Part 1 - the Intervention
[10:18 PM] Denny crane: "i think you'd better take these" Denny would pass a glass of water to luci '...you look like shit"
[10:19 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "thanks..." luci would look up "um, how did you get there, you're supposed to be in here?" luci tapped his head "thats not right, you know the rules, only one of us out at a time, and, i get first dibs..."
[10:22 PM] Denny crane would shove Luci back down onto his bed "Luci... luci, what are we gonna do with you? You've had another breakdown buddy, you gone and eaten a month's worth of candy in two weeks, you've not slept more than three hours and .... you haven't had a touch of your medicinal herbs in forever... and your running a half dozen jobs, relax" Denny would attempt to force luci to take the pills "trust me, i'm a lawyer...
[10:24 PM] Denny crane focuses on their skill of Wrestling, successfully performs a physical assist on Lucifrage Rofcal.
[10:24 PM] Denny crane would force the pills down luci's mouth, for his own good, in Denny's veiw[10:27 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal would gasp and swallow " gah... thats not right, I really should not be seeing you, that's really not healthy for me...' he would try and resist fighting and lay back, if you could not trust the man handling your retirement fund, who could you trust? "How bad am I?"
[10:31 PM] Denny crane: "you seriously don't know do you? you have half the town wanting to kill you, the other half who've seen you on your other days ... they're more forgiving, they've seen you sing, tell stories of wonder and cook up a storm... problem is, people are either in the love you or hate you camp... you've let it slip, you've lost the plot, right now, I'm gonna pen a letter to your boss at the police station, you're off duty for a week, and, you're gonna take those pills and slow down dammit, you been running yourself on empty, and, you've made some bad calls, shit..." Denny looked about "...If you so much as touch any work other than cooking this week, I'll have you forcibly detained in a padded cell."
[10:38 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "yes Dennis... I'm sure you have my best interests at heart, take it easy, mellow out, de-stress and .... um..."
[10:40 PM] Denny crane: "thats right, and, don't forget the long list of apologies and kissing up, man, you're fucking screwed if you don't take it easy, you're gonna explode and take us all with you apart from your wife, our wife, she's fucking had enough, i don't know how, but, if she files for divorce, I'm fucking gonna leave with her"
[10:42 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "seriously!" luci would feel the pills kicking in "Ok, I fucked up, I'm on mental sick leave, starting now for a week, you don't need to sign me into the loony bin for my own good, I know good sense when I hear it, and, Bunny's told me i need to make amends, i know I'm in the shit, I gotta stop digging it deeper... I understand, early night and padded cell tomorrow..."
[10:44 PM] Denny crane: "padded sofa Luci..." Denny spoke, seeing the drugs kick in " no need for anything too drastic, you just gotta sort your shit out ... and I'll take this...." Denny would lean forward and take Luci's sword off him "...there's no need for that in your state"

Part 2 - Committed
(the next morning, Denny brings luci to the mental health unit of the hospital)
[01:46 PM] Denny crane would escort luci to the hospital, watching him and making sure he does not fall "easy does it... almost there..." he would flop Luci onto the bed.
[01:48 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal flops onto the bed "Oh I'm... like a rag doll, what'sin those pills buddy?" luci asked "...I feel half asleep...." Luci didn't have the will to fight .
[01:50 PM] Denny crane: "Valarian mostly...they're to lower your stress and keep your impilses in check..." Denny grinned "..actually, the'll throw the world into a whole new perspective for ya... neat huh?" he looked down at luci " You're sword's gone, and, I've taken full power of authority ...dear client, you ain't doing shit all but sleep until someone sees you."
[01:52 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "so... when do I see a doctor, and, is there any doctor in this town other than my wife, who is ... specialists in... um.... crazy people?"
[01:53 PM] Denny crane: "you've had a mental breakdown, you let your lawyer sor that shit out, you just take your pills and dribble some"
[01:57 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "oh, I'm way ahead of you on the dribbling Denny...." luci spoke slowly..." I feel like i could sleep all day like a baby..." he grinned "...probably wake up crying at early hours in the morning as a bonus!"
[02:00 PM] Denny crane: "Now..." Denny spoke, "I'm gonna write you that letter... NO work for you for a week, nothing but cooking and waiting the restaurant, No police work...you're on sick leave, No trading ...I'll do that, definitely NO politics... and" denny shook his head "sorry I have to do this, NO wishes... I'm sorry, your gonna de-stress and take yer pills and see a shrink"
[02:00 PM] Denny crane: "I have full power of authority remember, it's for your own good, let me and the others handle work"
[02:02 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "No wishes?" luci rolled over "Oh gods, what next? no sex" this is insane!"
[02:04 PM] Denny crane: "luci? you honestly think your gonna get any comfort while your running on double time crazy? your beloved Bunny is wonderful, but, you'll be lucky if she don't divorce you..." Denny shook his head "...rate you're going, you won't even feel the love of a slutty mailbox"
[02:08 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "Ok, well..." Luci would try and conjure a pen, but with a puff of smoke would be holding a banana "...er, you'll have to write that letter Denny, I..." he shook his head "...you're right about no wishes..."
[02:17 PM] Denny crane: "ok here goes " Denny would read out what he's written "I lucifrage Rofcal, of fairly unsound mind and mostly harmless body, have taken a leave of absence from work due to the recommendation of my lawyer Dennis Alabaster Crane. I will rejoin such career activities within no less than a week, for my own mental health. I will refrain from bearing arms at this point and Officially retract any and all statements made in the last week with deepest regrets. I have suffered a nervous breakdown, and, would like to conceder my health and marriage before anything else. To the citizens of London..." denny looked at luci " Go on..."
[02:34 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "Um....." luci would lay there... the last few weeks playing past his mind, only, in this state, he would not get any aggressive or distressing emotion to any of it... just clarity, and the veiwing an outward observer would see. "...Uh ..." he would near choke on his ego as the words come out of him "... My deepist regrets for being a total knave?
as-salaamu
alaikum... Ana Aasif, Ahtaj musaaada lau simaHt laa afham. Ana taayah. khodni ala mata'em, law samaht-
Peace be with you, I'm very sorry. I need your help, I dont understand, I am lost. Take me home please."[02:36 PM] Denny crane: "Thats Honest... sincere and polite..." he looked at luci "only the two pills you took right?"
[02:37 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "yes only the two pills... you wouldn't even let me was it down with mead... and you know thats medicinal mead!"
[02:38 PM] Denny crane: "That's not medicinal mead, that's the old lady chef's rheumatism medicine, and...It's a mean hooch I tell ya... no, no drinking for you..."
[02:39 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "ah shit...." luci shrugged "so I gotta stay totally sober while I'm on these pills...all week?"
[02:39 PM] Denny crane: "you wanna get better right?"
[02:39 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "More than anything... more than anything..."
[02:39 PM] Heleena Thor scratches her head as she peers in seeing no one: "How odd...I could have sworn I saw someone in here." :she looks around taking in the medical devices on the tables. she hears voices coming from the other room and knocks on the door:
[02:41 PM] Denny crane: "This way..." denny's ears perked up "Your dip-shit, riot causing son's in here... follow the scent of padded cell!" deny shouted, opening the door more " ... Follow the smell of drugged out gingerbread boy!"[02:42 PM] Heleena Thor would frown and step through the door with well maintained grace she had mastered in her years of travel. she nods to the man then looks to find Luci on the bed:
[02:43 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "oh, that's fucking charming..." Luci would utter slowly "... Dennis... did you just..." luci's eyes widened but hey lay put "...did you tell my mother on me... you fucking spoonbill..."
[02:43 PM] Denny crane: "that's the worst insult out of you all week, by that i mean, the most polite... those pills are working good... gotta love valarian!"
[02:44 PM] Heleena Thor frowns then looks to the man then back to Luci: "Certainly you did not think that I would not find out about your little escapades. Even in the outer..Even on my travels, word of my family still finds me" :she looks to the man Luci was speaking to: You are?
[02:46 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "that's Denny... remember my inner lawyer?" Luci nodded slowly "...he's... err brought me in for my own good."
[02:47 PM] Denny crane: "one of us had to..." dennis smirked " You didn't think you could rely on Marcus? that little pirate would probably edge luci on to more heights of unthinking chaos... " denny shook his head "...seriously, he's gonna get a divorce, or killed or imprisoned if he keeps it up... and, If bunny leaves him, I'm going with her..."
[02:48 PM] Heleena Thor would raise her eyebrows and look daggers back to Luci then to Denny: "I...see..Forgive me I did not think that..um..was possible. Forgive me, I am going off topic. Perhaps questions on that should be saved for a later date. Now then, I should tell you that more then likely word of your..condition, will undoubtedly reach your 2nd mother and I can tell you this much, she will be less then pleased at the fornifications you have been engaging in without her. Other then that, how are you doing my son" :she smirked but this was her manner, to lay down what was and is without sugarcoating it. she made a point to comfort after the truth was said for embracing it was harder then listening to it. She was indeed happy to see her son had not been strung up and executed or chased out of town as she was accustomed to:
[02:52 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "well..." luci would sum up the week "...in have a feud with a dead man... I have a wife who's ashamed of me, she'd been sick and.. without her guidance I went off the rails, I ran out of hashish, I drunk, I made scenes, got into un-necessary brawls, and yesterday, I caused a near scene and got thrown of the town council..." he raised his arms "what was I to do, the mayor had invited me in, the vice mayor had forbid me enter.. at that point it all got on top of me and I had a breakdown... bunny was livid... " luci shook his head "... time i calmed down I was thrown off the council and trespassed entirely from the mayor's mansion."
[02:55 PM] Denny crane: "personally I think he got into so much stress being al over-nice during the election, he was a bundle of nerves, moment he was out of the running..." denny would throw his hands into the air "... he had all this pressure and no reason, in his head, to behave himself... and, with his wife ill, he didn't have the rightous kick to the shins to remind him to be the better man..." denny grinned "...and, lets just say... i know him, I have to live with his sorry ass..."
[02:56 PM] Heleena Thor nods her head listening to Luci then the look of worry can be seen clear as day in her eyes at the mention of Bunny becoming ill. But she would interrogate Luci on that matter for later: "It is not uncommon for those who arent used to us and our manner to draw conclusions too soon. But really son, the family has been established here long enough for most of its population to grow use to our antics. However knowing that you full out allowed your antics to spiral out of control is not completely a bad thing. It is a matter that I will try to bring up with the council once I speak to them. First off, tell me when these urges, these antics first started. Was Bunny already ill?
[03:00 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "well, yes, but her illness is of a private nature" luci shook his head "it's her diet, certian magics HER birth people need to live on... " luci would tap his watch knowingly "... here, it seems such energies are hard to come by, she's had to leave to france a few times to... feed up" Luci nodded "...and also, Chef's been in Sicily with her sisters and cousins... some old lady convention... you been with other mom... basicly, i had nobody to reign me in like I'm used to...."
[03:02 PM] Denny crane: "he's right... on and off, he's been lonely, and, the culture shock of the city, its customs... manners and rites, they all confuse him, he's not even aware of the taboo on speaking ill of the dead, he's under the delusion the dead want to be called the ass they were called while living..." denny shook his head "so naive... so stubborn...so stupid at times!"
[03:03 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "I am right here Dennis you ... Lawyer!"
[03:04 PM] Heleena Thor nods her head feeling partly to blame but she would save that for the end: "I do not think the council truly understands what you...what we are. You know what I am talking about Luci. Well when we go for an extensive period of time without our..bonded pair we forget to nurture ourselves in a certain area and that leads to an overabundance of your aura producing and forcing your common sense, or whats left of it, out your ear so that you act purely on selfish indulgence and spite. It would explain why you have just about gotten yourself chased out of this town. But these antics..there is a reason to them and that are not entirely his fault but the fault of fate" :She looks to Dennis: People here would call it schizophrenia. Only in this case without Bunny, or any of our other kin to help manage the production of aura, madness slowly slips in and restlessness takes over
[03:05 PM] Heleena Thor waves her hand: Frankly I do not know how youve not burned the city to the ground in our absence. I certainly would have and your 2nd mother would have eaten the population on the first day"[03:08 PM] Denny crane: "what you say make's sense....." denny said, shushing luci with his finger to his lips "... since the marrage, Bunny's split off matching persona's to marcus and I, while stemming off his chaos energies, hense she now often becomes Marcella the sea queen, or, denise the Abysmal legal aide..." Denny would go all glased over as he though of his sexy counterpart " so yes... Oh and speaking of out your ear..." he lowered his voice "he's not had a single ear since he got to the city, for that, i'm quite grateful"
[03:09 PM] Heleena Thor feels as if Dennis has spoken true and utter blasphemy. she quickly removes her handbag from her wrist and sets it down: "I almost forgot! I brought you some get better soon goodies. Some from here and some from...:she smiles: well your other home." :she takes out the meat pies, the goat cheese and bread, the apple pies, and a small black jar with a wicked smile on the label that could only be pickled elf ears.
[03:10 PM] Denny crane: "MMMF" luci would hold his mouth shut while dennis spoke, and, nodded in agreement "... its not their fault.. you'd think with all these persona's living in my head..." he looked at dennis "...or breaking out, I'd have a voice of wisdom... and before you say anything dennis, you're useless unless your drunk" he looked at hera "he's been drinking for half an hour before we even came in!"
[03:12 PM] Denny crane: "you shut your trap luci, Unlike you, at least i can handle my drink, you been a nusance all fortnight..." denny shook his head and turned "evening sir..."
[03:14 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "hullo" luci would slowly look up from the bed, obviously sedated "...are you the psyciatrist?" he would open the jar the woman had handed him , and take out a chewy treat, looking like a dried long peach "...please tell me you're the brain doctor..."
[03:14 PM] Dr. Percival Holmwood-Smythe peers around the room. "Any food here?"
[03:16 PM] Denny crane "oh gods.." dennis would look at what luci was eating "... you don't want that..." he would open his pocket and draw out some beef jerky in a bag, and pass it to the man, his bar snacks "here... its beef... not... what he's having.."
[15:17] Lucifrage Rofcal would take it from denny and pass it closer
[15:17] Lucifrage Rofcal performs Give Food on Dr. Percival Holmwood-Smythe.[15:17] Dr. Percival Holmwood-Smythe takes the beef jerky. "Thank you." He hungrily bites into it.

Part 3 - Mother's advice
[03:37 PM] Heleena Thor nods and takes a seat next to Luci's bed: Will the council allow you to have a hearing or at least to plead your case to them?
[03:40 PM] Denny crane: "seriously, I don't think luci's ever gonna be fit for politics, do you?" denny looked at the woman "tell me, he's always been honest... right? now, as You and i know, to be a leader in civilized western Europe, you need to have diplomacy, manners and tact... Luci has a good heart, but he's as diplomatic as a brick through your window"
[03:43 PM] Heleena Thor waves her hand dismissively: "When you have lived as long as I have you come to the realization that what these politics truly lack is a heart. This world should be grateful Luci has one at all. I think its admirable but alas this is not exactly the most auspicious place to be in politics given that everyone has a secret though they are not truly comfortable speaking so"
[03:44 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal chewed on the ear "He's right.... I .. er, I'm an entertainer and a cook... I realy don't need to be talking to the public en-masse... else I'll do myself a harm, or...possibly others if they listen to me and I'm actually wrong..." Luci swallowed "... this is not gonna affect my pills will it?"
[03:47 PM] Heleena Thor scoffs at the words: "Rubbish! Whose to say those in office are not equally flawed. Though I will give you this Luci, do what will cause you little to no harm but will still bring on enough enjoyment without the law being put on you. With Bunny ill and Grandmother off caring for our elders, it is very important that you get into as little trouble as possible. However, I do not think that actions taken against you were in all right. :she stopped and looked to Dennis: As you can see I too am cursed with having a heart"
[03:51 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "aye well, I guess I'm on lught duties, dennis won't even give me my sword to go hunting, he think's I'll bring hope a person and not a bear!" luci shook his head as he ly on the bed, "...truth is, i'd have problems hunting a fucking carrot while this.... err... relaxed"
[03:52 PM] Denny crane: "its in yer pants gingerbread man" denny offered "and if you hunt that with a sword, well..." denny grinned "More bunny for me!"
