AL: Usually i only take peoples
powers for a few hours but i didnt touch Becky for long so it
probably wont be half as long...
YarnKittymon: DN: ::whimpers::
Quantum Catz: AL: ::weakly:: I'm here, Dan....I'm
not gone, stop acting like i am, please!
Hgriffithk: AL: I'm soo sorry i didnt mean
for any of this to happen
YarnKittymon: DN: ::whimpers again:: If you're
Becky then I tried to claw you open...
Hgriffithk: AL: Yea you would have clawed
Becky open too...
MaeveOwens: MV: :::looks around innocently:::
Quantum Catz: AL: Stup up, you'll just upset
him, Alisha!
Hgriffithk: AL: IM SORRY!!
YarnKittymon: DN: ::runs under the stands and
starts licking his paw, dejected::
Hgriffithk: AL: sorry, i think w're all just
confused
YarnKittymon: LB: ::sighs:: Everyone just calm
down. Alisha, Becky, whoever you are, sit down. ::motions to the
stage:: We're going to just wait this out.
Hgriffithk: AL: I think i can do that...
Quantum Catz: AL: I don't *want* to wait it
out! I want out now!
YarnKittymon: LB: ::grabs Alisha's shoulders::
Calm down. It will only be a little while. I daresay I've made
you disappear for longer than that.
Hgriffithk: AL: SO DO I !!! But i cant DO
anything about it :'(
Quantum Catz: AL: I've *not* disappeared though!
I'm stuck in this stupid body!
Hgriffithk: AL: What u callin stupid?
MaeveOwens: MV: :::holds her hands over her
ears:::: I take it back. This much noise is worse then Fox and
Alex.
Quantum Catz: AL: I just want to be myself again!
YarnKittymon: LB: ::glares at Maeve:: You're
not helping!
MaeveOwens: MV: :::throws her hands up in
the air::: First I get yelled at for trying to help and now I
get yelled at for not helping...what do you want me to do?
YarnKittymon: LB: You baited Daniel to try to
*kill* her! What good would *that* do?
MaeveOwens: MV: It was *his* idea...
YarnKittymon: DN: ::creeps out from under the
bleachers; approaches Alisha::
Hgriffithk: AL: Im sorry...
YarnKittymon: LB: And you encouraged him! Someday
someone will be killed!
YarnKittymon: DN: ::sniffs at Alisha, then licks
where he clawed her::
Quantum Catz: AL: It's okay, Dan...
Hgriffithk: AL:: Strokes his fur ^_^
YarnKittymon: DN: I thought you ate Becky...
MaeveOwens: MV: ::::shrugs and looks down
at her feet:::: I'm sorry... once I know Becky is back in one
piece I'll get out of here. Then you wont have to worry.
Hgriffithk: AL: I just took her power
Quantum Catz: AL: I wish you'd all stop talking
like i wasn't here
YarnKittymon: DN: ::calms considerably at being
petted::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::looks steadily at Maeve::
Perhaps that would be best.
Hgriffithk: AL: sorry Becky
MaeveOwens: MV: :::nods and goes over to sit
in the corner to wait::::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::sits down next to Alisha,
sighing::
Quantum Catz: AL: ::sighs:: Once there was this
variant, and they tried to remove her powers, and her powers became
me...you couldn't've known i wasn't just a normal person...
YarnKittymon: LB: So you take the powers of
others? How terrible...
Hgriffithk: AL: Im ok with it...
Hgriffithk: AL: As long as i dont hurt anyoe
im fine
YarnKittymon: LB: Well, *you're* not the one
being stolen from!
Hgriffithk: AL: HEY!! Some people want there
powers stolen so i help them!
YarnKittymon: LB: ::looks at her, shocked::
How many freaks do you know? I've only met the ones at this show,
and I suppose that madman from Wednesday...
Hgriffithk: AL: I knew the ones in my parents
group...
YarnKittymon: LB: Oh...
