Departure

FlashGuardian13: Heya, Lei. *smiles and hugs*

Misendeavor: Heya, hon

FlashGuardian13: It's a new day, just like you wanted. Worlds of wonderful possibility await you.

Misendeavor: And...I got rained on, on the way to work, and feel like a wet lettuce leaf

FlashGuardian13: *grins* You know, lettuce always looks best wet.

Misendeavor: *Laughs* Uh hu =P I don't

FlashGuardian13: Oh, pshaw. I've always been a fan of the wet look. *hugs you anyway, getting self thoroughly soaked in the process*

Misendeavor: *chuckles and hugs* How was work?

Misendeavor signed off at 12:16:21 AM. Misendeavor signed on at 12:23:03 AM. FlashGuardian13: Work was okay. Though it feels like I threw out my shoulder, or something. Doesn't bother me if I don't move it, though. So I'm ignoring it.

Misendeavor: Sounds like the best thing ot do really

FlashGuardian13: *nods* So how is work going for you so far? You've probably only just started ...

Misendeavor: My PC's doing the Crash tango again...Grr

FlashGuardian13: Oh, fun ... *sticks tongue out*

Misendeavor: No, about as much use as shooting peas at the moon too

FlashGuardian13: But shooting anything at the moon is fun ... even if you know you aren't going to hit ... never mind, I'm probably not helping you any, am I?

Misendeavor: *Chuckles and shakes head gently* Kinda amusing though

FlashGuardian13: Oh, good. At least I amuse. My purpose in life, it seems. ^_^

Misendeavor: Well being a friend is a good purpose

FlashGuardian13: *nod* A very good purpose, one that I fulfill happily. *looks at Redfang* Wow, Blue is back, Glyniss is back ... wonder who else we'll start seeing again.

Misendeavor: *Pouts*

FlashGuardian13: *laughs and gives you attention* Okay, okay, I get it ... where would you like to start today? ^_^ Jaimin and Anwyn talking before he leaves for hell?

Misendeavor: I'm pouting cause I don't play Keepside when all the fun's happening too...Jsut kinda sod's law, but yes, I'd like that,

FlashGuardian13: Oh. *looks away* Maybe I shouldn't be talking about the Keep in front of you, then. I don't want you feeling left out.

Misendeavor: I dont mind you talking about it hon, I'm used to petty jealousy by now

FlashGuardian13: Still, I shouldn't encourage. Anyway ... how to start things ... *ponders* Packing. Wait, Flash doesn't have anything to pack. Hmmm ...

Misendeavor: The girl's been spending her mornign much like so many others on Redfang, out amnogst the Fauna and Flora, tending to plants and ensuring a safe environment for al lthe Island's inhabitants. She's become rather a faelike creature during this hours, plants dancing to her whims as snake's would a charmers. The small flower gardens at the front of the dojo showing signs of spring with the first bloom of bright vivid pastel flowers, though more fitting oriental seedlings are rooting within. A sudden...discomfort had pulled the woman in from her work early, before lunch. and she's just wiping the dry loam from fingers and toes about to entre the dojo proper in a search for what seems to be the cuase of the butterflies kamikazing within her stomach 'Jaimin?' THe tension obvious in her tone. FlashGuardian13: Jaimin just happens to be passing through the south wing, on the heels of the lady Sam who has been staying on Redfang for some time now. Sam passes Anwyn right by, her backpack over her shoulder as always, exiting swiftly and without a word, set to her purpose. Flash is close on her heels, though as he sees Anwyn he pauses, noting the worry showing plainly in heart and spirit. "Anwyn? What's wrong?" his voice is soft and inquiring, seeming as if he is ready to spring to action after whatever is causing her concern.

Misendeavor: 'What's wrong? It is not my worry...' Astute little thing, scarily so at times as she fixes him with wide green eyes that seem to see to much yet still thirst for more. Eyes that now sail over the lines of his face and body looking for answers, the young savant unusually stiff with tension 'What's going on?' She knew, the whole Island was thrumming as if in preparation. FlashGuardian13: Jaimin quickly sees in Anwyn's eyes the anticipation mirrored in his own heart. He seems to relax a bit, letting out a short breath, followed by a short explanation which he knew wouldn't do any good. "Sam and I are going to go rescue a friend. She's in grave danger, and has been for some time now." As he speaks friend, the image of Glyniss comes to his mind ... and as he speaks of danger, another image entirely. One of flames and smoke. Of jagged columns of obsidian, like thorns rising from a desolate landscape, all under constant barrage of intense heat. A place that borders on the heart of evil itself.

