Last time on Section M: Everyone's favorite marine Archer was put in charge of the team and the first thing everyone was able to do was show and tell! That night Jess had to have her super big special slumber party thingy. [Friday, January 13, 2063] [Inside Jess and Scratch's room] [Session start] * Jess is hurrying around getting all the snacks ready and she has her videos laid out ready to go, every single one of them a girly tear jerk movie all about how love is wonderful and girls are delicate flowers to be cherished. * Scratch is in his bedroom with the door closed and has been for some time. Under normal circumstances he would not be seen again until it is time for his morning jog. * Crow knocks on the door to Jess's apartment. You can tell it's Crow; only he'd find a way to knock in a manner that'd sound like the 'Pixi Raiders' latest love hit. Complete with tonality. Maybe he used magic? oooh!oohooh! come in! everything is ready! Except for scratch... I hope he comes out in a cute new outfit! * Scratch does nothing of the sort. * Cara kicks the door instead of knocking since her arms are holding her blanket, a pillow, and a couple magazines. * Tanya scans her shelf of stuff, and selects a few classics before joining Crow in the hallway. She's carrying a handful of movies, an assorted variety of classics that are definitely *nod* tear-jerkers. * Crow opens the door - which turns out to be quite the exercise in dexterity, as he's got a duffle bag and two backpacks in one arm and on his back. "Hey! Tanya thought we should bring over these vids to share. I can't vouch for the quality, myself," he says as he comes on in. His cupid outfit has changed; now it's got red pants and a white shirt, and the colors on the sash are inverted. He seems to have added a red top hat with a white band around the base, too. * Crow dumps the two backpacks on the floor next to the whatever passes for a TV in this crazy future world, and dumps his duffle in a corner somewhere. Then he stretches, popping joints all over the place. "Ah. Well, then. Who's still missing?" * Cara follows Crow in and places her stuff in a spot where she can have a good view of the TV and have something to rest her back against. You two are the only ones that's show.. HI CARA! Oh I hope scratch comes out soon. * Tanya drops her own backpack, pillow, and comforter on the floor. "Well, they're entertaining movies. Sometimes, part of the fun is laughing at how bad they are." * Scratch does not come out. Scratch might like this one. It's a military war movie. Oooh I'm so happy you could all make it! I've also got a martial arts flick, made by the little dragon himself. l....little dragon? Scratch made a martial arts flick? * Crow goes over to the closed bedroom door and knocks. "Hey! Scratch! Tanya found that movie you made!" Nah. Bruce Lee, sillies. In his time, he was called 'the little dragon' due to his stature. * Crow makes an exaggerated shushing gesture at Tanya, winking. * Cara takes her magazines and lays them out on the table. "Could be interesting. I haven't really watched many of those types of movies." * Scratch 's door yields no answer. He probably wants to be left alone. * Tanya hands Jess the movies. * Jess giggles taking them getting them laid out with the others. * Cara settles into a chair. "So what do we have in the way of refreshments here?" * Crow has already dug into the Fritos, and has claimed a 2-liter of grape soda. "Come and see. Jess has quite a spread." Oooh I got soda and punch and juice and popcorn and bonbons and fancy chocolates and sour thingies... Ooh, popcorn? Where!? * Tanya spreads out her comforter on the floor in front of the couch. "Got any jelly beans?" And how long are we going to wait for Fallone to get here? I'm eager to get this started. Nooo...I don't think so... and I don't know every one should be here. Like scratch. Let's lock up; Fallone can knock to get in. *grins behind his hand as he stuffs his mouth full of popcorn* OKAY! * Jess skips over to lock the door. * Cara removes her collar. Never liked that thing around her neck anyway. Let me see if I can drag Scratch out. I can be persuasive if I want to be. * Crow takes his off, too, and drops it on his duffle bag. He immediately takes to the air, hovering a few inches off the ground. "Ah, good to get off my feet. Have at 'im, Cara!" * Tanya removes her own collar, and walks through the couch to the snacks. "Ah, good. Diet." * Cara walks over and knocks on the door. "You sure you won't come out and join us?" * Scratch 's door again yields no response. Knowing Scratch's schedule, he's probably asleep. * Crow takes a big swig from his commandeered 2-liter, floating on his back. "I don't know how you drink that stuff, Tanya. You'd think with decades of practice they'd make it taste like the real thing, but ugh." * Cara concentrates and shifts into her air form. You know, the one that lets her go through walls? Hey, I don't like the