Quantum Catz: AL: What group?
Hgriffithk: AL: the group for Varient rights...
Hgriffithk: ((I think that was it))
Quantum Catz: ((variant rights in 1928?))
YarnKittymon: ((The term variant was hardly
coined either--barely anyone called them that. There was a group
of maybe variants (probably not called that) living somewhere
maybe with Erin's story; I don't remember--that incident she made
up where the government or someone attacked
them))
Quantum Catz: ((did i hear this story? i don't
remember it if i did ^^;;))
Hgriffithk: ((i did from heather))
YarnKittymon: ((Um...I'll see if I have any
of the info on my hard drive))
Quantum Catz: ((would this be the birthday story
that she never told?))
YarnKittymon: ((Might be.))
Quantum Catz: ((probably, that was where she
was gonna talk about her parents ^^))
YarnKittymon: ((This all isn't stuff I'd let
fly today but I guess I did back in January. ^_^;
Both Erins parents were varients, and were killed in the Piccadilly
Shootings in 1926.
Many varients were
killed in that year, with groups rapidly forming against the 'mutants'.
This is when Erin discovered her power, and fled to America to
escape the violence and start a new life.
But most importantly to forget the terrifying visions she saw
of her parents death, which she has now almost completly surpressed.))
YarnKittymon: ((Darn it; everyone's making my
head spin. I should've been a real GM @_@))
YarnKittymon: ((At any rate, the term 'variant'
is probably only used by really really left-wing people; even
Libby's hardly ever heard it))
Quantum Catz: ((them and becky of course..she
uses it all the time))
YarnKittymon: LB: ::looks at Alisha:: What are
you talking about?
MaeveOwens: MV: ::::still sitting in the corner
she sighs heavily and watches the group She honestly hopes becky
comes out of this okay:::
Quantum Catz: AL: My head hurts...I don't like
this....I can't think
YarnKittymon: LB: ::matter-of-factly:: Take a
nap, then.
Quantum Catz: AL: *I* can't - it's *her* body
Hgriffithk: AL: I'll try if you will to...
Quantum Catz: AL: I don't want to fade away....
YarnKittymon: LB: ::quickly:: You won't fade
away.
Quantum Catz: AL: I can't think, i wasn't supposed
to think...
Hgriffithk: AL: What do you mean by that?
Quantum Catz: AL: ::softly:: How many variants
do you know...whose powers could think for themselves?
Hgriffithk: AL: none exept for you....
YarnKittymon: LB: ::sighs; gets up and walks
over to Maeve, not sure what to say to her::
Quantum Catz: AL: ::sounds confused:: wasn't
supposed to think
Hgriffithk: AL:...............
Quantum Catz: AL: ::suddenly teleports clear
across the room as if to prove to herself that she still has that
much control::
Hgriffithk: AL:: Looks up confused::
MaeveOwens: MV: :::watches Libby approaching,
she looks sad:::
Quantum Catz: AL: Wasn't supposed to... ::drifts
into silence::
YarnKittymon: DN: ::mrrs when Alissa teleports
away, but is content to see her on the other side of the room::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::leans against the wall,
looking kind of tormented herself::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::finally, quietly:: You're
a popular act...it's a real shame to lose you, Maeve...
MaeveOwens: MV: :::looks up at Libby and nods,
not sure what to say:::
YarnKittymon: LB: Alisha could've been killed...Erin
would never forgive us...or Daniel...
MaeveOwens: MV: :::sighs::: I know. I wasn't
thinking. I figured if the cat cut becky out everything would
be just fine.
Hgriffithk: AL: I THINK she would forgive
u, shes not good at holding grudges againsed friends...
YarnKittymon: LB: ::looks at her incredulously;
belatedly hides her smile behind her hand:: What?
MaeveOwens: MV: :::shrugs::: I dont know!
::::burries her head in her arms::::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::softly, not angrily:: You're
madder than Alex...
YarnKittymon: DN: ::to Alisha:: Not if I ate
you up.
