Still here. Got a nasty cut on the bridge of my nose from hitting it with a window while shutting them, but okay otherwise. Thanks for asking.

OOC:: presses on bridge of nose... nose bleeds seem to be the sympton these days.  David, my dad now you.... hmmm conspiracy?


BIC::  As P.T. bends down to pick up his skateboard, he gently rubs between the cats' ears that has entertwined between his legs.  Raising up, he very nervously presses the door bell a few times and then holds his skateboard with both hands to keep it from falling from his shaking hands.

The door opened to reveal a rather sleepy looking blond man around nineteen or twenty, in a pair of Red Hot Chili Peppers boxers.   The man yawns and says, "The cats said that you are here to see Lorna."  He yawned again and pointed toward a set of double doors leading deeper into the house that could best be described as a mansion.  Looking down at the cat, he meowed something and and the looked back at you, "Follow Bigvynn, and he'll show where she is."   Then without another word, he turned and headed back up the stairs scratching himself.  As he rounded the corner at the top of the stairs, PT could have sworn he saw a tiger's tail drop out of the back of his boxers.

[Tuskariah]

P.T. releases his isp mask with obvious concern on his face as he watches the young man turn to walk back up the stairs. With alot of fear building in his mind, he uses his telepathy on the young man but the only thoughts that seem to get through is over-ridingly of 'sleep...must sleep'. He thinks, 'Well, at least that still works. Wonder why my mind block isn't? or why did I not realize the scan? Am I losing my abilities?'
The thoughts race through P.T's brain rapidly and his fear grows exponentially with each second. He glances unconsciously down at the cat which seems to have greater psyhic abilities than his own and he swallows hard. Swallowing his fear. He closes the front door and follows the cat slowly into the darkened house toward the double doors, to his awaiting fate gripping his skateboard in both hands tightly.

The cat padded toward a pair of French doors led to a patio beyond.  As he entered the well manicured back garden, PT was hit with a rush of LIFE! from all around him.  Even in EArly March in NOrthern Michigan, he felt as if Spring were in full force.  The cherry trees were in full blossom, and the grass that was dull and brown and snow covered over the rest of the city was full and lush.  Hummingbirds darted around the lawn, and the tall woman who winked at him earlier was on her knees digging in the rich dark earth surrounding an ornamental pond.

Blowing a stray lock of her raven colored hair back out of her face she smiled up at PT and said, "Hello."

P.T. studders at a lost for words for the first time in his brief lifetime.
"Uh...uh...uh...hi?"
After a few seconds and no lightning striking him down, he gains some confidence.
"Mrs. Lorna, I am sorry to disturb you at home. But.." He digs in his backpack till he finds the card advertising the convenant house. Holding it out so she can see what he is holding. "I..uh...well, I...uh did you maybe uh...drop this? Yesterday at Copernicus? You winked...."

Her laughter reminded PT of the sound of a tinkling brook as she smiled and said, "So I did."  Taking the card from PT's hand she looked at it and shook her head.  "No, I've never seen it before, although I've heard of Covenant House. They do good work and several of my friends and I donate to their cause."  She gave him a knowing look, and then over at his backpack.  "However, I think you probably DO need a place to stay."

Standing up, she handed PT the card back and then pulled off the gloves she was wearing.  "I'll bet neither Leif nor Corbin are up and about yet.  Have you had breakfast?"

[color=#66fff]" Yes ma'am. I have. I had breakfast with a blind man that is wandering near where I am staying. Thank you for asking, though."[/color] He pauses and enjoys the brightness of life about him, with a deep breath he says.
[color=#66fff]"...How well the skilful gardener drew
Of flowers and herbs this dial new,
Where, from above, the milder sun
Does through a fragrant zodiac run;
And, as it works, the industrious bee
Computes its time as well as we.
How could such sweet and wholesome hours
Be reckoned but with herbs and flowers.

I doubt Mr. Andrew Marvell ever saw your garden, ma'am. For your's it immensely finer than of the one he spoke. Hmm, I'm sorry to have disturbed you at home, ma'am. I can see myself out, no need to get up." {the following he says in greek} "We have but faith: we cannot know, for knowledge is of things we see;"[/color]

P.T. watches her reaction to his speaking in greek and tries softly a telepathic probe of her thoughts.

P.T. watches her reaction to his speaking in greek and tries softly a telepathic probe of her thoughts.