[03:52 PM] Heleena Thor nods sighing as she stands up: "As you wish. It is your choice. But since you are to be on leave, would you be willing to come home to enjoy this light absence. Perhaps this will give the locals enough time to put aside their frustrations with."
[03:56 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "come home... what , where are we talking about? the reasteraunt? your home in the hidden ilse of the Atlantic.... " luci rambled " ...i think I'm supposed to stay hare until Bunny gets in, or else... a psyciatrist of some sort... realy need to get my paperwork in order"
[03:57 PM] Denny crane: "he's right i was gonna make sure he sit's put until he gets someone qualified to ... start working on his causes, all i've done with the pills is curb the symptoms"
[03:59 PM] Heleena Thor taps her chin thinking then snaps her fingers: Perhaps his condition she be diagnosed further. Though my daughter in law would be the most qualified, I think there is another we can turn to that might be able to put his mind right. How long will it take you to find a system that works with my son being out of commission" :she would direct this questions to dennis:
[04:08 PM] Denny crane: "well... remember last time he was on pills...?" dennis would take out his file " ... he was on antismex (TM) to curb his... you know... sexual urges, back in America, that stuff seemed to work well, untill all those sluts turned up and he started chugging them like candy..." dennis thought hard "with just a compounded Valarian mixed with a few herbs like chamomile and catnip... and a little cannibis thrown in for good measure..." he shook the pill bottle "he can't overdose on them, I'll make sure of that... and when he comes right, he'll cut down to two a day."
[04:09 PM] Heleena Thor felt a rush of energy fill her: Your 2nd mother has arrived"
[04:09 PM] Denny crane: "Oh luci..." dennis smirked "you're in shit now!"
[04:10 PM] Rhaeon Thor snickers, "Oh I like him."
[04:11 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "um..." luci would make to get up and run, but, instead, roll off the bed with a thump then crawl back on, he was not going anywhere in this state "...don't listen to the lawyer..." luci tapped his head "he's from here, like marcus!"
[04:14 PM] Heleena Thor would pat luci on the shoulder: "You are overreacting. First of all she has just arrived and must eat. Second, it has been such a long time since she has seen you and...actually, yes you should panic"
[04:16 PM] Denny crane: "just don't wet the bed, I've not seen a nurse here all day, you piss it luci, you sleep in it..."
[04:18 PM] Heleena Thor shudders at the thought of excreted urine from Luci then takes a step back: "So in the mean time what is he suppose to do"
[04:20 PM] Victoria VanTassel rapped on the door to the mental ward as she stood there still whistling her tune waiting for someone to respond if not she would enter anyways after a moment
[04:21 PM] Denny crane: "seriously? I don't know, until we get someone from the hospital to get luci a shrink, we don't know what to do with him, we can't make any headway on... whatever issues he has that are treatable. All we can do is keep him calm, sedated and not stabbed by any one of about twenty or so local notables he's offended in the last two weeks, including one dead guy, but, his body's possessed and stinking up the jail cells so, i think we can rule out the reanimated corpse of lord Rune..."
[04:22 PM] Denny crane: "come in...constable..."[04:22 PM] Heleena Thor: stood behind her chair now looking to the individual who enters
[04:23 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "err..." luci would wave a letter at the woman "tell lyn i'm not coming in to work..." he would flop about lazy "...um, ... you know if we got any shrinks in this town? or should I just go home and start building my own padded cell?"
[04:24 PM] Victoria VanTassel nodded "Good evening, would you happen to know of a dead body placed in the padded room? Apparently in the mess that has come to the constabulary there have been things that have slipped through the cracks, that must be examined." looking to Mucifrage nodding "If you wish sir, I know of Lux, and I thought your wife was lead mental doctor of the hospital."
[04:26 PM] Heleena Thor pursed her lips at the woman's tone but otherwise said nothing. she politely exsued herself and went out of the room to meet with luci's 2nd mother:
[04:27 PM] Denny crane: "a wife can't treat her own hisband, and, Miss bunny is out of town right now... if mister lux or another psyciatrist could be summoned, that would be helpful, my client lucifrage here has had a nervous breakdown, the woman in the cell, if its a woman in red, all we could gather was she was a friend of the lady anarion... and she seemed quite ill..." denny shook his head "luci is quite unfit to deal with business right now, he's sedated..."
[04:28 PM] Denny crane: "Jillian was her name , that was the other think Luci gathered.. thats it, name and next of kin"[04:28 PM] Heleena Thor leans downs to plant a kiss on her wife's lips before looking from Luci, Dennis, the Constable then back to her wife: "It would appear our arrival was of course well timed, darling"
[04:29 PM] Rhaeon Thor nods from her wife's arm and pulls a muddy stick from her skirts with which to poke Luci, aiming, and gently prodding, "You sure he's sedated?"
[04:30 PM] Victoria VanTassel shook her head "No no not here, a body in here." she stroled over to the padded cells pearing throught the bars seeing the prtrified remains of what used to be an assassian's corpse a few weeks ago "Oh..." knowing this was not going to be a plesent job to do already cringing at the smell she could imagine dwelled behind that door
[04:31 PM] Denny crane: "he's totally sedated, you could put his lute up his bottom and he wont be able to do stuff all about it...." dennis grinned "...of course, as he's in trouble with his wife, he might not be gettin' any and enjoy it, so, lets not go there"
[04:32 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "no idea about the assassin's body, don't know if its a moor or a man-bear-pig... didn't see it, day of the assassination attempt on the mayor I was hit by a carriage"
[04:32 PM] Heleena Thor smirks: I dont believe repossession of one's sanity is applicable here sweetheart. But what he does need is mental care and unfortunately Bunny is caring for more important matters at hand." :she would say this while gently stroking her wife's long flowing black hair:
[04:35 PM] Rhaeon Thor nods in agreement, "Yes.. tender, loving, care.", emphasizing her points with jabs of the stick into Luci's side. Glancing again to Denny, "You sure he's out, he's a good faker."
.
[04:36 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "i'm, too sexy for my shit, tosexy for my shirt..." luci mumbled in his dazed state "...so sexy it hurts..."[04:38 PM] Denny crane: "he's hardly slept the last few weeks, he's been full of alcohol and empty of hashish, he's been running five jobs, six if you count pissing off half the town, and, one of those people that realy matters is his wife... bunny was in tears after yesterday's outburst."
[04:41 PM] Rhaeon Thor sighs and gives a final poke to Luci before dropping her stick and leaning back in her chair to stair at the ceilling
[04:42 PM] Victoria VanTassel taking a deep breath bracing herself for the ungodly stench that was about to be released as she opened the door quickly trying to look over what ever remained of the assassins body as quick as she could. She needed any weapons to compair to the current case to help implicate the assassin group in the recent attack
[04:42 PM] Victoria VanTassel focuses on their practiced skill of English Common Law, misses in performing a physical discovery on the environment.
[04:44 PM] >> The stench vile and gagging knocks her into the wall, she can feel bile rising into her throat, the body is a decaying mass of gelatinous goop.[04:43 PM] Heleena Thor rubs her wife's shoulders: Perhaps the old ways would work better, my love. I do believe that a psychiatrist would only entice more tom foolery from our son. You brought your bag of goods I presume"
[04:45 PM] Denny crane: "bag of goods? what are we talking? you're not seriously gonna drill a hole in his skull to let the evil spirits out, are you?" denny went from concerned to curious "how does that actually work?"
[04:46 PM] Heleena Thor removes a book from her dress and sets it down for her wife to read pointing to the inscriptions she made on self defense
[04:48 PM] Victoria VanTassel nearly vomited as she hit the wall the odor was worse than she thought as she nearly was knocked off her feat, even for the potions mistress this was strong as she looked over the seemingly more jelly remains of the assassin
[04:48 PM] Heleena Thor pats her wife and closes the book: I will show the rest later. I have made some amazing inquiries around the town that I think you will find truly interesting love
[04:49 PM] Rhaeon Thor nods and goes back to staring at the ceilling, "Plenty of time then."
[04:53 PM] Heleena Thor looks up to Luci then to Dennis: Is he to remain in this hospital until discharged by a physician or are we able to take him back to the cafe for some rest?"
[04:54 PM] Heleena Thor looks up a bit concerned at the Constable: "Are you alright?"
[04:55 PM] Denny crane: "we can take him back... hell we can do this...." Denny would pour vodca from his hipflask onto luci's chest "...look watch, homing becon, it'll have him automaticly warp home because the enchantment will think he's passed out drunk..." denny grinned "how do you think he does it?"
[04:56 PM] Rhaeon Thor pouts, "Damn waste of good vodka.", narrowing her eyes at Luci, "Neat trick though.
[04:56 PM] Victoria VanTassel burst through the cell door gasping for air as she coughed up a bit of bloody chunks quickly trying to kick the door back closed before the whole room was filled with the awful stench
[04:57 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal would flop about as the wet liquid hit him, his body would blink a few times, like a film projection that was having an error between the reels... then he would blink one more time and warp out, and, be home.
[04:59 PM] Rhaeon Thor giggles and claps, "Definitely a neat trick."
[05:00 PM] Heleena Thor turns her gaze from the woman to the spectable of luci flapping about in vodka then vanishing: That is truly entertaining. Well I should think we should head to the restaurant them to make sure he stays out of trouble
[05:00 PM] Lucifrage MacFanatic: "seriously ladies, we got plenty of alcohol at the resteraunt, and, as the new proposed taxes intend to fuck the low profit margins... we're not gonna sell it ... just to avoid paying the tax, we'll give it away...." dennis looked serious at Hellana "...you know, the're planning on licincing blades too.. but you know, what can they do about other things? they can't make luci regester his razor wit, his horns and his hooves? can they?
[05:00 PM] Denny crane: ""seriously ladies, we got plenty of alcohol at the restaurant, and, as the new proposed taxes intend to fuck the low profit margins... we're not gonna sell it ... just to avoid paying the tax, we'll give it away...." dennis looked serious at Heleena "...you know, the're planning on licensing blades too.. but you know, what can they do about other things? they can't make luci register his razor wit, his horns and his hooves? can they?"
[05:01 PM] Heleena Thor shrugs: Who knows. Honestly, I would not be surprised if they have something to say about my wife's hair balls. :she would follow them out the door
[05:05 PM] Denny crane: "he's upstairs, ...feel free to grab a bottle, but, just don't grab anything with a red cork, thatd for fang-faces..."
[05:06 PM] Heleena Thor makes a face: Not today. I do wish to know more about what happened. How many were injured and just how big of a hole he has thrown himself into
[05:09 PM] Denny crane: "seriously?" Denny grinned "about Thirty egos, a few local laws, every manner available and a half dozen taboos...."

Part four - Of demons and Dennis
[01:02 PM] Denny crane: "oh gods, do NOT get him started on books, in his state, he could go on and on and on for hours, Lucifrage used to be the djinn High librarian before his people lost their lands to their kindred allies who betrayed them..." denny shook his head" ... then I'm gonna have a crying mess to baby sit when he gets to the bit about how those vandals burned the library tower..."
[01:04 PM] Lord Quicksilver Blackheart nods. "I can understand that. That is fine. I usually don't talk about books. I have my head in one most of the tme..
[01:04 PM] Lady Elizabeth Riley curtsies while she managed a faint blush and then waved to Denny and Luci. "See you both a bit later, when I take tea with Miss Bunny." She called back as she headed up the stairs, lifting her skirts gently.
[01:06 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "do tell? what's your favorite? the classics? eastern mysticisim? modern litrature..." luci sat bolt upright "OH i got this beutiful first edition tale of the creation of a flesh golem gone awry, by miss Shelley, its called Frankenstein, ro the modern Prometheus"
[01:06 PM] Lord Quicksilver Blackheart looks closer at the pait. "If I may be too foward to ask. Are you both Djinn by chance? I am sorry if I offend but I am just curious."
[01:08 PM] Lucifrage MacFanatic: [01:08 PM] Lucifrage MacFanatic: /2 he is.... and quite out about it, I'm demon, and ...well I live in his head, so realisticly I am the fleshed figment of his imagination and some powerful magic involving an abys demon's horns... I'm only OUT of his head without taking over his body because... he's sick, and, someone has to keep him out of trouble.
[01:08 PM] Denny crane: "he is.... and quite out about it, I'm demon, and ...well I live in his head, so realisticly I am the fleshed figment of his imagination and some powerful magic involving an abys demon's horns... I'm only OUT of his head without taking over his body because... he's sick, and, someone has to keep him out of trouble."
[01:09 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "i tried t shove him back in my ear, no success, it seams sometimes i even grant wishes for my inner persona's!"
[01:10 PM] Lord Quicksilver Blackheart nods. "Interesting," rubs his hand. "I had my deals with deamons and a certian one too."
[01:14 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "its was like this, this was how he was born, I have other ... figments come to their own life in my head, but with denny, well see, I'm of the djinn tribe of Iblis, but my mother is the dark lady Lilith... so I'd always felt lesser for never having horns, I helped a hellion set up a union for dockside imps, and in return, i woke up to find the smaller ones drilling my head to screw horns in.. now, these horns were once owned by an abysmal lawyer of the azmodian line, who pawned his horns and skipped on bail... so the power of a lawyer, the horns... denny started to take shape and well I lost three months of my life as denny went to law school in Philadelphia!"
[01:15 PM] Denny crane: "be grateful Luci, I'm doing well with your retirement fund, and, I don't know how many times i have had to bail YOU out of jail...." denny shook his head "...yes its true, he's my mother" denny joked "...but I assure you, i am my own man"
[01:17 PM] Lord Quicksilver Blackheart nods. "Well, at lease you look out for him. Mine always want me to do stuff for him and it nearly cost me my life. So count your blessing for it."
[01:20 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "Denny's self sufficiant " luci turned to Denny "show him the hip-flask?"
[01:23 PM] Denny crane: "ah..." denny pulled out a small silver hipflask, it seemed to be covered in demonic glyphs "see, there is a poorly worded garentee on this 'satisfaction garenteed or full refund or replacement will be issued... now they stopped making these canisters after the third one, the indestructo-flask, because in the wrong hands, like mine, a demon who's thirst is never quenched, the dark powers of the third circle of hell distilleries must fill the flask when it becomes empty!" he grins "...i love loopholes!"
[01:24 PM] Valene SilverPard slips inside and peeks around not recognizing anyone there. She takes in the sleepy looking man, the one that smells of rotten eggs and the man with the very large sword on her back before shaking her head and slipping back out
[01:57 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "would take the request letter and magically mail it to the hospital [ to the head of the hospital, desperately seeking a psychiatrist for my client Mr Rofcal, none has been available on subsequent visits this week, please contact me, Dennis Alabaster Crane, Attorney at law]"
[01:57 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal focuses on their legendary skill of Conjuration, critically misses in performing a supernatural assist on themselves.
[01:58 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal painfully mails the letter, shoving it into his ear like a letterbox slot, oi vey!

Part 6 - of oud, and the song of Marcus the pirate
[02:58 PM] Heather Feren quietly enters the cafe, looking around the room curiously.
[03:03 PM] Denny crane: "evening miss... I ...took Luci for a walk, he needs the outside air... i think? not sure, still can't find the guy a shrink"
[03:04 PM] Heather Feren gives a small wave and a smile to Lucifrage before walking over. "Good evening...? Oh..?"
[03:08 PM] Heather Feren nibbles on her lips looking to Luci and then the other man, "What's wrong.... Can he talk about it....?"
