[Acro] GLoG XLV: The winds of change be darned!

[SeptAngel]

I'd hope so.

Alexis gathers the dishes. Any thoughts for after dinner activities?

[Lex-Kat]

{Shania's Mind}

Shania stops and stares at Quinn, dumbfounded. How... how did...... She looks back at where Quinn was.

[Reinholdt]

{Rose Garden}

As soon as Butler enters the bush, Vidalia tries to wrap him up in a hug and kiss.

You have seen those small little blue creatures with the ugly white pants and silly white hats? She says after a moment, if they do kiss.

Butler doesn't resist at all. Nope. In fact, he's missed her quite a bit, so tries to hold the hugs and kisses as long as he can.

"You mean the smurfs ma'am? Yes, I've seen them ma'am. They're nice ma'am."

[The Bushranger]

I believe a movie is traditional, Alex observes with a smile.

[Je dit Viola]

Helen walks down to the basement.

[Training Area]

She, in her normal form - Succubus, wings, tail, and horns - flies around, longsword in one hand, rapier in the other, and dagger held by her tail, practicing swordfighting. While flying. Sounds hard? It is.

[The Bushranger]

{Shania's Mind}

Shania stops and stares at Quinn, dumbfounded. How... how did...... She looks back at where Quinn was.

Quinn smiles, softly. It's a kind of magic, magic of the mind, actually. It takes a lot of practice to learn how to do it, and you have that potential.

[SeptAngel]

Works for me. How about something scary? She suggests.

[Lex-Kat]

{Shania's Mind}

Quinn smiles, softly. It's a kind of magic, magic of the mind, actually. It takes a lot of practice to learn how to do it, and you have that potential.

No. There is no such thing as magic or...... or psionics. It's all dreams of geeks and nerds who wish they could get a cheerleader into bed. Shania says snidely.

{Rose Garden}

They are not nice, Butler. They are evil. They are trying to invade our home and take over. We must capture them all and turn them into gold.

{Training Room}

*Clap Clap Clap* Impressive.

[The Bushranger]

Hm. I think I can come up with something for that. Alex grins. Wanna get the popcorn?

---

(Mindscape)

Quinn rolls her eyes, then tries to talk in Shania's mind.
From inside the mind of her...misguided...alternate personality.
From inside Shania's actual mind.
Hopefully all this recurison won't make minds explode...

~Explain this, then.~

She's looking at Shania the whole time, lips pursed.

[Reinholdt]

{Rose Garden}

"They are Vidalia ma'am?"
Of course, Butler trusts Vidalia implicitly and far more than most, so believes her right away.

... "How do we turn them into gold Vidalia ma'am?"

[Je dit Viola]

[Training Room]

Wha...? she says, unaware that someone was watching...she looks to see who it was, and she crashes into the wall.

She falls to the floor, the dagger piercing her wing.

[SeptAngel]

Will do. She blows him a kiss, fixing the popcorn and grabbing a bag of chocolate candies. Nothing better than mixing the two.

[The Bushranger]

Heehee...

Alex decides that Alien would be a good choice for a scary movie, and pops in the disc before heading for the couch.

[SeptAngel]

Alexis soon join him, tucking her feet under her and snuggling up to him.

[Lex-Kat]

{Shania's Mind}

Get... get out!!! Shania will grab the sides of her head. Quinn may feel her unintentionally try to force her out of the second mind.

The strength of it is powerful, raw energy.

{Rose Garden}

I know an old wizard who claims he knows how to do it. We'll take them to him.

{Training Room}

Bianca steps out of the shadows. Oh, I'm terribly sorry. Let me help you with that wing.

Her stride is almost supernatural, though she's walking, she gets to Helen's side almost instantly. The name's Bianca.

[Reinholdt]

{Rose Garden}

Butler looks at Vidalia incredulously. He doesn't know what that word means, but he's doing it!
Mostly cause he thinks the idea is silly, if not impossible.