"Please don't leave, she said.  At least join me in some juice and coffee.   I'm curious as to what brought you here.  YOu are obviously something of an enigma."  She looked around at all the cats that seemed to have ended up in the back yard with PT.  "And Leif's cats obviously like you.  I would like to know more about you, and maybe I can help you with the Covenant House."

The gentle probe reveals a well disciplined and POWERFURL mind. Although it is obvious that she has a mind shield, it is not up at this time.  It is as if much of her mind is laid open for you to see that she is being honest with you.  There are areas that are shielded, but for the most part, PT can tell those have to do with personal issues.  He did manage to pick up one stray thought, How liike Noah, he is, even on the streets.  I wonder how many of ours will end up like that before they are found.  The gift they bear is hard enough.

[Tuskariah]

"Ok.  I guess I'll take some juice then.  Grapefruit?"  P.T. pauses for her nod.  "There is not much to tell, really.  I was actually trying to help the authorities find that missing A11 giant robot but I found a scary house over at the university, the Trilamda house instead.  He begins to speak alittle faster. "I didn't want to go in there alone!  It was dark too.  A little faster...."I found this card advertising the convent house and the first time that I recall seeing it was shortly after I saw you yesterday and I didn't know if I could come here and get out alive since you party with vampires but I needed to know who put this card in my backpack because they are obviously watching me!"  He forces himself to take several deep breathes to calm down.  "See?"  P.T. forces a strained smile.

Again, her laugh reminded PT of scattered sunshine.  She smiled again at him and said, "Then grapefruit juice it is."   She led the young man into the house, and PT could sense the wamth of the place reach out to embrace him.    Leading him into the large airy and clean kitchen area, she pointed to a table by the window and said, "It'll just take a moment."   She then began to rummage around in the fridge, and set several things out.  "I don't know about you, but I'm hungry, so I hope you don't mind if I have something while we're talking."  
Bacon, eggs, flour, milk, butter, juice, cheese, and a variety of other foodstuffs, began to pile up on the counter.  So entranced by the movements of his lovely hostess, PT failed to notice how a glass of grapefruit juice appeared at his elbow.  

Finally, as she began to cook, she said, "No, I didn't put the card there.  But if you happened to stop at the Altar of the Bean, I know that the owner of that shop has been known to give out those cards to kids he thinks might be on the street.  You see, that section of town has a high gay population, and a lot of the young men that come in there, have been kicked out of their homes for being gay.  He sort of sends them over to the Covenant House to keep them away from the chickenhawks." She shrugged, but if you haven't been over there, I really would have no idea how you might have gotten the card."

"As for the Trilambda house, I don't know.  The Trilambs are sort of Copernicus' geek fraternity.  There's no telling what you might find in their basement, but if it's the old house, that was sold a year ago.  Not sure who bought it."

"And there's no telling who might be watching you."  She stopped, put the spoon she was using down and walked over to him and gently touched his face.  He could feel a pleasant electricity run through him at the touch and she smiled.  "You could be one of the Spiritwalkers.  If that's the case, you have nothing to fear from the vampires of this or any city.  To be honest I don't know. You haven't fully come into your power yet.  ONly time will tell.  But know this, most of the city's unnatural community would give their lives defending you if you were one of ours.  The Spiritwalker's blood is too precious, and our enemies too powerful to allow another tragedy to happen.  You are safe with me and mine no matter what, PT.  Well, that is as long as you don't get between my brother, or Leif and their food. Then, you'll have to count your fingers."

[Tuskariah]

Almost visually it seems a weight lifts from his shoulders and he reaches for the juice and begins to drink. Setting the empty glass on the marbled counter, he says "Wow.".

She stopped, put the spoon she was using down and walked over to him and gently touched his face. He could feel a pleasant electricity run through him at the touch and she smiled

P.T. blushes fiercely. When she goes back to making her breakfast, P.T. says, "uh..I'm not....I mean I like girls. Well...wait." P.T. turns beet red and asks "Can we talk about something else? I do not know what a spiritwalker is but I guess what made me so nervous earlier was that I usually know if someone is thinking me. Duffus here" points to himself, "did not see the owner of the 'Bean' put the card in my backpack. Oh!  I am sorry, where are my manners.  I am Per.... P.T."

P.T. telekinetically cracks the eggs Lorna has set out into the stainless steel bowl and begins whipping them as the shells fly into the trash can.

