(no subject)
So, to summarize, Mulciber is talking to Rodolphus about Narcissa and Bellatrix, while Feanor speaks with his wife and adopted son, who is being helped by Yavanna. Then…Bellatrix shows up...and stuff happens.
* Mercutio has joined #desperatefans
* Bellatrix has joined #desperatefans
[Feanaro] *raises eyebrow* Now?
[Bellatrix] *stalks in and looks around*
[Mercutio] *waves at Roddy, despite not knowing which one he is*
[Rodolphus] *doesn't see her at first*
[Mulciber] *doesn't either*
[Bellatrix] *eyes narrow when she sees M and Roddy*
[Bellatrix] *coldly, in a carrying voice* Rodolphus?
[Rodolphus] *freezes* *oh sh--*
[Mercutio] *stalks up behind Bella and mimics* Rodolphus?
[Bellatrix] *IGNORES HIM*
[Bellatrix] *OMFG*
[Rodolphus] *turns slowly to look at her* Bella. Hello, love.
[Mulciber] *looks over and FREEZES*
[Bellatrix] -What- are you doing?
[Rodolphus] ...talking...?
[Mercutio] He's cheating on you with another man, what does it look like?
[Bellatrix] *turns around and SLAPS Merc*
[Mercutio] *has no idea what's going on, really, but was just told to torment Roddy and Bella*
[Rodolphus] *glares at Mercutio*
[Mercutio] *glares at Rodolphus*
[Rodolphus] *stands and goes over to Bella* I was just talking, love.
[Bellatrix] *COLDLY OMG* I thought you were no longer going to associate with that traitor. NOT TO MENTION HE SEDUCED YOU.
[Mercutio] YES, I ADMIT, I DID.
[Rodolphus] ...I...well...
[Mulciber] *sitting and watching and going ohshitohshitohshit and not sure what to do*
[Mercutio] *still has no idea what's going on*
[Rodolphus] *regains some composure* Bella. He's my friend. I can't just abandon him!
[Bellatrix] *is upset and omg not showing it really* He abandoned our Lord.
[Rodolphus] *nods, trying to stay calm* He did.
[Bellatrix] Then I do not see why you cannot simply abandon him.
[Mulciber] *er, not sure what to do...*
[Rodolphus] Think of all we've been through! He's been my friend since we were in school! That'd be like me...*just stops, because what he wasn't going to say isn't going to help him*
[Mercutio] I'm sorry, but I have to ask, if I'm going to be tormenting you all here, can someone tell me what's going on?
[Rodolphus] It's harder than that Bella.
[Bellatrix] *ICE. COLD.* Like you cheating on me, perhaps?
[Rodolphus] *winces*
[Mercutio] *mutters* Oh, it's plenty hard.
[Mulciber] *ohHELL* *winces*
[Rodolphus] *quietly* I -told- you I was sorry.
[Bellatrix] *still ICY* You did. And I forgave you. However, it is somewhat unsettling to come in here and see you speaking to -him-.
[Rodolphus] I-I know. I know it must be. I'm sorry. I didn't mean... *fails at words and just sighs*
[Bellatrix] I don't understand this, Rodolphus.
[Mercutio] *pokes at Bella, curiously*
[Rodolphus] He's helped me. While you were gone. He's done so much for me! [Mercutio] I'd been wondering how these weird modern refridgidaires work. It's YOU.
[Bellatrix] *backhands MErc, not taking her gaze off Roddy* -Helped- you?
[Mercutio] *totally in awe* How do you DO it?
[Rodolphus] *stares at Mercutio*
[Rodolphus] *looks back to Bella* Yes! Helped!
[Mercutio] ((... I like how she beats up Mercutio without even missing a beat in her conversation. XD Go bells.))
[Bellatrix] *IGNORES INGNORES INGNORES MERC*
[Bellatrix] I see.
[Bellatrix] I have things that I should be doing.
[Rodolphus] No...don't leave again. Just stay and hear me out!
[Bellatrix] *just looks at him* Talk, then.
[Rodolphus] *agitated* You want to know how he helped me? You want to know why you should be -thanking- him?
[Mercutio] I'm sorry, could I just interrupt and offer my opinion?
[Bellatrix] *just waits*
[Mulciber] *facepalm*
[Rodolphus] *growls at Mercutio* No! *whips out his wand and points it at Merc* Silencio!
[Mercutio] ... *sigh*
[Mercutio] *grabs Roddy and kisses him*
[20:06] [Rodolphus] *goes O.O* *pushes him away* WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING???
[Bellatrix] *DRAGS MERC OFF RODDY AND PUNCHES HIM*
[Mercutio] ... *can I talk again yet?* *sulk*
[Mercutio] *licks split lip and flops back on the floor*
[Bellatrix] *looks back at Roddy* Keep talking.
[Rodolphus] *ignores silenced Mercutio and turns back to Bella*
[Mulciber] *...wants to hit Merc with something nasty*
[Rodolphus] *is even more agitated now* He saved me! You were gone, and I slit my own bloody wrist, and HE was the one who went and got me a healer!
[Mercutio] *wanders over to where Eris is napping and starts playing with her hair*
[Bellatrix] You're a fool for doing it in the first place.
[Rodolphus] *shouts* I wouldn't have done it had you effing been here!
[Bellatrix] You're a fool for not believing that I would return to you, also.
[Mercutio] *gives Eris a sweet kiss to wake her up*
[Eris] *is kiss'd awake* ... hi!
[Rodolphus] Well can you blame me? How the hell was I supposed to know you'd return? You disappear for two months, no word or anything!
[Mercutio] *little wave, smiling*
[Rodolphus] You can't even tell your own husband where you went and what you did!
[Mercutio] *taps his throat then gestures outwards*
[Bellatrix] *completely expressionless* Maybe I should not have.
[Eris] *sits up and gives him a hug* And how are you, sweet thing?
[Mercutio] *smiles and tugs on her hair* *gives a little cough and indicates his throat again*
[Eris] ... oh. I see. *waves her hand and Erismods Merc his voice back*
[Rodolphus] ...*glares at her coldly, trying to mask the hurt* *quietly* You can try the cold-hearted bitch act with me all you want, Bella...go ahead...but I know better.
[Rodolphus] *turns to walk away*
[Rodolphus] *heads toward the kitchen*
[Bellatrix] *wants so bad to put out a hand, but doesn't* I thought I knew -you- better, too.
[Mercutio] Thank you, gorgeous. ^_^ *frenches her*
[Rodolphus] *winces, but keeps going* *goes into the kitchen to brood/angst/sulk/be emo*
[Bellatrix] *walks over to M*
[Mulciber] *OHMYGOD-SHIT-* *looks up at her*
[Bellatrix] *slaps him*
[Mulciber] *puts a hand to his cheek and bites his lip*
[Bellatrix] *calmly* I hate you. *pulls out her wand and points it at him*
[Mulciber] Bella, what are you-?
[Eris] *blinks* You're welcome, of course. What did you do to get silenced?
[Mulciber] I'm sorry, I didn't mean to- What are you doing?!
[Bellatrix] Crucio.
[Mulciber] *screams and falls off the couch onto the floor
What is Happening With Armand and Company
[ArmandStJust] *looks a bit nervously at Yavanna* Lady, what exactly do you need to know? *almost whispers*
[Nerdanel] *looks rather pale as Bellatrix comes in, and instead focuses on Fea*
[Yavanna] What caused it, if I am to be of any help. *She replied, waiting patiently for Armand to respond. *
[Feanaro] *takes Ner's hand, squeezing it reassuringly*
[ArmandStJust] Just my stomach?
[Nerdanel] *squeezes back*
[ArmandStJust] Lady Yavanna, is it just the stomach you mean?
[Yavanna] Yes, that's what I meant. I was thinking.
[ArmandStJust] I was throwing up blood, Lady. Ulcers from stress. There has been a lot of cause for stress. Now I get queasy very easily and can only eat certain things.
[ArmandStJust] *is thinner than even the one time she saw him*
[Yavanna] Oh, I see. Well, there is an herbal tea that you can take everyday. It will help reduce the queasiness and after about a month of drinking it, you should be back to normal again. *She said all this after a long thought, a grin coming across her face. * Would you like me to make you some now?
[[ArmandStJust] *gulps and nods* Certainly, Lady. I shall try that though I will have to make sure with Mme. Cooper that it doesn't clash with what she has been giving me to drink which at least keeps me from throwing up everything.