MaeveOwens: MV: :::her voice muffled::: So
i have been told.
Hgriffithk: AL: Dont wory i wouldnt have let
you eat me ::smiles::
Quantum Catz: AL: ::very faintly:: eaten...up...?
YarnKittymon: LB: ::sighs; slides down the wall
and sits next to Maeve, not speaking::
YarnKittymon: DN: ::nods:: I was angry.
Hgriffithk: AL:: we all were...
Hgriffithk: AL: And very confused...
Quantum Catz: AL: ::frowning, struggling to
speak:: Scared...
YarnKittymon: DN: ::tail flicks:: I'm tired.
YarnKittymon: LB: ::finally, quietly:: I guess
I should've taught Daniel not to take you seriously...
MaeveOwens: MV: :::her head bobs up and down:::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::sighs:: Well, we can patch
Alisha's clothes, and I guess she'll get better, though I ought
to wash her wounds.
Quantum Catz: AL: Hel... ::can't seem to find
the ability to finish what she's saying::
Hgriffithk: AL: Great First impresions
Hgriffithk: AL: Yo ok Becky?
Quantum Catz: AL: ::doesn't reply::
Hgriffithk: AL: ummmmm......Becky?
YarnKittymon: DN: ::mrrs::
Hgriffithk: AL: BECKY WAKE UP!!!:: punches
hrself:
MaeveOwens: MV: :::lifts her head up::: What
happened? Did she fade away?
YarnKittymon: LB: ::looks up:: What are you
doing?!
Quantum Catz: AL: ::still doesn't say anything,
but alisha can feel her arm being pulled back a bit::
Hgriffithk: AL:ok, i'll stop punching myself
if you say something, ...deal?
YarnKittymon: LB: ::pauses, pale:: Alisha, lie
down!
Hgriffithk: AL:ok::Lies down on ground::
YarnKittymon: LB: Now rest. Don't move *anything.*
::shakily sits down next to her::
Quantum Catz: AL: ::her mouth opens to speak
but she can't form the words::
Hgriffithk: AL: You can do it Beacky...
YarnKittymon: LB: ::quietly:: Sssh...if Becky
uses her powers too much, she'll vanish...you might be using her
energy and not even know it, and you *wouldn't* know, but Becky...::cringes::
So just lay still.
Hgriffithk: AL:: Trys to relax::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::softly:: Is she still inside
you?
Hgriffithk: AL:Yes
Hgriffithk: AL: But hardly......
YarnKittymon: LB: ::shudders:: Just rest. Don't
think or move.
YarnKittymon: DN: ::mrrs, head and tail down
near the floor::
YarnKittymon: DN: ::gives Maeve a rather accusatory
look::
MaeveOwens: MV: :::ducks her head again:::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::closes her eyes; whispers::
Dear God, please bring Becky back...
YarnKittymon: DN: ::mrrs:: She's gone, isn't
she?
Hgriffithk: AL::Wishes Erin was here...::
Hgriffithk: AL: No shes still there
Hgriffithk: AL: But Shes nearly gone....
YarnKittymon: DN: ::meows loudly::
YarnKittymon: LB: She'll be fine. Sssh, Alisha.
Maeve, would you bring a pillow and a blanket?
MaeveOwens: MV: :::nods and gets up to get
them:::
YarnKittymon: : ::there's a couple trunks in
the back room; it's hard to guess what's inside--the most obvious
blanket and pillow are, of course, the ones on one of the two
beds::
MaeveOwens: MV: :::goes into the back room
and looks inside one of the trunks. She comes back carrying a
pillow and a blanket. She hands them to Libby:::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::puts the pillow under Alisha's
head, and drapes the blanket over her:: I guess we should've carried
her to a bed, but it seems dangerous to move her...
MaeveOwens: MV: How about some water or something
to drink?
YarnKittymon: LB: ::nods:: There's a glass in
the bathroom.