[03:09 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "evening " luci would play a slow steady beat on the strings, mostly by instincts "... this .. it is what it is... a simple song of the sands..."
[03:11 PM] Denny crane: "still no psyciatrist... i don't know if its all the built up post election stress, the conflicting wishes of rommel and doctor Mo seemed to have make him hit breaking point, and after that, his wife's distress at his embarresing flip out, realy not good..." denny shook his head "We mailed the hospital for a shrink today, but, its been four days now and i cant find one"
[03:11 PM] Heather Feren blinks at him curiously and peeks at the instrument. "It sounds nice... Have you been playing that for a very long time at all...?"
[03:12 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "about half an hour..." luci grins "its a quiet day..."
[03:13 PM] Denny crane: "he's been playing that for over fifteen years, he learned it in his homeland a midland desert region within morroco, before the bastards chased his family out of there."
[03:14 PM] Heather Feren mulls, "Mmm well don't know what they would do for him... I guess if talking won't help... What about doing something he likes.... Maybe he'll feel better....?" She blinks a bit in surprise, "Oh 15 years...? That's a really long time you must be really good at playing it now...?"
[03:18 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "well depends what you mean, i have mastered a dozen songs, but never learned to compose... so while i play well, I never play any new songs!"
[03:20 PM] Heather Feren "Could always try to make up something on your own.... Might take a while until you found something you like, you can still play the ones you know though and do them really well too... Or maybe try to learn some from someone else too...?"
[03:21 PM] Denny crane: "he needs to learn from someone else, luci's not that kind of artist, he's a facillitator of art" denny explains "thats what a wish is, when a djinn takes someones desires and transforms them into solid reality..."
[03:22 PM] Heather Feren scratches her head mulling. "Sounds a little confusing... So he doesn't like to play instruments on his own for his own enjoyment...?" She peeks at the instrument with a curious look, "Although i'm not too sure what that one is...."
[03:23 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "I like to play, but, i can't learn anything new without a book nor a teacher..."
[03:25 PM] Heather Feren mulls more, "What about that library place or whatever it's called...?"
[03:25 PM] Denny crane: "he's right, in modern terms, he can't create without a muse... a muse is a connection to the ashkiac library, the astral place where all knowlage is stored, botk past, preasant, real and imaginary... as the human holy book the bible says, 'there is nothing new under the sun' and without a muse as in between channer of desire, Luci cannot create wonders..."
[03:26 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "this is the Al Oud... tell me, how many places have books on how to play it you know of, I'm a librarian i know the answer, none."
[03:27 PM] Heather Feren shakes her head, "Didn't know they didn't have any there, just remember a few people telling me that it had a lot of books there, where ever it is.... Al Old?"
[03:30 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "the story is.... the oud was invented by Lamech, the sixth grandson of Adam. The legend tells that the grieving Lamech hung the body of his dead son from a tree. The first oud was inspired by the shape of his son's bleached skeleton" luci grinned "charming huh? well, I guess thats why all the songs sound sad, but in truth, this instrument has been about for 5000 years, so who can tell?"
[03:33 PM] Heather Feren squirms uncomfortably under her dress. "From someone's dead son...? It sounds a little horrible in a way...?" Nibbles onto her lips uncomfortably. "Mmmm well, what about trying to do music from another instrument on it...?"
[03:33 PM] Denny crane: "The oud or عود or even עוד , is a pear-shaped stringed instrument commonly used in North African (Chaabi, Egyptian music, Andalusian...) and Middle Eastern music. The modern oud and the European lute both descend from a common ancestor via diverging paths. The oud is readily distinguished by its lack of frets and smaller neck."
[03:35 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "tell me, can you perform surgery with a butchers cleaver? or cut hay with a dressmaker's scissors? possibly, but its a shame to the object who's skills are so set in their ways..."
[03:35 PM] Heather Feren mulls and cocks her head listening to the man explain the instrument, or try to. She starts scratching at her head partway through his explaination before shaking her head, "What's a african?"
[03:37 PM] Denny crane: "luci is from morocco, a place on the north of earth's large contenent known as africa, some believe mankind's first footprings were made there... it's a beutiful place with diverse animals and climates in the tropical or desert ranges."
[03:38 PM] Heather Feren hmmms at him. "I guess it sounds nice.... Is it very far away from here...? It does sound better than all this smoke filled air and cloudy weather." She frowns unhappily for a few moments.
-------
[03:45 PM] Heather Feren fidgets and squirms uncomfortably watching the ghost floating about and working, edging away from it's direction slightly and more to the two men she is visiting with.
[03:45 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "this lute's kin, is like my life now....decidly pear-shaped "luci joked" as the english saying goes."
[03:51 PM] Heather Feren mulls and looks to Lucifrage, "Why do you say that... And you play the lute very well too.... Shouldn't you be happy about being able to do that very well...?"
[03:52 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal waves, he is indeed the one known, but, he seems concntrating on his song, and his eyelids droop, his whole body seems to be almost too relaxed, he looks to heather "well you know, this does have a trick to it, you want to see an old djinn song I know? it comes with pictures...."
[03:54 PM] Heather Feren blinks at Lucifrage, "A trick with a song....? What sort of trick is it that you have to do to play it...?" She curiously peeks at his lute before looking to the green clothed man with them.
[03:54 PM] Denny crane: "the betrayal of the djiin by the malkavian empire, the palace east of messour that is no more? go on, play it."
[03:56 PM] ParisWest laughs "yes, peri, it is a charity ball i think given by the new mayor, but i have yet to find out the details, i was hoping to find romelle, but i do not know if she still works at the inn..."
[03:56 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "yes denny" luci said "your lawyer mind knows it well" he would dig into his pockets and take some sand and pour a handful at his feet " and so the tale goes..."
[03:57 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal would strum, but as the sand jumped from his feet like sand midges in season, all he had conjured was rainbows, he would strum away anyhow, determined to let the song take shape, he'd ast like the rainbows were intentional.
[03:59 PM] Heather Feren watches intently, making a small noise of surprise at the sand and stares a bit. "Oh wow...."
[03:59 PM] Denny crane shook his head at luci's hesatant start, and waits for the magic to realy start
[04:03 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal would strum, and throw some percussion into the beat... keen to have the magic roll in...
[04:04 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: the pictures would start, but, now fully committed to the magic, luci would begin to bleed from his eyes, the sadness of the song taking a toll on his sick body.
[04:04 PM] Peri curses her lack of memory of names and faces, she really does need to be less self involved"How horrid of me..."lays a gloved hand lightly on his forarm"Well nice to meet you again"Looks towards the curtained window of the cafe"What in blazes in that cacophony of sounds coming from in there?"
[04:06 PM] Denny crane: "oh, thats not good, i told you luci, take it easy on the magic, even small well known cantrips in your state, not good.."
[04:06 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal just nods, his mind on his music as the memories overwhelm him, he'd drop a little sand from one hand and let his magic dance on the sand as he would attempt to make this song visual as well as audible... the light around himself, the sand dunes under the night sky, he stands alone on a tower balcony, a light skinned male dressed as he runs up shouting but no voice is heard,, he would leap down from the tower, fighting with a strange blade in one hand and fire, soundless
he would shout as the others in robes like his in a rainbow of colours would flee the tower base and people would surround him in their black robes, the ones at the front falling to the blade....
[04:09 PM] Denny crane would watch the sand show, familiar with the way luci could mix his magic with the sand, but, mot to concerned in his manner for luci's health, "...he's fine, he's a tough bugger, i assure you, he's had worse.... earlier he had a papercut on his ear from posting a letter for me..."
[04:09 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal the light would blur as the scene changes, Luci is shown fighting a large serpantine humanoid, the creature flees back wounded, and men surround him, he is seen running from the croud, but its not just black robed soldiers now, all sorts of townspeople chase him as well. Some bear torches, others bear farm tools, the images show luci doing all he can to stall the croud, leaving magical walls of flame and toppling date palms... they catch him back to the sea, and fight...
[04:11 PM] Heather Feren stares at the sight of the sand and the magic seemingly almost entranced by all the magic and images being shown, she watches in wonder but still occassionally looks up to Lucifrage in worry, she stops nibbling at her lips but picks at her dress after the other man tries to reassure her.
[04:12 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal a false red light shines, and the croud depart like the mist, a wounded naked luci in shredded rags crawls up the beach, bleeding and wounded, and puts on some found clothing, the beach sand wirls about him, and a pirate walks off to a small boat nearby... and the light fades with the music...
[04:13 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "and that was my last day in my homeland, the kindred of the sand, aligned with the djinn's mortal enemy, the naga, dries of wells... betrayed and exiled."
[04:14 PM] Denny crane: "sit down Lucifrage, if yu wear yourself out, you've only yourself to blame" Denny advised him " you know I love a story as much as anyone, but, thats enough"
[04:15 PM] Lug Deveraux smiles at Peri "You'll understand my language right now, madame: my sister has placed the shop where I had a livingroom" laughs "It's very close to here, up, at the bridge house" points at the bridge. To Paris "That's great, then send her to Clio, he's looking for staff"
[04:15 PM] Heather Feren bites at her lips with an unhappy look to Lucifrage. "You mean.... All that happened to you...?"
[04:17 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "aye..." luci wiped his eyes on a hanky "... spent three months stuck in the form of a vampire pirate... he still gets out on occasion, seems between my foe's blood and the pirate's clothing, as a djinn can take the form of someone if they leave their clothes unfolded, thats how marcus was born."
[04:19 PM] Heather Feren frowns a little to him, "So sorry to hear they did that to you.... Why did all that happen for....? And what do you mean with Marcus being born....?" She looks at him with a confused look.

Part 7 - A riddle, What has two wishes, six horns and two dresses?
[04:22 PM] Patch walked into the cafe, giving a casual signal to Borris for his usual. His eys fell upon Luci and the two he sat with wit a raised brow and a smile, "ah...Mister Rofcal...you look in better spirits today, "he'd greet.
[04:23 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal nods languid
[04:24 PM] Denny crane: "my client is pilled out beyond belief, and, the aquiring of a psyciatrist has been tryingly fruitless..." denny said "... its as well he has imaginary friends to look after him!"
[04:26 PM] Patch taps his chin and eyes the man next to the laid out Luci, "..hmm?...and you are sir?"
[04:26 PM] Heather Feren makes a face at the green clothed man. "I can try to help watch or talk to him if there isn't anyone, he's helped me before too...."
[04:27 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "dennis Alibaster crane , demonic lawyer, barrister and financial advisor " luci mutters " he's from out of my head, rather... he came with the horns... long story" he says slowly."...long story!"
[04:29 PM] Denny crane: "the one, the only, Denny crane!" he cheered for himself, and took out his silver hipflask and downed the contents, then waited a little, shook the magically full flask and took another long drink " I'm the rofcal's live in lawyer... indeed ...sure am, degree from yale unfortunatly"
[04:30 PM] Patch gives a small nod and rubs his chin, waling over to Luci and his exuberant lawyer. "oh my...I didnt' relise it was so bad..."His eyes then led him to the woman in purple wheere he'd give her a polete bow, "and this madame? the nurse?"
[04:31 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "Heather, a friend, met her at the hospital, no, just a friend and a good customer from the restaurant...."
[04:31 PM] Heather Feren peeks at Dennis with a curious look, "Live in lawyer? What's that...?" She cocks her head to the side slightly as she looks at him more closely.
[04:33 PM] Denny crane: "I assure you, lucifrage is not in an inappropriate relationship with this woman" denny crossed his arms "besmirch either of them and I'll sue your pants off, or skirt, as the case may be, the rofcal's have had enough slander from lord Rune, i would not have any more started."
[04:35 PM] Patch sighs and holds his head "Relax relax...my intenetions is not to spread gossip or besmirch anyone....simply to check up on an aquantance." he'd assure the fiery lawyer. "Besides....theres not much to say after the recent incedent...it'd be like throwing a match into a bonfire."
[04:35 PM] Heather Feren blink and looks over to... him? Her eye blinking at the man who just bowed to her. "Oh.... Good evening miss...?" She eyes the ears poking out of his hair after smiling to him.
[04:40 PM] Patch would give Heather an impish smile and wiggle of his claw in greeting as she finally took notice.
[04:40 PM] Denny crane: "well let me tell you..." dennis would take out a runebound book, and another book covered in arabic script "according to chapter seventeen..." he would speak in rough elven, then translate in his american accented english "
One of the greatest laws of the fey involves swearing oaths. If a fey gives their word or swears an oath, then they cannot break it and are bound by it. To break their word (to be foresworn) means that they will be out-cast. Even the rulers of each Court must abide by their oaths." he would open the arabic book (on djinn laws) and read clear, having learned arabic long ago " the duress of a wish, once given is binding"He looked up at patch "now concider if you will, Luci was wished to attend the meeting, and also wished to stay outside the meeting... concider two snakes eating each other tail first? thats what's pushed my client over the edge. there will be court proceedings when he has been cured of his mental distress, I assure you."
[04:41 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "i was hired, and fired, before even sitting in the seat for a day, while doing as ordered..." he uttered, and took a couple of pills "thats unfair dismissal"
[04:42 PM] Heather Feren frowns and looks to Dennis and Lucifrage, "Why'd that happen for...? I don't understand the wishes portion but.... It doesn't sound very good at all with what happened...."
[04:43 PM] Denny crane: "Quiet Luci, you don't have to tell the man anything, thats why you have a lawyer..." denny nodded "... but, luci's right, the word of a sidhe as I pointed out, is a binding contract."
[04:45 PM] Patch watched as Denny pulled out the books and read them, listening to his explanation of arabic law and nodded. "...well...Mister lawyer...consider if you will that the powers that be in this city....don't care for what out dated books and scribbled text from another land declare? Well...that leaves you with a client who fabricates and throws shoes....and your flask." he'd chuckle and wave his hand, "Besides...explaining this to me is pointless...I have no say in waht goes on in this town...I'm merely the prince of My Queen...though I doubt others would care anymore than I do..."
[04:53 PM] Heather Feren looks between them as they talk, her hands fidgetting with each other and her skirt. "I don't really know.... But..." She blinks in surprise at the dressed man and cocks her head, "Prince....? Don't you mean princess miss...?" She looks at him with some confusion before looking back to Dennis, "Not really sure about what laws they have here at all myself..."
[04:54 PM] Denny crane: "thats why I'm a lawyer and your.." dennis was well drunk now "... a pretty prince in a post modern kilt, else more... i'd be the last one to judge, I live in HIS head..." he point's to luci "...only thanks to his illness I've had to move out, and I can tell you, its not the nicest of places at the best of times, his inner circus' gone up the spout of a tornado!" denny shrugged "but as i said, thats in the future, for the now, getting gingerbread man here a shrink, and keeping him relaxed... aye, its my job while his wife's not talking to him.. what a mess!"
[04:55 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "prince patch" luci corrected the women "don't let the dress fool you, my lilim side of the family, the men oft wear the skirts well" Luci listened to denny and nodded slow "the law is the law.." luci shook his head, then felt the pills kick in hard and full body flopped out, talking slower " A promise is a promise, and to both the fae and the djinn.. ones word is one's power.." he would look about, his eyes widening
"...OH double rainbows! .... "
He looked to patch "Heh... wow, how'd you train those butterflys to circle you in formation? sheesh, you are a powerful prince!"[04:59 PM] Heather Feren blushes red in her cheeks looking to Patch, "O-oh! S-sorry sir..." She squirms and fidgets about uncomfortably trying to avoid looking to Patch as she glances about the room, settling onto Lucifrage of his descriptions, "Mmmm... Lucifrage.... Are you alright...?"
[05:00 PM] Patch nods slowly and sighs, first looking to the woman with a smile, "Angels are often 'born' with either neither gender...or both...some of us grow out of it and choose which to look more like...I guess I didn't make my choice soon enough..." he'd chuckle before looking over at the two. "and the point remains that your client has done a brilliant job of outcasting himself. Were he to have...called you forth without the distruption...well I'd say you'd have a chance but now." he'd shake his head and then nod, "by the way...how is Miss Bunny doing?"