[Yavanna] * Smiling, she leaves the room and disappears into the kitchen, doing who knows what to the tea. When she came back, she had a cup of steaming tea in her hand. It smelled like...medicine. *
[ArmandStJust] *takes the cup* *sniffs it cautiously*
[Yavanna] * Watches Armand, grinning. *
[ArmandStJust] *sips the tea* [icky mediciney smell?]
[Yavanna] [ And taste. Like....chalk. ]
* Cherlock has joined #desperatefans
[ArmandStJust] *makes a bit of a face but keeps drinking* *looks around for Feanor*
[Yavanna] It should help quite a bit. *She said cheerfully.* Oh and sugar makes it useless, so don't think about putting some in.
[Feanaro] *smiles reassuringly at Armand*
[Cherlock] *Walks in and sits down on a bench, looking some writing over*
[ArmandStJust] Thank you, Lady. *wearily adds something else to the regime he's following to hang on to as much health as he's managed so far*
[Cherlock] *Waves to Nerdanel*
[Nerdanel] *smiles at Sherlock and waves back* Hello again!
[Cherlock] How might you be?
[Yavanna] But, I'll have to teach you how to make it. *She reached into her pocket and brought out fresh looking leaves, complete with stems. They looked like weeds. * Steep these in hot water for fifty minutes, then pour into a glass and stir counter clock wise for two minutes, then lastly add this to the mixture. *She reached into her pocket again and brought out three purple flowers that looked much like a thistle. *
[Nerdanel] Not bad at all. I have found the book you gave me very interesting, if odd. Yourself?
[ArmandStJust] *blinks at them* *nods* When should I drink it? How often? And where can I find those herbs? *wonders about the little chest that Feanor gave him earlier*
[Feanaro] (to Nerdanel) ... you met?
[Feanaro] *oh, right, the chest! There might be some in there, I suppose.*
[Nerdanel] *nods to Feanor* Yes, last night. Lord Holmes? Meet my husband, Feanor.
[Cherlock] *Stands up and offers to shake Feanor's hand*
[Yavanna] You can find the purple flower at the edge of that forest over there. *She pointed to the west.* ...I got bored. *She giggled a bit, before clearing her throat.* The green ones are just in the field across from the mansion.
[Yavanna] You should take it every day, once a day. Every morning would be good.
[Feanaro] *eyes Holmes' hand* We met, too. You were the bored one, weren't you?
[ArmandStJust] *nods solemnly* I'll pick some and take them back with me. And drop off at Blakeney Manor to get the chest.
[Cherlock] *Nods*
[Cherlock] Yes indeed.
[Yavanna] * She grinned at Armand. * Good.
[Feanaro] And are you still bored?
[Cherlock] *Nods*
[Cherlock] Most of the time.
[ArmandStJust] *nods again a bit nervously and goes to hug Feanor* *doesn't care he's talking to someone*
[Feanaro] *OME etiquette!* *holds, though*
[Nerdanel] *smiles at her husband and new son*
[ArmandStJust] *downright clings*
[Yavanna] * Watches as the elves interact and she smiles in a motherly manner, before walking over to a chair and takes a seat. *
[ArmandStJust] *whispers* Ada, I love you so much.
[Feanaro] *warm and fuzzy feeling!* *kisses Armand's forehead* *softly* I love you too, yondo.
[Feanaro] [[and the mush alert goes off again]]
* Romy has joined #desperatefans
[Romy] *pokes her head in carefully- has a hangover- and blinks when she sees Armand*
[Nerdanel] *is totally awed by how affectionate her husband is being towards Armand, and is totally adoring the mush*
[Yavanna] * Looks up at the new comer, Romy, and smiles giving a light nod of greeting.*
[Feanaro] *can be just as affectionate with Ner, yo. Or even more, in fact.*
[Romy] *goes to sit down and nurse her head*
[ArmandStJust] [*hopefully more as fatherly affection only goes so far*]
[Nerdanel] [[*hopes so too* O.o]]
[Feanaro] [[indeed. No worries.]]
[Feanaro] [[Fea: *is not going to prove that here and now, but. You know.*]]
[Nerdanel] *just never seen him around Armand*
Then Everyone
[Rodolphus] *hears screaming from the kitchen* *runs back into main room*
[ArmandStJust] *flinches and clings*
[Bellatrix] *looks down at M calmly*
[Mulciber] *twitching*
[Rodolphus] ...*freezes briefly*
[[Rodolphus] Bella! No!
[Romy] *thinks Armand and Fea are omg sweet*
[[Feanaro] *slightly shocked* *turns slightly so he's standing exactly between Armand and Bella, just in case*
[Yavanna] * Jumps when she heard the screaming coming from near by and she stares at M, who is writhing on the floor. * ...
[Rodolphus] *rushes over and grabs her arm* STOP IT. NOW.
[Bellatrix] *looks up at him, completely calm* Why?
[Nerdanel] *looks distressed by the screaming, and hovers near her family*
[Bellatrix] *doesn't move her wand*
[Rodolphus] *glares slightly* If I mean anything to you at all, you'll stop. Now.
[Feanaro] *would usher Nerdanel behind him, too, if he had a hand free to do so*
[Nerdanel] *appreciates the thought*
[ArmandStJust] *starts sobbing*
[Bellatrix] *drops her wand and stares at him* Be lucky it wasn't you.
[Feanaro] *holds Armand tightly* Shhh, dear.
[Mulciber] *lying on the floor gasping*
[Bellatrix] *kicks M*
[Rodolphus] It should have been me! Not him! It's not his fault! It was mine!
[Yavanna] * She notices what the wand was made of and she twitches visiably. The poor tree. *
[Rodolphus] *grabs her arms and tries to drag her away* ENOUGH.
[Eris] *throws an apple at Bella* Do you /mind/?
[Feanaro] *might be somewhat impressed by the effect of the crucio on mortals, though*
[Bellatrix] *dragg'd! wrenches out of his grasp and slaps him*
[Mulciber] *twitches, then lies still, finding moving to be STUPID*
[Romy] *staring at Bella*
[Rodolphus] *angry* *grabs her arms more firmly and holds her in front of him* That is enough.
[Bellatrix] Don't be a fool, Rodolphus.
[ArmandStJust] *pulls away suddenly and runs to throw up* *sorry about the lovely tea, Yavanna*
[Bellatrix] I should kill him.
[Feanaro] *OK THAT'S IT. YOU MADE ARMAND THROW UP. BASTARD.*
[Mercutio] By the way. *points* She keeps hitting me.
[Romy] *looks concernedly at Armand*
[Rodolphus] I am a fool. You should know that well by now, Bella.
[Nerdanel] *quickly follows after Armand, both to make sure he is alright and to get away from the chaos*
[ArmandStJust] *has run to the bathroom to be sick*
[Mercutio] I don't suppose you can do anything horrible to her, like, say, removing her ability to reach orgasm? ^_^
[Mercutio] *this to Eris*
[Bellatrix] *calmly* Let me go.
[Feanaro] [[*singing slightly* bed-time, bed-time! Woe.]]
[Yavanna] * Sad that the tea wasn't working but she had faith it would after a while. *
[Bellatrix] [[ LOVE YOU! ]]
[Yavanna] [ -Woe.- ]
[Nerdanel] [[Nu. *CLING* We love you!]]
[Rodolphus] *stares at her for a moment* *releases her*
[Eris] She was hitting - oh, well, this has to stop.
[Feanaro] Yavanna darling, I don't think the tea would've helped there.
[Rodolphus] *goes over to M and kneels beside him* Peril...?
[Eris] *walks over and /glares/ at Bella*
[Bellatrix] *steps back* I should kill you both.
[Bellatrix] *looks at Eris* -What-?
[Nerdanel] [[Ner: *is totally unhappy at her husband leaving her in this chaos* *glares at typist*]]
[Mulciber] 'Mfine
[Feanaro] *is not going to beat up Bella now because the typist is too tired, but wants to see how this turns out.* [[*wibbles*]]
[Mercutio] *watches, curious*
[ArmandStJust] {*clings* love you!]
[Rodolphus] No you're not...can you Apparate without splinching yourself?
[Yavanna] *Woeful.*
[Feanaro] [[*is glared at* *winces* 3:30 am, erudammit!]]