MaeveOwens: MV: :::gets up to get it. She
comes back with a full glass of water. She hands it to Libby:::
YarnKittymon: LB: Thank you. ::kneels next to
Alisha::
MaeveOwens: MV: :::nods and retreats to the
corner:::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::sits Alisha up:: Drink this,
then.
Hgriffithk: Al: ::can feel her powers wearing
off::
Hgriffithk: AL:Whats water gonna do , it will
only help me an im not the invalid
YarnKittymon: LB: ::helplessly:: I don't know!

to reappear lying beside alisha, she remains transparent for a
long time and then solidifies, although she doesn't appear to

Becky even before she becomes solid::
YarnKittymon: LB: Thank heavens...::strokes
Becky's hair::

she blinks but doesn't say anything::

Hgriffithk: AL: Say something...
Hgriffithk: AL: Like a sentence...

You look very guilty.
YarnKittymon: LB: ::softly:: You were in Alisha's
body...
MaeveOwens: MV: :::tries to put on an innocent
face::: Home...
Quantum Catz: BM: No, I...got lost...
JopDance: jm: ::frowns:: Did you catch something
on fire again?
YarnKittymon: LB: ::concerned:: What do you
mean?
MaeveOwens: MV: No...the place is smoke free.
JopDance: jm: ::frown deepens:: Then why
are you running away?
MaeveOwens: MV: :::gets defensive::: Who says
I am running?
JopDance: jm: It looks like you are.
Quantum Catz: BM: No more Becky....just...the
powers...
MaeveOwens: MV: Well, I'm not.... :::goes
to leave again:::
Hgriffithk: AL:ummmm.......i think i shoul
go now.......
YarnKittymon: LB: ::quietly:: I thought you
*were* your powers...
YarnKittymon: DN: ::looks up at her:: I won't
eat you though.
Quantum Catz: BM: Wasn't supposed to...think...
YarnKittymon: LB: ::surprised:: Becky...
Hgriffithk: AL::Exits out the door quietly::
YarnKittymon: DN: 'Bye!
Hgriffithk: AL:Bye bye....
Quantum Catz: BM: No powers are...
YarnKittymon: LB: What are you talking about?
Quantum Catz: BM: ::softly:: Would you like
it if your powers became a seperate person to you, and controlled
you?
YarnKittymon: LB: ::quickly shakes her head::
No. But I can't control them myself, so perhaps we're equals.
JopDance: jm: ::grabs her arm:: If you harmed
a toothpick in there...
Quantum Catz: BM: ::looking like she's about
to cry:: i got lost, when i was inside her...because it wasn't
me who was supposed to have control...
MaeveOwens: MV: ::::looks stricken::: Ummm...no...not
really...
Quantum Catz: BM: there wasn't supposed to be
a *me*
YarnKittymon: LB: ::cringes:: Becky....you...you
are who you are; you can't help it.
JopDance: jm: ::pulls her towards the door::
Come on then.
MaeveOwens: MV: :::tries to get away::: Umm,
I ... umm...no!? :::holds on to the door frame:::
Quantum Catz: BM: When i die i'll just fade
away and there won't be anything afterwards cos i'm just...the
powers...
JopDance: jm: ::doesn't let go:: Why not?
MaeveOwens: MV: :::whines::: I dont know,
cause I wanna go home...
JopDance: jm: ::pulls harder:: That's not
good enough; try again.
YarnKittymon: LB: ::softly:: You have a soul,
Becky.
MaeveOwens: MV: Pulling me back in there wont
solve anything either!
Quantum Catz: BM: Do I? ::looks away from libby::
I didn't exist...and there was nothing...
JopDance: jm: What did you do in there?
MaeveOwens: MV: :::whispers softly::: There
was a slight misunderstanding. :::starts babbling::: Alisha came
in, sucked Becky inside her, Daniel got the idea to cut Alisha
open to get Becky out and it sound like a good idea to me...
