Lann screamed as her self in the dream realm got torn to shreds. To Ioan reddish dark glows that seemed like eye orbs fixed on him. and the usully heavy presence of destruction.. got the point across. Sending Lann into a dark uncounciouss bit was the least of what the dark angel could do.

"Lann!"
Why it was happening, Ioan didn't know. But the visitation by Destruction, and Lann's screams made one thing clear: She needed him. Now. Stretching out on the ground, Ioan closed his eyes. Sorry, Ioan thought, as he appeared in his idyllic dreamscape. No time. An eyeblink... and he was in The Core. For a moment, a certain, dark dreamscape tugged at him,... The Arena. No thank you, he thought, focusing on the bond. His eyes shifted up, then across and he felt her. Steeling himself, Ioan made the jump. |

Fire and sparks flashed in her leaf-green eyes, her brown/black ears were pinned, and she almost seemed to have fangs. |

Re: V-Day | ||

It, had been a hidden part of Ioan ever since he first made love with Mi'Rynn. There had been no need to make it's presence known, so it lay dormant... until now. Awakened not by Abigail's tirade, but, the few, yet significant strings that now connected her heart to John's. Thus, it now showed itself to Abigail in the same way it showed itself to Ioan months ago
Ioan's eyes snapped open. They looked up at Abigail. But Ioan wasn't there. Instead, an opalesant play of light, feral and primal, danced in Ioan's eyes. It played in a pattern unending, tracing back and getting lost in time. As it receeded into the depths of his hazel orbs, it warned Abigail that it was still there, leaving this echo in her head: He, has Danced with Me... And is part of The Pattern, forever. He, has Touched Me... And his life has changed. He, will Feel Me... And the Ever-Time Wave will he ride. Dance with John... You dance with Me... And You, become part of The Pattern, forever. Touch Me... And Your life will change. Feel Me... And The Ever-Time Wave, You, will ride. |

(OOC: *Inclining head* Thank you, Kitten. *Tail-Tickle* I did set out to spook Abigail. But, as pragmatic and single-minded as Abby is, I'm not so sure she'll be spooked. Surprised,... angry,... probably think Ioan did it. I'm not sure she'd believe it if John told her it was for real.
(Besides, It, warned Ioan when he was getting close to Lann. Seems fair It should warn Abigail of what could happen if she gets real close to John.) |

There was a paase of about two seconds.
And then Abigail wallopped Ioan in the face, "Stay out of my head, fucker, or so help me Goddess, you're going to lose yours!" (Again, I think youre seeing something between John and Abigail that there just isnt. Theyve just met, they had a conversation, and they were friendly. That doesnt exactly speak of intense romance to me, present or future. If we go by that kind of logic,than Im soul mates with about nine or ten guys, my sisters boyfriend included, because we see each other often and get along real well. Abigail's had a lot more interaction with Lann, all of it quite pleasant, yet I notice Abigail didn't get any voice in her head for that. And I'm willing to bet that if Abigail and John were the same sex, you wouldn't be hearing the wedding bells you seem to be. Are you seeing my point?) |

( I do R.F. Al I can say is... these twins are difficult to make friends. I cant speak for yas... but as frienship is hard to get from Abigail... John is in deep do do.
John pushed hislef on his feet and trudged toward Abigail. Knowing how his twin felt about being touched without her express permission, he had gone flying a couple of times at least, He simply insisted with a more solid tone of voice. " He ain't listening Abigail... he's messing with my twin again so... he just ain't there. I'll hold him for you to batter when he gets back." |