[Nerdanel] [[Ignore her. You need sleep. *huggles*]]
[Eris] You're torturing people and kicking my Second Favorite. Stop that.
[Mulciber] 'Mfine, really. *sits up, wincing* Icango.
[Feanaro] [[Indeed I do. *huggles*]]
[Bellatrix] He needs to keep his hands -off- me and my husband. He deserves to die, too.
[Feanaro] *would kiss Nerdanel goodnight and hug Armand if they were there*
[Feanaro] *nods around*
* Feanaro has quit IRC
[Yavanna] * Wondering if Armand will be okay. *
[Eris] Why?
[Rodolphus] You sure, Per? You need help?
[Bellatrix] Because he is an interfering pervert.
[Mulciber] *shakes his head* No... 'M all right. Really.
[Eris] There's nothing wrong with perverts. Maybe you should go have a fling. I recommend my brother. He's easy.
[Rodolphus] *nods* Okay, Per. *goes over to where Eris and Bella and Mercutio are all congregated*
[Bellatrix] *expressionless* I am quite content with my husband, -thank- you. Tell your favorite to stay away from me.
* Phineas has joined #desperatefans
[Romy] *worries at Armand*
[Phineas] * Wanders in, robes flaring dramatically. *
[Mulciber] *stands and disapparates home*
* Mulciber has left #desperatefans
[Eris] *rolls her eyes at Bella* Yeah, but he's not.
[Phineas] * Looks around, raising an eyebrow. Why is it always a soap opera when I come here? The world goes to hell in a handbasket. *
[Rodolphus] *glares at Eris* *coldly* And how would you know that?
[Bellatrix] *ingores Roddy and just gives Eris a similar death glare*
[Mercutio] Isn't it obvious? *smirks, enjoying this so much*
[Eris] Babe, I share headspace with D. *smirks*
[Bellatrix] *tenses*
[Eris] I could probably tell you how many of your shirts he's destroyed.
[Phineas] * Looks to Bellatrix and Roddy, mildly amused. *
[Bellatrix] *TENSE*
[Bellatrix] *STARES AT ERIS*
[Eris] *smiles prettily*
[Bellatrix] *looks like she wants to slap Eris, too*
[Rodolphus] *glareglarerevolution at Eris*
[Nerdanel] *still holding Armand, trying to give him what comfort she can*
[Eris] Anyway. Here's the deal - go work out your issues with Roddy elsewhere, sans signale if you must and leave Merc alone. Then I won't have to tie you up and give you to Daddy.
[Eris] Everyone wins!
[Phineas] * Notices how intensely she is staring at Eris. * Why slap? Wands are so much easier and you don't hurt you're hand. *To Bellatrix.*
[Bellatrix] He. Needs. To Stay. Away. From me.
[Mercutio] I have to agree with her on that point, gorgeous. She's abusing me, but not exactly seeking me out to do it... *smirk*
[Rodolphus] *suddenly rounds on Mercutio and punches him* *stalks away and finally just disapparates*
[Mercutio] *curious* What would happen if you tied her up and gave him to--*punched*--... ow.
[Bellatrix] You deserved that.
[Bellatrix] *disapparates, also*
[Eris] *fusses over Merc*
* Bellatrix has left #desperatefans
[Mercutio] Ow. *wry smile at Eris* Hey, gorgeous.
[Phineas] Wow. That soap opera was a short one. *Sarcasm.* I want a refund.
[Eris] *gives Phineas an apple*
[Phineas] * Looks at the apple, raising an eyebrow. * ...Great, I'm going to catch a lot of beautiful young women with this. *Snerk.*
[Mercutio] *gets up slowly* ... did you dare insult a gift from the fairest goddess of Olympus?
[Eris] *smirks* Right. Because it totally won't explode or nothiing.
[Mercutio] *beams at Eris* Can I torture him?
[Phineas] * Tosses it toward Merc. * Think fast~
[Eris] Will it cause lots of chaos and heartbreak?
[Phineas] ...I may go along with it, because Chaos is fun.
[Phineas] *Seems amused by all this. *
[Mercutio] *catches the apple easily* Of course, gorgeous. Would you expect any less of me?
[Mercutio] *takes a bite* Although maybe more scandal, less heartbreak.
[Eris] *grins at Merc* Then need you ask?
[Eris] *winks at Phineas* Chaos is /always/ fun.
[Mercutio] Have I mentioned how much I love and worship you, gorgeous?
[Eris] Not lately. *grins*
[Mercutio] *kisses her, then takes another bite of the apple, and turns to Phineas* Hi. ^_^
[Phineas] * Raises an eyebrow. * And here I was thinking I would get to see a whole snogging session.
[Mercutio] *another bite* Stick around. *grins*
[Eris] Just wait, sugar.
[Phineas] * Smirks faintly in amusement. * It depends if you get too mushy for my tastes.
[Eris] I don't think mushy's the right adjective. It's too tame.
[Mercutio] What's too mushy? Is this too mushy? *sweeps Eris off her feet* My sweet petal, my days are spent longing for you, my nights filled with dreams of your lushious curls...
[Phineas] So is the word lame, you're point?
[Eris] *giggles madly*
[Eris] Have I mentioned that I want to keep you, darling? JohnBoy doesn't go all romantic.
[Phineas] * Twitches ceaselessly. * Actually, that could be easily described as gut wrenchingly pathetic.
[Mercutio] *sets her down with a bow* But we'll save that for later. *eyeflutters at Phineas* And as for you, my maiden?
[Phineas] * Looks around behind him. * Oh, you're talking to me? I thought you were talking about yourself! *Smiles in an annoying manner, his eyes glittering wickedly. *
[Mercutio] Worry not, I will not threaten your chastity, for I know your vows. *clings to him* Only let me gaze upon thy wrinkled brow and vacant visage!
[Eris] *chortles*
[Phineas] Hm. Let's think about that a second. *Pondering expression.* How bout I pluck you're eyebrows out now? *Holds a wand to his forehead. *
[Mercutio] My love for you is as pure as the driven sludge, oh sweet demoiselle~! *nuzzles*
[Eris] I wouldn't do that, Phineas my little plum.
[Phineas] Then get you're boy toy off me and I mean boy literally. I can't be blamed for what I do to him.
[Mercutio] Crumpet, I'm older than you are, there's no need for such quivery...
[Phineas] And there's no need for you to come onto me like some kind of drunken date, but I can't blame you. You were raised to act like that, old man.
[Eris] *pulls Merc over to her* Spoilsport.
[Mercutio] *purrs and nibbles her ear*
[Phineas] Well, I'm not exactly in a cheery mood. *He replied, before wandering off. It was his job to be annoying, not theirs'! *
[Phineas] Damn hippies.
[Eris] Some people don't know how to have fun.
[Mercutio] Fortunately, I do. *kiss* Shall we... retire?
[Phineas] * Wanders down the halls and finds the bathroom door wide open. He peers in and finds three people cramped there. * And I thought my family had weird habits.
[Eris] Retire from chaos? Surely you jest. *winks*
[Romy] *blinks at Phineas*
[Mercutio] Never, gorgeous. *kiss* Rather, that we should retire somewhere more... private. *eyebrow waggle*
[Mercutio] *sweeps her off her feet* Your place or mine?
[Phineas] * Lovely, more melodrama. He wanders off again, wishing for once that something would explode! *
[Mercutio] Just, before we leave, gorgeous, would you make crumpet's hair explode? ^_^
[Mercutio] *strives to please*
[Eris] Yours, darling.
[Eris] *waves an hand and Erismods Phineas's hair into flames*
[Mercutio] ^_^ *carries her off*
[Phineas] ... *Sniffs the air and sighs. * ...I should have kept my thoughts to myself. *Using his wand, he conjures a bit of water and puts the fire out. *
In the Bathroom With Armand.
[ArmandStJust] *pulls away suddenly and runs to throw up* *sorry about the lovely tea, Yavanna*
[Nerdanel] *quickly follows after Armand, both to make sure he is alright and to get away from the chaos*
[ArmandStJust] *on knees in bathroom crying if Nerdanel is looking*
[Nerdanel] *comes in and kneels by him, embracing him, not far from crying herself*
[ArmandStJust] *hugs her not even quite caring who it is* I'm so weak...
[Nerdanel] No, no, you are not. *gently rubs his back as if he were one of her sons when younger* *breathlessly* No one should see that.