YarnKittymon: LB: God made the world out of
nothing, Becky. I guess he can put a soul into an insubstantial
body if he wants.
JopDance: jm: ::stares, half surprised,
half amused:: What?
Quantum Catz: BM: But *God* didn't make me,
maybe there is no God
YarnKittymon: LB: ::stares:: Becky! Are you
a heathen?
MaeveOwens: MV: I sort of :::pauses::: encouraged
him?
JopDance: jm: ::shocked:: Did Daniel cut
someone open?
Quantum Catz: BM: I'm a *lab experiment*! What
does it matter whether i believe in God or not?
MaeveOwens: MV: :::shakes her head no::: Almost....
YarnKittymon: LB: ::softly:: You're a person,
Becky...every bit...every bit as much as I am, or Daniel is...
YarnKittymon: DN: ::mrrs::
JopDance: jm: ::frowns and lets her go::
MaeveOwens: MV: :::relieved, rubs her arm:::
I'll be seeing ya. Bye. :::runs:::
JopDance: jm: ::hesitates and then calls
out:: Hey! Wait!
MaeveOwens: MV: :::turns around hesitantly:::
What?
Quantum Catz: BM: If i was a person, i wouldn't
have...got lost...so easily ::stands up, looking upset, and then
stumbles and rubs at her head::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::stands too:: That's not
true. To be trapped in someone else's body--and with them conscious
as well--it's a wonder you did as well as you did.
JopDance: jm: ::walks over.:: Let me come
with you. ::she says looking as if she wanted to say something
else.::
MaeveOwens: MV: :::looks confused:::: Ummmm....
MaeveOwens: MV: No, I think you should go
inside. They need you I'm sure. I'll be fine.
MaeveOwens: MV: ::walks off:::
Quantum Catz: BM: ::frowns as if the thought
hadn't occurred to her:: But I was gone
YarnKittymon: LB: I'm sure the same would've
happened to anyone else in your situation, Becky.
Quantum Catz: BM: There wasn't anything there,
Libby. It just all went blank...and then i woke up...
YarnKittymon: LB: ::looks a little pale for
a moment, but then shakes her head:: Don't be silly. God knew
you were going to come back, so he just let you sleep. Or some
say we stay in the ground 'til the Rapture anyway.
Quantum Catz: BM: ::looks like she's about to
cry again:: It was horrible waking up and there was just this
big emptiness...
YarnKittymon: LB: ::eyes wide:: What do you
mean?
Quantum Catz: BM: I didn't feel like me...i
didn't feel like anything....i don't know...
YarnKittymon: LB: ::softly:: When we go to heaven,
our bodies will be transformed...I daresay it will feel a little
strange...
Quantum Catz: BM: ::smiles weakly:: What body?
JopDance: jm:: ::Jasmine enters the building::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::smiles:: I never understood
how we could have any bodies in heaven at all, if we're just spirits,
but now that I've met you, I think maybe I can see how it works
out...
JopDance: jm: ::calls out cheerfully:: Hi
Libby! Hi Becky!
Quantum Catz: BM: ::bursts into tears::
YarnKittymon: LB: Becky!
JopDance: jm: ::frowns and walks over::
What's the matter?
Quantum Catz: BM: ::still crying:: Nothing
Alexlndigo: AX: ::walks in::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::looks up at Jasmine and
Alex:: One of you, talk some sense into this poor thing and convince
her she has a soul!
Alexlndigo: AX: ::looks at becky:: If you
don't have a soul, then why are you alive? Everything living has
a soul, the trees, the birds, and even us freaks.
YarnKittymon: LB: ::groans::
Quantum Catz: BM: I'm not alive ::she holds
out her arm:: Like to feel for a pulse?
JopDance: jm: ::sits on the floor in front
Becky and laughs:: Of course you have a soul!
Quantum Catz: BM: ::looking upset:: Don't make
fun of me!
Alexlndigo: AX: We just think its silly of
you to think your dead thats all...
