*Maggie retrieves her key and fits it into the lock, shifting her grip on the ball and glove so that she can rest a hand on Bard's arm to ensure she brings him along with her. She smiles up toward him once more, then pulls the door open for them to go through*

**Exit Maggie, Bard, to Ainsford, 11**

Torment slowly fades in crouching upon the bar as if he were a gargoyle peering down over the edge of a high building to the streets below. His ashen grey hair hangs in his eyes, obstructing all vision except for his feet, and he almost seems to be asleep. His shirt is held together at his chest by only one of the middle buttons, ruffled as if he had just come in from a windstorm of sorts. The illusion that he might actually be sleeping is broken when he slowly looks up, whatever he had been doing interupted by his entrance into the Brink.

*enter Cora from Library 38*

:::Cora's footsteps echo along the hall edges and quiet as she nears the enterance to the main room. As the passage opens, she cocks her head to one side so that she gets a quicker view in case anyone was in the room.

Indeed there was a man there, oddly enough he was crouched on the bar, but that didn't matter. All Cora saw was a very familiar man with grey hair:::

:::Her heart leaped in her chest, and she sprinted in his direction. She wrapped her arms around the first part of him she could reach, which was most likely his knees and held on tight:::

Tacitus...!!

To say Torment was surprised was a bit of an understatement, moments ago he had been on one of the highest buildings he could find, and now he's suddenly under seige by a hyper blonde woman. He blinked a few times, a bit too stunned to push her off, "What the ********?"

:::She heard his voice, and it wasn't as she expected it...in fact, it actually sounded a bit more like...:::

Torment!

:::Cora had released her grasp a little to lean her head back and saw that it was not who she thought. Instead it was his son... her arms went back to holding his knees tightly:::

Torment!! Oh goodness!!! I haven't seen you in years! Thank goodness! Oh...!

:::She was this close to crying tears of joy:::

It clicked, "Cora? Well now, you certainly look different, not to say I don't myself. Although I certainly don't look anything like my old man, well, since I last saw him anyway. Likely been a year or more. Seen you much more often than his old self. I'd ask what's up, but I think I'm about to fall off the back of the bar." He had been sliding back bit by bit, and he was on the edge with the lower half of his legs still in her deathgrip.

:::He would not have fallen off with Cora holding on to him...well, at least not his bottom half:::

Right...sorry, I am letting go now. :::She let go, and tried to calm herself down a little:::

I look different? How did your hair change!? You haven't seen your father? Oh no...I haven't seen him either. Where do you think he is?

:::But the plan, about calming herself down, didn't work:::

As she let go his slid to one side to hop off the bar, leaning against it to speak as her tried to get most of the hair out of his eyes, "Ok, you need to calm down before your brain overloads or something. I'm special, just not that special. Really don't need a braindead Cora on my conscience." He took a breath before begining, satisfied with his hair, for now, "As for you, you seem more casual, my hair is a combination of force of will and dyeing it this color. As mentioned I haven't seen pops in at least a year, maybe more. If I had to guess where he is I would more than likely be very very wrong. I've kept to myself for the past six months or so. Hell, I was in a coma in there somewhere, got married as well. We haven't had ourselves a proper honeymoon yet, but we will, eventually."

:::Cora's breathe left her body in one big heave. She'd saved it up to ask a long string of questions, but when they all escaped tried to come out at once, they escaped as one big gust of empty air. Her shoulders slouched.

I have been out of the Brink for over two years, and I've returned finally...but I haven't seen many of you still. Thank goodness you're here though. :::She looked up at him smiling wearily::: Seeing you makes me feel that eventually they'll all come back.
PostPosted: Wed Jul 13, 2005 11:11 pm


Tor smiled, "Have faith, you'll see him again, its only a matter of time. Heh, if pops heard me say that he'd either lecture me on the delicacies of time or be proud or somethi..." With that he was gone.

:::Sigh:::

:::He faded away, and Cora got the distinct feeling both in her gut, and from having seen it happen consecutively a few times already...she'd be getting used to that:::

:::She did as she came to do, and got a glass of wine, before eventually bringing it back to her room for a rest. Along with the wine, she carried a little uplifting feeling. Perhaps things were going to get better soon...they were already better somehow:::

*Exit Cora*

It's been forever since she managed to set foot into the Brink. There were plenty of things she'd missed, but she did catch a few glimpses of people who looked familiar.

"I wonder why it's always so quiet...?"

Janani

PostPosted: Thu Jul 14, 2005 4:08 pm


A completely unconcious Janani rolls into existance in the Brink...laying atop the bar. She holds her Cat Plushie close to her body as she curls up, seeming to have suddenly lost heat from a blanket or something. She murmors something; though, it's too quiet to hear. She doesn't seem to notice that she's in a new place...or somebody else is in the room. Yep. The 8' tall, 600lb Angel mightn't have anything, really, to fear...

In an attempt to adjust herself to a more comfortable position, Janani rolls over...and off the bar. However, she fades out before she even comes close to the floor.

Tac slowly faded in sitting in one of the chairs facing the passageway to the rooms area, his eyes cast up towards the inky blackness that seemed to never end, a sight that wasn't too far off from what he had left behind. The dim illumination was an improvement to be sure, but it wasn't exactly the most welcome. After a full day's worth of darkness the return of his sight forced him to adjust rather quickly, so he simply continued to stare ever upwards. He was dressed in his usual attire, save for the fact that he was missing his holster, and more notably the items which gave that holster purpose.

:::Cora walked casually from the guest room hall into the bar area. Her habbit of checking for visitors payed off when she poked her head out of the hallway. She saw a man with red hair sitting in a chair, facing her.

She came into full view so that he wasn't alarmed, and she looked at him carefully. He must have been new, she'd never seen him before:::

Hello, sir..?

:::Was this his first time? she wondered:::
