The old woman blinked twice, taking a moment before understanding that the man was speaking to her. He was rather a rude man! Walking unto a conversation between two (or three) women like that! Who did he think he was? "Young man, I do not know who you are, but you should know about manners when addressing elderlies, women and especially an elderly woman. A man should always excuse and introduce himself before interrupting a conversation." She said to him, keeping her gentle smile on her face. Should she cane him? No, it was new year, she could refrain from that today. She did, however, listen to what the man had to say. Oh... He must have been talking about Alanis. Even though the young girl had moved to the island with her mother only half a year ago, they had both already shown quite... an impact. She had been against the idea of porn day, but it wasn,t like she could influence what was happening at the school. And really, that was much much better than what had been originally panned...
"Now Mister, I would like you to know that I am my own person, not my family. We are each our own individuals.... However, think of it this way? What is better? The Porn Day that had been hosted, note that I have no idea what actually happened that day, or the original festivities that the mayor wanted to host?" She waited a second, wanting to let the man think, but then realized, that he had probably no idea what she was talking about. She often forgot that most people didn't have access to the mayor's files like she did."That is, to host a festival where every girl in age would be.... fertilized using his... yo know, in order to create plenty of little babies to dress as cherubs and use as the island mascots?" She closed her eyes, lowered her head and sigh as she was shaking it slowly. Keeping watch on Gaston was a full time job for her. So much for retirement. She looked back at the man with her same previous little smile. "Truly, mister. A woman does what she can. She isn't God."
-------------------------
Ah! The truth at shocked him! He wasn't able to speak anymore! hard to argue when you are too shock to speak! That was the Truth! He knew that he had been cought! "Ah! So you admit to it by your silence! Without being able to lie, you cannot say other wise!" Neil then proceed to execute one of his famous laugh of victories, looking straight to the sky, because that was were the champions of the truth aspired to be! At the top! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ahhh!
Once he was done laughing, which had really barely lasted five minutes, he returned his attention on the young girl that was accompanying the evil ******. "Well little miss! I believe that someone can be a ****** and a brother at the same time! Or... or are you telling me that being a ****** is something that only single child can be? Would that make ****** a way to redirect your envy of younger sibling unto someone else in the form of a creepy love?" That could be possible... he had never thought of that. He would need to research more on the subject. "Fine! You are free to go for now! But beware! I will research on the subject and if I find that brothers can be ******, I'm calling the police on you! Unless you are willing to give me an exclusive interview, then I might wait a week before doing it. I know, I know, i am too nice!"
As for the little mouse, it had also kept staring at Elliot. It was a contest! It was war! The first one to blink was a rotten cheese! Mmmmm.... cheese... FOCUS! The. Mouse. Shall. Never.... BLINK. Oh jeez! It had blinked! Oh well, he was the rotten cheese. The little mouse jumped from Neil's shoulder to land on Elliot's, making a small squeek as it did so. "INTERESTING!" Exclaimed Neil when his mouse did it. "Either he likes you too or.. YOU ARE HIDING SOMETHING FROM US! Tell me! What are you hidding! Tell the truth!"

Celeste pulled her iPod out of her pocket and checked the time. She was late but hopefully she hadn't missed the fireworks yet... they were the only reason she was going to the town square New Year's Party and not the one at the bar.
She finally caught sight of the dancing flames of the bonfire in the town square. A smile lifted her lips and she picked up the pace, excitement fueling her.
As she reached the bonfire she pulled out her earbuds and wrapped the cord around her iPod and tucked it back in her pocket. Reaching the bonfire, she found an open space. She held out her hands palm up to warm them and looked around the fire, wondering if anyone she knew was there.

As for the youngest Von Der Bach, she stopped everything that she was doing as the hair behind of her neck raised themselves. Someone was watching her. She looked around her, not seeing anyone. That was.... rather odd. She resumed her work, but stopped again after five second, looking around once more. "Oi! Who's there? Get yer arse out or else amma going to go kick it myself!" She said loudly as she stood up. Only then did she spot a small boy looking at her strangly. Psh, kids. "Yo, midget! Ge away from here! no place for kids like you!" She had enough to do without having to worry that a stupid kid would make everything explode! Then again, she could probably sue his parents for that...

