Frank:"Really? Like what?"

Pockets Wed Aug 17, 2011 4:40 am

Cynthia: There was that... there was quite a bit when I was little. Mostly in private, that I can remember.

Jabberwocky Wed Aug 17, 2011 4:43 am

Frank:"...Mostly in private...heh...Well, I'll be..."
a combination of thought and smile comes over his face

Pockets Wed Aug 17, 2011 4:45 am

Cynthia notices Frank's expression.

Cynthia: What is it?

Jabberwocky Wed Aug 17, 2011 4:47 am

Frank:"Call me crazy, but I think that deep down inside, he just wanted to be daddy for his little girl...Sadly he found himself in a place he didn't know how to get out of. Or couldn't get out by himself."

Pockets Wed Aug 17, 2011 4:56 am

Cynthia smiles with a sad irony.

Cynthia: Yet, most people who are not in that world want to be....

The yacht is approaching an island, and Cynthia glances over at Ben.

Cynthia: Where am I going?

Jabberwocky Wed Aug 17, 2011 3:00 pm

Frank:"Judging from the party...it seems like your ex holds some sort of power over your father. A higher ranking in the society or something?"

Pockets Wed Aug 17, 2011 3:08 pm

Cynthia: Father and his father were close.

Jabberwocky Wed Aug 17, 2011 3:14 pm

Frank:"Yeah but I didn't exactly sense a "closeness" between your old man and Sexton...Felt more hostile then that...Not that I'm one to talk on that particular occasion about that sort of thing..."

he rubs the back of his neck somewhat awkwardly

"Heh.."

Pockets Wed Aug 17, 2011 3:16 pm

Cynthia: Our fathers are close... Father is not close with Sexton. Now that I think about it, at the time it came across as I was obligated to marry Sexton.

Cryonix Wed Aug 17, 2011 3:18 pm

Cynthia's cell phone rings....

Pockets Wed Aug 17, 2011 3:20 pm

Cynthia glances and her phone, and eyes the number curiously.

Cynthia: Ben, can you take back over?

Jabberwocky Wed Aug 17, 2011 3:21 pm

Frank:"Everything alright?"

Cryonix Wed Aug 17, 2011 3:21 pm

Ben: Of course. I'll park the yacht.

Pockets Wed Aug 17, 2011 3:24 pm

Cynthia: Thank you Ben.

She glances reassuringly at Frank.

Cynthia: It's no one you met at the party... an old friend.

She answers the phone.

Cynthia: Hello, Diana?

Jabberwocky Wed Aug 17, 2011 3:32 pm

Frank nods in understanding, but stays close

Cryonix Wed Aug 17, 2011 3:32 pm

Diana: Cynthia, my God! Where the hell have you been? I heard you and that sna....er...your husband were in South Africa somewhere.

Pockets Wed Aug 17, 2011 3:37 pm

Cynthia: Ex-husband... you can call him what you wish. I don't care. And you should know better than to believe everything you hear.

Cryonix Wed Aug 17, 2011 3:37 pm

Diana: Well...I believe what I heard here. Your mother is in a coma, Cyn.

Pockets Wed Aug 17, 2011 3:45 pm

Cynthia goes pale, staggering over to a nearby seat.

Cynthia: What? What happened?

Jabberwocky Wed Aug 17, 2011 3:46 pm

Frank quickly goes to help her sit down, sitting next to her, watching with the utmost concern

Cryonix Wed Aug 17, 2011 3:54 pm

Diana: There was a....meeting....and Sexton brought for a 'greviance' and it had to be answered. Your dad opposed it...but...you know how the Skulls are....

Pockets Wed Aug 17, 2011 3:56 pm

Cynthia: What does a skull grievance have to do with Mother?

Cryonix Wed Aug 17, 2011 3:58 pm

Diana: In the words of the meeting.... "Since a woman of your family broke my heart, I get to break another woman of your family."

Pockets Wed Aug 17, 2011 3:59 pm

Cynthia: Sexton did something to Mother to put her into a coma... because of me?

Moira looks over, startled, then glances at Ben.
