[season 4.6 - the madness continues!] insert random roleplay logging here, there is probably a LOT of missed stuff. 1 - Noe rescue RP 2 - "Oh There You Are" [IM RP, Seth & Eli] Eli doesn't want to own up to why he hasn't been around the apartment lately. 4/21 3 - "Up On The Rooftop" [IM RP, Seth & Eli, feat Missy and Dacj] Directly follows "Oh There You Are"--Seth and Eli overindulge and end up having hilarous tipsy conversations, and pay for it with hangovers that Dacj cheerfully nurses them through. 4/23 4 - "...MENA! >O " [thread RP, the Cottage Co + Seth] Mena accidentally unleashes a virus that turns certain Hytes back into their animal forms, and Eli has to cope with being an animal!kuppy for the first time ever. He gets to show off his bravery when disarming a brewing Dacj situation--and shoves Seth in a pool. 5 - inthread RP - Eli meets Blair and Sorcha for the first time, and also has his first run-in with adult!Dacj. He's not very amused XD 6 - IM RP (mainly Seth & Dacj, feat Eli) - Eli walks in on a tickle fight and wonders if he'll ever stop having nightmares. He's really surprised to learn that Sorcha is not only interested in Dacj, but has managed to steal his sister's first kiss. Dacj tells him to kick up it a notch with Kamiko. 7 - inthread RP page 3297 to 3303 - Seth & Eli - being used as a pillow, talk of Dacj. Eli finds himself slightly jealous of how close Dacj is with Seth (compared to his relationship with his sister). "The last sane man". Relationship advice and more! 8 - IM RP (Sorcha and Eli) - In possibly the worst move ever, Sorcha consults Eli for advice on Dacj. Much flailing ensues--because Sorcha's trying to kill him for making Dacj feel bad about herself.

[IM RP - Sorcha & Eli] 5/28/10
Eli: *is sprawled out on the couch, hands behind his head and contemplating the ceiling, vaguely daydreaming about maybe taking Dacj's advice from yesterday*
There was a loud BANG and the front door burst open Eli had a chance to see a blur of red fur and pink jump suit before being lifted off the couch and shaken rather vigorously while his assailant yelled at him "WHAT DO I DO NOW THAT SHE SAID YES?!?!"
Eli: O___o *doesn't appreciate being shaken like a ragdoll--and he could've sworn Seth locked the front door when he went to work--but then the oxygen loss starts to impair the kuppy's thought process* Sor--Sorcha! Can't breathe! PUT ME DOWN! neutral
Sorcha: *Sorcha startled lets go with one hand and lets the other arm go limp and then starts to quickly pace back and forth apparently completely forgetting that she still has a deathgrip on Eli's shirt with one hand* WHAT DO I DO WHAT DO I DO?!?!
Eli: *is half dragged along for the ride and is beginning to wonder if Sorcha maybe isn't a bit touched in the head* SORCHA. CALM DOWN. ALSO CONTINUE TO LET ME GO. *he speaks in the only authoratative voice he has, but he's not sure it's enough to get her to stop freaking out--and manhandling him while she's at it*
Sorcha:*Eli's authoritative voice does succeed in getting Sorcha's attention but probably not in the way that Eli had hoped. Sorcha remembering why she came here spins Eli in front of her again and and reasserts her grip with the other hand and pins Eli against the couch Her full attention now focused on Eli* WHAT DO I DO NOW THAT DACJ SAID YES?!?!
Eli: *now he's beginning to wonder about Dacj's preferences, the way Sorcha's manhandling him--is she this bad with everyone, or only when she's worked up? He has a brief flash of confusion as he realizes Sorcha has actually come to ask HIM for advice on dating--let alone dating a tentacle monster--but he assumes a neutral, quiet look as he carefully begins to pry off Sorcha's grip with the utmost of patience* I would suggest perhaps a date. Dinner, a movie...maybe a picnic?