The familiar sound of a fast talking would be charmer reached her ears and Celeste looked around to see Neil interrogating a boy about her age and a girl who was slightly younger. And it was interrogation, maybe an innocent form but interrogation none the less. The poor boy looked speechless and Celeste laughed to herself, shaking her head. She knew exactly how he felt.
She was pulled from her musing by the sound of a feminine voice coming from behind her. Not sure if the voice was directed at her, "you" could be anyone, she looked up and around, raising her fire warmed hands to brush her hair from her face. A very sweet looking woman was looking at her and talking.
Automatically and friendly smiled settled on Celeste's lips in greeting, but it quickly faded into an open mouthe gape of surprise. The woman was...was... whaaaat? Celeste couldn't have heard properly.
She blinked a few times, then shook her head... and tried again. Smiling a little more brightly than normal she held out a hand. "Uh... Hello! I'm Celeste. I don't think we've met. And I uhm must not have been paying attention because I think I completely missed what you just said..." She trailed off her smile turning apologetic.

   Daniel let out a tired sigh as Neil left him alone. Thank god for Elliot. Sure, he may have just been accused of being a *****, but as long as he wasn't being yelled at. He glanced around nervously. Maybe he could make a run for it. Sure, he'd get in trouble with River for ditching his sister, but she was seventeen. She could go places by herself. There was a mouse on her shoulder! Elliot hid her pleasure well, but she liked rodents, and she was happy to be so close to one. But she was confused. Hiding something? Was that even possible? "But I'm not wearing any pockets," she explained, pulling at her skirt to show that this was true. She paused to think; what else could she be hiding? This man looked like he knew what he was doing, so it must be true. "Today's my birthday? My sister bleaches her hair? What AM I hiding?" she asked him, genuinely perplexed.

Neil took a quick step back, raised his hand to the air and then pointed directly at Elliot, his finger being mearly an inch away from her face. "You are hiding the Truth! That is what you are hiding! Because.... because... You are a robot! That is what you are! A cyborg!" Why else would she be answering him with so little expressions. She could only be two things. A Robot, or an Alien, and it was already been made clear that it was Paprika Pepper who was the Alien, so, Robot!
"Yes, you are a robot created by the American government in their quest to conquer the world. Tell us the truth! How you were built only a couple of years ago, adopted in that family of *****, murders and rapist so you could understand every different aspect of the human psyche! Oh, you thought you were so good, but I have discovered your secret!"

Celeste's apologetic look became confused but intrigued as the girl looked around, reminding Celeste of a scared mouse. It almost seemed like the girl was surprised and scared. But she had approached Celeste, not the other way around... so maybe she was upset that Celeste had been rude by not listening?
Feeling a twinge of guilt she had put on an encouraging smile and listened intently to the girl, not wanting to upset her again. Huh. Celeste didn't think Freja had been stuttering a moment ago. Crap now she felt really bad. That is... until the stuttering stopped and Freja got out what she had been trying to say. What Freja had said the first time.
As Freja spoke the blood drained from Celeste's face and she probably would have looked a sickly green color, if not for the ornage glow of the bonfire. Celeste looked at Freja blankly for a moment then dropped her face into her hands. "Nooooooooooooooo," she groaned. Not here too! This can't be happening. She was so distraught she didn;t even realized she had said her thoughts outloud. "Not here too. This can't.be.happening."

Oh? So she was aware of it? But why was she rejecting them? They seemed to love her so much? All those magical vibes around her! She could be an awesome witch if she wanted too! "W-why d-do you seem so di-distre-distressed?" She asked in real confusion. She wished she had half her talent! "Unless... are th-they... are they e-evil sp-spirits?" That would be awful! Being hunted down all day long, trying to run away from those evil things, wanting to make your life a living hell. "I... I could try to exorcise th-them if...if you want.." She had never tried it, but it shouldn't be really difficult, right?