[05:01 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal remained silent, only clamping up filler, his distress at her mention deeply obvious. He was a mess and most distressed still.
[05:04 PM] Denny crane: "my client was caused to collapse under the strain of the wishes of two fae, he's not alright, he needs a psyciatrist soon else the dammage done to him could be irreperable, i have him sedated, but thats not a cure, thats a delay of further dammage, this city's hospital seems to not have any shrinks they can send" denny looked concerned for luci "oh gods, you mentioned his wife, now look what you've done ... " he smiled weakly "please don't mention his wife... she too is my client, and, most upset with what has befallen Luci, although, much may be also attributed to him working five jobs and the fact he's been unable to aquire his...medicine..as of yet."
[05:06 PM] Patch shaks his head and sighs with a wave of his hand. "Very well....hopefully next time we do speak it wont' be with him drugged to the land of rainbows...or in restraints either..." he'd whisper right, "until next time thne... eh'd give a small bow and turn toward the door.
[05:07 PM] Denny crane: "indeed" denny looked to luci "Oh thats right you DO have a straight jacket... good idea!"
[05:07 PM] Heather Feren gives a small wave to Patch before returning to look to the two men sitting, her face frowning and looking worried to them both, "Is there really only help for him from the hospital...? We could try going there to look maybe...?"
[05:08 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal passed out, sliding his lute to the sofa, dribbling slightly
[05:09 PM] Heather Feren blinks in surprise to Lucifrage, picking at her hands. "Mmmm should we try taking him somewhere where he can sleep maybe...? Wouldn't be good for him to be staying here for a night?"
[05:10 PM] Denny crane: "I sat with there all day four days ago, none came... I did however meet his mothers...they were a charming bunch... harddrinkers, exiled mercenary royals form altheria, they gave him a lot of mercenary work when they adopted him. before them... luci was..." denny snickered ".... ore like prince patch, actually, a pampered powder puff of a man!"
[05:13 PM] Heather Feren blinks and stares at the sleeping Lucifrage, after a few moments she starts giggling and trying to cover her face as she tries to stop herself at something he said apparently.
[05:14 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal mumbles in his sleep "I'm not all right... i assure you, i am half left" and then he wakes , or what passes for it in his state, sitting up a little " Oh, where'd patch go?"

Part 8 - Out with the Lawyer, in with the Priestess
[16:34] Lucifrage Rofcal: "Jesus sister, why for you run so fast? how the hell am I supposed to keep up?"
[16:36] Sister Mary HHG: "Luci..." sister mary of the holy hand grenade turned about in her robes "...do not be blaspheming at me... The bahari faith we serve, it does not take kindly to carpenters of dubious historical actuality..." she looked him over ".. we better get you fixed soon... I don't like seeing you doped up to the eyeballs."
[16:40] Lucifrage Rofcal: "i still don't see why you got let out to mind me instead of denny" luci sighed " I mean, he never made me run up hils and eat boiled rice and cellery, what the hell is up with that shit?" luci would miss dennis, knowing sister mary's reign on him would be harsh, unlike dennys 'do what you like as long as i don't have to chase you' attitude "seriously, I'm on pills and you make me run, who does that!"
[04:47 PM] Sister Mary HHG: "Oh fuck this...." sister mary would grab luci by the robe, and, drah him closer, she could see bunny, and was not letting one sick genie get in the way of her preffered company. "Bunny alert, you'd do best to shut it, you know, better to be quiet and thought a fool than to open your mouth and prove it, aye?"
...
[04:48 PM] Bunny looked up to see Sister Mary and walked over to silently slip her arms around her and offer her a kiss "I'm so glad to see you." she said quietly then swayed from hoof to hoof.
[04:47 PM] Sister Mary HHG: "Oh fuck this...." sister mary would grab luci by the robe, and, drah him closer, she could see bunny, and was not letting one sick genie get in the way of her preffered company. "Bunny alert, you'd do best to shut it, you know, better to be quiet and thought a fool than to open your mouth and prove it, aye?"
[04:48 PM] Bunny looked up to see Sister Mary and walked over to silently slip her arms around her and offer her a kiss "I'm so glad to see you." she said quietly then swayed from hoof to hoof.
[04:49 PM] Lug Deveraux smiles charming, as always, a dark shine changes softly the way he looks, but his smile keeps as a trademark, maybe more hieratic, or simply more tired... difficult to know "Godd to hear that, madame, he looked really out of control" tilts his head "poor man" Rubs his eyes in an unintentional gesture
[04:50 PM] Cinder " you dont have to...if you would rather get food that is fine " shrugs watching him with his hand a moment but says nothing more for the time being
[04:54 PM] Sister Mary HHG leaps in for the hug, and looks back to luci with a cheeky 'boys are stupid' look. "he's been no trouble, i been walking him like a husky dog in training, he's got no energy to be trouble..." she would reach one hand and poke luci in the belly "I don't know what Dennis was doing, but Luci actuallu gained about twenty poinds over his usual, i won't have the temple of the body cluttered..." she would run her hands over bunny's uniform "Oh, so this is how you stay fit? roughing up ruffians! I'm not surprised love.
[04:55 PM] Bastion Steele: "That is not what i said. If you are available to talk...then by all means, we should get to it then."
[04:56 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "I am right here..." he muttered, still tired from his long running, as the women stood before him, he concidered sitting down, but knew this might inspire more exercise from the fitness mad bahari sister "... can we go eat something soon?" he asked quiet, then added "something healthy yeah, some carrots or some cinnamon bark?"
[04:57 PM] Cinder " i know thats not what you said....you had planned to go and get food ....i didnt want to interrupt you"
[04:58 PM] Lug Deveraux nods at Luci, then looks at Cinder and Baston both, and lows his sigh, smiling softly
[04:59 PM] Bunny smiled softly at the sister and snickered to herself. She shrugs "I have no idea what Denny was doing. Spoiling him for the most part probably. Dont know I been keeping to myself for the most part." she looked up between cinder and Bastion "He doesn't enjoy crowds. I'll never get him there anyway. You may as well go have your talk with him." she looked defeated. She'd wanted to talk to him all day well all week really but it's always been a clusterfuck. She smiled at Bastion a moment "It was good to see you if only for a few moments."
[04:59 PM] Bastion Steele will try and pull away from Bunny. His favors his right hand, frowing. 'Can we not argue over minor things, Cinder. You are here now, as am I. I can eat later.' He tries to wring out his hand and winces. 'Im sorry Bunny..another short visit, but perhaps later I will return to Cosa nostra.' Oh hello Luci...it is wonderful to see you out and about. I stopped over for a visit the other evening if you remember.' he says eyeing the Djinn carefully
[05:01 PM] Sister Mary HHG: "luci, stop lolligagging, drop and give me one hundred... I can still see your belly!"
[05:01 PM] Lug Deveraux "mesdames, monsieur, I'm sure you can excuseme" nods politely and turns to his right, going away
[05:02 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal drps and starts working his arms out in press up form, he was relieved because his legs were getting a break[05:03 PM] Bunny coughed and chuckled suddenly as she realized that even when she's alone she's still with a crowd. She nods at Bastion as he moves away. "I will hope to see you later" she wasn't holding her breath. She watched as the sister was strict with him "I don't know why I didn't insist on her earlier to watch him."
[05:04 PM] Bastion Steele looks back over to Bunny, peering at her. He tries to analyze the tone of her voice along with her body language.
[05:04 PM] Cinder nods to lug as he left watching what was going on with luci slightly before turning to bastion." you can pick the place to go talk...i dont mind"
[05:06 PM] Bunny was mostly just tired and the mask was slipping. Her voice was still ever affectionate but with a slight tone of disappointment in general not towards any one person or thing really. Her body language was more that of someone who was losing hope than anything.
[05:06 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal was humming the tune to "rocky" channeling the meme dangerously through the ages, but as they say, there is nothing new under the sun, so all songs must have been hummed before. His arms would burn, but ... it would be worse if he stopped right now, so he'd keep on moving.
[05:07 PM] Bastion Steele tucks his right hand to his waist and moves towards Cinder. 'Lets go to the park..' he begins. 'I am afaid I am not feeling well and may have to visit the hospital before taking the long journey back to the Meadows.
[05:08 PM] Cinder nods "alright then..." turned and started to make her way there now
[05:08 PM] Bunny 's eyes looked worried as Bastion said he wasn't feeling well, then her eyes narrowed for a moment. She was mixed with worry and anger. She then looked toward Mary "Shouldnt he be doing sit ups if you're worried about his belly?"
[05:09 PM] Sister Mary HHG: "Bunny" Sister spoke quietly " you want, we can get one of those rickshaw's and ger luci to pull us about town?" she grinned, hoping the smile might be contagous " seriously, you need to take a load off, Luci might be a little shell shocked in the head, but, there's nothing wrong with letting him do the running around for us... right? "...and thats not how it works, djinn only carry weight on their belly and ass, its a physiological thing... and something he should not be doing until he hits 900"
[05:11 PM] Lug Deveraux looks at Luci and frowns "trying to get in shape?"
[05:11 PM] Bunny noded at Mary, she agreed she needed to take a load off. She was stressed and being torn apart from the soul outward. She shook her head "Nah, nothing wrong with that.... he's pretty much just a pack animal anyway when on those tranquilizers." she sighed deeply. Not really enjoying the sight of him like that. Bunny shook some, shaking her clothes out and they began to change ever so slowly.
[05:15 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "...Again, I'm still here.." he mumbled, he was getting rather disturbed that now he was quieter, calmer and all, he was now becoming the furniture. " You know, I could realy go a good book, cos that exercises the mind, right? " he would try on, he'd get up after his 100 push ups and try and look keen despite himself. "another day another... um day... I guess?"
[05:18 PM] Bunny looked up at Luci "Are you in there really?" she wasn't so sure. "C'mon. Let's go home yeah?" she shook her head "I need a break..."
[05:19 PM] Sister Mary HHG: "race you" sister mary ran off ahead" woo hoo!"
...
[05:20 PM] Bunny blinks "You cheated!"
.
[05:20 PM] Sister Mary HHG not the only one..." she points to the street outside "...look at that[05:21 PM] Bunny looked around, there was food and filth all over the floor and facepalms having forgotten all about the mess. She walks over to the love seat and collapses exhausted and moody.
[05:22 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal would jump off the back of the cab, and straighten himself up outside the window before walking into the restaurant, and look up, no idea he'd been watched the whole time.
[05:25 PM] Bunny shook her head, she wasn't surprised at all. She stuck her arms out for both of them to come over.
[05:26 PM] Sister Mary HHG: "I think denny's got it all wrong..." sister spoke, looking over luci "now i know you're the mind doctor, and i am just a woman of faith and soul, so, I want to talk to you about this, denny's been looking for a shrink, now you and I know you're not the only shrink in town, so i figure it's worse than we thought, the other shrink's are too scared to touch him! even after denny was assured by Dr Sebastian he'd get his best onto the problem... so I'm gonna have to do it myself..." she would race to the sofa , but let luci have the sat, he was buggered. "... I'm gonna need to strip his mind down to the basics..."
[05:36 PM] Bunny looked at the sister and shook her head "Hmm... I dunno love. Youre more a liability than I am..."
[05:38 PM] Sister Mary HHG: "honest, i'm at more risk than you are, what if we fix him and myself, or marcus or denny dies in the process? concider that, i have, and, its a risk I'll take..."

Part 9 - of pirates, lawyers and dubious trading investments (an interlude)
[02:21 PM] Marcus Malk: "Gar... what are you doung out here?" marcus looked at himself "we're only supposed to see each other in there..." he would pinch himself " ...somethings decidedly fishy"
[02:24 PM] Denny Crane: "Oh its fishy alright, the mayor's lost the plot, the sister's got Luci dropped off the pills I reccomended and on some health kick, until he comes to some sort of sanity, i guess we may as well ..." Denny looked at marcus"...we've never been drinking together, have we?"
[02:26 PM] Marcus Malk: "Gar, no we haven't..." Marcus said, putting his rivalry aside "... Gar, no we haven't." he shrugged "we also have no money either... but thats OK, I saw a chest, so we can go make a withdrawl"
[02:27 PM] Denny Crane: "this can only end badly, but, what the hell, I'm sober, I'll take any options."
[02:29 PM] Marcus Malk would lead denny to vaporium, where he'd seen the chest....
-------------------------
[02:37 PM] Denny Crane: "so you're telling me" Denny spoke "this Chest is just sitting here, and you never took it before?" denny seemed surprised "... I have a bad feeling about this"
[02:37 PM] Marcus Malk: "Gar, its an unburied treasure ches what could go wrong?"
[02:38 PM] Old Chest opens with a creak. As your eyes fall upon some yellowish metal, the rotten boards give way, plunging the chest of treasure down into the depths of the cold grimy waters. But all is not lost, for a large guardian of the treasure breaks the surface of the water. In it's hand you notice the same goldish gleam you saw inside the chest. The creature begins to swirl in a snakelike manner, holding its treasure in protection.
[02:38 PM] Denny Crane: "ah, how about that?" denny would run behind a tree "you swash, I buckle!"
(Denny hides behind a tree,
firing on the beast with his rather illegal derringer he has hidden in his underpants...
Meanwhile Marcus the pirate, to his credit, saves now to attack something that for once.
It is not a street lamp he thinks is a sea serpent or a train he thinks is a behemoth.
It is, for once, a genuine monster... and Gar, he loves it, but has no idea how dangerous it is ...)[02:41 PM] Abyssal Grip falls dead, leaving only the lifeless meat and the treasure, once held firmly in its grasp, falls with a clunk to the floor.
[02:41 PM] Treasure is picked up and looted by Marcus Malk[02:42 PM] Old Chest is set down by a large hand coming up from the depths. The chest lays there as the hand slinks down back into a safe hiding place.
[02:42 PM] Denny Crane: "well thats just dandy, " denny spoke after shooting at the abysmal grip from behind a tree " so, we got money now?"
[02:43 PM] Marcus Malk: "Gar, we got money, money beyond your wildest drinking night dreams... we'll be off now, least you want to be punching th' undead hookers?"
[02:43 PM] Denny Crane: "no... I had enough of that in los Angeles... I think I'll pass"
[02:44 PM] Marcus Malk: "gar, then we be off...."
-----------------
[02:51 PM] Marcus Malk "Oh boris?" Marcus beconed "gimme yer best, we be loaded!"
[02:52 PM] Denny Crane: "ha! knew you'd say that...Oh lordy, we been trapped in the same head far too long..." denny looked at their funds "...its a few good drinks, sure"
[02:56 PM] Borris turns his gaze to Marcus Malk as he floats over, "Yes? How may I be of service?"
[02:56 PM] Marcus Malk: "Gar, A drink, Borris."
[02:56 PM] Borris pauses for a moment to collect the menu in his mind, "Well we have a... 'pleasant' selection of hot drinks, and some fine selections from the bar.Or for those with more ...discriminating tastes, we have more sanguine options."
[02:56 PM] Marcus Malk: "gar, yer best me said..."
[02:56 PM] Borris looks at the pirate vampire.
"
[02:57 PM] Marcus Malk: "The Human blood."[02:57 PM] Borris floats about a bit before asking, "Is there anything else I can get you?"
[02:57 PM] Marcus Malk: "Gar! me all good. Thanks, Borris."[02:57 PM] Borris turns his gaze to Denny Crane as he floats over, "Yes? How may I be of service?"
[02:57 PM] Denny Crane: "A drink, Borris."
[02:57 PM] Borris pauses for a moment to collect the menu in his mind, "Well we have a... 'pleasant' selection of hot drinks, and some fine selections from the bar."