Misendeavor: The girl's pale skill palls further, shivers tracing across her skin as the visions both rock her, so easily shared by a man who worries to a woman who loves him. 'Jaimin...' It's a swallowed sound of nothing short of pure fear, swaying to lean on the dorrway of the dojo..She wouldn't ask if he had to go, she knew the answer in the image of Glyniss's face, she knew he was going for something he believed in,,but...It didn't make any difference to the throbbing pain crushing her chest 'I...B-...' Speachless, for once, the image he harbours of hell taking form and warping in her mind, Flash within it now in her throughts, the torturous heat, cruel talons of deathly beasts....

FlashGuardian13: Jaimin rushes forth to catch her in his arms as her legs fail her, holding her upright, his touch reassuring even as he looks to her with some confidence. "I have to go. She needs help. But I don't want you to worry. Alright?" He leans his head to one side, looking straight into her eyes. "I've been to hell plenty of times. This ... shouldn't be any different." Yet amidst his confidence, there is a hint of uncertainty sparked by one particular piece of knowledge ... all those times he had been through hell before, he had the strength of an avatar behind him. And while what strength he still has is considerable, there is still a chance that things could go wrong. He knows this as well as Anwyn does.

Misendeavor: For the first time she wishes she was blind to the thrid sight, so that his words would be enough to convince of her of the infallability of the powerful, vital man she loves. But, it's not...His doubt becomes her fear, his unspoken trepidation filling her senses like a rotten fish found in the back of a fridge. The woman trying to find her strength through the fear, not to add anything more to his worry , pulling all her strength to just remain free from hysterical tears. The urge to beg him not to go pushed away, locked behind the serenity she searches for as her arms go around his neck to hold to him 'When?' Misendeavor signed off at 2:01:59 AM. Misendeavor signed on at 2:02:08 AM. FlashGuardian13: Jaimin holds her, laying a tender kiss upon her forehead and resting his head upon her shoulder tenderly. "Soon," he tells her softly, rubbing his cheek against her softly, not wanting to leave the warmth of her embrace and the safety he feels there. But he knows what he must do, and the sooner done the better. Not just for Glyniss's sake, but for Anwyn's worried mind as well. He lets out a light laugh, leaning back away and looking into Anwyn's eyes brightly. "Heyyy," he says, his voice a cradle to her fears as reaches forth a hand to light upon her cheek. "I'll be fine, I promise."

Misendeavor: 'This is one promise you have to keep, my love...If you never keep another as long as we live..This one. You do...' Finding power in his smile, and in the love that warms her heart even now as fingers stroke through his hair, lovingly memorising the softness of his red locks. Wanting to hold on, wanting to cling to him and wrap him safe and never let him go. 'And you want me to stay here and keep Redfang safe...' The fact he wouldn't let her go with jhim didn't need to be said, she knew, instantly as soon as she'd started feeling the disquiet. 'Yet you know I'll not leave you in spirit, not for one moment...' the flair of her rainbow colours, hot and comforting there as a peacock tail of reassurance. 'Every step I will be with you...'

FlashGuardian13: Jaimin nods to her, solemnly swearing to his return. "I will." He holds her to him one last time, partly to hide his guilt ... he knew she would want to come along even as she knew he would never allow it. "Not even the deepest darkness could extinguish the flame that burns in my heart for you. Our light will shine even in the smoldering pits of the Abyss, and the fiends of darkness shall cower and tremble." He grins, brushing a stray lock of red from her eyes as he looks into them. "Leave a light on for me, alright? There's a spare bedroll I've placed in one of the unused classrooms ... keep a candle burning there, in the window." With this simple request, he lets his arms fall away, ready to leave and carrying a new confidence with him.