Re: V-Day | ||

(Mm, yeah...Abigail believes real friendship is earned, not given, and has a rather different set of standards for how she qualifies as "friend"...and she is very big on people onot welching on a committment, so it's good John is adamant about keeping his word.)
Abigail probably would not have sent John flying if he touched her, but it probably was the better move on his part to extend her the courtesy of keeping his hands to himself. She was a bit surp[rised he was back so soon...if Ioan's previous statement was to believed, then that meant Lann was unconcious again. Goddess, she hoped that girl was okay! Standing up--she had been crouched down so that she had been on level with Ioan's face-- and turning away from Ioan and to John, she said, "What, you mean like a...a sort of telepathic thing? He's mind-speaking to her and it makes it sort of catatonic?" She looked back at Ioan, and while Abigail was someone who never, or at least almost never, sneered, her expression did come close, "Well, he was apparently aware enough to send some little bit of bullshit mumbo-jumbo into my head...the jerk, he was talking about you, too. What a loser--gossip is low enough, but trying to turn somebody off somebody else by scaring them into it with telepathic hoodoo? L-A-M-E, big-time. I oughta kick him, except he can't do anything back right now." One thing about Abigail, she always played fair, even when others didn't. Granted, others didn't always see 'fair' the way she did, but she had a very good concept of it, especially for a teengirl, and you can't please everyone. |

Re: V-Day | ||

"Um..." John looked back at Abigail with a tired look. #He insists that he's part of her life... so If she is bugged by a soul shard... he tried to wiggle his way. Oh!, Soul Shards are bits of living force woth memory included from former lives. my twin has a little crack on her protection and her filter really stopped working after the accident were our folks died. But That is a long story. You're gonna have to show me where to get a shower after this... "
With a sneer on his face that would very well serve Abigail, John kneeled down, and picked Ioans form on his left shoulder, like a sack. He then groaned a bit as he got again on his feet. "Where is the nurse? " Of course, being a life time fighter, John would hardly notice that he was cut from head to toe in thin lines and all bled. He did not even flinch at the scent of his blood. "The Ever wave is... something better to keep away. He tangled himself with it and it is a very whimsy force to be reckoned with... but all in all... you should not pay attention.Neither Lann nor I go about dragging our friends from past or present into that crap.

(OOC: Point taken, R.F.
(In fact, the point you made earlier about this was reflected in the few strings, which, in my mind, meant the start of respect and/or friendship, which is where romantic love ---ideally--- begins. It was imagery that evidently wasn't sufficiantly clear. (Oops! I worked a little too long on my post. Kitten got in ahead of me. Oh, well. Back to the word proc.) |

(Well, yes, I'd say that love ideally begins in respect and friendship...but just having respect and friendship does not automatically mean that romantic love will result, and the only basis there seems to be for the idea of Abigail and John being in love is...they had a conversation that was pleasant, and they're a boy and girl, at least one of whom is heterosexual; I don't know if John's straight or not, but Abby is, despite the rumors. So, having ideas about the two of them being in love when they don't even have friendship yet just seems a hell of a stretch. I really don't see her as falling love with John, in any case. Not saying it would never ever happen, I just don't really see it as of now.)

Re: V-Day | ||

Ioan winced slightly as he felt Abigail's blow where he was. But his time in the Arena had honed his focus. That, plus concern for Lann kept him going. The question was, where was he going? He knew he was getting closer to her, but the darkness... Hey, wait-a-minute.
Let there be light! And there was light, allowing Ioan to see something that would cause Lovecraft or Stephen King to wet their pants. Destruction... bent over Lann... toying with her, with it's claws. Ioan had faced his share of uglies before. In his dreams and in The Arena. But the sight of Destruction in it's true, full hidiousness, brought fear that made Ioan breach for a blank. Then, a resolve, steely and feral took hold of Ioan's eyes. Fierce, terrible claws appeared on paw-like hands and feet. As ash-blonde fur covered him from head to toe, his incisors sharpened and his tail thickened. He'd been this way ---a werecat--- before. Once made so by Alanna,... then Megan,... Spiro,... once, by his own choice, in order to rescue Lann,... and then, by The Arena Masters. He knew this form well and he welcomed it. Bounding in silent, cat-like grace over grotesque rock formations, Ioan drew close to Destruction. Landing between It and Lann, he met It's gaze, saying, "Leave her alone." |