[02:57 PM] Denny Crane: "From the bar, please, like my....um, collections agent here, the best"
[02:58 PM] Denny Crane: "The Absinthe."[02:58 PM] Borris floats about a bit before asking, "Is there anything else I can get you?"
[02:59 PM] Denny Crane: "yes, how about an appointment with the head magestrate, at some point, I gotta get my american law diploma naturalised, so to speak"[03:00 PM] Marcus Malk: "Gar? yer paperwork needs paperwork? whatever next?"
[03:01 PM] Denny Crane: "oh yes, this advice coming from a pirate who can't read a ship's sea map.... clearly you are the expert on paperwork"
[03:09 PM] Marcus Malk looks up from his bloody glass "tell me, mister snart arse lawyer, what you think you can do for an old pirate sick of burryin' his treasure? how can me double it...and most important, how me stop fergett'n where me bury it?"
[03:12 PM] Denny Crane: "for you?" denny thought "I would not reccomend the importing, I have a hot tip from something MR Rofcal mentioned in passing, could be for sure, could be wild conjecture, I know he thinks the mayor's taken his advice on the matter, the proof is to be seen however. It seems the mayor wants to start taxing imports, so, importing, and the luxuries such as tobacco and alcohol, in this climate, not advisable... art however, thats one industry that's always appreciatining" he looked at marcus "i don't mean people like it lots, silly, I mean the value of a good work steadily rises..."
[03:14 PM] Marcus Malk: "Gar.." Marcus thought hard "and 'ow much a good work o' art cost, fer me to break into the business? who me gotta rob to get something fancy?" he joked "Gar, seriously , how much money we talking?"
[03:17 PM] Denny Crane: "well...." Denny grinned " for five hundred and seventy five gold, plus an extra fifty seven for buyers and handiling fees, we can get this portrait of dorian grey... how flush are you?"
[03:22 PM] Marcus Malk can dig up three safe cache boxes in this city and buy three of them sir" he said "uh, that's not right is it? the painting's supposed to be origin'l, right?"
[03:23 PM] Denny Crane: "make it an even twelve hundred and I can get you three masterworks, within a year, they'll be worth three thousand... and, you and I got lots of time to incrementally grow these investments, You know what I mean, right? nothing but time."
[03:29 PM] Denny Crane: so you think we can get ten of these art works then?
[03:30 PM] Marcus Malk: oh gar, hell yes, brother of the head, but, i'll have to take a boat offshore, i have some caches in the Seychelles
[03:37 PM] Denny Crane: good good, hate to think everyone's in on us, what I'm doing techniclly is known as insider trading, I have a hint of the upcoming taxables from what Lucifrage has discussed with the mayor, so, I'm abusing it before they tax the trading of comodities
[03:38 PM] Marcus Malk: "insider trading? gar, aint that double illegal, i mean, I know its unethical but all in power do it. But for us to get involved, we'd be robbing the rich, big time, and if there is one thing makes a crime stand out, it's robbing the rich!"
[03:42 PM] Denny Crane would start to sing "you got your lawyer... i got mine" he grinned "well you know how it is, with Luci out of commission, we better just make the most of our freedom... drink up jim!
[03:43 PM] Marcus Malk: "Gar, ye be telling me, ye be telling me, I'm gonna go set sail and gather me funds, I'll get someone else to read me map, me not THAT stupid!"
[03:48 PM] Denny Crane would get the both of them another round of drinks, then, help marcus stagger home on his wooden leg.
[03:49 PM] Marcus Malk: "friggin' in the riggin' friggin' in the riggin'...." marcus sung "friggin' in the riggin' cos there's fuck all else to do!"

Part 10 - the fourth Law of Wishes.
Djinn tradition has always stated three rules of wishes...
~1 One may not use a wish to wish for more wishes.~
~2 One may not wish for death by magic,
Death via wish must be by the hand or blade.~~3 One may not wish to affect the mind or actions of the unwilling by magic.~
-----------
[04:14 PM] Bunny waves at Denny "Hey Denny" she was then surprised by Luci's sudden pounce "Ooh! Well that's good. It's not so good for you to be all... bogged down with that. Though I don't think healthy living alone can do it, it's a good start that's for sure." she looked back surprised again to see the sister standing where Denny had been "Hey beautiful." she let a quick ghost of a smile sweep her face.
[04:14 PM] Sister Mary HHG: "hey love... I'm gonna clean his system out, then, well" she shook her had"...I've no option but to work on him myself, and...those boys marcus and Denny went out drinking, who knows when they'll be back? "she would almost shove luci out of the way going for her hug" he's doing fine, the herbal pills got no withdrawls admittedly"
[04:18 PM] Bunny hugged the sister tightly and gave her a soft kiss on her neck "Dear, just be careful. I wont be sacrificing any of you understand?" remember what she'd said yesterday about possibly losing one of them. "I must say I don't quite approve of the idea. Not that I don't think you'll do a good job but it's highly irregular for one of somone's split personalities to do their psychological treatment."
[04:21 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "well, Denny had mailed and visited the hospital repeatedly, they been as much help as a eunich at a ball size contest..." luci said "Dr sebastian even reccomended me to Dr Foxtrotter and made to contact her, no help at all" luci shook his head "terrible thing this city's healthcare system, when you can't find a doctor of the mind and the town's full of crazies."
[04:24 PM] Sister Mary HHG: "it's true, but hell, what do they know, I done cracked a big pile of books, it can't be that hard ..." of course, The sister had often read a few books on steamboat repair or train mechanics and made her own repairs of such things, this was her first person she'd fix "...but I need him lucid, i don't care if I have to chain him to the bed at nights, i want him clean before i start on him."
[04:28 PM] Bunny nods some "Hmmm... I dunno... I started learning to fix minds at the academy. Took me over a hundred years to master it but then again I had to study many creature's psyches and you would only need to deal into one." she admitted "And it's not that they don't have any good therapists in this town it's that the patient is related to the only decent one." looks to Sister "and you're no more unrelated than he is." shakes her head "Yes, I agree. He needs to be off the drugs first"
[04:31 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "tomorrow is when we start" Luci said " We have a plan, I already feel wide awake and calm, but, i have not had anything set me off around sister mary of the holy hand grenade, Unlike Denny she seems to ward off trouble ... but hell" luci grins "she does take after my mothers, i suspect she could probabaly outbrawl me if push come to shove... so, who'd realy bring it?"
[04:33 PM] Sister Mary HHG: "speaking of mothers, thats what i think this all lies with, between his real parents abandoning him as a child, his being kept as a wizard's familiar,, being kept as the kindred's book boy until..." Sister shook her head " he has issues, he needs to find a happy medium between total softy and complete chaos"
[04:38 PM] Bunny sighed deeply and shook her head some. It was obvious she had some theories of her own but if she did she wasn't sharing them. She just stared at the sister's tits awhile seeming deep in thought and not quite ready to say anything at all.
[04:41 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal would look at the sister, he was to tired from calesthetics to realy understand fully what she said, but nodded enthusiasticly " Yep, thats right" he said, nodding and agreeing with the sister, out of total trust.
[04:43 PM] Sister Mary HHG: "i also cut the red meat out of his diet for now, seems that my set him off, and even..." she spoke some words luci would cringe at "...no bacon, I even had to take something Rhae gave him, a jar of pickled ears! those two are such a hoot!"
[04:47 PM] Bunny still kept her eyes trained on the sister's tits. She was rubbing her chin now and looked as if she may grumble but still kept it all inside. She finally looked up to the sister's eyes and gave a huff of a laugh at her last comment "Yes, those to are... incredible in all the best of ways." she ran her fingers through her hair "Sister..." she looked to Luci then back to her "I just don't know... I'd love for things to be so simple but I have a hard time believing they will be."
[04:53 PM] Sister Mary HHG: "with him..." she rolled her eyes "...things will never be simple, I'm just gonna have to look at the root of his temper and give him some coping skills, you know, call a lawyer, walk away, go buy a round of drinks for all involved... something, he'll still be his old self when I'm done, but, he won't be flying off the handle."
[04:54 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "thats all we can ask, I don't want to be a pilled out vegtable anymore... sheesh, its just...no fun." he shook his head "good news, Mr Sparrow came in on the has dleivery, but, even that we're being careful with."
[05:00 PM] Bunny shrugged some "Yeah, I mean... it's one thing to slaughter someone's ego with his brilliant mind but when he melts down and acts like a complete child in front of all of our peers and neighbors... Honestly, I've only ventured out of the house once since then and I kept my constables cap pulled down as much as I could." she shook her head. "Honestly... don't know if I can bear showing my face out in public again like I used to. I've thought about just regenerating." she pinched the bridge of her nose thinking hard. She still hadnt completely changed her mind on regenerating. It could be that she was just imagining the damage was so great but she doubted it. The customers havent been as many as they used to and people keep asking her why she is putting up with him. She then nodded in agreement "Yeah, I don't think any of us want to see you so sedated."
[05:04 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "its like usual..." luci offered hopefully "...you wait until another scandal hits the social scene and they'll forget" he nodded, not so sure of himself, but, hopeful. "...With luck, the raft of new taxes aught to take me out of the spotlight?"
[05:08 PM] Sister Mary HHG: "one can only hope..." the sister would press against bunny "...and why should YOU have to be worried about him? some people in town have worse partners with genuine problems, Luci's heart has always been in the right place, well, both of them... but you know this. Honestly, I don't like his reaction, but I can see why his confusion on the day made all his pent up stress come out. He seems to have been under duress of conflicting wishes, according to what Denny told me. I don't know how that works, but, who knows, we could have a herefore unknown fourth rule of wishes?"
[05:15 PM] Bunny sighs some and nodded "Yeahhhhh.... well... who knows. We've been here like what, a couple of months and only one big scandal happened?" She looked at sister Mary "I'm just tired of having to start over that why I worry." she sighed "and see that worried me even more. That's complete bullshit. Luci could have easily walked into the meeting when I did because the Mayor was there. NO ONE made a wish. NO ONE!" she almost shouted. "Except me.... and it wasn't conflicting. I'm totally convinced he just wanted attention and to throw his hissy fit. It had nothing to do with wishes or any other bullshit excuse he makes up and if his excuses bleed over to Denny then they can bleed over to you, perhaps not quite as easily given then wonderful minded lady you are but it CAN happen. That's why it worries me. I mean, we may as well have Time do the therapy now that I think about it. It's the only one who isn't technically related in the convoluted situation of siblings and husbands and wives...."
[05:22 PM] Sister Mary HHG: "Oh tell me about it..." The sister looked at Luci with a supportive look of disgust "whatever Denny believes, even if its relevent, Luci, you should have just stayed home when you left the first time when you could feel the frustration building up in the first place..." she would step in and make to hold Bunny close "... I understand, he went too far, but, I have faith things will come right... or we can do what Denny suggested while he's passed out, we could chain luci to a bedpost and run off together without him?" she would poke her tongue out at luci over bunny's shoulder "... that'd give him something worth being well upset about, you don't want that, do you Lucifrage? "she'd press bunny close "we can make a start on him if you like, but, I'd rather wait till tomorrow when his heads all clear of valium."
[05:25 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal would watch them talk about him, mostly like he was not there "I am still in the same room here!" he flailed his arms for a little " ..well from what I understand I was wished to come to the meeting by the mayor, and wished to stay outside the meeting by the vice mayor... after that it's a bit of a blur... I know, I fucked up, but with therapy I hope i can ammend things, that, and denny's drafted a fourth law of wishes...
~Rule 4 a second wish may not countermand a first wish~
...if anything, that'll prevent at least that conflict of magics coming up."
[05:31 PM] Bunny raised a hand up and shook her head "No, we shouldn't start now. I'm half drunk and and still run down." she then let her raised hand fall but on the sister's chest. "It's..." she was interrupted by Luci's flailing arms and tried not to laugh which wasn't so hard because she was so tired. She shook her head "No... asking you or telling you or inviting you or so on... I mean no one stood there and said "Dear little psycho genie I wish you to blah blah blah?" shook her head "You got the same invitation I did and furthermore we are free Djinn. Nothing says we HAVE to grant a wish. NOTHING." sighs deeply "We have free will just like any human... we are not slaves and if we had to grant every wish or we had to do anything anyone asked or invited us into we would be. Like I said. Excuses." shook her head.
[05:37 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "not excuses, explainations, it explains it but in no what excuses it" luci said "... it's indeed something else I have a problem with, as you both have pointed out, I indeed carry words too heavy, too literal... it's something I need to realy work in. " luci looked shame faced. I'm trying to find workable solutions, not recriminations, I've had the full ramifications of my actions explained by everyone, I've even had the mother's offer to put my head through a wall for hurting your feelings and honour... trust me, I know the depth of the dung these hooves are in... and frankkly, when i dwell on it, I almost wish I was back on the pills."
[05:40 PM] Sister Mary HHG: "Luci, you are NOT going back on the pills, you are in deep dung, and you..." she would cling to bunny close and whisper "Dammit, I can see why denny would rather go drinking with Marcus, whom ...well lets face it, normally they can't stand each other" The sister pulled bunny in closer "... enough of him, I'm worried about you.... honestly. never mind the genie... I hear luci's not the only asshole in town, so, like I said, we give it time, and, we give you love."
[17:50] Bunny shakes her head "Nah, I'm not buying it as an explanation. It's an excuse 'Oh I'm a Djinn they wished something conflicting of course I was going to have a melt down and throw my shoe at the door and swear and disrupt the meeting...' Nope, not buying it in the least. Come in or stay out or leave. Whatever, that's fine. Your behavior has nothing to do with any wishes. Did you hear anyone WISH for you to behave like that or even ask you to? No. Not at all... That was all you. It explains nothing." She said sternly holding her ground. She reasoned she had been too willing to let him get away with any and everything he wanted in the past and now needed some back bone herself.
She hugged the sister and a tear full on her shoulder material. She didn't know what to say when she said she was worried about her. Bastion seems to be the only one who acts like she deserves to be taken care of. Her energy and nerves spent so much on taking care of others at least 14 others just in their marriage alone and then every customer or citizen with a legal or medical issue falls on her. She sighed "I am sick of this little rock."
She had thought about just flying through the vortex and spending a few months traveling and making it hope in time for tea. Earth was a grim dirty ghetto in her mind and couldnt understand anyone coming her except for novelty if they had the choice.[06:06 PM] Sister Mary HHG: "with luck it won't come to that..." she held bunny close still "...with luck, no garentees of anything, you know me, I know the life worth living is a handfull of risks.. and you risk too much. chaos you bring in never heads nor tails, it's always the edge for you." she would hold bunny close as she could, empathising with the beloved Bunny. She wanted luci better, but, she wanted Bunny happy more " I, like your wife, don't know what to say about your shit Lucifrage."
[06:07 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "I love you, and I'm sorry things got out of hand... Truely I am most regretful of all the outcomes of that day" he shrugged. there seemed nothing more he could say on the matters of the past, but what he could do for the future "there is hope for myself, If you still decide I'm not worth the trouble of pitchforks and torches, I'll understand.." Luci was terrible at lying, as evidanced by the dark black slow moving tears running down his face "... I'll miss you like half my body's been sawn of, But, I've only brought this on myself. I have to look to myself for something redeeming, and, I am having many problems getting there, but... It's my job to come right and make you happy, if you can only be happy with out me, then it's my just wages of sin, But I assure you, losing someone I love deeply and have become so close to, its so not my wish... I would never desire that."
[06:16 PM] Bunny sometimes just wanted to scream she then looked up as a pages blew in under the door, walking to pick them up she walked back and offered to Luci as she read a copy as well. She said nothing, the look on her face after reading the title said everything.
[06:18 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal would read the papers, and his face would go pale "Oh gods, what have i done i should be punished so... not ... a .. single... return... carrage..." he would, however thinking it a fine punishment, sit and have the sentance carried out until his eyes near bled, least, in his imagination they bled "...oh the horrors..."