[ArmandStJust] It brings back bad memories, and I'm so scared... and my stomach turns.
[Nerdanel] It is okay. We will be safe. *swallows, hoping she is not lying* Be sick if you need to, I will be here. *holds him*
[ArmandStJust] I am so sorry, Lady Queen.
[Nerdanel] You have nothing to be sorry about, Armand. *is actually much calmer than she would be if she did not have someone to mother* It is alright.
[ArmandStJust] *drives his face on his sleeve* Thank you. I fear I wasted lady Yavanna's medicine.
[Romy] *stands and goes over to Armand* *puts a hand gently on his arm*
[Nerdanel] *attempts a shaky smile* At least she gave you more. *leans her forehead against his shoulder for her own comfort*
[ArmandStJust] *crowded bathroom?*
[ArmandStJust] Romy? *looks at her* *looks sadly at Nerdanel*
[Nerdanel] *does not look up*
[Romy] *oh, he's in the bathroom? followed, then*
[Romy] *stands in the doorway* You okay?
[ArmandStJust] No. I'm never going to be okay. *bites lip to keep from crying again*
[Romy] Never? Surely not, Armand... *puts a hand out to touch his cheek gently*
[ArmandStJust] *wipes his nose on his sleeve cuff again* I'm terrified all the time.
[Romy] Oh... Armand...
[Romy] I understand...
[Nerdanel] But you are protected, now, Armand. Feanor loves you, and will protect you, and if I know anything about my sons, so will they. And I, if I have any power to.
[ArmandStJust] *gets to his feet, trembling* *washes his his mouth out and spits into the sink* D-do you? *looks over at Romy*
[Romy] Yes. I do.
[ArmandStJust] *to Nerdanel* I know, Lady Queen, but I'm still afraid. Is that ungrateful or what?
[Romy] *looks at Ner and bites her lip*
[Nerdanel] *still kneeling on the floor* No one can blame you for that. I have always had that protection and I am still frightened.
[Romy] It's completely understandable.
[Romy] I'm still scared, and it's been years.
[ArmandStJust] I'm sorry, Lady Queen. I wouldn't make a very good elf. *looks at Romy and cannot hide how full of fear he is in general*
[Romy] *hesitates, then hugs him gingerly*
[Nerdanel] No one is asking you to be. *smiles sadly* And elves are not immune from terror and weakness, either.
[ArmandStJust] *hugs Romy tentatively, but is looking down at Nerdanel now* All the ones I know are very strong.
[Nerdanel] I am not.
[ArmandStJust] You must be. You're married to Feanaro.
[Nerdanel] *laughs without humor* Yet even now I am frightened of Bellatrix and what she is capable of.
[Nerdanel] [[That was a hard argument to make a come back to. *g*]]
[Romy] Is that who she was?
[Nerdanel] *nods*
[ArmandStJust] A- Feanaro has tested some of their magic. It doesn't work as well against your kind. I don't know but she was a witch.
[Romy] *nods* She is a witch... I know some about her.
[Nerdanel] It does not mean she cannot hurt those I care for, and not all of them are elven. That terrifies me more than anything.
[ArmandStJust] You don't even really know me, even though your husband has been so generous to me. Have you managed to make friends then?
[Nerdanel] Yes, and I continue to make more. And Armand- *stands, placing a hand on his cheek* My husband loves you. You -are- family, whether I know you well or not. I fear for you, and for what it would do to Feanor if you were harmed.
[ArmandStJust] I've been harmed, Lady Queen. It just remains to be seen if I'm man enough to get over it.
[ArmandStJust] *looks at Romy bleakly*
[Romy] It's not easy to get over.
[Romy] It's not a weakness to be hurt, Armand.
[Nerdanel] You seem to think that to be strong one must have to 'get over' it. Perhaps you have not heard all the stories of your new family, but I assure you, Armand, you will find that many of them have not yet gotten over things that have happened an age ago, and yet they are still strong! You have not yet given up, and that makes you plenty 'man' enough.
[ArmandStJust] I have given up a lot, just not myself.
[Nerdanel] Yet are you not standing here before me? Have you surrendered yet to the Void?
[ArmandStJust] I've tried more than once. *ashamed*
[Romy] Oh, Armand... *hugs him tight*
[ArmandStJust] *hugs Romy* I need to sit down soon before I fall down.
[Nerdanel] *sighs, looking sadly at Armand* I will go see if the coast is clear. The bathroom is no place to stay. *steps out, going to check the main room*
[Nerdanel] *comes back after seeing Eris and Merc leave* Come on, they are all gone.
[Romy] *releases Armand and steps out of the bathroom*
[ArmandStJust] *nods* Thank you, Lady Queen. Romy, will you come sit with me?
[Romy] Of course.
[ArmandStJust] You may too, Queen Nerdanel, if you're willing to put up with my miserable company any longer.
[Nerdanel] I am, dear Armand. You forget the general mood of my family.
[ArmandStJust] *randomly* I wrote the twins.
[Romy] *curiously* Twins?
[Nerdanel] Did you? What did they say? *to Romy* My youngest-or, at least, they were my youngest-*smiles at Armand* are twins.
[Romy] Ah.
[ArmandStJust] *flushes at the implication she is his mother too*
[Romy] *awArmand'ssocute*
[ArmandStJust] I hope they don't get into trouble here.
[Nerdanel] *sighs* That may be an impossible wish. *smiles fondly in memory*
[ArmandStJust] Pranksters?
[Honor] *heads over to Armand etc.*
[Nerdanel] I am afraid so. *shakes head* It was a nearly impossible task to make sure they managed to get to adulthood. *suddenly winces*
[ArmandStJust] *looks up as I'm sure he's gone to claim a seat by now*
[ArmandStJust] Lady Queen?
[Romy] *probably sitting next to him* *looks concerned at Ner*
[Nerdanel] *looks up, as if startled* I am sorry-yes?
[ArmandStJust] Andrew: *follows Honor*
[ArmandStJust] *sees Honor* Honor? *manages a small smile*
[Honor] 'lo, Armand. How're you doing?
[Romy] *smiles at Honor*
[ArmandStJust] A little better.
[Nerdanel] *smiles as well, though she has not a clue who the woman is*
[Honor] Well, that's good. I've been worried.
[ArmandStJust] I'm sorry. I don't like worrying people. *looks down*
[Romy] *puts a hand on his arm gently*
[Honor] It wasn't your fault. *hugs him*
[ArmandStJust] *hugs Honor* It's so good to see you. Alistair needs you so much.
* Honor has quit IRC (Quit )
[Nerdanel] *blink*
[ArmandStJust] I'm sorry. That was rude. That was Lady Admiral Honor Harrington.
[Nerdanel] It is alright. *smiles*
[Romy] Quite all right.
[Romy] She seems kind.
[ArmandStJust] She is, and very wise.
[Nerdanel] A good friend to have.
[Romy] Yes.
[ArmandStJust] She's my other father's boss.
[Romy] Other father?
[Nerdanel] *looks curious about this as well*
[ArmandStJust] *blushes* The week that was so bad. They both spoke to adopt me. Only Feanaro made it official but Alistair has been there so much for me [s]and will likely never have children any other way.[/s]
[Romy] I see.
[Nerdanel] Ah. *smiles* You are well liked.
[ArmandStJust] I haven't any idea why. *blushes*
[Nerdanel] You seem quite amiable, if you do not mind my saying so, and very kind.
[ArmandStJust] I try to be nice to people. I shouldn't be unusual.
[ArmandStJust] *It
[Romy] *smile* Is it so surprising that people like you?
[Nerdanel] Yet, but sadly the world is not such a pleasant place, and many find it easier to be cruel.
[Psmith] Ah, Comrade Nerdanel, you speak the dark, terrible truth.
[ArmandStJust] *nods to Romy* Yes, people can be cruel. *very quiet voice*
[Romy] ... *takes his hand and squeezes it*
[Nerdanel] *smiles at Psmith, then looks sadly at Armand, placing a hand on his shoulder*
[ArmandStJust] *squeezes Romy's hand back* What brought you here?
[Romy] I was running from someone.
[ArmandStJust] Tonight? *sits up alarmed*
[Romy] Oh, no... not tonight!
[Romy] When I came her originally.
[Romy] Tonight I just came to be here, talk to people. I've been hoping to see you.