aftertaste, either, but I gotta watch my figure. * Crow chuckles. "I'm sure you're not the only one watching your figure." * Cara pokes her head through the door to take a good look at what Scratch is doing that is keeping him from joining the fun. Why not just go for juice, then? I think those sugars burn off faster. At least, I am always hungrier faster after juice than soda. * Scratch 's room is completely dark. No ambient light or sound is noticeable at all. What, and miss out on the caffeine? * Cara pokes about the room a bit. Knocking over something if necessary to rouse a response out of Scratch. I thought that's what coffee and tea were for. Though Spring is a pretty heady 'get up and go' beverage, I must say. ...I'm glad I don't see any here. Can you imagine Jess on that...? * Jess sighs and puts in a movie without looking to flop down and start eating popcorn... * Crow lays prone on his stomach in the air, hovering so his head is just next to and above Jess's. "What's wrong?" Oh...just...still sad over Tiff. * Scratch 's room feels open and uncluttered for the most part. There is zero air flow in the room and the air inside is warmer and stuffy compared to the common room. Before Cara can find anything to knock over a raspy voice growls in a low tone, ".. Get.. Out.." Interesting choice to start the night, Jess. The 2056 remake of Dracula. Blood, romance, fangs, sky-high creep-factor, and check out that one guy's Texas drawl. The drawl kinda gets a gal hot and bothered. Oh. She is coming tonight, isn't she? * Jess looks at the screen just to see something a mild bit horrorish. "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!" with that she's clinging to Crow. * Cara wisps out of Scratch's room. "He's being grouchy. I doubt he'd be much fun anyway." Did you tell him we're not watching a chick flick? * Crow gurks and is pulled face-down into the couch, with Jess underneath him. His legs are up in the air with his stomach flat against the back of the couch. His back pops alarmingly, but he just chuckles into whatever part of Jess his face is pressed. He seems to be rather jerk-ish right now. I doubt we could bribe him out with anything. Let me try. There's a loud thudding noise against the door that's trying to be a knock. * Jess suddenly goes limp under crow. "Scratch hates me..." * Tanya gets up, and zips through the door into Scratch's room. * Crow carefully attempts to pick himself up, so as to not be pinning Jess to the couch. Or be pinned their by her grasp. He's missing the movie, what with the only thing he can see being Jess's torso. "Nah, he's just shy." * Cara drifts over to the refreshment table and reforms into her base form. Hard to drink soda in air form. Hey. Not joining the party? ....was that a knock? * Cara picks up one of the bottles off the table. "Hey, you remembered my favorite flavor." There's another thumping at the door and a muffled "Heeelp..." * The room is as warm as before, a distinct musk permeates the still air. Some quiet rustling can be heard like scraping against carpet around different corners of the room. The same low voice begins to growl...* I believe it was. *extricates himself from Jess, and drifts over to put on his collar. Forgetting to land first means he *thuds* loudly and painfully- sounding* Oops. ^^; Hey! Tanya! Cara! Collars on! Keep... Out... Oh, 'scuse me. You know, it wouldn't hurt to at least come out for a few minutes to say hi to everyone. * Cara puts her collar on. Someone's at the door apparently. * Tanya zips back out the door, and nestles into the comforter, groping around for her collar. Soon there's another thud sound and the voice says "Jess..." He's in dragon-form, I think. Is that room big enough for that? Coming! COMING! We need our collars on *Runs to unlock the door* * Tanya finds a collar, and slips it on. * The bassy tones of an annoyed growling gently reverberate away from Scratch's door. * * Cara proceeds to pour herself a cup from the bottle. "Wonder who that could be." Fallone? * Crow carefully reopens his bottle of grape soda, making sure the fall hasn't shaken it into explosive capacity, and takes another swig. There's a mass of bags and foil wrapped containers at the door. There might be a Tiff underneath it all but Jess isn't quite sure yet. Tiff what happened? Jess...? I started making snacks and you said there was going to be lots and lots of people so... I uh... I hope it's not too much... * Tanya hits pause on the movie remote. Ironically enough, it's frozen on the shot of the blonde vampire about to bite Jonathan * Tiff squeezes her mass of stuff through the door as best she can. * Crow perks up, kinda like a prairie dog out of his hole. "Food? Did you say 'food'?" No no no. Come in! * Jess smiles and helps gathering things up. * Crow rushes over to help. "You're my hero, Tiff!" * Tiff blushes and giggles. Need a hand with anything? Yeah, some of it we might want to heat up again... * Jess moves and puts things