[06:20 PM] Sister Mary HHG: "oh will you look at his face..." the sister spoke, giggling "now if we could get the sprite to come cook him that wallpaper glue paste macaronni cheese and the egg shell tea, this moment would be perfect"

Part 11 paradise lost
"It is one thing to forgive the world, this is difficult but achievable through faith,
... It is however an oft impossible dream that the world however will return the favor"[15:17] Bunny looked at Luci and sister Mary as she began to undress and pull out her new dress. "Ah... we have to talk about some stuff...."
[15:19] Sister Mary HHG: "we do?" she shrugged " if its about using your perfume, I'm sorry, it's realy nice stuff..." she was not used to being out in the open for such long times "talk away wonderful..."
[15:20] Lucifrage Rofcal sat down smiling "i got to sit in a hospital waiting room in dead silence... again this week... trust me , I could do with the noise in my head, it's ratherempty since the boys never came back after going out drinking yesterday"
[15:22] Bunny shakes her head at Sister Mary "Nah, you can use whatever you like of mine." she looked up and sighed "I am obviously really stressed out. I have so many people to take care of that I've been neglecting myself. I need a space to do my own thing and just... exist. Patch has been kind enough to offer me the use of his home when ever I like... I just wanted to let you know...."
[15:28] Lucifrage Rofcal: "you're leaving?" luci would look paniced, looking between the sister and Bunny about five times each like he's in double take mode , then clasp his thumbs to his fingertips and start breathing deep and slow to calm himself and chanting "acceptance of what is for what it is, pain is caused by craving and aversion..."
[15:34] Bunny shook her head at him "No... not quite hun, please calm down it's not all like that... I'm not leaving per-say, more like... expanding where I spend my time. I'll still be around but... I need a place to go. A place to be where there's not always someone clambering to get something from me. I need some freedom or I'm just simply going to suffocate. I need somewhere I suppose... where I can hide from the customers and the police call and you know just relax. So there's not always something or someone trying to get up my ass about shit all the time. I just cant... I can't take it... "
[15:39] Sister Mary HHG: "We understand" she would give luci a glare, then relax as he started to use the techniques "seriously I'm making some headway with him, look, by now he'd be bawling his eyes out or stabbing someone..." she nodded "see, we are making some progress."
[15:44] Bunny nods at the sister in agreement "I see that dear... I'm not saying there hasnt been progressed or even that it's all his fault. It's not even an issue with him anymore at this point it's purely and issue with me... I'm the one now whose loosing it. I need some breathing room..." tapped her bottom lip "Infact I may even just need some room to be completely free for a little bit... You know... I'm so stiffled it's like ever binding feels like it's strangling me. I may just need a break to stretch and appreciate the comfort and security of those bindings. It's not just this one thing... it's all been building up and adding on and now every small thing feels like it's gonna set me off and piss me off... You think I like feeling like that? You think I enjoy being a cold bitchy wife? Trust me... it's not enjoyable for any of us..."
[15:51] Lucifrage Rofcal was still chanting as he passed a letter from out of his robe to the sister, flicking it into her grip "you wanna get the postal to send that over now..." luci looked calm as he streached back onto the bed "I understand... having these guys running wild and free has given me a greater chance to know myself... I am the sum of many parts, and a part of something larger, I know you'll be back no matter where you go because I have faith in our bond, as sure as you carry half my soul, I carry yours too, explore all you wish, its not cliche to say if you love someone set them free, nor is it wrong to note the nighingale sings sweeter without a cage..." he looked to the sister as she rand down and dragged out the graehab bell device and called a delivery boy to post the message "the truth sets you free i guess, I'm just learning .
[15:52] Sister Mary HHG: rolled her eyes and called the telegram people "I swear, were you not sick i'd beat you for making me run your messages."
[15:56] Bunny looked up curious as she ran a note out and looked to Luci "what's all that about?"
[15:59] Lucifrage Rofcal: "paperwork from denny, just checking if i still have a tresspass notice still in effect, he dropped it off thismorning when him and marus raided my purse for drinking coinage..."
[16:01] Bunny raised an eyebrow "tresspass notice?" shakes her head "If you guys get run out of town again because of your need to poke too many sides... I'm moving in with patch permanently." She shrugs "that's on you guys now. I refuse to worry about it anymore."
[16:02] Sister Mary HHG: "oh this is not any new crime, this is an old one..." sister shook her head "seriously, even the other lads have been relitivly quiet."

[16:08] Bunny shrugs at the sister and flops on the floor laying sprawled out and staring at the ceiling "I stand by my previous statement... seriously we need to find somewhere we can go and just attack people and calls riots and cause all types of problems... so we don't shit where we eat you know? You think I like being good all the time? It sucks but I also know that burning through cities as fast as we are.... eventually people are gonna get wise to what we are and kick us off the planet all together. Or worse... piss of Dok's granddaddy"

The Call on the graeham bell device
[16:06] Morsmordre Furman blinked a few times, "Lucifrage this is Mayor Furman, your telegram made little to no sense, would you please clarify?"
[16:09] Morsmordre Furman blinked a few times, "Lucifrage this is Mayor Furman, your telegram made little to no sense, would you please clarify?"
[16:10] Lucifrage Koray: sister mary answered "he's been tresspassed from your property from the location by your guard, so he can't use his tickets to go to the ball, listen cat..." sister mary would duck down the hall awat from bunny and luci "... whatever's going on, you better realise this, if they get divorced over all this... .... you don't need a priestess of the bahari who loves them both on your bad side... and trust me, they need this night out, luci's been sick since your wish and rommel's wish counteracted each other dangerously, now he's got bunny wishing to go to the ball and your guard wishing him not come on your turf, this could kill him."
[16:11] sister mary remembered the story about mr bell and added "AHOY!!!" loudly.
[16:13] Morsmordre Furman frowns, "Madame the state of the Rofcal's relationship is hardly my business, tresspassed is an act, as in something to be done not a state of being. I have made but two wishes and those were today. Not every statement is a wish. Did either Romelle or my bodyguard state that this was a wish?" She would hold the ear piece further from her ear after the shout her ears flattening. "Bunny can certainly attend, if Lucifrage does not, that is still his choice. He has not only shown no regret for his abominable behavior but now is making excuses..."
[16:15] sister Mary spoke "well answer one question and make this easy, is mr Rofcal currently trespassed?"
[16:15] Morsmordre Furman was quiet for a long moment, "Define tresspassed?"
[16:16] sister mary "is he forbidden, by the controller of the property to set foot on the land where the ball is.
[16:17] Morsmordre Furman let out a little laugh, "Only if he is misbehaving himself. If he comports himself as a proper victorian gentleman, wearing proper clothing, speaking politely, and acting as if he is a member of proper society of course he may attend the ball."
[16:17] sister mary passed the phne to the other hand, she sighed, she regretted being about denny to long as the words slippedout of her mouth like that.
[16:18] Lucifrage Koray: "dressed, english yadda yadda ..." she got her verbal confirmation and slammed the phone down.
[16:19] Morsmordre Furman hung up the reciever and rose from her desk with a small snort, "Tresspassed... such bad grammar." She shuddered and moved downstairs.----------------
[04:14 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal flopped back while sister answered the phone "I'm working on it, I just need to get my head together... uh, and my people!
[04:29 PM] Sister Mary HHG wandered up the stairs " get dressed Luci, you gotta go to the ball, conditions are you dress like the gentry and speak english..." she grinned "that should keep it civil, all your best cuss' are in Urdu and arabic!"
[04:33 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "ok.." luci would calmly get changed, humming a waltz to himself as he looked for a good suit. " Oh, I do hope there is a good band playing, and am damn glad I'm not catering for this one!"
[04:39 PM] Bunny looks up at him "The theme is Red"
[04:41 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "Oh, i forgot, lemme change again" luci would rummage his wardrobe, still humming the waltz " this should do..."
[04:43 PM] Sister Mary HHG: "well, I'm just glad he didn't wear one of MY outfits..." sister spoke giggling "I have lots in red!"
[04:45 PM] Bunny: "Do I need something for my hair?"
[04:46 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "love you have horns.... unless you want to reshape them to something red and jeweled as you have before, you're fine, I don't think a red ribbon will even show much..." he advised" ...should i do my hair red too?"
[04:48 PM] Bunny shrugs some "If it can be done right... which is extremely difficult"
[04:50 PM] Bunny: "better?"
[04:52 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: "completly outdone yourself as usual..." he spoke, messing with his hair "is this passable love?"
[04:54 PM] Sister Mary HHG was quietly standing about grinning "Luci, I'm your fairy fucking godmother, you behave yourself else we'll lose all our progress, which means you'll be back on denny's pills AND on workout mode... you do understand me, I am fucking serious." she nodded " you'll have two women upset with you elsewise, and one of them is me, and... no offence, I have much crueler methods than bunny does, and, I love in your head, you can NEVER escape me, comprende'?"
[04:56 PM] Bunny Yakubu walked over to hug sister tightly and give her a kiss and a thank you. She then started to walk downstairs "I need to eat something before we go, I havent eaten in days..." she went down to the soup pot and took a few spoon fulls. "We should get going here soon."
[04:57 PM] Bunny walked over to hug sister tightly and give her a kiss and a thank you. She then started to walk downstairs "I need to eat something before we go, I havent eaten in days..." she went down to the soup pot and took a few spoon fulls. "We should get going here soon."
[05:03 PM] Bunny: "You want me just to go ahead while you figure out your hair?"
[05:04 PM] Lucifrage Rofcal: ""...sure i'll catch up..."
The Ball
[18:21] Lucifrage Rofcal would approach bunny and make to take her hand in his "would the finest lady at the ball dance with this prince, for, it would indeed make my night perfect by a million degrees?" he would ask as polite as he knew how, smiling and looking his best.
[18:22] Dr. Morsmordre Furman smiles, "I am Morsmordre Furman, the mayor Miss Catirena. If I do not take care of the citizens I am bereft of my duty." She gave a slight bow to the woman, looking over to her imposing body guard. twitching at the sound of Lucifrage.
[18:23] Catirena Demonia blushed and looked at Patch "I didn't know this was so formal...i....I should have worn something else....to meet the mayor" she whispered
[18:23] Patch embrassed Catirena and smiled, "call me what you wish, my pearl..." eh'd hwisper in her ear before giving her lips a light kiss. " and thank you for the coner Miss mayor..now uh...if'n ya don't mind me stealing thsi beatuy away."
[18:26] Bunny took his hand and eyed Luci carefully still looking rather convinced at the moment. Sniffing him just to check she couldnt smell any kind of explosive or prank that might have an audible smell to it.
[18:27] Patch walked up with Catirena around his arm, placing a kiss on her shoulder. "Miss bunny..." he'd say her name to gather her attention while giving a nod to Luci as well, "..this is another who is welcome to my home...Miss Catirena..."
"
[18:27] Catirena Demonia looked Bunny over and smiled. She lifted her skirt slightly as she curtsied to the lady "Good eve Bunny....your looking lovely this evening" she purred[18:30] Lucifrage Rofcal would bow to the new lady and make to take Bunny's hand gentle."it is a pleasure, and..." he looked around "...i should tell you, as pleasures go, Red is my favorite colour, and yet, My good Malaki, sorry, Queen, Bunny, she still stands out, like a ruby among garnets." luci looked to Bunny, no trace of anything but calm on his face.
[18:33] Patch eyed Luci slightly, making sure he was of right mind before nodding ,"hehe..well..Miss Catirena and I are going to share a few dances now..." he'd whisper and look to the woman next to him, " I...hope you'll save a dance for me Miss Bunny..."
[18:34] Catirena Demonia practically glowed at the thought of dancing with Patch
[18:35] Bunny turned and looked at patch and dipped her head "I will be honoured dear patch. You just tell me when you're ready and I am at your disposal." her eyes glittered a moment and she winked at him. She then turned to the lady at his side and curtsied "Lovely to meet you miss" She started out for the dance floor assuming Luci would follow.
[18:36] Lucifrage Rofcal would follow, and, do so swiftly
[18:38] Patch took Catirena to the dance floor, lacing his hands with her and waltzing. "mmm....I thank you...thank you for coming..."
[18:38] Catirena Demonia blushed as she stepped close to Patch "I hope I don't step on your toes" she whispered[18:41] Lucifrage Rofcal: "your hooves are the swiftest I have seen " luci spoke as they danced "...indeed they bring a delightfull percussion when you dance, like the castenettes of a flamanco dancer of great dexterity" he would tell her "...And, this is no mere flattery, i mean this from the pit of my heartflame, you are indeed the brightest soul I have ever known"
[18:43] Catirena Demonia sighed softly at the touch...moveing close to Patch as they danced. She bites her bottom lip and returns the whisper
[18:45] Patch laughs soflty, lighlty biting Catirean's bare neck and shaking hsi head, "....she'll be a guest.but as welcome as anyone..." he'd chuckle.
[18:47] Bunny danced with Luci though she seemed to look slightly off... the sound of their hooves on the floor sounded much like a pony running around with very good rythm. She looked at him for a moment as he spoke but... "Luci... dear..." she leaned in and whispered so hopefully not anyone else could hear over the music "Drowning one in honey sometimes makes it harder to wash away the salt."
[18:52] Lucifrage Rofcal: "I have of late not said enough of how I feel about you, my maladys have had me focused only on my own sorry situation, I was not meaninging to belittle our feelings in any way, just to clarify, I love you, despite how I have been of late..." he looked to her serious "you know, I mean what I say, words are important to me, and i choose these ones well, I LOVE YOU!" he rose his pitch a little on the last words "... and love can conquer anything, even rabid invading squirrels. Of anything you might doubt, don't doubt that" he said. he would think hard, but, no more words came so easily "... Love is the only thing that matters, and of my own sins, none have died at my hands in this city, if any is without fault, I'll go get them some stones to throw at me."
[18:52] Dr. Morsmordre Furman purred, "You are quite skilled Mr.West.' She was relieved to find she had recovered enough strength to dance. The cat watched her dance partner, "I am glad to be able to dance. I wish I could say the harrowing times are over but, I am not going to let myself fade away. I promise you that... and myself too." She purred lightly as they moved.
[18:53] Catirena Demonia purred softly as she rubbed her cheek along his. "Its not right for me to steal you away....you are an important person who must be seen. Despite my own.....needs of you' she said licking his ear
[18:56] Patch 's ears burned as he heard Luci annoucment close by. He'd close his eyes and smile soflty to himself, "I am not important...certainly not enough to abandon a creature as wonderful as yourself..." he'd whisper, voice trembling as her toungue graced his ear, "...perhaps...its time to call it a night...."
[18:57] Bunny winced as he basically screamed in her ear. She thought about just pushing him at that point... she kind of just went blank faced and shook her head and pulled away with a sigh and went to go sit down. She didn't even have the strength to smack him in the back of the head for it...
[18:57] Dr. Morsmordre Furman chuckled, 'I forgot you opened the Tobacco shop, how is your business fairing Mr.West?" She twitched an ear and sighed, "MrWest I must interrupt our dancing for a mere moment, will you forgive me?"
[18:58] Dr. Morsmordre Furman pulled away, "Wait here please? I do wish to finish our dance." She smiled, moving towards Lucifrage.
[19:00] Dr. Morsmordre Furman looked to Lucifrage and Bunny, "Mr.Rofcal, a word please?" She flattened her ears, her words a bit icy.[19:00] Patch wold stop out of Catirena's grasp, but hold onto her hand. He'd watch as she stepped away from Luci, "I...I think Miss Bunny has quite alot on her mind right now though..." he'd whisper, "...oh my...."
[19:01] Lucifrage Rofcal would gaze off distant as bunny parted from him, an empty look on his face. Silence befell him like a slow rain.
[19:02] Dr. Morsmordre Furman would look to Patch and his lovely companion then Bunny, her eyes returning to Lucifrage, "Mr.Rofcal, you were allowed to attend this ball based on several rules. Given your recent behavior. I am afraid you violated that agreement." She kept her voice very quiet, trying to not let this incident put a damper on the party. "Please, see yourself out."