[ArmandStJust] I've been away.
…that’s a bloody long log. *facepalm*
* Mercutio has joined #desperatefans
* Bellatrix has joined #desperatefans
[Feanaro] *raises eyebrow* Now?
[Bellatrix] *stalks in and looks around*
[Mercutio] *waves at Roddy, despite not knowing which one he is*
[Rodolphus] *doesn't see her at first*
[Mulciber] *doesn't either*
[Bellatrix] *eyes narrow when she sees M and Roddy*
[Bellatrix] *coldly, in a carrying voice* Rodolphus?
[Rodolphus] *freezes* *oh sh--*
[Mercutio] *stalks up behind Bella and mimics* Rodolphus?
[Bellatrix] *IGNORES HIM*
[Bellatrix] *OMFG*
[Rodolphus] *turns slowly to look at her* Bella. Hello, love.
[Mulciber] *looks over and FREEZES*
[Bellatrix] -What- are you doing?
[Rodolphus] ...talking...?
[Mercutio] He's cheating on you with another man, what does it look like?
[Bellatrix] *turns around and SLAPS Merc*
[Mercutio] *has no idea what's going on, really, but was just told to torment Roddy and Bella*
[Rodolphus] *glares at Mercutio*
[Mercutio] *glares at Rodolphus*
[Rodolphus] *stands and goes over to Bella* I was just talking, love.
[Bellatrix] *COLDLY OMG* I thought you were no longer going to associate with that traitor. NOT TO MENTION HE SEDUCED YOU.
[Mercutio] YES, I ADMIT, I DID.
[Rodolphus] ...I...well...
[Mulciber] *sitting and watching and going ohshitohshitohshit and not sure what to do*
[Mercutio] *still has no idea what's going on*
[Rodolphus] *regains some composure* Bella. He's my friend. I can't just abandon him!
[Bellatrix] *is upset and omg not showing it really* He abandoned our Lord.
[Rodolphus] *nods, trying to stay calm* He did.
[Bellatrix] Then I do not see why you cannot simply abandon him.
[Mulciber] *er, not sure what to do...*
[Rodolphus] Think of all we've been through! He's been my friend since we were in school! That'd be like me...*just stops, because what he wasn't going to say isn't going to help him*
[Mercutio] I'm sorry, but I have to ask, if I'm going to be tormenting you all here, can someone tell me what's going on?
[Rodolphus] It's harder than that Bella.
[Bellatrix] *ICE. COLD.* Like you cheating on me, perhaps?
[Rodolphus] *winces*
[Mercutio] *mutters* Oh, it's plenty hard.
[Mulciber] *ohHELL* *winces*
[Rodolphus] *quietly* I -told- you I was sorry.
[Bellatrix] *still ICY* You did. And I forgave you. However, it is somewhat unsettling to come in here and see you speaking to -him-.
[Rodolphus] I-I know. I know it must be. I'm sorry. I didn't mean... *fails at words and just sighs*
[Bellatrix] I don't understand this, Rodolphus.
[Mercutio] *pokes at Bella, curiously*
[Rodolphus] He's helped me. While you were gone. He's done so much for me! [Mercutio] I'd been wondering how these weird modern refridgidaires work. It's YOU.
[Bellatrix] *backhands MErc, not taking her gaze off Roddy* -Helped- you?
[Mercutio] *totally in awe* How do you DO it?
[Rodolphus] *stares at Mercutio*
[Rodolphus] *looks back to Bella* Yes! Helped!
[Mercutio] ((... I like how she beats up Mercutio without even missing a beat in her conversation. XD Go bells.))
[Bellatrix] *IGNORES INGNORES INGNORES MERC*
[Bellatrix] I see.
[Bellatrix] I have things that I should be doing.
[Rodolphus] No...don't leave again. Just stay and hear me out!
[Bellatrix] *just looks at him* Talk, then.
[Rodolphus] *agitated* You want to know how he helped me? You want to know why you should be -thanking- him?
[Mercutio] I'm sorry, could I just interrupt and offer my opinion?
[Bellatrix] *just waits*
[Mulciber] *facepalm*
[Rodolphus] *growls at Mercutio* No! *whips out his wand and points it at Merc* Silencio!
[Mercutio] ... *sigh*
[Mercutio] *grabs Roddy and kisses him*
[20:06] [Rodolphus] *goes O.O* *pushes him away* WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING???
[Bellatrix] *DRAGS MERC OFF RODDY AND PUNCHES HIM*
[Mercutio] ... *can I talk again yet?* *sulk*
[Mercutio] *licks split lip and flops back on the floor*
[Bellatrix] *looks back at Roddy* Keep talking.
[Rodolphus] *ignores silenced Mercutio and turns back to Bella*
[Mulciber] *...wants to hit Merc with something nasty*
[Rodolphus] *is even more agitated now* He saved me! You were gone, and I slit my own bloody wrist, and HE was the one who went and got me a healer!
[Mercutio] *wanders over to where Eris is napping and starts playing with her hair*
[Bellatrix] You're a fool for doing it in the first place.
[Rodolphus] *shouts* I wouldn't have done it had you effing been here!
[Bellatrix] You're a fool for not believing that I would return to you, also.
[Mercutio] *gives Eris a sweet kiss to wake her up*
[Eris] *is kiss'd awake* ... hi!
[Rodolphus] Well can you blame me? How the hell was I supposed to know you'd return? You disappear for two months, no word or anything!
[Mercutio] *little wave, smiling*
[Rodolphus] You can't even tell your own husband where you went and what you did!
[Mercutio] *taps his throat then gestures outwards*
[Bellatrix] *completely expressionless* Maybe I should not have.
[Eris] *sits up and gives him a hug* And how are you, sweet thing?
[Mercutio] *smiles and tugs on her hair* *gives a little cough and indicates his throat again*
[Eris] ... oh. I see. *waves her hand and Erismods Merc his voice back*
[Rodolphus] ...*glares at her coldly, trying to mask the hurt* *quietly* You can try the cold-hearted bitch act with me all you want, Bella...go ahead...but I know better.
[Rodolphus] *turns to walk away*
[Rodolphus] *heads toward the kitchen*
[Bellatrix] *wants so bad to put out a hand, but doesn't* I thought I knew -you- better, too.
[Mercutio] Thank you, gorgeous. ^_^ *frenches her*
[Rodolphus] *winces, but keeps going* *goes into the kitchen to brood/angst/sulk/be emo*
[Bellatrix] *walks over to M*
[Mulciber] *OHMYGOD-SHIT-* *looks up at her*
[Bellatrix] *slaps him*
[Mulciber] *puts a hand to his cheek and bites his lip*
[Bellatrix] *calmly* I hate you. *pulls out her wand and points it at him*
[Mulciber] Bella, what are you-?
[Eris] *blinks* You're welcome, of course. What did you do to get silenced?
[Mulciber] I'm sorry, I didn't mean to- What are you doing?!
[Bellatrix] Crucio.
[Mulciber] *screams and falls off the couch onto the floor
What is Happening With Armand and Company
[ArmandStJust] *looks a bit nervously at Yavanna* Lady, what exactly do you need to know? *almost whispers*
[Nerdanel] *looks rather pale as Bellatrix comes in, and instead focuses on Fea*
[Yavanna] What caused it, if I am to be of any help. *She replied, waiting patiently for Armand to respond. *
[Feanaro] *takes Ner's hand, squeezing it reassuringly*
[ArmandStJust] Just my stomach?
[Nerdanel] *squeezes back*
[ArmandStJust] Lady Yavanna, is it just the stomach you mean?
[Yavanna] Yes, that's what I meant. I was thinking.
[ArmandStJust] I was throwing up blood, Lady. Ulcers from stress. There has been a lot of cause for stress. Now I get queasy very easily and can only eat certain things.
[ArmandStJust] *is thinner than even the one time she saw him*
[Yavanna] Oh, I see. Well, there is an herbal tea that you can take everyday. It will help reduce the queasiness and after about a month of drinking it, you should be back to normal again. *She said all this after a long thought, a grin coming across her face. * Would you like me to make you some now?
[[ArmandStJust] *gulps and nods* Certainly, Lady. I shall try that though I will have to make sure with Mme. Cooper that it doesn't clash with what she has been giving me to drink which at least keeps me from throwing up everything.