down then walks over to scratches door knocking gently, her voice soft and almost crying. "Scratch...I know you don't like me but...please at least come out. For the team? Please?" Her voice quivers the whole time. * Tanya stands up. "Cara can help with that, if you like things char-broiled." * Tanya helps Tiff move stuff to the table. * Crow hastens to get stuff on the snack table, and goes to lock the door. "Now, let's get these things off again, shall we?" he asks, already flying over to drop his collar on his duffle bag once more. Yeah, I don't really do a controlled burn. I think we should use the microwave. There's hot wings and egg rolls and quesadillas and a salad and rice and... (the list just goes on.) Feel free to have as much as you like! * Crow eyes the food hungrily. It'll be lucky to make it to the microwave if he's put in charge of heating it. Don't tell Crow that. There won't be anything left for the rest of us. Hey! * Tiff finally gets a chance to look around after setting everything down. "Is... is this it? I'm sorry! I made too much!" She can't help but pout at that. I assure you, it'll be eaten, fair maiden. *bows gallantly in mid-air* If anything, you may not have made enough. * Tiff smiles. "Well as long as you enjoy it." Does... does he eat a lot? * Cara grabs some food and takes off for the microwave so that she doesn't have to wait in line for it. * Tanya takes a plate of quesadillas and settles into her comforter. "Lemme know when we can turn the movie back on." Ooh, what are you guys watching? Something about bats. Dracula! * Tiff moves into the main room and flops onto the couch. Hold on, Tanya... Isn't that scary? It's a classic, and a decent remake. Quite close to the book. There's no blood is there? Romance, fangs, sky-high creep factor, and one hell of a sexy drawl on the Texan. And yeah, some blood. It's a vampire movie; blood's part of the thrill. * Crow floats over to just behind the couch, and creates a full-length mirror, which he carefully stands and positions. He then moves to position another mirror or two such that the TV is reflected at Scratch's door. Taking a couple moments to finish off his 2-liter, he makes an exaggerated 'sh' motion as he floats over to the dragon's door. * Jess is still standing there lip quivering. But but... *she looks to Jess* * Jess is staring at the door, the thought of the movie gone. ANY one that knows Jess knows she didn't pick this * Crow winks at Jess. "Go on over to the couch," he whispers, "He'll be joining us, don't worry." * Crow smiles down at the girl. Hovering a few inches off the ground does wonders for apparent height. * Cara takes her food out of the microwave after it dings and settles into her pile of blanket and pillow. "The food looks good Tiff." She then takes a bite of a quesadilla. "Tastes good too." It's a classic romance. Think of it, Mina has to choose between the mortal love of Jonathan and the immortal lust of Dracula. Thank you! * Tanya lets the movie play. * Tiff can't hardly watch. Where's Mr. Scratch? * Crow taps Scratch's door, softly, and it becomes filled with eight panel- windows that let in the light - and the mirrored movie. Which has been thoughtfully reflected exactly enough times to make it right-side-around as viewed from Scratch's now-lightened room. Crow flies over the windows so he can't be seen, and goes to watch the movie with the others. * Jess goes back to the couch but stares at the door. * Tiff scooches over to Jess and whispers to her. "Is he mad?" I...I don't know. He needs his space. But... we're having a party... Oh, just give him time. He'll come out. *More growling reverberates from behind the door, louder and more annoyed that before. Several thumps and thuds can be heard from inside momentarily before suddenly the door shakes in its frame as something with some apparent weight to it falls against it. The growling and scratching becomes progressively quieter until the room finally falls silent again a moment later.* * Crow goes to look at Scratch's handiwork, and chuckles. "Girls? I think he wants us to bring the TV and movie in to join him," he says, loudly enough to carry into the room. * What Jess is able to discern is still mostly a dark room, the rustling and crashing inside is only visible as something large and wooden comes crashing against the door. * * Cara continues to eat her food and watch the show. Whether that's the movie or the whole Scratch vs. Crow ordeal, who knows. * Jess just hugs Tiff sniffling. "He hates me." But how can anyone hate you! *she sounds truly amazed by this concept* I don't think it's him hating any one person. this...this was for team unity and friendship. He's spitting on all my hard work. Well I'm just gonna go talk to him! * Crow leans down next to Jess and Tiff, and stage-whispers, "He doesn't hate you, Jess. He's just playing hard to get. You know what they say about guys who pretend they don't want to be with specific girls... And