Moira looks protectively at Colin as she holds him.

Moira: I'm not gonna let 'er do anythin' to you anymore.

Cruel Britannia Fri Mar 18, 2011 5:45 pm

Alex averts his eyes from Alexis shamefully.

Pockets Fri Mar 18, 2011 5:57 pm

Alexis looks at Alex oddly, with a little worry mixed in.

Alexis: What?

Jabberwocky Fri Mar 18, 2011 5:58 pm

Colin extends his arm out, looking at the tattoo work he recently had done. It's the first time Moira had seen it. On his left forearm is a bird of paradise holding a ribbon. On the ribbon reads "Paradise is at the feet of Mothers", an old Islamic saying

Colin:"Got it a few weeks ago..dedicated to you..."

he puts his arm back down

Cruel Britannia Fri Mar 18, 2011 5:59 pm

Alex: Nothing.... I'm just.... sorry.

Pockets Fri Mar 18, 2011 6:11 pm

Moira is extremely touched.

Moira: I jus' wanted to try an' undo all that shite she did to you....

Now Alexis looks really confused.

Alexis: For what?

Jabberwocky Fri Mar 18, 2011 6:15 pm

Colin:"It...took a long time before I felt safe letting anybody put a needle..."

he stops talking

Cruel Britannia Fri Mar 18, 2011 6:16 pm

Alex: For.... for going off.... for not being stronger.

Cryonix Fri Mar 18, 2011 6:19 pm

Micah gives Colin a hug and walks off to look out of the window...contemplating what's going on. A doctor walks out to all of them...

Doctor: Ladies and Gentlemen...Mr. Cortez is awake...

Pockets Fri Mar 18, 2011 6:30 pm

Alexis: I think you've been very strong, considering everything.

She looks up as the doctor walks out, and breathes a sigh of relief at the news.

Alexis: He's going to be alright then?

Moira: A needle? Don't tell mey she... oh Colin, I'm so sorry....

Cruel Britannia Fri Mar 18, 2011 6:33 pm

Ewan gently wakes Jillian.

Ewan: Honey..... Shawn's awake.

Amanda walks up behind Micah and wraps her arms around him.

Amanda: What is it honey?

Alex half smiles at Alexis, relieved.

Jabberwocky Fri Mar 18, 2011 6:40 pm

Colin:"I...I don't even know whats real from my childhood anymore. She...she would...
he taps his forearm, where the tattoo is
I would fall into this daze...this...trance...she would take me to bed and tell me stories...making me feel like I was there...all these things...She...convinced me they all happened...that I experienced them. They were real to me...It' how she kept her control over me...
It's why...when I was younger I went into hysterics when you said "bed time story"...thats what she would call it. She...
he buries his head back into her
I'm scared, I'm still scared"

Pockets Fri Mar 18, 2011 7:10 pm

Moira strokes Colin's hair.

Moira: I told you, I won't let anythin' 'appen....

Alexis hugs Alex.

Alexis: I'm glad you're alright... finally stuff is going right again.

Jabberwocky Fri Mar 18, 2011 7:14 pm

Colin:"She...stole my childhood from me. I'll never get it back I'll never..."

Cryonix Fri Mar 18, 2011 7:18 pm

Jillian slowly wakes in Ewan's arms....

Jillian: Mmmmm....hmm? What's going on?

Micah looks behind him and sees Amanda and enjoys her hug...

Micah: Oh, it's just...everything sweetie. It's so messed up...and all I want is just to have a family with you...and all this happens...because of money. I can't help but feel bad that people are using me to ....hurt everyone.

Pockets Fri Mar 18, 2011 7:20 pm

Not having an answer, and hating that she can't "make it all better", Moira just holds Colin close.

Cruel Britannia Fri Mar 18, 2011 7:26 pm

Ewan brushes some hair out of Jilly's eyes.

Ewan: He's awake honey.... Shawn's awake.... and there's no screaming so I assume he's feeling better.... thanks to you.

Amanda turns him around and stares up into his eyes.

Amanda: Granted.... it's not a pleasant situation.... and this ragtag collection of people have worse luck than most.... but we survive.... we always do.... and I will gladly endure this for now if it means that when it's over I get to be with you.

Jabberwocky Fri Mar 18, 2011 7:26 pm

Colin can't help but over hear Micah, he looks over at him

Colin:"Micah...brother..."

Cryonix Fri Mar 18, 2011 7:30 pm

Micah smiles at Amanda...

Micah: Heh...I love you, Amanda. Thanks for that, baby.

He looks at Colin...

Micah: We'll make it through man...I...may have an idea...but it would take all of us.

Jillian smiles and her body completly relaxes again...

Jillian: Thank God....thank god...

She hugs Ewan again and falls back asleep, completley warn out...

Cruel Britannia Fri Mar 18, 2011 7:34 pm

Ewan smiles and enjoys feeling his wife completely relax in his arms.

Alex stands and walks over to Micah.

Alex: What's the plan brother? If it could finally put all this to rest..... you can count me in all the way.

Cryonix Fri Mar 18, 2011 7:37 pm

Micah: In short....let them win. Let's kill me.

Pockets Fri Mar 18, 2011 7:38 pm

Alexis: i hope you mean faking your death.

Cryonix Fri Mar 18, 2011 7:40 pm

Micah: Of course I do...but it has to be convincing. That's why it would take all of us. Let them beleive we're bursting at the seams with mistrust. Let them think Colin understands and kills me. Nuala probably won't expect it to actually happen. If it does...Colin becomes the 'light' and would have complete control, right?

Cruel Britannia Fri Mar 18, 2011 7:41 pm

Alex: Kinda like what you did with the Age of the Fallen? That's brilliant.

Jabberwocky Fri Mar 18, 2011 7:41 pm

Colin stands up and walks over to Alex and Micah

Colin:"Wait wait...I think I should have a say in this..."