[Yavanna] * Smiling, she leaves the room and disappears into the kitchen, doing who knows what to the tea. When she came back, she had a cup of steaming tea in her hand. It smelled like...medicine. *
[ArmandStJust] *takes the cup* *sniffs it cautiously*
[Yavanna] * Watches Armand, grinning. *
[ArmandStJust] *sips the tea* [icky mediciney smell?]
[Yavanna] [ And taste. Like....chalk. ]
* Cherlock has joined #desperatefans
[ArmandStJust] *makes a bit of a face but keeps drinking* *looks around for Feanor*
[Yavanna] It should help quite a bit. *She said cheerfully.* Oh and sugar makes it useless, so don't think about putting some in.
[Feanaro] *smiles reassuringly at Armand*
[Cherlock] *Walks in and sits down on a bench, looking some writing over*
[ArmandStJust] Thank you, Lady. *wearily adds something else to the regime he's following to hang on to as much health as he's managed so far*
[Cherlock] *Waves to Nerdanel*
[Nerdanel] *smiles at Sherlock and waves back* Hello again!
[Cherlock] How might you be?
[Yavanna] But, I'll have to teach you how to make it. *She reached into her pocket and brought out fresh looking leaves, complete with stems. They looked like weeds. * Steep these in hot water for fifty minutes, then pour into a glass and stir counter clock wise for two minutes, then lastly add this to the mixture. *She reached into her pocket again and brought out three purple flowers that looked much like a thistle. *
[Nerdanel] Not bad at all. I have found the book you gave me very interesting, if odd. Yourself?
[ArmandStJust] *blinks at them* *nods* When should I drink it? How often? And where can I find those herbs? *wonders about the little chest that Feanor gave him earlier*
[Feanaro] (to Nerdanel) ... you met?
[Feanaro] *oh, right, the chest! There might be some in there, I suppose.*
[Nerdanel] *nods to Feanor* Yes, last night. Lord Holmes? Meet my husband, Feanor.
[Cherlock] *Stands up and offers to shake Feanor's hand*
[Yavanna] You can find the purple flower at the edge of that forest over there. *She pointed to the west.* ...I got bored. *She giggled a bit, before clearing her throat.* The green ones are just in the field across from the mansion.
[Yavanna] You should take it every day, once a day. Every morning would be good.
[Feanaro] *eyes Holmes' hand* We met, too. You were the bored one, weren't you?
[ArmandStJust] *nods solemnly* I'll pick some and take them back with me. And drop off at Blakeney Manor to get the chest.
[Cherlock] *Nods*
[Cherlock] Yes indeed.
[Yavanna] * She grinned at Armand. * Good.
[Feanaro] And are you still bored?
[Cherlock] *Nods*
[Cherlock] Most of the time.
[ArmandStJust] *nods again a bit nervously and goes to hug Feanor* *doesn't care he's talking to someone*
[Feanaro] *OME etiquette!* *holds, though*
[Nerdanel] *smiles at her husband and new son*
[ArmandStJust] *downright clings*
[Yavanna] * Watches as the elves interact and she smiles in a motherly manner, before walking over to a chair and takes a seat. *
[ArmandStJust] *whispers* Ada, I love you so much.
[Feanaro] *warm and fuzzy feeling!* *kisses Armand's forehead* *softly* I love you too, yondo.
[Feanaro] [[and the mush alert goes off again]]
* Romy has joined #desperatefans
[Romy] *pokes her head in carefully- has a hangover- and blinks when she sees Armand*
[Nerdanel] *is totally awed by how affectionate her husband is being towards Armand, and is totally adoring the mush*
[Yavanna] * Looks up at the new comer, Romy, and smiles giving a light nod of greeting.*
[Feanaro] *can be just as affectionate with Ner, yo. Or even more, in fact.*
[Romy] *goes to sit down and nurse her head*
[ArmandStJust] [*hopefully more as fatherly affection only goes so far*]
[Nerdanel] [[*hopes so too* O.o]]
[Feanaro] [[indeed. No worries.]]
[Feanaro] [[Fea: *is not going to prove that here and now, but. You know.*]]
[Nerdanel] *just never seen him around Armand*
Then Everyone
[Rodolphus] *hears screaming from the kitchen* *runs back into main room*
[ArmandStJust] *flinches and clings*
[Bellatrix] *looks down at M calmly*
[Mulciber] *twitching*
[Rodolphus] ...*freezes briefly*
[[Rodolphus] Bella! No!
[Romy] *thinks Armand and Fea are omg sweet*
[[Feanaro] *slightly shocked* *turns slightly so he's standing exactly between Armand and Bella, just in case*
[Yavanna] * Jumps when she heard the screaming coming from near by and she stares at M, who is writhing on the floor. * ...
[Rodolphus] *rushes over and grabs her arm* STOP IT. NOW.
[Bellatrix] *looks up at him, completely calm* Why?
[Nerdanel] *looks distressed by the screaming, and hovers near her family*
[Bellatrix] *doesn't move her wand*
[Rodolphus] *glares slightly* If I mean anything to you at all, you'll stop. Now.
[Feanaro] *would usher Nerdanel behind him, too, if he had a hand free to do so*
[Nerdanel] *appreciates the thought*
[ArmandStJust] *starts sobbing*
[Bellatrix] *drops her wand and stares at him* Be lucky it wasn't you.
[Feanaro] *holds Armand tightly* Shhh, dear.
[Mulciber] *lying on the floor gasping*
[Bellatrix] *kicks M*
[Rodolphus] It should have been me! Not him! It's not his fault! It was mine!
[Yavanna] * She notices what the wand was made of and she twitches visiably. The poor tree. *
[Rodolphus] *grabs her arms and tries to drag her away* ENOUGH.
[Eris] *throws an apple at Bella* Do you /mind/?
[Feanaro] *might be somewhat impressed by the effect of the crucio on mortals, though*
[Bellatrix] *dragg'd! wrenches out of his grasp and slaps him*
[Mulciber] *twitches, then lies still, finding moving to be STUPID*
[Romy] *staring at Bella*
[Rodolphus] *angry* *grabs her arms more firmly and holds her in front of him* That is enough.
[Bellatrix] Don't be a fool, Rodolphus.
[ArmandStJust] *pulls away suddenly and runs to throw up* *sorry about the lovely tea, Yavanna*
[Bellatrix] I should kill him.
[Feanaro] *OK THAT'S IT. YOU MADE ARMAND THROW UP. BASTARD.*
[Mercutio] By the way. *points* She keeps hitting me.
[Romy] *looks concernedly at Armand*
[Rodolphus] I am a fool. You should know that well by now, Bella.
[Nerdanel] *quickly follows after Armand, both to make sure he is alright and to get away from the chaos*
[ArmandStJust] *has run to the bathroom to be sick*
[Mercutio] I don't suppose you can do anything horrible to her, like, say, removing her ability to reach orgasm? ^_^
[Mercutio] *this to Eris*
[Bellatrix] *calmly* Let me go.
[Feanaro] [[*singing slightly* bed-time, bed-time! Woe.]]
[Yavanna] * Sad that the tea wasn't working but she had faith it would after a while. *
[Bellatrix] [[ LOVE YOU! ]]
[Yavanna] [ -Woe.- ]
[Nerdanel] [[Nu. *CLING* We love you!]]
[Rodolphus] *stares at her for a moment* *releases her*
[Eris] She was hitting - oh, well, this has to stop.
[Feanaro] Yavanna darling, I don't think the tea would've helped there.
[Rodolphus] *goes over to M and kneels beside him* Peril...?
[Eris] *walks over and /glares/ at Bella*
[Bellatrix] *steps back* I should kill you both.
[Bellatrix] *looks at Eris* -What-?
[Nerdanel] [[Ner: *is totally unhappy at her husband leaving her in this chaos* *glares at typist*]]
[Mulciber] 'Mfine
[Feanaro] *is not going to beat up Bella now because the typist is too tired, but wants to see how this turns out.* [[*wibbles*]]
[Mercutio] *watches, curious*
[ArmandStJust] {*clings* love you!]
[Rodolphus] No you're not...can you Apparate without splinching yourself?
[Yavanna] *Woeful.*
[Feanaro] [[*is glared at* *winces* 3:30 am, erudammit!]]
[Nerdanel] [[Ignore her. You need sleep. *huggles*]]
[Eris] You're torturing people and kicking my Second Favorite. Stop that.