[19:03] Bunny shakes her head at him "You just don't get it" look came across her face. She nodded as Mo spoke, she knew it was coming as he HAD broken the agreement.
[19:03] Lucifrage Rofcal: "i have acted the gentleman and dressed accordingly, if this is not satisfactory Indeed i shall leave" luci had no idea what he'd done wrong, it was probabaly the lack of shoes" very well..."
-
Part 12 - Where the problem lies is... Lies...
[15:17] Lucifrage Rofcal slides in, and sits down in his regular spot, looking hopeful, as he gazed about the room quietly.
[15:18] Vallic walks by and stops, ostensibly to read the posting on the outer wall, but actually for the purpose of listening, and looking for .... the right people.
[15:19] Rhys Llewelyn nods, "I understand Dr. Wyn, but you don't want to over do it either. Perhaps one of the other offices?" Rhys for all his assistance with Dr. Wyn does not seem to miss much as he llooks around.
[15:19] John Spatterdash looks earnestly towards Doctor Muircastle. "I have had an eventful few days here, sir.. eventful, but rewarding, and indeed educational... I have kept reports, if that would be of interest to you, sir."
[15:21] Doctor Wyn rolls back into the corner. "No, I'll be alright, give me a minute or two in this corner will you..?" he reaches out and rubs his fingers together, attempting to get the first faint hint of glow to his fingertips. It was going to take some heavy duty work to get a portal to take him and his wooden chair up and down. He concentrates on that, focusing on drawing in the magic needed for the spell, a scarred hand reaching down towards the floor, towards the ley line, towards the node. Seeking the strength to do what he desired.
[15:21] Doctor Wyn focuses on their practiced skill of Evocation, successfully performs a supernatural presence of 10% on the environment.[15:22] Bunny caught Luci's scent and looked about she peeked over Bastion's shoulder for a moment before taking a deep breath then walking forward a bit and looking at Luci "Do you need the hospital services?"
[15:23] Dr. Sebastion Muircastle nods to Spatterdash, "I look forward to reading them, I was hoping to pair you with Wyn as much as possible, he needs a hand and is a gifted healer, you will both benefit."
[15:23] Vallic arches a brow as he detects the scent of magic in the air. Believing the people he sought were likely not far off, he continues his stroll.
[15:23] Lucifrage Rofcal: "Goat..." luci offers the two men, looking at the wheelchair "get him a trained goat to ride, that'll go up stairs easy..." he kicks his heels back and looks about the room some more, and conciders fate "Is today the day I get a doctor myself? tell you what, I'll get you a goat for a shrink... how about that? fair trade?" luci brushed his messy hair from his face and looked about the room with wide eyes, the spiders in the corners had new webs since his first day on this spot, that amused him, but not as much as how ... he seemed to be growing a mostache, he assumed it was just being sick, but he realy didn't like it. "yes bunny, I'm here again for my daily sit in hope that i get a shrink, i'm starting to get used to this spot love."
[15:24] Dr. Sebastion Muircastle Frowns, "Sir did Dr. Foxtrotter not contact you? I specifically sent her a request to take you on."
[15:25] Lucifrage Rofcal shook his head baleful "no sir"
[15:25] Bastion Steele stands erect, listening to the goings on of doctors and feels Bunny move past him to Luci. Bastion sighs and hesitates. 'Bunny, if you need..take him upstairs..you know..er..in case he should be in a talkative mood.' He looks sheepish, hearing Luci. 'It sounds like you're fairing better Lucifrage.'
[15:26] Astrid Muircastle leans into her Bastion but lets him go to address Luci she stands back though her eyes fall in the direction of the corner Wyn is in.
[15:26] Dr. Sebastion Muircastle sighs, "Excuse me please." he approaches Sidd, "Please Find Dr. Foxtrotter and tell her again of the referral for Mr Rofcal, Also tell her I need to meet with her as soon as possible."
[15:27] Doctor Wyn holds his hand out in front of the chair, turning it sideways, he looked like he was in a fair bit of trance, a globe of about a hands size of light in front of him. He dips his fingers into the light, and begins scetching what only can appear to look like yellow ruins. He skethes them out, tilts his head, turns the entire thing, and continues sketching. Then he reaches for the node and attempts to connect the framework and the spell, to bring it to completion. If sucessful, their would probably be a fairly loud thunk from the corner as an odd stone circle would appear on the floor.
[15:28] Doctor Wyn focuses on their skill of Conjuration, successfully performs a supernatural presence of 7% on the environment.[15:28] Bunny looked to Dr. Muircastle for a moment then stepped back to stand next to bastion... she shook her head "Nothing I can do about it. I can't treat him... I can't help him." she frowned
[15:28] Rhys Llewelyn steps back from Wyn, allowing him to do his work. He proweled to the back of the examining room, and then to the entry. His eye brow raising at the sight of Bunny's husband. Rocking back and forth, on his heels he was silent. This was hospital business after all.
[15:29] Doctor Katherine Foxtrotter comes strolling into the Hospital, giving a simple nods to thoes gathered, before looking at Sebastion, "good Evening."
[15:30] Lucifrage Rofcal: "alas, while I have had the good sister Mary work on some of my coping mechanisims, and been on valarian tablets my lawyer imported for me, I have yet to see a doctor of the mnd, and, pardon my jest, but in a town of such mental maladies, we seem short of doctors of the mind. I am doing fair progress, but, alas... you know, it's a hard life when your figments run riot without even inviting you " luci shook his head and muttered "i don't believe it, I wake up, a note, the sister, denny and marcus all went fishing without me!" he laughed "alas, its hard to find help when even your own inner voices take the day off on a boat!"
[15:30] Bastion Steele: "Bunny, you cannot treat him yourself. This is a conflict, you know that. And soon if you keep up with his behavior..you may need to speak to..uh..someone. You love him and sometimes this can be hurtful as far as enabling him to go on like this. I know you don't condone it. Everything will work out.' Bastion says in a hopeful voice. His eye remain on Luci as he speaks."
[15:31] Doctor Wyn turns after the rather loud thunk noise, his eyes gleaming sucessfully. "Rhys think you can manage to get me up those stairs at least once." he seems very pleased with himself.
[15:32] Rhys Llewelyn nods, his eyes moving over the crowd in the lobby. "Certainly Dr. Wyn. I'll be glad to." He moves forward and levers the back of the chair, turning it around he manages to move up the stairs carefully and without too much jarring to its occupant.
[15:32] Astrid Muircastle tilts her head to the side as Luci speaks and shakes her head, she smiles to Katharine and inclines her head in greeting, "Hello Dr. Foxtrotter."
[15:33] Clio Deveraux walks to the constabulary when she sees a crowd at the hospital and stops wondering what had happened
[15:34] Doctor Wyn goes up the stairs with the assistance. "Rhys, I'm starting to believe we need to hire you for an intern here at London Memorial...now for an out of the way corner..." he immediately sets off in the search of an out of the way spot.
[15:35] Rhys Llewelyn allows a smile to crack his face, "I think Sid would be offended Dr. Wyn, and I won't do this sort of thing for anyone. Now what kind of spot are you looking for? Not that I'm a magician myself."[15:36] Doctor Wyn hrmms. "Well you know most of the second floor is offices, I don't really need to use the offices here...see if you can get me up the next flight would you..I need to face my office sooner or later.." he seems a bit tired now after the first portal casting.
[15:36] Doctor Katherine Foxtrotter looks up at Sebastion, "did you wish to see my Doctor?" nods to Astrid
[15:36] Bunny squirmed and couldnt help but whine softly as she stood with bastion "Yes, it's difficult. All I can do is hope and cheer him on from the side lines. Hope you feels better soon. You know... I just can't treat him and I can't handle it alone or... I'll break." she whispered softly
[15:36] Dr. Sebastion Muircastle nods to Luci, "there were two other mental health workers but I am afraid they ...........went............umm insane. " he turns to greet Dr. Foxgtrotter, "Doctor Foxtrotter It is a relief to see you! I sent a referral some days ago marked urgent regarding Lucifrage here and hear that he has not been seen."
[15:36] John Spatterdash: "I hope you don't mind the jacket, Doctor Muircastle," he sads, fingering the cuffs somewhat self-consciously.. "I understand the fashion is becoming popular, after the example set by the good Doctor Lister..""
[15:37] Doctor Katherine Foxtrotter nods slightly, "Odd I never got the Referal......well no matter, I will see to him. I would never turn away someone in need.."
[15:38] Clio Deveraux hears talking about a sudden insanity and looks down, turning back on her own steps as fast as she's able to
[15:39] Bastion Steele goes back to his desk and rummages through a drawer. He sits down to finalize what the newspaper will be asked to print.
[15:39] Lucifrage Rofcal: "small office fire?" luci asks Dr Foxtrotter as he stands, having had strange conversations with a young lady "...I suggest you bring your top manner of mental science, things are never so simple in a mind of great expanse.... trust me, we are talking a myrad of eccentricities, and only a few one needs focus on, else we'll be here all year!"
[15:40] Dr. Sebastion Muircastle nods, "that is a relief Katherine, unfortunately you are the only one who can see him, he is the spouse of the other psychiatrist. I shall let you two get acquainted, the other question is what do you want on your plaque outside your office door?"
[15:40] Rhys Llewelyn nods watching Wyn carefully. "Relax Dr. Wyn, "I'll be here if you need someone. Turning the chair around he moves the wheelchair up the set of stairs, if possible, smoother than before. His expression is intent but he glances around as he moves the chair.
[15:41] Bastion Steele listens to Luci and breaths out a sigh of concern. He looks up from his desk and stares forward, listening.
[15:41] Doctor Katherine Foxtrotter nods slightly, as she looks to Luci, "i see....well now come Luci, let us head back to my office, where it is nice and quite, and we can talk about a few things." looks to Sebastion, "if it is an emergency case of Nerves, i will bring him a place where it is very quite....no distractions...."
[15:41] Doctor Wyn takes a breath as he nears the office, rolling towards it slowly, his face whitens a bit, and he shakes his head. "No. Screw them.." he sets his shoulders back, chin tightened into a mask, and rolls into his office for the first time in a little over a month.
[15:42] Bunny looks up and looks to Dr. Foxtrotter "Oh Doctor... please be careful... his mind can be... frightening and dangerous." she warns "I do hope you'll be able to help him though."
[15:42] Doctor Katherine Foxtrotter: "I will try my best....I have a few bricks to him him with if he gets to far out of control." laughs lightly, "I am joking.""
[15:43] Rhys Llewelyn steps back and lets the man roll himself into his office, knowing what it takes to face up to something like this. He stand impassively at the door. just waiting quietly. Catching sight of Sid, he signals over to him, "Bring up some water for Dr. Wyn please?"
[15:43] Bastion Steele mutters something about necessary courses of action and looks over to Bunny, his eyes shining with sincere concern. 'Bunny, let her do her work. It is also a good time to take care of you, is it not?'
[15:44] Astrid Muircastle smirks slightly at Katharine's comments, just listening and watching them for now.
[15:45] Lucifrage Rofcal: "bunny's not joking, but, I'm sure I'll be fine for today, seriously..." he looked out onto the road "this are quiet now the others are all gone fishing, a little too quiet, but... they have my soulstones, my Bahari medallion and my sword, I'm technically unarmed and mostly muzzled" he would make to follow Dr Foxtrotter "ready when you are miss."
[15:45] Doctor Katherine Foxtrotter smiles, "this way then...tata for now everyone."
[15:45] Lucifrage Rofcal follows, immitating her walk...
---------------
[15:48] Doctor Katherine Foxtrotter motions to the cough, "please lay down luci make yourself at home."
[15:49] Lucifrage Rofcal: "i should ask, what you know about my kind, firstly ...I won't make myself at home, I'll keep my shirt on..." he joked "... but see my kind are a long lived bunch, but as you know, any mind erodes after about two hundred years, one either makes sacrifices or goes senile, right?" he flopped out ".... I guess, I don't know, you're the expert..."
[15:51] Doctor Katherine Foxtrotter smiles as she leans back in her chair, "I have been around for over 250 years Luci, I understand excatly what you mean......sometimes it is just difficult to hold in all of your experiences...your mind starts to feel cramped and jumbled....one thought pushes out another..."
[15:54] Lucifrage Rofcal: "so, what do you know of the others? Dennis? Sister Mary? Marcus?..." luci rattled off the names "you know, the lawyer, the priestess and the pirate seen about my home?" luci said "you know about them, and how they came to be, and who they are, right?"
[15:55] Doctor Katherine Foxtrotter tilts her head slightly, "I have a general idea of where the orgini is Luci, but prehaps you should tell me, after all I am here to listen to you, not speculate.."
[15:59] Lucifrage Rofcal: "well, see this is my story, or rather, theirs... I was born of an egg, and kept as a wizards familiar. after disaster, I had left the abode, taking this form, well, i didnt have hooves i was incognito, or the horns or the tail. i had wandered into a city and tried to love, but again, every role and occupation i ended up slave or serf...so I decided to look for my father Iblis' territorial sands" luci nodded "thats a place where djinn's build their connection to this world and lay their eggs..." he spoke on "...now after serving as high priest of the bahari, a role few men can acchive, and head librarian, I lost my place as prince when the kindred rebelled..."
[15:59] Anjolie Criss quietly steps in so not to disturb the patient and begins to take notes for the doctor.
[
[16:01] Anjolie Criss has a terrible time keeping up but scratches away at the pad nonetheless.[16:01] Doctor Katherine Foxtrotter nods slightly as she listens, looking at luci for a moment, "I see, and what caused the rebellion Luci?"
[16:02] Lucifrage Rofcal: "wounded, I had taken the clothing of a pirate I'd found to escape via the sea, we djinn hate the water, however the blood of my attackers on me, the form was flawed, and thus marcus was born... he served as a pirate nightwatchman for months before my mind resurfaced and i reclaimed my body. I then met up with my two trusted advisors from the homeland, also exiles, the adopted me and we became mercenaries. Was when i was with them, i had fallen into their...um, ladies laundry, and for a few weeks, i was... well, the sister was born."
[16:14] Lucifrage Rofcal: "Night terrors!" he screams, then settled down, he looked up "Envy, we of the djinn were intelligent, we threw orgies and we could read, the kindred of the land saw us as wastrels, and they aligned with our enemies of old, the naga"
[16:15] Lucifrage Rofcal nodded with a face of anger, he sure did hate them snaky people.[16:16] Doctor Katherine Foxtrotter tilts her head slightly and nods, "why were the naga your enemy Luci?"
[16:20] Lucifrage Rofcal: "Mine? they are the tribal enemy of our people, they dry the wells of the human camel herders and have always aimed to usurp our towers of knowlage, the feud with them started thousands of years ago when they started to raid our egg troves... you ever wonder why so few djinn are left, there's your answer."
[16:22] Doctor Katherine Foxtrotter nods slightly, "I see and the kindred....is there a reason why they despised the Djinn?
[16:25] Lucifrage Rofcal: "we were educated, and we had made a pact of symbiosis with the kindred years ago, they would form the armies and collect taxes, we would form the judicery, the library and the healers of the city, a pact made between an elder of both the kindred who was grand vizier to the kindred sultan. the sultan went insane and tried to suck the life force out of humans, djinn vampyre and anyone else near in a terrible specticle and the djinn imprisoned him in a jem, encased in sand and time. since then, they saw us as a threat, despite our intentions to save all from a mad king."
[16:27] Doctor Katherine Foxtrotter nods slightly "so would you say that ignorance was the key cause of the issues with the kindred? I mean if they actually understood, then why would they oppose the djinn?
