Issue 1 Downtime

Any of the more psychic people around the lighthouse would notice a very heavy, almost ominous presence atop it. Others in the area might also get a more unspecific willies.

Mira sat atop the lighthouse, looking over the ocean. Frowning.
((open))

He didn't exactly glow as he approached. He'd learned enough now to hide that under his clothes when he wanted while he was flying. Still, he probably registered as bright as anything to Mira as he floated up to the top of the lighthouse. Huh. So that's how the Phoenix 'looks' when I'm 'looking'...

He regarded her for a moment as drifted down. "You feel something... off, too?" Or are you what I'm feeling that's off.

Posted: **Tue Dec 30, 2014 9:45 pm**

"Off? Other than the seam between worlds here, you mean?"

Posted: **Tue Dec 30, 2014 10:16 pm**

"Kind of used to that by now," he said, setting down on the edge of the roof. He shook his head. "Just... something feels off. THis is usually a good spot to see what it is." Not that I'm paranoid about the ocean, not at all...

Meanwhile down below, Haley wandered the grounds, wondering why she felt so....unsettled, her arms crossed in front of her against the cool fall air.

Posted: **Tue Dec 30, 2014 10:51 pm**

"I suppose it probably IS me, then. I should brood elsewhere."

Posted: **Tue Dec 30, 2014 10:54 pm**

"No, I'm pretty sure that this is the multipurpose brood spot, too," he said.

"Anything in particular that's being brooded over?"

Posted: **Wed Dec 31, 2014 6:29 pm**

"You really want to understand the contemplations of the Phoenix, sitting on the edge of tears in reality?

..It is Kevin. He is a butt."

Posted: **Wed Dec 31, 2014 6:45 pm**

"A butt? Huh. You tell me he's a clown or a dufus, I could understand what you're talking about, unless..." Ryan narrowed his eyes. "He's not cheating on you, is he?"

Posted: **Wed Dec 31, 2014 9:16 pm**

Altamira sighed. "I don't believe HE knows."

Posted: **Wed Dec 31, 2014 9:18 pm**

"Kevin? No way!"

Bear had opened the hatch to the roof, wincing as she stretched out her throwing arm.

Posted: **Wed Dec 31, 2014 9:32 pm**

"Busy night up here," Mira said, observing Bear's entrance.

Posted: **Wed Dec 31, 2014 9:36 pm**

"I hadn't noticed."

Bear rubbed her temples, obviously recovering from a sudden, unexplained headache.

Posted: **Wed Dec 31, 2014 9:39 pm**

"Okay, not that I have a lot of experience with it, but... how do you cheat on someone without knowing it?"

Posted: **Wed Dec 31, 2014 10:38 pm**

"He has spent a lot of time...seeking the favor...of another.

I don't think he understands, even after it was explained to him, what he has done."

Posted: **Wed Dec 31, 2014 10:40 pm**

"Soooo... you're jealous and he isn't fixing that." Ryan couldn't help smirking a bit knowingly.

Posted: **Wed Dec 31, 2014 10:48 pm**

"It isn't proper," she "corrected". "The Phoenix does not get jealous."

The Phoenix may also have a bridge to sell you.

Posted: **Wed Dec 31, 2014 10:50 pm**

"Of coruse not," Ryan said, fighting back a smirk. "But the Phoenix, I suppose, might behave like that in her need to blend in with all of the common human's she's forced to cohabit with. In which case it's completely improper for him to not respond to her efforts."

Posted: **Wed Dec 31, 2014 11:02 pm**

"Time to be honest with him, Mira. Tell him you are jealous, but build him up while you do so. Then brand him. No, skip that."

Bear smiled.

Posted: **Wed Dec 31, 2014 11:02 pm**

"Branding never works. Trust me. Chick in Madripoor tried it."

Posted: **Wed Dec 31, 2014 11:30 pm**

"It worked alright with Sean..." she mused.

Posted: **Wed Dec 31, 2014 11:31 pm**

"Wait, you branded Sean?"

Posted: **Wed Dec 31, 2014 11:32 pm**

"Bear's jaw dropped.

Posted: **Wed Dec 31, 2014 11:38 pm**

"A small one! To prevent him from harm."

Posted: **Wed Dec 31, 2014 11:41 pm**

"...I'm forced to ask where, just for comparison's sake."

Posted: **Thu Jan 01, 2015 12:18 am**

"Small of the back. If he ever returns, he can show it to you."

Posted: **Thu Jan 01, 2015 1:19 am**

"Okay, so anyway," Ryan said, moving along from the branding subject. "Want me to rough him up? Stepping out on your girl is pretty damn low," Ryan joked. Well, mostly joked.

Posted: **Thu Jan 01, 2015 1:46 am**

"Hrm? Oh, no, no. He's far too pretty to beat up."

Posted: **Thu Jan 01, 2015 1:53 am**

"I could do it without leaving marks," he offered with a smirk. "All the pain of a hard-earned lesson, and still presentable in public."

Posted: **Thu Jan 01, 2015 6:52 pm**

Mira seemed to seriously consider this for a moment.

"No," she sighed, at last. "I'm afraid it wouldn't work."

Posted: **Thu Jan 01, 2015 9:24 pm**

Bear sighed.

"You need to be direct with him. Maybe more then he is used to."

Posted: **Thu Jan 01, 2015 10:06 pm**

"I'm not sure I understand."

Posted: **Thu Jan 01, 2015 10:18 pm**

Bear put on her best omnipotent, phoenixy voice,

"Kevin, I do not like you paying so much attention to other girls. Please stop."

Posted: **Fri Jan 02, 2015 2:40 pm**

"I..believe...I said....something like that..."

Posted: **Fri Jan 02, 2015 8:19 pm**

"Like that? As in the same idea, but more subtle?"

Posted: **Fri Jan 02, 2015 9:08 pm**

"As in most of those words were probably there,in some format.." she hedged.

Posted: **Fri Jan 02, 2015 9:12 pm**

"Yeah, try saying it exactly like she said it, so that it can't get filtered by the 'I'll hear it how I want to hear it' guy-filter."

Posted: **Sat Jan 03, 2015 3:17 pm**

"Guy filter?" Mira asked, confused.

Posted: **Sat Jan 03, 2015 6:22 pm**

"The tendency of guys to convince themselves that any wiggle room in what you say means you don't mean it in any way that means they have to stop what they're doing."

"In other words, the way that guys can be stupid."

Posted: **Sat Jan 03, 2015 11:41 pm**

"So, you're saying this is a boy thing, rather than a human thing."