If there was anything to match this moment – outside of setting fire to the Tepes' building, the mattress being on fire, burning their apartment down.. Uh, well, those were so far ago! Plus, it was different, he had to make an effort then, this one was practically wild. Like stumbling upon a berry bush in the woods versus having to grow your own, it was somehow much better this way. ..That was what it felt like at that moment, anyway. He would probably change his mind later, but, for now, just watch the flames and let that addictive adrenaline flow. He didn't notice Blaire sneaking up on him or anything but the subtle sounds of the fire crackling and engulfing the wood that fed it. He almost wanted to touch it, because even with the heat he felt from here, it wasn't nearly enough to make him feel as alive as he knew it could, even with that sudden heat on his lips and- Oh.
Conor had glanced at Blaire when she called his name, not even recognizing her presence until.. until that happened. Was that.. him? And was that her? Did.. did Blaire really kiss him? His face flushed a red that he really would try to blame on the fire somehow sunburning him, despite the impossibilities of that. Ho- Well, she had done it once before, but she was drunk a-and it didn't count because he was kind of buzzed too and.. and.. His throat clenched and his heart rammed up against his chest cavity, making a loud drum in his ears. W-why had she..? “Uh..” He.. he should just say it back, right? It was New Year's a-and – oh, ******** it. He took her by the wrist and dragged her off to the edge of the Town Square, finding a bench somewhere to sit her down on. He didn't care what had brought this on, whether it was the New Year or what, but he enjoyed it and he would damn himself if he didn't at least take advantage of it. He leaned in and kissed her back, maybe a bit too eagerly, but the fire had him.. well, fired up!
~~~
Cue Jacob walking away to.. do something else. He was bored in this town! Not even a hot chick to tell the boys back home about! ..********, did he seriously think that? He really needed to head back. Tomorrow. He was telling Theresa tonight that he was heading back tomorrow before he started to shout 'howdy' and ask for cups of tea or.. whatever it was that was associated with that old-man speak up there.
Yoakim Jr., left alone with Zap, took a small note of Jacob leaving. Then a much, muuch bigger note when he saw Mitsukai being lead towards him. If Jacob was here, he could scare them away! Not.. not – oh, look, he was heading back over. Probably because he noticed that Usagi was coming too and Usagi was pretty cute. He could try to score with his last night here~! He smiled as charmingly as he could, giving Yoakim a little too rough ruffle of the hair, causing a small squeak from the boy. Junior looked between his rock and Mitsukai shyly, mumbling something too quietly for her to probably hear unless she leaned in. Just a simple hello and how are you, probably. That was what he should say to someone else, yes..? It sounded right.. He wished that this was as easy as it was to play with Aunt Tess or Zap. To make up for the quiet boy, Jacob spoke up to Usagi, “Hey. Name's Jacob.” As smooth as he could, he crossed his arms tightly to let his biceps bulge. Yeah, he bet she liked that~

A cyborg? Elliot looked down thoughtfully. Well, that really would explain a lot of things. Wow, this man was good. "Yes... That would make the most sense," she agreed with a slow nod. "You're very smart." She was impressed! She didn't fully understand what he was talking about, but those were some very grand accusations he was making, so he must have had faith in what he was saying. "How did you figure it out? I was sure I hadn't given anything away!" Well now she was just playing along. She was good at that. It was a useful skill to have.

My dear you have The Gift... Only very few have it... The crowds will cloud your Inner Eye, my child...There is so much I can teach you... Snippets from her Aunt's lectures chased themselves around her head with a faint background of laughter. A familiar embarassed feeling settled over Celeste and she resisted the urge to cringe from her own thoughts. How had her crazy Aunt and her crazy magic followed Celeste all the way to the Atlantic? It just wasn't fair!
Freja's voice slipped easily into Celeste's runaway thoughts and for a moment Celeste was sure that Freja was laughing at her. Just as everyone back home had laughed at her Aunt. Looking up from her hands Celeste looked incredulously at Freja, her mouth slightly agape as the woman spoke of spirits, evil spirits, and exorcism. "No!" Celeste held her hands out palms toward Freja in a stop position, her voice a bit forceful.
She moved her hands in a slow down motion, and tempered her voice. "No exorcisms. Please. I... I don't want to hurt your feelings or anything... but I do not believe in... that sort of thing." She took a couple of unconscious steps away from Freja, her hands still out in front of her.