[Mulciber] 'Mfine, really. *sits up, wincing* Icango.
[Feanaro] [[Indeed I do. *huggles*]]
[Bellatrix] He needs to keep his hands -off- me and my husband. He deserves to die, too.
[Feanaro] *would kiss Nerdanel goodnight and hug Armand if they were there*
[Feanaro] *nods around*
* Feanaro has quit IRC
[Yavanna] * Wondering if Armand will be okay. *
[Eris] Why?
[Rodolphus] You sure, Per? You need help?
[Bellatrix] Because he is an interfering pervert.
[Mulciber] *shakes his head* No... 'M all right. Really.
[Eris] There's nothing wrong with perverts. Maybe you should go have a fling. I recommend my brother. He's easy.
[Rodolphus] *nods* Okay, Per. *goes over to where Eris and Bella and Mercutio are all congregated*
[Bellatrix] *expressionless* I am quite content with my husband, -thank- you. Tell your favorite to stay away from me.
* Phineas has joined #desperatefans
[Romy] *worries at Armand*
[Phineas] * Wanders in, robes flaring dramatically. *
[Mulciber] *stands and disapparates home*
* Mulciber has left #desperatefans
[Eris] *rolls her eyes at Bella* Yeah, but he's not.
[Phineas] * Looks around, raising an eyebrow. Why is it always a soap opera when I come here? The world goes to hell in a handbasket. *
[Rodolphus] *glares at Eris* *coldly* And how would you know that?
[Bellatrix] *ingores Roddy and just gives Eris a similar death glare*
[Mercutio] Isn't it obvious? *smirks, enjoying this so much*
[Eris] Babe, I share headspace with D. *smirks*
[Bellatrix] *tenses*
[Eris] I could probably tell you how many of your shirts he's destroyed.
[Phineas] * Looks to Bellatrix and Roddy, mildly amused. *
[Bellatrix] *TENSE*
[Bellatrix] *STARES AT ERIS*
[Eris] *smiles prettily*
[Bellatrix] *looks like she wants to slap Eris, too*
[Rodolphus] *glareglarerevolution at Eris*
[Nerdanel] *still holding Armand, trying to give him what comfort she can*
[Eris] Anyway. Here's the deal - go work out your issues with Roddy elsewhere, sans signale if you must and leave Merc alone. Then I won't have to tie you up and give you to Daddy.
[Eris] Everyone wins!
[Phineas] * Notices how intensely she is staring at Eris. * Why slap? Wands are so much easier and you don't hurt you're hand. *To Bellatrix.*
[Bellatrix] He. Needs. To Stay. Away. From me.
[Mercutio] I have to agree with her on that point, gorgeous. She's abusing me, but not exactly seeking me out to do it... *smirk*
[Rodolphus] *suddenly rounds on Mercutio and punches him* *stalks away and finally just disapparates*
[Mercutio] *curious* What would happen if you tied her up and gave him to--*punched*--... ow.
[Bellatrix] You deserved that.
[Bellatrix] *disapparates, also*
[Eris] *fusses over Merc*
* Bellatrix has left #desperatefans
[Mercutio] Ow. *wry smile at Eris* Hey, gorgeous.
[Phineas] Wow. That soap opera was a short one. *Sarcasm.* I want a refund.
[Eris] *gives Phineas an apple*
[Phineas] * Looks at the apple, raising an eyebrow. * ...Great, I'm going to catch a lot of beautiful young women with this. *Snerk.*
[Mercutio] *gets up slowly* ... did you dare insult a gift from the fairest goddess of Olympus?
[Eris] *smirks* Right. Because it totally won't explode or nothiing.
[Mercutio] *beams at Eris* Can I torture him?
[Phineas] * Tosses it toward Merc. * Think fast~
[Eris] Will it cause lots of chaos and heartbreak?
[Phineas] ...I may go along with it, because Chaos is fun.
[Phineas] *Seems amused by all this. *
[Mercutio] *catches the apple easily* Of course, gorgeous. Would you expect any less of me?
[Mercutio] *takes a bite* Although maybe more scandal, less heartbreak.
[Eris] *grins at Merc* Then need you ask?
[Eris] *winks at Phineas* Chaos is /always/ fun.
[Mercutio] Have I mentioned how much I love and worship you, gorgeous?
[Eris] Not lately. *grins*
[Mercutio] *kisses her, then takes another bite of the apple, and turns to Phineas* Hi. ^_^
[Phineas] * Raises an eyebrow. * And here I was thinking I would get to see a whole snogging session.
[Mercutio] *another bite* Stick around. *grins*
[Eris] Just wait, sugar.
[Phineas] * Smirks faintly in amusement. * It depends if you get too mushy for my tastes.
[Eris] I don't think mushy's the right adjective. It's too tame.
[Mercutio] What's too mushy? Is this too mushy? *sweeps Eris off her feet* My sweet petal, my days are spent longing for you, my nights filled with dreams of your lushious curls...
[Phineas] So is the word lame, you're point?
[Eris] *giggles madly*
[Eris] Have I mentioned that I want to keep you, darling? JohnBoy doesn't go all romantic.
[Phineas] * Twitches ceaselessly. * Actually, that could be easily described as gut wrenchingly pathetic.
[Mercutio] *sets her down with a bow* But we'll save that for later. *eyeflutters at Phineas* And as for you, my maiden?
[Phineas] * Looks around behind him. * Oh, you're talking to me? I thought you were talking about yourself! *Smiles in an annoying manner, his eyes glittering wickedly. *
[Mercutio] Worry not, I will not threaten your chastity, for I know your vows. *clings to him* Only let me gaze upon thy wrinkled brow and vacant visage!
[Eris] *chortles*
[Phineas] Hm. Let's think about that a second. *Pondering expression.* How bout I pluck you're eyebrows out now? *Holds a wand to his forehead. *
[Mercutio] My love for you is as pure as the driven sludge, oh sweet demoiselle~! *nuzzles*
[Eris] I wouldn't do that, Phineas my little plum.
[Phineas] Then get you're boy toy off me and I mean boy literally. I can't be blamed for what I do to him.
[Mercutio] Crumpet, I'm older than you are, there's no need for such quivery...
[Phineas] And there's no need for you to come onto me like some kind of drunken date, but I can't blame you. You were raised to act like that, old man.
[Eris] *pulls Merc over to her* Spoilsport.
[Mercutio] *purrs and nibbles her ear*
[Phineas] Well, I'm not exactly in a cheery mood. *He replied, before wandering off. It was his job to be annoying, not theirs'! *
[Phineas] Damn hippies.
[Eris] Some people don't know how to have fun.
[Mercutio] Fortunately, I do. *kiss* Shall we... retire?
[Phineas] * Wanders down the halls and finds the bathroom door wide open. He peers in and finds three people cramped there. * And I thought my family had weird habits.
[Eris] Retire from chaos? Surely you jest. *winks*
[Romy] *blinks at Phineas*
[Mercutio] Never, gorgeous. *kiss* Rather, that we should retire somewhere more... private. *eyebrow waggle*
[Mercutio] *sweeps her off her feet* Your place or mine?
[Phineas] * Lovely, more melodrama. He wanders off again, wishing for once that something would explode! *
[Mercutio] Just, before we leave, gorgeous, would you make crumpet's hair explode? ^_^
[Mercutio] *strives to please*
[Eris] Yours, darling.
[Eris] *waves an hand and Erismods Phineas's hair into flames*
[Mercutio] ^_^ *carries her off*
[Phineas] ... *Sniffs the air and sighs. * ...I should have kept my thoughts to myself. *Using his wand, he conjures a bit of water and puts the fire out. *
In the Bathroom With Armand.
[ArmandStJust] *pulls away suddenly and runs to throw up* *sorry about the lovely tea, Yavanna*
[Nerdanel] *quickly follows after Armand, both to make sure he is alright and to get away from the chaos*
[ArmandStJust] *on knees in bathroom crying if Nerdanel is looking*
[Nerdanel] *comes in and kneels by him, embracing him, not far from crying herself*
[ArmandStJust] *hugs her not even quite caring who it is* I'm so weak...
[Nerdanel] No, no, you are not. *gently rubs his back as if he were one of her sons when younger* *breathlessly* No one should see that.
[ArmandStJust] It brings back bad memories, and I'm so scared... and my stomach turns.