"What do you need me to do Vidalia ma'am?"

[Je dit Viola]

[Training Room]

Hi, Bianca. She winces. I'm Helen.

That wasn't so good...I hurt all over...

[The Bushranger]

(TV Room)

Alex smiles and puts his arm around Alexis. Comfortable, love?

---

(Mindscape)

Quinn quickly withraws from the mind in a mind in a mind. Mind you, she was sort-of expecting that, so she shielded her mind inside the mi..
...
*head asplode*

Anyway, Quinn quickly pulls back.
Sorry about that. But I thought that was the best way to demonstrate, in a way that couldn't be denied. And I'm married, so I have no interest in getting a cheerleader into bed. She smiles a little. And, I must say, your potential is even greater than I thought. Even untrained you have nearly as much power as I do, and I've trained for years.

[SeptAngel]

Of course. She nuzzles him, jumping at a scary part.

[The Bushranger]

Alex hugs Alexis a little tighter, letting his closeness be maybe a little bit protective. Since she's now Rambo Alexis he'll take that feeling whenever he can.

[SeptAngel]

She relaxes a little, letting him be big protector for the scary movie. Probably her plan in the first place with the movie.

[Lex-Kat]

{Shania's Mind}

Lies! I'm not a freak like you. Leave me alone! Sania turns and begins to run home again, crying.

{Rose Garden}

Well, you've talked to them, right. Convince them that I'm a friend. And whatever you do, don't mention us turning them into gold, okay.

{Training Room}

You were doing wonderful, until I startled you. You obviously need better training. I can help you with that. Bianca offers the Succubus her hand.

[Je dit Viola]

[Training Room]

Helen grabs the hand, and says Thanks... It's a good thing only her wing was hurt. Oh, wait. She must have landed on her leg funny, as it appears to be in a slightly painful position.

And is it that obvious?

[Reinholdt]

{Rose Garden}

"Alright ma'am. I'll do what I can ma'am."

Of course, that depends on if they'll ever undeadtime again.

[The Bushranger]

(Mindscape)

Quinn...scowls.

And quickly Dimension Doors in front of Shania, again.
Arms crossed, foot tapping, blocking the way...
What did you just call me?
It's her Mom Voice.

---

(TV room)

Heehee.

Needless to say, Alex isn't complaining.
And he seems to particulary enjoy the "nuke 'em from orbit" scene.

[SeptAngel]

Alexis finishes the movie, happily to sleep on the couch tonight in his arms.

((Night.))

[Lex-Kat]

{Shania's Mind}

Shania stops again and glares at Quinn defiantly. You. Are. A. Freak!!

{Rose Garden}

Well, it seems they aren't up and about quite yet, unless you see one I don't. Vidalia frowns.

How about we...... Vidalia reaches behind Butler's ear and begins to itch it.

{Training Room}

Bianca notices the leg. Well, that just won't do. She tries to ease Helen back down. Let me see if your leg is broken.

[Reinholdt]

{Rose Garden}

"We wh... ma'am..." Butler gets interrupted, but still manages to squeak out a ma'am as he falls into nuzzling purring mode, his eyes half-closing.

He'll go to pet a... where do onions like being touched anyways? A tendril I suppose.

[Je dit Viola]

{training Room}

She winces on the way back down. It does feel a bit strange...

It is broken.

[The Bushranger]

(('night Kalie!))

Alex is more than happy to sleep on the couch with Alexis in his arms.


(Mindscape)

Smile when you say that. Quinn's expression darkens a bit.
Bad memories, perhaps? Hm...
I am a telepath. A paladin, possessing magic of the divine arts. And Champion of a Goddess, granting me further divine powers. This makes me a freak? Is a penguin a freak because it can swim? An elephant because it has a trunk? She softens a little. Or are you just scared of what you have, what you have the potential to become? With great power does come great responsibility. She pauses. I'm not a freak - and neither are you. You're not like other people, that's true - but you're not a freak. You're better.