Misendeavor: 'I'll wait for you...Candles burning and the flags of home flying...' She'd have food, blankets..first aid supplies..Everything that could be needed, anything to keep her busy to pass the hours. 'Jaimin...' Reaching to stop him from leaving just yet...Even as she's blinking back tears she knows will fall like rain the moment he leaves. For the moment though, she is strong, the woman she wants him to take with him in heart and mind. Finding her poise, graceful and unbending to reach for him, to pull him into her arms for one kiss that neither will soon forgte, so full of conflicting emotions that mess into one glorious wild abandon of a kiss, merging hope and strength and passion with him...Only then, when she can't breath from the power of it does she step back, folding her arms about her chest to watch him leave 'I'll see you when you get back.' Like he was just going out for a pint of milk, the I love you in her eyes.

FlashGuardian13: Jaimin looks back, and swiftly finds himself being drawn into a kiss that all but makes him forget his task, kissing like there would be no others, yet even finding a strength that blossoms there, her love more potent than any shield he could hope to carry with him as he departs for the unholy lands. He smiles back at her, nodding. "Be back soon." He turns to go, yet stops and swivels on his feet, turning back to face her with a finger raised and mouth open for clarification. "Ummm ... don't be surprised if I come back a little bruised. Demon lords don't usually play nice." His teeth are gritted in a pre-emptive apology, his lighter side showing through the comical look on his face. Indeed, she can almost see the expectation in his eyes ... is he looking forward to this just a little?

Misendeavor: 'Just come home, the rest we can work on..And play nice with the poor little demonlords, I doubt they are expecting Jaimin...He's a stronger man than Flash ever was.' There's a playful smile in her eyes ,the fear knotted back into a ball nad bounced idlely in the back of her mind as she lets the last moments be ones of joy and love. Her palm lifted to her lips, kissed by smiling lips that leave a rainbow reflection of them, the rainbow kiss winging it's way to his chest as she blows it free of her hand 'I'll be right there with you..Now get going, before they get a chance to have a welcome party.' The hardest thing she's ever done...bar none.

FlashGuardian13: Jaimin laughs openly at that, happy to leave on such a light note. He pouts as she tells him to fight fair, his lower lip sticking out just a little in mock disappointment. He snares the kiss in his hand as it floats past, if such is possible, and moves to place it in the pouch that hangs from his side at all times. "One for the road," he says, his eyes lingering to her for one moment more ... then, without looking back, he turns away and walks out, the door shutting him out of Anwyn's sight.

Misendeavor: 'it wasn't for the road...It was for you...' A shout after him, though he's out of sight 'You give it to the road and I'll be very dissapointed when you get back!' Her laugh, wanting to send him off bouyant and hopeful. Even as the Dojo suddenly feels abandoned and empty...Like a house that was once a home. Her footsteps ring like thunder in the wilent place as she moves to start to practise her Crane Style. So much frustration, fear and anxiety to work out of her system.

FlashGuardian13: ((Good ending there?))

Misendeavor: ((Aye aye))

FlashGuardian13: ((*smiles* Just the kind of sending off he'd have wanted. Heartfelt, yet light.))

Misendeavor: ((She knows...She did it for him...She didn't want to be the clinging weeping wailing type...That's not hr))

FlashGuardian13: ((And he wanted to reassure her as much as he can. He doesn't want her to be afraid, even if he is just a little.))

Misendeavor: ((She is afraid, she will be afraid till he g ets back...Well until he gets back and she sees him..She knows he has to care for Glyniss, and she's making herself scarce... Feeling awakard and out fo her depth))

FlashGuardian13: ((Oh? I would have thought she'd wanted to be there ... he came back pretty badly hurt, after all. Took a good solid whack to his chest from the demon lord's halberd (the handle, fortunately, and not the blade). Not to mention various burn marks, especially on his left hand and foot. Bruises, too, from where he got hit with falling stones.

Misendeavor: I meant when things have calmed down...With Flash and Glyniss..If he's hurt..well it'd take hell to keep her away...She'll heal him, even tjhough she's exhausted....And she'll stay with him ...Fall asleep in a chair watching him no doubt. FlashGuardian13: Flash will be very happy to see her ... and of course he'll play tough guy and belittle his injuries, knowing it won't do any good. As exhausted as he is, I think he'd still find the energy to scoop her up out of her chair and carry her back to bed. Only so much they could do for Glyniss after she was brought back. She looked like hell, no pun intended.