[Nerdanel] It is okay. We will be safe. *swallows, hoping she is not lying* Be sick if you need to, I will be here. *holds him*
[ArmandStJust] I am so sorry, Lady Queen.
[Nerdanel] You have nothing to be sorry about, Armand. *is actually much calmer than she would be if she did not have someone to mother* It is alright.
[ArmandStJust] *drives his face on his sleeve* Thank you. I fear I wasted lady Yavanna's medicine.
[Romy] *stands and goes over to Armand* *puts a hand gently on his arm*
[Nerdanel] *attempts a shaky smile* At least she gave you more. *leans her forehead against his shoulder for her own comfort*
[ArmandStJust] *crowded bathroom?*
[ArmandStJust] Romy? *looks at her* *looks sadly at Nerdanel*
[Nerdanel] *does not look up*
[Romy] *oh, he's in the bathroom? followed, then*
[Romy] *stands in the doorway* You okay?
[ArmandStJust] No. I'm never going to be okay. *bites lip to keep from crying again*
[Romy] Never? Surely not, Armand... *puts a hand out to touch his cheek gently*
[ArmandStJust] *wipes his nose on his sleeve cuff again* I'm terrified all the time.
[Romy] Oh... Armand...
[Romy] I understand...
[Nerdanel] But you are protected, now, Armand. Feanor loves you, and will protect you, and if I know anything about my sons, so will they. And I, if I have any power to.
[ArmandStJust] *gets to his feet, trembling* *washes his his mouth out and spits into the sink* D-do you? *looks over at Romy*
[Romy] Yes. I do.
[ArmandStJust] *to Nerdanel* I know, Lady Queen, but I'm still afraid. Is that ungrateful or what?
[Romy] *looks at Ner and bites her lip*
[Nerdanel] *still kneeling on the floor* No one can blame you for that. I have always had that protection and I am still frightened.
[Romy] It's completely understandable.
[Romy] I'm still scared, and it's been years.
[ArmandStJust] I'm sorry, Lady Queen. I wouldn't make a very good elf. *looks at Romy and cannot hide how full of fear he is in general*
[Romy] *hesitates, then hugs him gingerly*
[Nerdanel] No one is asking you to be. *smiles sadly* And elves are not immune from terror and weakness, either.
[ArmandStJust] *hugs Romy tentatively, but is looking down at Nerdanel now* All the ones I know are very strong.
[Nerdanel] I am not.
[ArmandStJust] You must be. You're married to Feanaro.
[Nerdanel] *laughs without humor* Yet even now I am frightened of Bellatrix and what she is capable of.
[Nerdanel] [[That was a hard argument to make a come back to. *g*]]
[Romy] Is that who she was?
[Nerdanel] *nods*
[ArmandStJust] A- Feanaro has tested some of their magic. It doesn't work as well against your kind. I don't know but she was a witch.
[Romy] *nods* She is a witch... I know some about her.
[Nerdanel] It does not mean she cannot hurt those I care for, and not all of them are elven. That terrifies me more than anything.
[ArmandStJust] You don't even really know me, even though your husband has been so generous to me. Have you managed to make friends then?
[Nerdanel] Yes, and I continue to make more. And Armand- *stands, placing a hand on his cheek* My husband loves you. You -are- family, whether I know you well or not. I fear for you, and for what it would do to Feanor if you were harmed.
[ArmandStJust] I've been harmed, Lady Queen. It just remains to be seen if I'm man enough to get over it.
[ArmandStJust] *looks at Romy bleakly*
[Romy] It's not easy to get over.
[Romy] It's not a weakness to be hurt, Armand.
[Nerdanel] You seem to think that to be strong one must have to 'get over' it. Perhaps you have not heard all the stories of your new family, but I assure you, Armand, you will find that many of them have not yet gotten over things that have happened an age ago, and yet they are still strong! You have not yet given up, and that makes you plenty 'man' enough.
[ArmandStJust] I have given up a lot, just not myself.
[Nerdanel] Yet are you not standing here before me? Have you surrendered yet to the Void?
[ArmandStJust] I've tried more than once. *ashamed*
[Romy] Oh, Armand... *hugs him tight*
[ArmandStJust] *hugs Romy* I need to sit down soon before I fall down.
[Nerdanel] *sighs, looking sadly at Armand* I will go see if the coast is clear. The bathroom is no place to stay. *steps out, going to check the main room*
[Nerdanel] *comes back after seeing Eris and Merc leave* Come on, they are all gone.
[Romy] *releases Armand and steps out of the bathroom*
[ArmandStJust] *nods* Thank you, Lady Queen. Romy, will you come sit with me?
[Romy] Of course.
[ArmandStJust] You may too, Queen Nerdanel, if you're willing to put up with my miserable company any longer.
[Nerdanel] I am, dear Armand. You forget the general mood of my family.
[ArmandStJust] *randomly* I wrote the twins.
[Romy] *curiously* Twins?
[Nerdanel] Did you? What did they say? *to Romy* My youngest-or, at least, they were my youngest-*smiles at Armand* are twins.
[Romy] Ah.
[ArmandStJust] *flushes at the implication she is his mother too*
[Romy] *awArmand'ssocute*
[ArmandStJust] I hope they don't get into trouble here.
[Nerdanel] *sighs* That may be an impossible wish. *smiles fondly in memory*
[ArmandStJust] Pranksters?
[Honor] *heads over to Armand etc.*
[Nerdanel] I am afraid so. *shakes head* It was a nearly impossible task to make sure they managed to get to adulthood. *suddenly winces*
[ArmandStJust] *looks up as I'm sure he's gone to claim a seat by now*
[ArmandStJust] Lady Queen?
[Romy] *probably sitting next to him* *looks concerned at Ner*
[Nerdanel] *looks up, as if startled* I am sorry-yes?
[ArmandStJust] Andrew: *follows Honor*
[ArmandStJust] *sees Honor* Honor? *manages a small smile*
[Honor] 'lo, Armand. How're you doing?
[Romy] *smiles at Honor*
[ArmandStJust] A little better.
[Nerdanel] *smiles as well, though she has not a clue who the woman is*
[Honor] Well, that's good. I've been worried.
[ArmandStJust] I'm sorry. I don't like worrying people. *looks down*
[Romy] *puts a hand on his arm gently*
[Honor] It wasn't your fault. *hugs him*
[ArmandStJust] *hugs Honor* It's so good to see you. Alistair needs you so much.
* Honor has quit IRC (Quit )
[Nerdanel] *blink*
[ArmandStJust] I'm sorry. That was rude. That was Lady Admiral Honor Harrington.
[Nerdanel] It is alright. *smiles*
[Romy] Quite all right.
[Romy] She seems kind.
[ArmandStJust] She is, and very wise.
[Nerdanel] A good friend to have.
[Romy] Yes.
[ArmandStJust] She's my other father's boss.
[Romy] Other father?
[Nerdanel] *looks curious about this as well*
[ArmandStJust] *blushes* The week that was so bad. They both spoke to adopt me. Only Feanaro made it official but Alistair has been there so much for me [s]and will likely never have children any other way.[/s]
[Romy] I see.
[Nerdanel] Ah. *smiles* You are well liked.
[ArmandStJust] I haven't any idea why. *blushes*
[Nerdanel] You seem quite amiable, if you do not mind my saying so, and very kind.
[ArmandStJust] I try to be nice to people. I shouldn't be unusual.
[ArmandStJust] *It
[Romy] *smile* Is it so surprising that people like you?
[Nerdanel] Yet, but sadly the world is not such a pleasant place, and many find it easier to be cruel.
[Psmith] Ah, Comrade Nerdanel, you speak the dark, terrible truth.
[ArmandStJust] *nods to Romy* Yes, people can be cruel. *very quiet voice*
[Romy] ... *takes his hand and squeezes it*
[Nerdanel] *smiles at Psmith, then looks sadly at Armand, placing a hand on his shoulder*
[ArmandStJust] *squeezes Romy's hand back* What brought you here?
[Romy] I was running from someone.
[ArmandStJust] Tonight? *sits up alarmed*
[Romy] Oh, no... not tonight!
[Romy] When I came her originally.
[Romy] Tonight I just came to be here, talk to people. I've been hoping to see you.
[ArmandStJust] I've been away.
…that’s a bloody long log. *facepalm*