he's shy." * Tiff gets up and knocks on the door. "Mr. Scratch?" I think he just hates people invading his space. we aren't going into his space, we are out here. He should be here. For friendship. * No response is issued from Scratch's door. * * Crow snickers and goes to serve himself food. He's got one enormous plate - probably made it himself, since it doesn't look like one of Jess's or Tiff's - filled with Tiff's cooking. "...wow, this is good. Thanks, Tiff!" * Tiff knocks again. "Mr. Scratch, you open this door this instant!" She extends to her full four feet, seven inches of height. * Still no response. * If you don't come out here right now, you're going to make Jess cry and if you do I'm never gonna forgive you! He hates friendship and fun and teamwork and togetherness and... Tiff, you need to give me this recipe. Crow literally eats like a bird sometimes, and its best if he eats stuff that tastes this good. * Tiff turns to Tanya shushing her. "Quiet, I'm trying to be angry!" She stage whispers across the room. * Cara can't help but giggle at the whole situation. * Crow giggles, too, and then stuffs his face with an egg roll. He's popping one thing after another into his mouth as he watches the TV. Or is it Tiff, through the mirrors? Ooh, watch this part. Jonathan's about to escape from the Count's castle, and that's one hell of a drop. * After a moment the bookcase against the glass-pained door is removed, allowing the light to stream in revealing Scratch standing against the pitch-black backdrop of his room half-naked except for some sweat pants. His eyes are sullen and his expression somber. Slowly he opens the door to stare Tiff in the eyes. * Please refrain from attempting to contact me in my room. I heard the stunt man was like Crow, practically invulnerable. Oooooh! Scratch is in PJ's! Eee! *shields her eyes* Put some clothes on! * Jess actually runs into her room and clangs the door shut behind her. * Tanya eyes Jess. "Come on, the movie's not *that* bad." * Scratch slowly raises his gaze to Jess and the others. "Once I have resigned for the evening I prefer to be left alone. I will also ask you all the favor of refraining from ever entering my room. Whatever! Just put a shirt on and come out here! * Tiff still isn't looking. You knew we were having a party tonight. No fair claiming you'd already 'resigned for the evening.' That's cheating. * Scratch actually scowls. * Crow grins back. Is he wearing clothes yet? * Tanya chuckles. "Still topless." He's wearing clothes, yes. o/~ You know, I think Scratch may actually be scarier than the movie we're watching. He should be in movies. You know, topless may be the way to go for all of us. *grins at Crow* Ewww! * Jess comes back out in pajamas with the little feet on them and holding a poor elf that looks alive and chibi. Both her and the elf are..pink. And not uniformly pink. MAYBE Crow knew all these colors of pink existed but Jess seems to have reached into other dimensions for her pink and pink mix and it all goes together for a total effect of rotting your teeth. "PJs! How could I forget PJs?!" * Tiff grabs a pillow off the couch and baps Tanya with it. *shrug* If you insist. *his shirt vanishes, leaving his torso covered only by his sash and its attendant quiver. He's not particularly well-muscled, but he's not scrawny, either. Rather pale, though. * Ooh! I brought my new PJs too! * Tanya watches the pillow pass right through her. Eee! Jess they're getting naked! Am not! NO YUCKY NAKED! * Tiff goes back to shielding her eyes. * Scratch backs away and closes the door the door again. A moment later he re-exits and enters the common room loosely wearing an unbuttoned collared shirt along with his sweat pants. Nonplused and looking morose he stalks towards an empty seat and seats himself with noticeably less composure than he exhibits during the day. He stares at the imaginary point on the wall in front of him, saying nothing. "...." Mr. Scratch! Yay! * Tanya gets another plate, hot wings this time. * Tiff gives him a great big hug. Thanks, Scratch. ...geeze, making me look scrawny. You'll steal all the girls' attention. *pouts, and his shirt reappears* * Crow is about halfway through is platter of food by now. No hard feelings okay? *She looks up at the big guy she's hugging.