JopDance: jm: I'm not making fun of you;
I just...of course you have a soul!
YarnKittymon: LB: ::gently:: Descartes. You
think, so you must *be.* That's how he figured out he was *real.*
Quantum Catz: BM: ::softly:: I'm just a fragment
of someone else...maybe i do think but what if in the end I'll
have to just go back to being a fragment of her? ::sighs:: I don't
want to fade away
YarnKittymon: LB: Oh, Becky, that won't happen.
We're all just made of dust. When we're done living we turn back
into dust, but our souls don't go back to what they used to be....
Quantum Catz: BM: ::looks away:: I'd...rather
not talk about this anymore. I don't want...to think about it
YarnKittymon: LB: ::nods solemnly:: All right,
but I'm going to make you go to at least *one* church service
a week, then. Protestant or Catholic; you can pick.
Alexlndigo: AX: ::sits down and smiles at
Becky:: I'll pray, that if you don't have a soul, the God will
give you one, so you don't have to worrie about it anymore.
YarnKittymon: LB: ::smiles, rather surprised
at Alex making sense for once::
Quantum Catz: BM: ::smiles at Alex:: Thanks,
i guess
Alexlndigo: AX: ::smiles:: your welcome. OH
guys I got to tell you about my date..::humms::
YarnKittymon: LB: No you don't.
JopDance: jm: ::grins:: You could go to
my church if you wanted.
Alexlndigo: AX: ::Stares at Libby:: Your no
fun...hey Jasmine, can I go too? I don't have one..That would
be cool to go to church with ya and Becky! ::smiles and hugs Becky::
JopDance: jm: Sure!
Alexlndigo: AX: Alright! ::jumps up and down::
I get to go to churrrchhh!
Quantum Catz: BM: ::uncertainly:: I've...never
been to a church before
YarnKittymon: LB: ::looks down for a moment,
sadly, then at Becky:: I don't know if you'll like it, but it's
good for you.
Alexlndigo: AX: I remeber when I was little,
at first when you don't know anything its boring, but once you
get used to it, and you understand it, its real fun!
Alexlndigo: AX: I like the music!
YarnKittymon: LB: ::after a pause:: So much
for the box social.
Alexlndigo: AX: ::looks at Libby:: I'm gonna
be good today... gonna be good..
Quantum Catz: BM: Yeah, sorry. I should've asked
what Alisha's power was before i volunteered i guess
JopDance: jm: Well, we can have it another
time.
YarnKittymon: LB: I was just hoping to get the
boxes finished...well, no matter...::pauses, then realizes she's
in her sleeveless nightgown in front of a male; covers her chest
with her arms, looking at Alex angrily:: Alex!
Alexlndigo: AX: Darn I was good, I'm not a
gentleman so How would I know about that...
YarnKittymon: LB: ::gives Alex another angry
look, though it's not quite his fault; goes to her back room and
puts a robe on, then comes out again::
Alexlndigo: AX: ::looks sad:: I tried so hard
to be good, but in the end, it was for not...
YarnKittymon: LB: ::sighs:: Well, if we're all
up, shall I make some coffee or tea?
JopDance: jm: ::stands up and pushes Alex
playfully:: Don't take it so hard.
YarnKittymon: DN: ::curls up by Becky, purring::
Alexlndigo: AX: Hey why don't we have a slumber
party!
YarnKittymon:
LB: That was my intention, but that fell through. And we can't
have one with a man here.
Quantum Catz: BM: ::strokes Dan, staring down
intently at her hand::
Alexlndigo: AX: I'm not a man..well a boy...well
yeah I guess I am a man once I hit 20!
YarnKittymon: LB: You're more than old enough
to mess around with some girls. ::smirks::
JopDance: jm: laughs:: Alex, is that true?
Alexlndigo: AX: Hey not till I'm married,
and I have a girlfriend..
YarnKittymon: LB: Oh, so you two are really
an item?