Sorcha: *At being given advice Sorcha's attention is diverted from her panic and she calms down a bit and this point and realizes she's got her girlfriend's brother pinned against a couch and despite the open relationship bit that that would probably cross a boundary or too. Sorcha abruptly lets go and steps back* Ah sorry I think I was panicking a bit there.. that's kind of odd don't think I've every really panicked before, I mean I was so happy when she said yes but after a while I started thinking and realized I don't really know anything about romance and odd worries and things started popping up* Sorcha's speech starts to speed up getting more and more worked up again as she keeps talking* like maybe the only reason she said yes was because I'm the only one who ever asked and not cause she really likes me and I didn't plan this out at all did it spontaneously BUT WHEN I DO THINGS SPONTANEOUSLY THEY EXPLODE AND BURST INTO FLAMES AND AND-
Eli: *now he just feels like a terrible person for thinking horrible things about her, when clearly she's just nervous and...uh, not wanting his sister to burst into flames apparently...* Woah, woah! Calm down, Sorcha, you're not going to make my sister burst into flames, really! Deep breaths, now, just...count to ten or something. I'm sure if Dacj didn't like you she'd have told you instead of saying yes--my sister's pretty honest about that sort of thing. And spontaneity isn't necessarily a bad thing--you got your point across, right?
Sorcha: Eh well i don't really want to experience the relationship equivalent of exploding and bursting into flames either...*Sorcha takes a few deep breaths and pulls her self together a little* A-And she never actually said she liked me she just said she would 'try it' and with some of the stuff she said earlier it kinda makes me worried that she went along with it because it's better then nothing...
Eli: *reaches out to pat Sorcha on the shoulder in what he hopes is a comforting gesture* That's not you, that's her. Dacj...is kind of weird about relationships. I think she worries she'll be too much trouble. If anything, she's probably worried about hurting you, and that does show she cares... *isn't sure he's getting his point across but doesn't know what else to say*
Sorcha: Ha well you've know Dacj since before I was born and your siblings so you must be fairly close..so I guess you'd be able to have better understanding of her actions then me...* Sorcha does seem to finally be moving out of a panicky state, it also seems like she's trying very hard to buy Eli's explanation* Weird about relationships how? what do you mean too much trouble?
Eli: *scratches his head, embarrassed, at Sorcha's presumption--sure, they were closeish, but not really...* Oh. Um. I think she's really self conscious about her body, for one thing... *they are moving into perilous awkward territory* And hasn't she freaked out before about leaving marks on you, just from tickling?
Sorcha: Eh? Why would she be self conscious about her body she's beautiful! And I don't think she's ever freaked out but she has worried about it... Though really I've done a lot worse to my self when things I was tinkering with exploded while I was working on them hehe Na-kun swears he's used more healing spells since I arrived then the in the rest of his magical career
Eli: *at least his "uncle" cares about Sorcha's welfare...though if he cared more wouldn't he stop her from tinkering in the first place?!* I guess...it might be partly my fault. I sort of have a tentacle phobia...and maybe she's internalized that and thinks it's her fault--which it isn't! *he's quick to protest before Sorcha can* Still, it's given her something more to worry over. And she can be very broody, as you've noticed. Even if you've done worse to yourself on accident, if she's the one who causes the harm, she'll find it hard to forgive herself--she takes it too personally.
Sorcha: *Sorcha stops for a moment and then slowly and very deliberately puts her hands back on Eli's shoulders and leans in close smiling a tight smile yet her eyes are harsh and when she speaks there's an edge of steel to her voice her hands tightening until her knuckles turn white.* So. Your. Saying. The. Reason. Dacj. Feels. So. Bad. About. Herself. Is. Because. Of. You. You. Hurt. My. Friend.