Misendeavor: *Chuckles* Bad pun anyway...And..She'll be there for him, holding him close to her heartbeat, being hte strong one, stroking his hair, insisting on bathing him clean and then curling into bed with him..She'll not even cry til lhis asleep.

FlashGuardian13: *shakes head* See, that's going to be difficult. There will be far too much going through Flash's head for him to fall asleep with any kind of ease. The rigors of hell, combined with the sight of Glyniss, and the knowledge of everything that happened to her ... no way his mind will let go that easily. So maybe he would hear her crying ...

Misendeavor: It's relief though, not pain, healing tears...ters for what he's seen, for his pain and thankful that he's home..Stroking his hair all the while, gentling him as one would a nervous beast

FlashGuardian13: *heartfelt smile* Next to that, perhaps he would find peace after all. Perhaps it would take a while, but I think she would manage to put his heart at ease. Enough for him to finally fall asleep.

Misendeavor: She'll lay with him, and soothe him for as long as it takes, there's no where on any earth she'd be but by his side, her head on his shoulder, whispering soft promises about the future, and telling him how the tree they planted grows..

FlashGuardian13: And he ... he would whisper back to her about how grateful he was. How she saved him and the others from a raging torrent of lava, and gave him the strength he needed to go on. Kisses, wonderful kisses to show his gratitude ... to still her heart as well as her lips. He knows of the tree ... he saw it when she 'embraced' him from afar.

Misendeavor: 'My strength is always yours...Just as yours is always mine, Jaimin...That is what we are to the other...Everything.' Hushed little kisses that spiral into hushed big kisses, fingers stroking cheek, neck, shoulder, chest, just to really convince herself he's there. 'Besides, I told you I'd be there...I promised to take eveystep with you..Of course I was there, I did what little I could...' Not saying how much it had cost, how tired and weak her own powers were now, it didn't matter...Only this mattered, the closeness, the touch, the embrace of flesh as well as spirit.

FlashGuardian13: "The little you did made a lot of difference. I can't thank you enough." He strokes her head even as he holds her to him. "We both fulfilled our promises. And now we get to rest. Tomorrow is another day, and we'll both need our strength. Sleep, love."

Misendeavor: 'I'll sleep when you do..' Though she's yawning as she speaks, her cheek nuzzling into his chest, the reassuring lullaby of his heartbeat settling her even as her fingers stroke across his skin, into his hair, those vivid eyes of hers closing gently as a candle flickering out 'I love you..' She'd never tire of saying it, even as it was her swansong before sleep claimed her, so small and vulnerable in rest, trusting and giving. Her sleep peaceful with his warmth so near. FlashGuardian13: "As I love you," he replies, even as his own eyes drift closed, the pair falling into peaceful slumber together. Just like any other night.

Misendeavor: ((Awwwwww))

FlashGuardian13: ((^_^ Nice little tidbit there.))

Misendeavor: ((Couldn't resist))

FlashGuardian13: ((*grins* Glad you didn't! And now, I needs food. brb))

Misendeavor: ((Okay hon))

FlashGuardian13: ((Back, with Ravioli. :-P))

Misendeavor: ((Hungry now))

FlashGuardian13: ((*chuckles* Sorry ...))

Misendeavor: ((I'll run out for a roll soon, sorry aboiut the wait I was cahtting over drug culture with the codotor))

Misendeavor: ((Doctor))

FlashGuardian13: ((Ahhh, okay. No worries.))

Misendeavor: ((We were basically just chatting, I got be smart which rarely happens =P))

FlashGuardian13: ((Oh? Congrats! *cheers*))

Misendeavor: ((*chuckles* I don't gt to natter over obscure things like the Historical effects of drugs in the UK))

Misendeavor: ((And the permissive nature of society when teamed with the acceptance of alcohol over the legalisation of canabis))

FlashGuardian13: Ooooo, a subject which I know very little about! Not that such subjects are uncommon ...

Misendeavor: *Chuckles* Well I work with addicts, have younger siblings who are exdperimenting with alcohol culture and have more than a passing interest in history and sociology..So right up my alley

FlashGuardian13: Ahhhh, no wonder. Hope he had some good advice or thoughts for you?