* * Cara applauds. "This is better than the movie." Hey, Scratch. Just in time for the second hour of the movie. * Scratch offers no response to either person's actions/remarks. Everything about him suggests that he's just following instructions without regards to the situation. * Tiff pushes him towards Jess. "Now apologize to Jess for messing up her party!" * Scratch breaths in heavily and stretches his neck from side to side, cracking his upper-vertebrae in several places. Apology Accepted! You're here now! * Jess tackle hugs the big guy and just clings to him. * Scratch still has not uttered a word since entering the room. Aww you guys are so so cute together. * Scratch manages to maintain a standing position despite the tackle and again offers no response. * Crow offers him some of his platter. "Come on, loosen up. If you do, I'll show Archer 'proper military respect' tomorrow..." he says, cajolingly. They do make a good couple. Almost as cute as me and Crow. You and... Crow? * Jess goes BRIGHT red. * Crow looks sideways at Tanya, as if to say, "What the heck are you talking about, woman?" * Tanya gives Crow a grin, as if to say "Well, those rumors *have* to start *somehow*." * Crow grins at Tiff. "What about us?" Nah, actually, we're just roomies, Tiff. Separate bedrooms. ... Well, in this place, at least. * Scratch 's brow furrows and his left hand stretches in a manner that pops its joints audibly in various places, but he says nothing. Perhaps the situation will ameliorate given time.. I... uh... * Tiff blushes and pushes Scratch and Jess over and down onto the couch and squeezes in next to Jess hugging onto her arm. That reminds me... hey, Tiff, you doing anything tomorrow evening? Oh, and go ahead and take off your collar. Everyone else has. * Scratch acquiesces to Tiff's persuasions, though he still appears detached from the situation at hand. Tomorrow... collar... I... *she blushes more and hides her face in Jess's arm. * Jess just hugs Tiff giggling. * Crow starts in on the food again, since Scratch hasn't availed himself of any of it. The mirrors have vanished by now, and Scratch's door has reverted to its normal non-transparent state. You sure you won't have some, Scratch? Tiff's an amazing cook. No it's uh... nothing... *muffled from Jess's shoulder* So, Tiff... share some of the recipes? * Scratch 's facial expression doesn't change as he states clearly, "Thank you, no." * Crow polishes off the platter, then, and puts it down somewhere. It's not important where, the thing is gone if anyone looks for it again. He settles in on the couch, next to Tiff, but with a good ten inches between the two of them, and watches the movie. I think you should at least try the quesadillas, Scratch. Ooh, Drac's about to bite Lucy. I have a whole big book of stuff that my mom made me. I can bring it over next time if you like. I'd like to see that at least. I've never been very good at cooking, myself. * Tiff blushes more as Crow sits next to her but she's seems to be able to talk okay with everyone else. Well I can teach you guys! It'll be fun! * Tanya pulls out a deck of cards from her backpack, and starts shuffling them. Not tonight, though. The movie's just getting interesting. * Crow , as the movie gets particularly intense and spooky, sneaks one wing up behind the trio on his right, using it to slowly shadow them from the room's ceiling light as things get creepier. * Jess grins. "A game?" * Tiff turns back to the screen just as Dracula bites into someone messily and screams and hides behind Jess again. "This is too scary..." yes...it is. * Crow looks disappointed when Tiff hides behind Jess. * Scratch offers no visible reaction one way or the other. * Tanya looks up, to see Mina drinking from Drac's chest. "This is the bloodiest it'll be until the climax, guys. And then, it's Drac on the receiving end." * Cara looks visibly disgusted by all the blood on the screen. "Ugh." Can't we watch something else? It's Jess's night. I'm up for Spaceballs; though I would like to see how this ends. Is this the one where it turns out to be all the bug-eating guy's delusions? Put in...what you want... Aw, come on, Jess... Don't be that way. *leans over, conveniently cradling the girls (and Scratch) in his wing as he does so, and offers Jess a friendly smile* You're supposed to be having fun! * Tiff blushes even harder being sandwiched between Crow and Jess like that. Nah. This one is the closest to the actual book there's ever been. Even the 1993 version pales. I, um, haven't read the book. ^^; You should. Yes, it was written by a drunk Scotsman back around 1900, but it's a classic. * Scratch 's eyes narrow slightly as the wing curls around him but he continues to remain silent as he endures the evening. just...nothing scary please What about Lovely and Lonely? Jess said we were gonna watch that... I'd be for watching that. Probably better than this. * Crow leans back, pulling his wing a bit off of Scratch by hooking the 'elbow' of it just behind Jess's head, bending the rest down behind the couch. * Scratch goes back to expressionlessly studying the area in front of him. You guys have no taste for the classics. Not when they're icky! Actually, if you pay attention to the plot, without all the distracting drama we've had, it's rather romantic. Though if you just see the scary scenes, I can see why you'd call it icky. *smiles at Tiff* * Tanya gets up, and removes Dracula from the player. She shuffles through the movies, and grins. "Well, this one should work better. Chinese Connection. It's a love story, a tale of vengeance, and it kicks ass. No blood, aside from a few