Eli: *suddenly fears Sorcha far more than he has ever feared just about anyone* Nononono it's because our mother is a LUNATIC who thinks showing tentacle rape to impressionable young children to keep them out of her lab is a GREAT IDEA. I can't help being afraid of her tentacles any more than I can help breathing, kekesmaphai's sake! But Dacj takes things PERSONALLY when I've had this problem for LONGER THAN SHE'S BEEN ALIVE. *desparately hopes Sorcha is paying attention instead of contemplating messy ways to kill him*
Sorcha: Sorcha stares deep into Eli's eyes for a good long while her expression unwavering her left hand starts taping out a tempo a tempo on Eli's shoulder as she thinks, abruptly she lets go and turns away* No no I can't Dacj Would be upset* Sorcha starts to pace in front of Eli, but unlike her normal random bouncing all her motions are cold and deliberate she mutters to her self occasionally* What if I clone a replacement? No he's a contractor... * Sorcha abruptly turns back to Eli her expression bitterly cold* Circumstances aside making Dacj feel that her body is something to be feared and rejected is inexcusable
Eli: *really and truly thinks Sorcha's gone off the deep end--but it's a very chilling sort of a deep end. He's both amazed at Sorcha's devotion and vaguely ashamed at her rebuke* It's not something I can help. It's not like I don't /try/...she's my sister, of course I love her and I want her to feel loved! That's something that I can't give her though--you understand that, right? Maybe one day, we'll be able to hug as normal siblings--but until that day, she doesn't hate me for my fear. And I try everything--/everything/ I can to make that day come sooner. It's a problem that isn't easily solved, Sorcha. But you have part of the solution--/you/ can tell her what she needs to hear.
*Sorcha's expression starts to warm when she hear Eli say that he loves Dacj and that he want's her to be loved and as he finishes talking she cracks a wry smile* Congratulations you've avoided becoming my first attempt at a fate worse then death* she twirls away from Eli her motions appearing very wild and random after losing the deliberate edge* Of course you're not entirely off the hook but I think I can keep my revenge at a level that Dacj can Laugh at it now
Eli: *sweatdrops and thanks whatever gods he can think of that speeches about love actually work with homicidal pyschopaths* Ahahaha...sure. *though Dacj's humor runs pretty macabre >.>;;* I am serious though. I think if anyone can help her with her particular issues, it's probably you. But I was explaining why she would hesitate in the first place. And I'm certain she's worried about hurting you too.
Sorcha: *nods to herself* Right right and to that end your going to explain to me how to successfully conduct these date activities
Eli: I can advise you on the dating. Anything physical, and you're on your own, kiddo. *somehow he suspects Sorcha won't find that a problem* S'like I said in the beginning--go on a date! Don't make it too big of a deal, just go for it. If you agonize over every detail, things'll go wrong...that's kinda just the way life is though. Use that spontaneity.
Sorcha: err Right but what do you do on a date ? And more importantly what kind of date activities does Dacj like?
Eli: Er--you just sort of hang out, enjoy each other's company and get to know one another better, really... *has to chuckle just a little* Sorcha, I have no idea what she prefers for dates--you can ask her though. Maybe planning a date together would be a sort of casual date...
Sorcha: Hmm alright that seems doable, So what kind of stuff does Dacj enjoy doing in general?
Eli: *wryly* From what I've gathered...tree climbing, ceiling hanging, anything and everything to do with the beach and ocean, causing trouble and possibly baking cupcakes. *though he rather doubts that's what Seth and Dacj are actually up to in their secret nefarious plottings* I'm sure the list is much, much longer though. And Dacj will try just about anything if it's framed in an interesting-sounding way.
Sorcha: Hmm well it's a place to start. Do you think building Octopus launchers for *Sorcha glances at Eli then glances away* entirely innocent purposes would be sufficiently interesting?
Eli: .......Octopus launchers, huh. *points out matter of factly* You know, she does actually like me and doesn't want to kill me or reduce me to insanity. I'm just saying.