Misendeavor: And well we were really just discussing it as equals...Oddly enough

Misendeavor: He was giving some anecdotes from his time as a Police Surgeon...And I was from my own experience. It was a nice way to pass 30 mins

FlashGuardian13: Wow, cool. Isn't that a nice feeling? Knowing you can keep up with someone else in a conversation like that?

Misendeavor: I've always been a talker, jsut rarely get the chance these dyas..I used to be onthe debating team at school and college.

FlashGuardian13: Ahhhh, yes. I think I remember you telling me that.

Misendeavor: It just means I'm a mouthy opinionated cow =P

FlashGuardian13: There are times when I like debate, and other times where I don't. I don't usually like being asked what my opinion is on something.

Misendeavor: See that's the thing with debate...It's not often your own opinion

Misendeavor: It's like Roleplay in a way...taking a convincing line of arguments and weaving them into a workable plot

FlashGuardian13: Mmmmm ... *shakes head* I walk the middle ground far too often to choose any given side.

Misendeavor: I live on the fence =P Misendeavor: That's why I find discussion fun...It broadens my ideas

FlashGuardian13: *ponders* Maybe I just have the wrong idea about debate ... or maybe I tie it too closely to politics, which I rather despise.

Misendeavor: Politics and I don't get on..At all. Maybe you've just been exposed to the wrong types of debate

FlashGuardian13: Perhaps ... care to give me an example of the kinds of debate you like?

Misendeavor: I Will do, but rigtht now I'm going for lunch =) Misendeavor: *Hugs* See ya later, in case you're gone when I get back Misendeavor signed off at 5:21:24 AM. Misendeavor signed on at 5:57:48 AM. Misendeavor: Still awake?

FlashGuardian13: *nods* Apparently so.

Misendeavor: It's a illusion I say!

FlashGuardian13: *blinks* Oh wait ... you're right. I'm actually asleep. Sorry.

Misendeavor: *Chuckles*

FlashGuardian13: In reality, I should be asleep. I get my day off tomorrow.

Misendeavor: Day offs are good...I'm so wishing it was friday

FlashGuardian13: *wobbles* It'll get to your weekend soon enough.

FlashGuardian13: Oh ... wanna see something? I just put it up.

Misendeavor: Thank fully, just worn out today...And Sure

FlashGuardian13: http://www.geocities.com/flashguardian/keeplogs/misc/D ojoTour.html

Misendeavor: Oooooooooh

FlashGuardian13: You likes?

Misendeavor: Mmmmhmm =) reading now too

FlashGuardian13: The descriptions will all need some work ... but everything is there to work on now. And pictures! (liberally swiped from various out of the way internet locations.)

Misendeavor: there's no cliff... *shocked horror*

FlashGuardian13: There wasn't one ... until we made one for the plant to grow upon. So now I'll need to write that in.

Misendeavor: There was...Flash was diving from one..

Misendeavor: In one of the logs =P

FlashGuardian13: *blinks* He was? When was this?

Misendeavor: Um...I'm not sure but I'm sure I saw it

FlashGuardian13: *shrugs* Oh well. Doesn't matter, as there's a cliff now. ^_^

Misendeavor: *Chuckles* Exactly =P

FlashGuardian13: Besides, I did just say the descriptions would all need some work. And as I add more to the island, I'll need to add more to the tour page. The house, for instance.

Misendeavor: It'd be nice to have descriptions of people you may see too..Like Anwyn's an NPC normally...But she'd always be on Redfang somewhere

FlashGuardian13: *nods* That would be neat ... wonder how I'd fit something like that in. Maybe some kind of student's roster on the bulletin board?

Misendeavor: Aye that could work... *Smiles* Misendeavor: She's determined to learn as quickly as she can, she wants to teach eventually

FlashGuardian13: *beams* So many wonderful plans for this place. I hope I can get them all worked out.

Misendeavor: You can =) I mean...There are at elast two characters..Flash and Anwyn who seem set to be life long inhabitants...Her dream is to tach alongside him

FlashGuardian13: *nod* Just as long as I'm not dreaming alone ... then it's not a dream. It's a reality.

FlashGuardian13: Oi ... I'm for bed. Fading fas.t

Misendeavor: *Hugs* Night hon

FlashGuardian13: Thanks, Lei. Enjoy the rest of your day, and see you tomorrow.

Misendeavor: See ya, sweetie