scratches." Oh, come on. Tiff asked for Lovely and Lonely. Let's watch that one first. * Crow 's stomach growls, and he pops up to get more food. That platter's back. Only if Jess and Tiff promise to not fall apart into tears. okay. * Jess firmly nods. enjoying people around. I promise nothing! What, you want exclusive rights to the crying? I remember the last time you watched that movie in our old room. Two entire boxes of tissues, Tanya! Two! You exaggerate! * Tiff can't help but giggle. It's okay to cry when it's so so sad! * Cara doesn't really say much, but just continues to watch the others in the room banter. *muttered* Why do you think I've been avoiding those movies. * Tanya pops in the requested movie, then hits the table for more food. You love 'em and you know it. La Blue Girl always makes you teary-eyed, too. Or was that Mysterious Play? Have you seen this before, Cara? La Blue Girl is a hentai, remember? It's sick, disgusting, and my gods can that guy have a dorkier voice-actor. No I haven't. I don't watch a whole lot of movies. I have trouble finding the time to do so. Ooh you'll like this one then! ... What's a hentai? Oh, right. And he could; I could be doing his voice. *badly, loudly, and robotically belts out some random vaguely heroic line from the show* Crow, if you'd done the voice, it would have been better. * Jess looks very confused. * Tiff looks at Jess equally confused. Now let's get this chick flick over with. *hits play* * Cara goes and returns her plate to the kitchen area and refills her drink before settling back into her pillow/blanket area. Oh come on, you know you like it. * Tanya avoids watching the movie by flipping through her tarot cards. * Crow continues scarfing down food at an alarming rate. Oddly, he's not making a mess with it. It's just disappearing into his mouth neatly and politely in vast quantities. * Tiff giggles and cries and pokes Jess knowingly at appropriate moments. * Tiff also happily watches Crow eat her cooking. Hey, Crow! Save some for us! First come, first serve! * Crow materializes an ornate golden goblet, from which he drinks something dark purplish-red. "Ahhhh." * Tanya holds out a handful of cards to Jess. "Pick one." * Jess reaches out taking one. * Tiff looks over Jess's shoulder. * Cara is too enamored with the movie to pay attention to the card drawing. And you have... The Empress. Interesting. * Jess blinks. "oh?" The Empress, the very embodiment of the female aspects of the divine: graciousness, kindness, creation, love, beauty, and all that. * Jess blushes. Hehe, that's so you Jess. * Tanya holds out the deck to Tiff. "Now you." * Tiff takes a card excitedly. * Crow watches the movie avidly, with focused attention. Oh, the Magus. The card of magic power. I'd say you're destined for greatness yourself, Tiff. And judging from what you grabbed, it's the one featuring the forces of magical balance, as opposed to the other two in this deck, representing order and chaos respectively. But... but I just make people sneezy... You'd be surprised, dear Tiffany, how useful such a talent can be. *said all mysterious-like, while watching the movie avidly* * Cara continues watching the movie. "Oh, come on. Can't you see that she's in love with you!" * Tiff turns to Cara. "Oh I know! He should just tell his dad he doesn't want to take over his business and they can run off together!" Maybe there are other talents that you have. Think of it, Tiff, you can cause people to sneeze. That means you have some control over their bodies. * Crow doesn't reply to Tiff and Cara's banter, despite being engrossed in the movie and nodding at their points about it. Try and make me cough. Not sneeze, cough. I'm not gonna do anything to you... I'm don't want to play with it... Don't be afraid of your power, Tiff! I'm not afraid! So try. Make me do something I wouldn't normally do. Cough, arm-spasm... orgasm. Anything. Eww! Stop it. I don't want to... Leave her alone. We're trying to watch a movie here. * Crow sits very quietly. Wow, that movie must be fascinating. * Tiff goes back to watching the movie. Hey, Jess, can you make that woman on the card become 'real', or can you only do it with your game cards? Tanya, may I draw a card? *still focused on the movie* Sure. *holds out the deck* Only my game cards. * Crow reaches out and draws one without even looking, holding it up for Tanya to see. Oh, Knight of Cups. *the card features a white-winged rider on a white horse, holding a chalice in his one hand; a crab is coming out of the cup* Oh, Crow, this card is so *you*. It represents a man who is amiable in a passive way, easily enthusiastic and exceedingly sensitive. On an elemental level, it represents the fiery part of water. Interesting. So I'm firewater? Funny, I don't feel like whisky. *holds up a shot glass filled with what could be said liquid* Well, Cara's the elemental one. * Tanya looks up. "Is the flick over yet?" It's barely started! [Session end]