Sorcha: *Gives her best impression of an innocent look* what ever are you implying Eli besides I doubt fist sized Octopuses have ever driven some one to insanity
Eli: Sorcha, you just can't /do/ subtle, so I'm not sure you should even try. And, yes, taking advantage of my phobia is very mean and, given enough nightmare fuel, I probably would end up very badly...
Sorcha: You know the best treatment for phobias is exposure, well aside from removing the fear centers off the brain but that has a rather lot of side effects and as for Subtle how will I improve if i don't try?
Eli: Yeah, I've tried exposure therapy--it's really not effective in my case. Dacj's not my only sister with tentacles, for one thing. *has to shrug at Sorcha's last statement* I guess you're right...just kind of seems like a lost cause... >.>;;;
Sorcha: Bah a Geas to take care of a baby squid or Octopus might work or go for broke and try reprogramming directly stimulating the pleasure centers of your brain while exposing you to tentacle imagery...
Eli: Yeah, no offense here Sorcha, but I don't think you want me getting a tentacle fetish in place of my phobia. *tries very hard not to think too closely on that, lest horrible mental images ensue* You might--*stresses* /might/--be onto something with the geas. I'll keep that option in mind.
Sorcha: well even a fetish would be better then the phobia for Dacj... and if we kept the imagery strictly nonsexual and stopped as soon as the fear response stopped activating...
Eli: *doesn't agree with Sorcha at all on it being better for Dacj--if she's not moping about her body image, she's moping about something else* All the same, I'd rather not mess with my brain...
Sorcha: But... Science! and it sounds like so much fun too try ...murr I suppose I should respect the boundries of the people important to Dacj... *Sorcha smirks at Eli before continuing intentionally pushing his buttons a little* Besides lots of passionate sex should also help clear up Dacj's body image issues and that's even more fun
Eli: *doesn't think Sorcha is actually respecting his boundaries at the moment, but manages to keep a bland, neutral expression on his face while thinking of rainbows and fluffy clouds* I'm sure it will. You probably have a ways to go before it's possible though, Dacj being so hesitant. *the best revenge is a straight face, he decides*
Sorcha: Ha~ your right this relationship will probably take a lot of work but Dacj's worth it *Smiles a huge predatory grin* You know I could take that reaction as a challenge, I'll let you off this time don't want to push you too hard all at once after all
Eli: Most relationships do. *he reflects that cows should never, ever look predatory, as he continues on* ...And I appreciate your restraint. *though honestly he'd rather she stop trying to push him in general...the last thing he needs is yet another person on his case about something*
Sorcha: You be good to Dacj now. * Sorcha puts a small bit of threat into her words but smiles and continues * And thank you for the advice *Sorcha turns to leave but before she quite makes it out of the apartment* Oh and sorry about the door
Eli: *wryly* I'll try... *he had completely forgotten about the door, and, once Sorcha drew his attention back to it, waved his hand dismissively* What's magic for if I can't handle a bit of door fixing? Good luck, Sorcha.
Sorcha: Thank you, also does that trick work on any thing or do you have to understand what your fixing? *Sorcha stops just short of leaving Mad scientist curiosity buzzing over the repair magic*
Eli: It helps to understand what I am fixing, yes. And no, I'm not going to fix any of your dangerous objects for you. *makes 'go on' gestures with both hands* Go on, go call my sister and set up a date.
Sorcha: 'Helps' that would imply it isn't strictly necessary, and say a battle field ambulance isn't a dangerous object reverse engineering that kind of technology could help a lot of people *Sorcha shamelessly tries to appeal to Eli's better tendencies* But yes I've got a date to set up, advancing human medical science can wait~ * Sorcha then finishes walking out the door*
Eli: Uh huh...get Dacj to vouch that you won't be using it for anything but noble purposes--taking over the world is not a noble purpose--and we'll talk about this again. *waves goodbye after her and sets about fixing the mess left behind*
*finished*