Re: V-Day | ||

(Shandrel, since you're back now, d'ya need me to dig up Delilah's last reply so you don't have to hunt for it?)
Abigail was rather agnostic on the subject of reincarnation. She neither believed nor disbelivieved in it, she merely counted it as a possibility. She definately believed, however, that most-to-all people who claimed to remember their past lives were nuts or lying; there were just too many self-proclaimed reborn Napoleons and Marie Antoinettes and not enough countless peasants and nobodies for the odds to realistically worked. So, sure, she believed it could happen, but she didn't buy the reports of the dozens of people who said they were ALL the reincarnated lost Grand Duchess Anastasia Romanov of Russia. What John's bit about Soul Shards and Lann's alleged past lives sounded like to Abigail was pretty much this: Soul shards and reincarnation were the spiritual beliefs of one or both of the twins. Lann was probably schizophrenic, or otherwise emotionally/mentally disturbed, and probably had an extreme breakdown after the shock of her parent's death, and her brother or the both of them merely believed the symptoms of her breakdown and instability to be the results of the shards and rebirth ideas they already had. Nothing registered on her face to signify any of this, though. Running with the circle she did had taught Abigail the valueable lesson of NOT saying something like that out loud or otherwise showing it...her basic rule about nutty beliefs was that as long as they weren't hateful or harmful, it wasn't her place to tell the believer in question that she personally thought they wrong. If pressed for her opinion on someone's spirituality, all she would ask was the right to respectfully disagree. "Oh, I'm not paying much attention to him, don't worry, " she said, "Nurse is this way....looks like you'll be needing her attentions along with him. Just what happened to you wherever it was you went, if I even want to know? You're a mess. Does it hurt really bad?" |

Re: V-Day | ||

John actually made a noise that hand not come out of his self in a long time. He chuckled. Abigail's scepticality could be tasted around her and yet she still tried to worry about him. He had to pull an almost charming smile. Sure, covered in blood there might not be much charm to find, except for him, Ceil and all the other ferals on campus.
"Actually You really dont wanna know. As real nased as I can see you are... I really dont need Jungian or Freudian theories about. And I can't feel this. Lann's the one with most of this charge. But the cuts sting so... I thing I can get a cleaning right?" He said without breaking a stride, towards where Abigail was leading him. When they made it to the nurse's office, without minding miss Nightingale he simply dumped Ioan on the nearest matress. Lann on the other hand, in waking and in dreaming was bleeding HARD. Destruction was having a long appointment with her after her little escape trick. But the Dark figure only seemed to pause enough to settle the dark voids that were supposed to be his eyes and cement anything to its place with it. Lann heard him chuckle, And her pain only increades enough to make John catch himself. But Destruction released her after all, he had finished what he was minding about with his little anchor. |

Re: V-Day | ||

(We should wait for Shan, because she had Shandrel right here in the nurse's office before she had to be gone for awhile. )
She laughed, "Freud? Oh, Goddess, do NOT get me started on Freud...oh, have you read his stuff? It is hilarious!" She deepened her voice in an exaggerated fashion, apparently in an imitation of Sigmund Freud himself, "Little girls are envious of males because they have a penis, angry at their mothers for taking the penis they think should have had, and want to have sex with their fathers so that they may obtain one!" She laughed again, her voice returning to normal, "I mean, wow, right? Freud had some good stuff, I guess, but when he was wrong...woh-oh-wow, he was wrong! Seriously, he's funny until you realize he really meant that stuff. No offense to your penis, John, but I'm not jealous of it, I promise." Yes, Abigail certainly found Freud's theories on penis-envy to be hilarious just because they were so stupid, as she did a fair bit of his other work. And yes, she actually just assured John, in jest, that she was not envious of his sexual organs. She was casual like that, and saw no problem in acknowledging that genitalia and sex actually existed, and making light of the subjects easily with people. They were just body parts; she saw no reason for people to blush and get embarrassed about them. Society...pssh. She then looked serious, "Not feeling pain when you should be is a BAD sign. Get yourself checked out as well as cleaned up." After John had dumped Ioan, Abigail thumped the wall with her knuckles, calling, "Nurse Florence? Anybody? Hey, we've got a couple of guys out here who need assistance! One's unconcious, the other is a bleeder!" *** Just after having answered the CNA's question about visiting her mother, Delilah heard a girl's voice calling for help with an unconcious person and a bleeding person. SHe looked at Shandrel in alarm, expecting--hoping--for the girl to run to those people any minute. 'Cause, hey, Delilah knew they needed attention more than she did! |
