Shall we take bets on whether or not zombies are the worst thing we'll see this year?

[Horst is lounging on a couch near a fire, a book open and on his chest.]

I realized, with all the new arrivals especially, we have a pool of unusual skills here. Would anyone be willing to teach a few classes? For instance: I could teach...oh, bar tending. Card dealing. Physics and labwork--you know, whatever there is interest for.

The ponies could teach 'Frolicking 101'. The angels could teach 'Offending Someone in Two Words or Less'.



[PRIVATE to RACHEL]

Have you done opera at all?

[She gives a vague little shrug.] I don't know when it'll happen.

[He nods slightly.]

Would you like some company?

[gotbackupagain.livejournal.com]

It.. Might be nice.

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Well, I am offering. And I'll stay until.... [short pause] ...until you tell me to go.

[Video]

[sarinotfromhell.livejournal.com]

I didn't.

[Have a smirk in return.]

Gran Pulse, or the world below as some like to call it. Though it's possible you've never even heard of it.

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

I can't say I have, no. Although I always was terrible at geography.

What's it like?

[She's quiet for a while. On the one hand... Having someone see her in this sort of state was a little unnerving. If only because she'd never actually.. thought of being in such a state. On the other hand... She really didn't want to be alone.]

Until I tell you to go. [Just a little smile.]

I promise. [He smiles back, and sits up off the couch, begins gathering a few things.]

Remind me where you live?

[Guilty looks don't work on her. ...much.] I'd say his siblings are keeping him a bit busy at the moment.

Funny, isn't it? Angels, demons, vampires or whatever, our worst problems are all basically family issues. [Her tone is between bitter and amused.]

I take it the Animus didn't contact Johannes back either, hmm?

How to make candy? Um, I tried chocolates with Mako-chan once...

[She fiddles lazily, eventually hitting the coordinates button. Just one of the Greek Houses.]

There.

[Video]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Well, that could be your class!

[Video]

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

[A small smirk.] Oh? So you finally found that four leaved clover?

What were you reading then? [Bookworm, you can't change her.]

[Video//Private//Unhackable]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

If they have, he hasn't told me.

[He chuckles, though, and goes back to the other topic.]

I think family issues are the only ones that affect us years after they start. ...You know you're my family here, don't you?

[Video]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

Ummm... last time I did a cooking class... how should I say this....

[Usagi turns this way and that in the embarrassment of her admission.]

[Video]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

It was under the couch cushions the whole time!

[He lifts the books, so she can see] It's a collection of German operas, actually. Most of the pages are burned or torn out.

[Video]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

...You...burned a house down? [Just guessing here.]

[sarinotfromhell.livejournal.com]

[She smiles fondly, but is suddenly a little distant.]

It's beautiful. Beautiful and nothing like this mess. Very green. Wild, perfect. The skies are blue, the air is pure, and the water is sweeter than any you'd ever taste anywhere else.

[She pauses, trying to collect more thoughts.]

You could...stand out in the sun, let the rays warm your skin and forget your worries for those moments. Or you could stand at the edge of a cliff and just see for miles. Never has a place made me feel so free, so alive by just being there. It's...it's in my blood, a part of me and gods, I can only pray I'll see it again soon.

[And when she does, she'll be with Vanille again. That's all that matters.]

[Offline FOREVER]

[Horst arrives only a few minutes later with a blanket, some books, a deck of cards, and some fruit. He knocks and walks in, so she won't have to get up and answer.]

You'd probably have noticed if he'd gotten a fully equipped lab over night.

[She knows. Because she feels the same. And sometimes that scares her to the core. She hasn't seen her favorite vampire for a whole week and she's already feeling... withdrawal symptoms. It's weird for her.]

Is that a byroad to tell me you have some issues with me that you'd like to talk about?

[Video//Private//Unhackable]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

If I say yes, will you come visit?

[1/2] [Video]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

Not that! [Geez, give her some credit.]

[Video]

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

[She peers at the books.] You like operas? I didn't know. [And you didn't particularly strike her as the type but she won't say that out loud.] Which one's your favorite?

[2/2] [Video]

[And then the truth comes out, as she taps her fingers together, studying them with a repentant look.]

But they kind of told us not to come back to the TV studio ever again.

[gotbackupagain.livejournal.com]

[After the boost from Castiel she could have gotten the door, but since he's just coming in- No worries. Still curled up on the couch, same shirt and jacket she always wore- too much work to change. Don't worry, she's clean.]

Hello there.