She smiled at and backed away.  "Sorry, I just wanted to see something.  You could be one of ours.  I don't know, it would take a deeper probe than I am normally comfortable doing."  She looked over at the eggs and chuckled.  "You definitely could be a spiritwalker.  I've been told to be on the lookout for the next Pridemates.   As for being paranoid, that's a good thing.  It'll keep you alive.  It's not a nice world out there for a kid on the streets.  If you'd heard half the stories I've heard, you'd understand."  

Turning back to the breakfast she looked at the frothy eggs and said, "What ever they've done, I'm sure they're sorry and won't do it again."

[Tuskariah]

She looked over at the eggs and chuckled. "You definitely could be a spiritwalker. I've been told to be on the lookout for the next Pridemates

P.T. watches Lorna eat before politely asking. "Pridemates?  Like as in a lion's pride? uh... and with a mate?"  P.T. eyebrows raise questioningly.  "I don't think I am one of yours because I can not change into a cat.  Not that I know of anyway.  Frankly, I have never tried.  Are you a werelioness like Leif?"

P.T. nibbles on a piece of toast to keep his hands busy.

She smiled over at PT and laughed.  "Not everyone in a Pride is a werecat.  And Leif, Corbin and I are not a Pride. We are friends, and lovers, and partners, but not a Pride.  We are two scions of a Titan, and witchcat with a mission from the Goddesses. That is something totally different.  A Pride is made up of a Spiritwalker, and Elementalist, and several Werecats.  Prides do easily what we try to do as the marshal of this city.  If you are a spiritwalker then there is more coming to you, including the other half of your soul- your elementalist.  And without a very demanding group of werecats to keep them focused on the physical world, the elementalists and the spiritwalker tend to become caught up in each other."

[Tuskariah]

"Yuck.  Sounds icky to me."

"Yuck.  Sounds icky to me."

"YOu are young still, so there's no rush to these kinds of things. Right now, though I think we need to find some way to make sure you've got a safe place to live.  Do you have anything you'd like to tell me about how you got to living in the library?"

[Tuskariah]

Do you have anything you'd like to tell me about how you got to living in the library?"

"Seemed like as good a place as any.  Not many thugs hang out there either, so it is safer than most."
P.T. jumps off his stool quickly and snaps his fingers.
"I got it! I got it!  I know where the robot is!"


"Well, maybe"

Lorna raised an eyebrow as if she sensed something else.  "Where?"

[Tuskariah]

OOC :: Krista has agreed to play the pc Demon Kiss but she is concerned about not having alot of time to post.  I told her that once every other day or twice a week would be fine.  Even once a week if she had a good excuse.  That's ok isn't it?  If not then I don't think she'll play.  If so, since she has never played a role game before, I'll help her to get a personality profile in mind.  You have the stats, right?  Everything ok there?  Any changes?

[Tuskariah]

Lorna raised an eyebrow as if she sensed something else. "Where?"

P.T. rubs his chin lost in thought for a second.  With a deep sigh, he shakes his slowly from side to side.

"Nope.  Now that I think about it.  I'm being stupid."

P.T. quickly explains his research in seismic activity of the surrounding area and his belief that it would lead to the giant robot & or Shock.

"I thought that the activity under the TriLamda house would be the likely area and I still think that I need to check that out.  But anyway, your scrambled eggs is what spurred my thought.  When you dropped the spatula into the skillet the ripples dispersed throughout.  See?"

P.T. looks expectantly at Lorna before continuing.
"Well, anyway.  What disperses waves like that and would not cause any seismic activity??  Water!  I thought the robot could be hid there, but I totally forgot one thing.  ONE MAJOR THING!  I mean really! If you were going to spend googles and oodles of money on building a giant robot wouldn't you put some brakes on the silly thing?"[/i]

slaps forehead

"There will not be any seismic shocks from the robot!"

P.T. ,crestfallen, moves back onto the bar stool.

"May I have some more juice or water?"

"May I have some more juice or water?"

PT looked down at the glass he thought was empty only to find more grapefruit juice in it.  Lorna simply smiled over at him.  "Look, another new friend of ours who is also looking for this giant robot is coming over later today.  Maybe you two could pool your resources.  I'm thinking of trying to get Leif to looking to. He needs something to take his mind off some things, so maybe you all can do some good here.  I'm sure you can use the help, and I'd feel more comfortable with the idea of you having some kind of adult back-up if you're thinking of doing something dangerous."

OOC:- Sounds good.  I'm trying to steer you and John together because you both post at similar rates.  I'm going to try and keep David and Thom together because they post at a simlar rate.  I'll figure out how to work her in based on how often she seems to be positng and which story line she will fit with best."