[16:30] Lucifrage Rofcal: "exactly. We explained and they seemed to understand, but you know how it is, their minds rot over time, and they start to fear us. but its the way of the djinn... we don't take to poor kings and tyrants, why, My father Iblis was the leader of an exodus of the djinn from the realm of the angels, Iblis would not bow to the adam... he loved god too much to worship god's inferior vessle of life... so you can understand we Djinn ... we oft look at the kindred and other undead as the lesser beings... until they prove otherwise."
[16:32] Doctor Katherine Foxtrotter nods slightly, "how does the general feeling of the Djinn make you feel about the undead you find around here Luci?
[16:34] Lucifrage Rofcal: "eh, london is a free city, I'm much less judgemental, and why shuld I not be, i had to rediscover my djinn history, i was not ingrained with it... although, its not the blood nor tooth of a person that I judge, but their words and actons... you have to undestand, with training as a priest and a librarian, words are very important to me."[16:38] Doctor Katherine Foxtrotter: "I understand but it can have an effect on you could it not? you moved from one culture that had a general view of distrust and scorn toward the undead, and move to a culture that the undead are free and even control a great deal of the economy and government. It is a major change. Despite the fact it was not ingrained does not mean that you were not influenced by it."
[16:42] Lucifrage Rofcal: "Oh no its not that at all.... you have no idea, some of the nicest people i know are of the blood, Like Marcus, he's given me a good understanding of it.." you don't realise, when marcus comes out of my head, I am of the blood and fang entirly... full body multiple personality split... but thats common among djinn over five hundred" he shook his head" ...what pisses me off is the lies that go on in this city, everyone has a secret or an agenda... psst! fuck it, I had enough of that mascarade in transylvania... if you got fangs, be proud of them I say." he nods "you know, I met Bunny there, and she had fangs, do I hate her?"
[16:44] Doctor Katherine Foxtrotter: "not at all Luci, I was simply pointing out one possibility. but enough of this side track, please tell me more about your past. what happend next?""
[16:48] Lucifrage Rofcal: "well, like i said, I'm not racist at all, i had been a mercenary with two women whom became like mothers to me, an angel and a demon... we moved often, I became less of the book carrying scribe and more of a walking one man army, think about it, I burn, I conjure, ... I can errect a balista in five minutes using three trees and some rope... " he shrugged and relaxed "...I got very good at what i did, not as good as them, but hell, I don't punch walls in like an angel nor make people in crouds attack each other like a hellion." he relaxed " I got bored and went to the amreicas... there I got the horns, come out of the lamp and dennis was born, I woke up three months later with a shitpile of legal degrees and a hangover lasting two weeks..."
[16:53] Doctor Katherine Foxtrotter nods slightly as she listens, "how long did you stay in the americas Luci? what did you make of Western culture?"
[16:56] Lucifrage Rofcal: "well... that depends, if you mean, what did i think of a govornment that encourages people to own firearms in case of a currpt govornment, then seems surprised when the people use them to shoot each other?" he shook his head " I started a few jobs, i got in trouble after kicking the horns in of a demon queen who crossed me, Chef moved me to where we could stay out of trouble and i could continue my own kitchen training... but alas... politics of this city... need i go on about how they are like a riot, abiet slower, anyone watching the riot will be drawn in, housewives pich up bricks for windows, priests cuss, policemen stand by... thats politics in this town, even the fae break their own laws of the foresworn."
[16:59] Doctor Katherine Foxtrotter sighs, "To be honest Luci, I have been around human cultures for most of my time of being alive......and it is all about the same to me. back stabbing, slander, throat cutting...whatever is needed to win......I am sort of surprised that I myself even considered running for mayor, and consider myself fortunete that I was taken out of the election due to injury.....Politics at least in human culture seems to never change.
- Luci pased out from shock-
[17:29] Lucifrage Rofcal looked up to Dr Foxtrotter " What? they do?" he looked astounded "you see, thats what I have problems with, my whole culture is based on truth, near truth of wishing at times, but lots of honesty about everything" he shrugged "...how can one get what they realy want if they don't ask for it ? right?" luci shook his head "...Of the elections, the finals sended up so clear cut, but aye, the help I gave the cat, and once she's in the seat of power, her promises and friendship are so soon forgotten to this djinn" he shook his head" One man, entering politics once said 'it is easy to enter politics with good intentions, but hard to not be a pig when your head is at the banquet trough."
[17:34] Doctor Katherine Foxtrotter nods slightly "It seems the biggest shock to you is the fact that not all are truthful and forthright in their words and actions......That would have to be something difficult to adapt to Luci...you expect others to be as honest as you, but in reality that is against the norm of human nature......and remember most of those that live within this city are related to humans in some sort of way......I am not saying everyone is dishonest mind you....it is just you need to be prepared to be deceived......I think George washington said it best with, "Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence. True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.”
[17:37] Lucifrage Rofcal: "but you can see how it stems down to it, I have training in the word and the will, the law and the blade, and yet..." he shrugged"...people still wave the red flace of lies at me" Lucifrage thought hard "george washington's the one with the wooden teeth and the realy obvious white wig? right" he thought about things as they lay "...so, your telling me everyone in this city lies? even the brainless zombies? Even constable Alice?"
[17:38] Doctor Katherine Foxtrotter: "Luci, if I told you that everything I said was a lie, would I be telling the truth?"
[17:41] Lucifrage Rofcal started to shudder as he thought on that, he staggered off the bed, gripping his head and sighing, this question was, alas a bit to tricky for luci's ever literal mind, he groaned, and shuddered, and fell into the fire while he tried to calm down after the fit. things were not well in his head right now, this one, it was a doozy.
[17:44] Doctor Katherine Foxtrotter looks at luci for a moment and mutters under her breath, "Shit.." as she stands up and and extends her hands toward the fire in the place and that which surrounds luci as she attempts to draw in the ambient energy of the flames and redirect them into the void, focusing as she speaks in a low chant, "collaco sicco Flamma."
[17:44] Doctor Katherine Foxtrotter focuses on their legendary skill of Evocation, successfully performs a supernatural presence of 10% on the environment.[17:48] Lucifrage Rofcal: "Ana Aasifah!!" luci questioned as he rolled out of the fire.. then his corners of his mouth rose."Oh you thought? i was..." he would giggle a little "tell me, when a human has a headache, do they not drink water?" he grinned "I thank you for your aid then, but trust me... we are born of the smokeless flame.. the most that would do would..." he looked down "...well my clothing is ruined, but what is material things to a Djinn?" he would step back "I am sorry to scare you doctor! realy I am!"
[17:53] Doctor Katherine Foxtrotter arches a brow, "I see......well Luci......the point I am trying to make is this.....there are very few who have never told a lie. Lieing is part of nature......some lie just simply because they fear what would happen if the truth was revealed...they fear what others think....some lie, to protect others. some lie just for the hell of it......you see luci....not everyone who lies are out to cause harm....and People do not always lie............
[17:57] Lucifrage Rofcal: "lies.." luci spoke in his peoples language, in a much deeper, older voice " ... sorry, something My elder tutor of the madrid told me , in english it would translate as 'lies are the power of the weak, see how the moth immitates the wasp, see how the lizard puffs its frills, see how the coward pretends he's brave... " its an old proverb, but, you can see why, even if they are part of this culture, ... you can see why i find lies repellant?"
[17:59] Doctor Katherine Foxtrotter: "indeed, Luci, and I try my best to remain truthful...however, I would be lieing if i told you that I have never told a lie.....and in general, most of the people you would find in the city could not state they have always been truthful about everything.....It is something you are going to have to consider, and think about....."
[18:03] Lucifrage Rofcal: "I have had sex on multiple occasions with mailboxes..." luci said "you would think if I even had the ability to lie this would be a deep dark hidden secret" he grinned ".anyhow, i think we have a good grounding for today, you've been somewhat revealing on the culture of ... well... this place, but, I should go rest at home and convene again with you later, rome was not built in a day..." he grinned " seriously, I do need a rest, and no, I am done with the Valium, I have been using a counting process the sister taught me to calm down when someone upsets me... and, just in case, remained unarmed. But again, I must go home and sleep, all this lying about has worn me out..."
[18:04] Doctor Katherine Foxtrotter nods, "of course Luci, do take care and get some rest. we can talk again later on. I am glad to have been of service....."
[18:06] Lucifrage Rofcal: "thank you for your time, your methods... strange, but, it's nice not to have a near naked nurse running through your subconsous.... literally" he would say as he bowed and left."
[18:06] Doctor Katherine Foxtrotter smiles, "tata Luci."
-
Part 13 - Freedom flies on a cold wind.
[18:22] Lucifrage Rofcal: "you look..." luci thought about it, thought realy hard aweful..." the word kinda fell out sideways " No, don't change, I was trying this lie thing, apparently the doctor says everyone does it, but, I just can't seem to do it...' he shrugged "well you look splendid as ever, and, i totally stink at falsehoods!"
[18:26] Bunny raised an eyebrow as he told her she looked aweful and shrugs some "People like, it's true..." she went over to sit on the couch and sighs "breaking promises are a from of lying Luci..."
[18:34] Lucifrage Rofcal: "you know, I try my hardest to keep every promise, and I ...as you saw, can't even lie convincingly... that strange Dr says i should just ..." he tried to remember the words " a man with wooden teeth and a bad wig said something about everyone lies, but its the ones who grow like a small plant with truth you hold dear" he shook his head " no thats not it ..."Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence. True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation. george washroom-attendant”"
[18:40] Bunny nods some "Yes, it's not good to put all your trust and faith in everybody. Not to mention.... people do make mistakes. Just like you." she looked up at him "By the way... screaming at your date in the middle of a Ball is not the conduct of a proper English gentleman... you seemed confused on that note."
[18:44] Lucifrage Rofcal: "sorry, bad habit, I'm used to shouting over far louder music..." he tucked his knees into himself " I may have had the best dance partner at the ball, but the rest of it seemed well to sedate, and, stuff all food to speak of, wonder who catered?" Luci would look deep into her eyes, if she didn't flinch away "I still love you, even although I act awefull and the most vile words and mistakes fall out of me, you have to know that."
[18:47] Adrianna flew up and read the sign "cosa nostra.. this is the place." she looked in the windows seeing a few people " is luci in there..."
[18:50] Lucifrage Rofcal: "would cast a small spell writeing the glowing words on the door "Mental stress sick leave, resteraunt closed until staffing issues sorted"
[18:51] Adrianna frowned " teb sent me... but okay. feel better whomever is not well." she sighed and waited for an answer, she didnt think she would get one but she would wait anayways, just in case.
[18:51] Bunny looked up at him "I love you too... It just... I'm worried about you. You're not how you used to be and I don't know why." she sighed deep "It hurts... your mom thinks I should just leave. Cut it off the head of the snake before it bites again." she looked up as someone seemed to be looking for him then back at him "She may need help... or have a message?"
[18:52] Lucifrage Rofcal: "oh ok" luci swung his hand at the door, his magic weak " come in!"
[18:53] Adrianna flew in smiling "hello luci.. and you must be bunny. if this is a bad time, i can come back."
[18:54] Bunny nods at the woman slowly "I am... it would probably be best if you came back a little later unless there's something urgent you need."
[18:55] Adrianna shook her head "no nothing urgent, Teb said he borrowed a few books from you, i was wondering if i could borrow a few, he said you have quite a large collection, but as i said, i can come back later.
[18:56] Lucifrage Rofcal: "I'm not well, and, even my cooking's gone off" he raised his palms up "alas, I have become a danger to the ears and sensibilities of the average citizen..." he shrugged " but if you need help, we can be arranged to help when I'm better... " he would look at bunny, think of tebs and look back "for those books, best come back later..."
[18:57] Bunny nods to her "Yeah, we do have an extensive library and you are welcome to borrow as many as you like, though it'll have to be later." she was looking very tired.
[18:58] Adrianna nodded "oh and he sent the ones he borrowed back" she looked into a blank space in the room, and reached out her hands dissapearing then reappearing with a pile of books on sneaking and fighting as well as elemental magicks " here you are" she set them on the floor in a neat pile* "i will take my leave now, feel better luci, you as well bunny.."
[18:58] Adrianna walked out and looked back making an odd gesture with her hand over her sternum, one of peace and good luck amongs the pixies.
[18:59] Lucifrage Rofcal: "My wish magic's very weak, and of the books i stuffed in teb's head, I can do the same for you at a later point, right now, i'm just happy to sit with my wife and gather my wits one by one."
[18:59] Adrianna nodded and flew away
[19:02] Lucifrage Rofcal: "wishers..." luci rolled his eyes "... well at least a few of the townsfolk want me, i don't know if its for the right reasons, but many hate me for the wrong reasons so who knows?"
[19:04] Bunny: "I don't think anyone hates you... I think those that are upset are those who worry that you're hurting me.... and the others it's because they feel attacked by you."
[19:06] Lucifrage Rofcal: "again, there are no dead at my hand in this town, and all i have attacked is lies and broken promises... I'm in therapy to try and lower my tendancies to fly off the handle and to not take lies so offensive... its what I need to do to survive here in this city... and, I never meant to hurt you, ever."
[19:07] Bunny 's chest along with her shoulders raised and fell "You also need to not take ever single statement as a wish..." shrugs "I still don't see why you wont take me up on my offer..."
[19:08] Bunny: "I think it would be good for us... both."[19:11] Lucifrage Rofcal: "i don't want to leave you, I love you, erhaps too much for my own good, i rely on you too much and when you have needs of your own I screw up, I'm working on that, but, if you realy must have space, there is no reason you should be having to hide at your friends, I'll go sleep in the mothr's laboritory if you need space, for a time, but, know this, I do love you, even love you enough to give you a break from me if thats what your friends realy think you need."
[19:17] Bunny shakes her head "I mean about going to a different city sometimes just to fucking let loose. So we're not both cramped up in this town all the time... so we can let out our aggression and cause some chaos and have some fun like old times... Then maybe we wouldnt have such problems behaving ourselves when we're here. I mean... I have just as hard a time sometimes. I just have better control over my impulses. And... you can stay where ever you like... Bastion offered me my own room and a drawing room to myself at his place... it's more than I can say for this place. Nothing here is mine."
[19:22] Lucifrage Rofcal: "i am all for hunting anywhere else but here... " he said " I can draw any lines of demarcation anywhere, else traverse time and space to let my havoc go wild. I... just don't want to be alone, thats all, I worry should i leave, I'd lose you, I know i've already lost a lot of your trust with my actions, and I'd rather rebuild things than let them crumbele between us I don't want to lose you... this place, were your hand in mine, i would leave in seconds."
[19:28] Bunny nods some "I mean... I wasn't made to just sit in one spot all the time either but it's good to have a home base.... I'm just tired of always having my homes destroyed by one thing or another. I'm not ready to leave here. " shakes her head "Honestly I think you need to go to some kind of place where you can rest for awhile and take a break from everything. Taking a break is not going to make you loose me... it's the stress that will do it... I don't have a high threshold for stress these days."
[19:32] Lucifrage Rofcal: "I understand, I guess other places have wrongs to right, and I do need a break... but I jus need to know, will you always be here for me? thats what scares me, I married you for a reason, and, I don't like the idea of losing you."
[19:38] Bunny looked over at him "Honestly? Unless I'm absolutely convinced that our marriage cannot be reconciled then I'll be here. I'm not going to just drop you if there's even a chance.... If I think there's no chance I'll tell you. So... you can look at it as.... you have me. And you know I wont lead you on."
[19:40] Lucifrage Rofcal: "I love you... I'm gonna go find myself, and, return to the mothers and be their problem for a bit, you understand me better than I understand myself..." he would lean in to kiss her, leaving nothing to chance.
--------------
Lucifrage Rofcal would disappear into the night, he would sleep in the failed restaurant and make his plans.
That night he would taste his tears and wish Bunny happiness he'd denied her with his string of misadventure and foul luck.
No trace would be found of him, although, his boat may have been seen passing Torn-Oak in the morning...---------------