Uneasily she looked around as another thought occured to her. Was this one of her Aunt's tricks? She brought narrowed eyes back to Freja and dropped her hands, suddenly suspicious. "Who put you up to this? Do you know my Aunt? Ugh! Why can't she just let it GO?!" Celeste was obviously directing the last part to no one in particular. She was more upset then she should have been but this was the one subject that Celeste was sore about and with no warning she was not ready to simply brush it off with a cheery smile.

"Ah!" Exclaimed Neil, lifting a finger to the air. She had admired! He had forced the Truth out of her. Of course, no one could hide anything from Nirvani's #1 investigation reporter. You could try to hide it as logn as you wanted, Neil would always end up finding it! He brought his right hand to his chin and started pacing left and right as he gave his explanation to Elliot. "First of all, a seemignly normal child like you could never have been from a family of ****** and murderers like you Park people are." He still handn't looked into the eldest boy's past, but he was sure he was something just as terrible as Daniel's and his sister's. Probably even worst, being the eldest an the one taking care of them all. "But! After a closer look, someone will notice how... very little emotions you express. Not only that, but you seem to follow people around like it... like if you were programed to do it!" She might have been a cyborg, but it didn't meant that she had he own free will, after all. "That, with various other things, like how you seem to always being studying human behavior leads to the only possible conclusion, that is that you, miss, are a robot of some sort!"
----------------------------------------------
The young woman's blushed tripled after Celest had spoke once more. Freja brought both of her hands on her cheeks, trying to hide it. This was so embarassing. Why had she spoken in the first place? But... she couldn't resist. That redhead had so much potenials! She could feel it in her bones. "B-b-but but.....but..." She started, not quite sure what to say. Instead, she simply looked down on the white ground. She couldn't let it go! It was all her life! She had a magic shop, hunted rare lizard in the forest and practice divinations as a hoby! Even her teddy was hunted and was bossing her around! How could she drop all that... "I... I d-don't know you-your au-aunt. She started, stuttering even more as usual. She only really did that when she was feeling nervous... too bad she was nervous most of the time... "I... I d-don't e-e-ev-even kn-know wh-who you a-are.... j-just.... th-the... the s-spirits following your..." It didn't mater if she didn't believe in it. he spirits were all around her and that was a fact!

     __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ - Blaire Vatonage, Rachel Fate, Lucas Grey, Camelia 'Cam' Grey, & Julia 'Julie' Beaumont - __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ She had done that right? Yeah, she had. It was most certainly why she had a little trouble getting that flustered look on her face. Who knew kissing him while sober was so difficult? It had definitely taken her breath away when he took her wrist and dragged her off to a bench. She had blushed heavily when Conor sat her down, and more so when he returned her kiss. Who knew, after all this years that it would come to this? The kid that always made fun of her, yet was always thought of her. To hell with Lucas trying to drill into her that liking Conor was a mistake. In response to that kiss, well it pretty much turned into a make-out session right there.A slightly surprised look came to Rachel when he took her hand. That was so... gentlemanly of him. "That I am" replied the blond with a smile. Well this was a treat, with that attitude and looks, yes it was. Rachel was pretty glad to have gotten in on the White Day festivities, though she couldn't celebrate all together on first five seconds impressions. "Luckily for us, it's the end of the year." Just in time for the bonfire. "Care to join in?" asked the woman looking back to the bonfire for a moment.It took Lucas a bit, but he finally managed to get Cam off his back, and with some food, to wander off. He glanced around, frowning when he couldn't find Blaire. Odd... They usually spent the festivals together. He pit it to her probably wandering off, and did so himself. Eventually Lucas's attention fell on a girl who was sitting on a bench drawing. Having no artistic talent whatsoever, the boy always found that interesting. So he walked over to her, stopping a bit in front of her. It was close enough to just see a little bit of what she was starting on. "You know that's pretty good" smiled the boy from what he was seeing.This sucked... sure she had food, but there was no Lucas to torture! Damn... Cam was just munching on whatever the heck her cousin bought... she just knew it tasted good. Now she could sit really. She moved over to one of the benches, watching the bonfire. My... what a way to go Camelia. Alone on New Year's... not that she did any better at the city."Same here. I heard that this town really goes overboard with them" Julie told Mariella with an excited smile. After all, who didn't love fireworks? "I'm Julie by the way." Why else did one go outside but to meet other people?