Alexlndigo: AX: yeah...shes so great....pretty...sharp...ahhh....
YarnKittymon: LB: Right.
Alexlndigo: AX: But for real, I love her alots,
somthing that some people don't understand...
YarnKittymon: LB: ::shrugs:: I'd understand
it better if you hadn't had two other girlfriends you loved in
the past six months.
Quantum Catz: BM: ::softly:: Must've hurt Michelle
Alexlndigo: AX: ::is really affended and says
some dirty things under his breathe::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::mildly:: Please watch your
language, Alex.
Alexlndigo: AX: ::Looks at her eye to eye::
I made a mistake okay? I really love Serena, with all my heart!
I really do, I never felt this way before...
YarnKittymon: LB: Whatever makes the two of
you happy, Alex.
Quantum Catz: BM: ::sighs:: Yeah
Alexlndigo: AX: Oh really Libby, wheres your
husband? ::looks around:: I don't even see a boyfriend...oh look
heres some dust!
YarnKittymon:
LB: Even Ethan knows well enough to stay away from a women's sleepover,
which is more than I can say for someone here.
Quantum Catz: BM: ::wearily:: Come on, don't
fight
Alexlndigo: AX: Oh yeah, you have to go as
low as to have an affair with a married man..
YarnKittymon: LB: ::stares:: Pardon me?
Alexlndigo: AX: you heard me...
YarnKittymon: LB: ::folds her arms, blushing::
I don't know what you're talking about.
Quantum Catz: BM: ::winces and looks at the
ground:: Shut up, Alex
Alexlndigo: AX: ::Looks at her:: Yes you do,
you know perfectly well He's married...didn't you?
Quantum Catz: BM: ::glares at him:: You're supposed
to be her friend, how can you say things like that?
YarnKittymon: LB: ::shakes her head:: He's *not*...he
can't be...
Alexlndigo: AX: ::looks down:: I'm sorry Libby,
but he is....
YarnKittymon: LB: ::looks around the room helplessly;
picks up the glass of water that she had offered to Alisha and
hurls it towards the new wall--it shatters, and spills water all
over::
Quantum Catz: BM: ::looks worried:: Libby!
Alexlndigo: AX: ::Jumps back, almost cries::
I'm sorry...:: starts to pick up the glass::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::looks at the two of them
for a moment, then goes out the front door, still in her robe::
Alexlndigo: AX: ::runs after her:: OH libby
wait....I...I'm...
Quantum Catz: BM: ::runs after her:: Libby,
stop, come on!
YarnKittymon: LB: ::just walks towards the ocean,
not paying any attention to the stares and occasional catcalls
of passersby::
Alexlndigo: AX: ::runs next to her, and puts
his hand on her shoulder:: Libby...I'm sorry I realy thought you
knew...;
Quantum Catz: BM: ::grabs libby's arm to try
and force her to stop; tearfully:: No, i won't let you go anywhere
near the ocean!
Alexlndigo: AX: ::takes off his jacket and
put it on her::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::glares back at Becky:: I'm
not jumping in! That...::curses::...he's not worth it.
Quantum Catz: BM: His wife thinks he's possessed
by the devil - i don't think she's ever coming back!
YarnKittymon: LB: ::stares at Becky, then Alex::
Please. Leave me alone.
Quantum Catz: BM: No, i'm not leaving you out
here
YarnKittymon: LB: ::curls up against a wall
and starts to cry::
Quantum Catz: BM: ::glares at Alex:: How did
you find out anyway? Ethan didn't want you to know!
Alexlndigo: AX: I'm sorry...::looks at Libby::
I really am!
Quantum Catz: BM: ::touches libby's arm:: Come
on, please, let's just go back home
Alexlndigo: AX: ::leands down and hugs her
tight:: Please Libby...I'm sorry..
YarnKittymon: LB: I thought.....I'm as big a
fool as Alex's girlfriends...
YarnKittymon: LB: Don't touch me!
Quantum Catz: BM: No! Ethan loves you! You're
not a fool!
Alexlndigo: AX: ::steps away:: I was not using
Michelle! Darn why come everyone says that..
YarnKittymon: LB: ::stands, still crying:: Please.
Leave me alone.
Alexlndigo: AX: Friends don't let sad friends
be alone, then we wouldn't be friends...::puts out his hand::
Quantum Catz: BM: You've not been much of a
friend so far ::shoots another glare Alex's way and then turns
back to Libby:: i'm not going anywhere until you come with me
YarnKittymon: LB: ::softly:: Fine. I'll go back
home, but you must promise to leave me be.
Alexlndigo: AX: Steps back:: I might do stupid
things, and say stupid things Becky, but so does everyone! I don't
mean to hurt her, I never had! I wish I could be perfect...
Quantum Catz: BM: You don't have to snap at
me - i'm the one who usually defends you!
YarnKittymon: LB: ::gets up and heads back to
the Freak Show building::
Quantum Catz: BM: ::follows libby, ignoring
alex:: He never meant to hurt you...his wife thinks divorce is
a sin or something stupid like that...he *does* love you...
Alexlndigo: AX: I think the whole thing is
wrong, Libby, theres plenty of guys, you just gotta look..
YarnKittymon: LB: ::quietly:: It *is* a sin.
Quantum Catz: BM: But...his wife hates him...she
was horrible to him...
Alexlndigo: AX: ::Looks at her:: yes it is
sin...
Alexlndigo: AX: she might not be so horrible,
just how she was taught.
YarnKittymon: LB: If she didn't have relations
with another man, it's a sin, Becky. It's sad....I don't know
what I'll do....
Quantum Catz: BM: ::looks annoyed:: No wonder
he didn't want either of you to know, if that's what you think
- she thought he was a monster because he's a variant, isn't that
*worse* than having an affair?
Alexlndigo: AX: Just don't do anything, just
be friends...I know its hard, and I don't know too well..
YarnKittymon: LB: Oh, shut your trap, Alex.
::back to Becky:: I don't know what I'll do, Becky...
Alexlndigo: AX: Becky, one can't help it,
some are just taught wrong, its not her fault, lets not point
fingers here.
Quantum Catz: BM: If she really cared about
him she would have accepted who he was - if this is all you get
laboured with with your stupid religion then i don't really see
the point in it
YarnKittymon: LB: ::trying not to cry:: Please...be
quiet...both of you...
Alexlndigo: AX: But its not the religion fault,
its humans, she can't help it, sometimes people teaches the wrong
thing...God gave us powers...some thinks its the devil, all how
you been taught.
YarnKittymon: LB: ::glares at Alex, and goes
back into the back room, slamming the door::
Quantum Catz: BM: ::winces when the door slams
and then glares at Alex:: Why are you still here anyway?
Alexlndigo: AX: its not good manner to leave
an arguement you started.
Quantum Catz: BM: Well i really don't think
she needed to be preached at about what to do by *you*
YarnKittymon: DN: ::wakes up when the door slams;
looks at Alex and Becky curiously::
Alexlndigo: AX: ::sits down:: .......
Quantum Catz: BM: ::sighs and looks over at
Daniel:: Sorry, did we wake you up?
YarnKittymon: DN: ::yawns:: Where's Libby?
Quantum Catz: BM: In the back room, she said
she wanted to be on her own
YarnKittymon: DN: Oh. ::curls back up again::
Alexlndigo: AX: ....::looks up::.....sorry...
YarnKittymon: : ::they can hear muffled sobbing
coming through the wall::
Quantum Catz: BM: ::looks upset:: Why did you
have to *tell* her that?
Alexlndigo: AX:: I said I was tired..oh I
know becky why dont miss perfect you go back in time and stop
it? huh? huh?
Quantum Catz: BM: ::mutters:: I never said i
was perfect but if i went back to fix every mistake *you* made
i'd be at it forever
