(Please don't post unless you are Moo, or unless we've invited you to join. xP)
Kailee was very bored.
No one had any time to goof off with her anymore. Mauli was busy trying to teach Vetch to sail, Fen was always off snogging Misae, and Lenta was so close to giving birth that she was always on edge. Finally, Kailee had given up trying to pester Lenta into playing a boardgame with her and had braved the outdoors to go to the SMO center. To her severe dissappointment, there was no one there... T'least, not that she could see. With a heavy sigh, the SM girl flopped into the nearest armchair and glared angrily at the ceiling, her chin resting on her hand. This was not turning out to be a good day.

Isto was very tired.
Let's see, it had been, what, over a week now since he had last slept? Excluding the occasional brief nap he had managed to sneak in, of course. It wasn't that he didn't want to sleep, or that he couldn't fall asleep... Between dealing with one job, looking for a second, taking care two babies (one of whom was extremely clingy) and praparing for another, searching for the Veela and -now- trying to help Moo...well, he just didn't have the time. And now, for the first time in his life, Isto was getting sick.
Not that that prevented him from taking the bike.
The roar of the motorcycle's arrival was drowned out almost immediately by the shrieks of one of its passengers. Before Isto could shut off the bike or even park completely, Moo was off for the new HQ at a run, nearly tripping twice on the hem of her flowing gown before simply hefting it and continuing towards the building. Anything to get away from that beastly...whateveritwas.
Moo ducked into the HQ without relenting in her screams and, upon seeing Kailee, ran towards the girl (who she completely failed to recognize), waving her arms as if to chase her away. "RUN! You have to get out before he sees you, or he'll drag you off on that roaring..metal..thing too!"
"Be quiet, Sao," Isto snapped from the doorway. The woman whirled around, shrieked, and took off in the direction of the kitchen. Sighing, Isto simply rolled his eyes and let her go, waving slightly in greeting to Kai and droppin into the nearest armchair. "She's finally lost it."

Kailee watched in awe as her grandmother ran into the room, screaming about some metallic thing, and dressed in odd old-timey looking clothes. She continued staring as Moo, or, um... Sao... ran into the kitchen, then turned wide-eyed to Isto and gaped at him. Where had he come from?
"What has Gramma Moo lost? And why is she dressed like a princess?" Well, this certainly wasn't boring. Maybe things were looking up after all. "It's a nice dress, but a bit... um... big... And I certainly wouldn't want to wear it if it made me act all crazy."

"Her mind," he replied almost boredly, glaring in the general direction Moo had gone. With a sigh, he closed his eyes and sunk lower in his chair, explaining the situation for the upteenth time to yet another person. "That's how she used to dress and refuses to wear anything else anymore. 'Parently she's from the Past. 17th century, to be exact, and accidently came forward. Long story short, she's taught herself just about everything she needs to know to live in this time, but had an accident a few days back and..er...forgot everything that happened since she came here. She thinks I'm a witch,: he added as an afterthought, reopening an eye to stare in the direction of the kitchen. "No idea how I'll get her back on that bike."

"Maybe you can tell her it's a metal horse." Kailee chipped in helpfully, beaming. This, at the time, seemed like a brilliant idea. After all, people back in the Medieval times used to ride horses, didn't they? It didn't occur to Kailee that not only did a motorcycle not look like a horse, it also did not sound like a horse, eat grass and crap like a horse, or have to be shoe'd like a horse.
"And that you're not a witch, you're just a really good blacksmith. Unless you've already tried that... Then you're kinda screwed." She said cheerily, sitting up in her chair and pulling her knees to her chest. "Can't you just explain to her who she really is...? Or maybe get her memory back somehow?"

"That's how I got her on it the first time, actually." He paused, chuckling softly at the memory. "And then I turned it on. She screamed the whole way here." As if he didn't be enough strange looks driving around, what with the 'hawk and metal arm. Add in a blue haired princess screaming at the top of her lungs and you had the next two occupants for the loony bin. He was just lucky the other cars had scared Moo as much as his bike had, or she probably would have run off at one of the red lights on the way.
Straightening up slightly, he propped his head up on his normal and and yawned, waiting until it passed to continue. "She didn't believe me, because, somehow, she knows Pod from back then, and that made her sure nothing I said could be true. Actually, the only reason she trusted me enough to come near me was because Pod promised I wouldn't curse her." He rolled his eyes, muttering something under his breath, then resumed. "I'd heard some people who have amnesia can sometimes get their memory back by seeing familiar...anythings. Something to trigger it back . So I'm bringing her from place to place in the hopes that that might happen."

"Oooh, that's a smart idea." Kailee nodded, wrapping her arms around her legs and resting her chin on her knees. This was all very odd, but intriguing, nonetheless. She felt bad for Moo (whoops, Sao xD), though. She was in a completely different world than what she was used to, and it must've been scary. "Um, but... Who's Pod? And maybe you should take her to see X and Slush. T'seems to me that they mean a lot to her... Or at least, she knows about 'em..."

Isto shrugged, grimacing faintly. "No earthly. He showed up at Moo''s a while back and she let him stay because she knew him from...well, somewhere. Wouldn''t say where. And now he''s still there because she still recognizes him, even though she''s already kicked half of her own family out of the house." His frown deepened, but soon passed. He grinned faintly, shaking his head. "Tried it. And then I kiss Slush goodbye and Moo started shrieking about how I was a witch again."

Kailee laughed, ears perking up. "She thinks you're a witch 'cause you're gay? I thought for sure it was the motorcycle... Man, she'd better not get around me, then. Although, i've got no one to kiss goodbye, so I might be safe." Then, she fell silent, lips pursing as she thought. This Pod fellow didn't sound very pleasant...
"Why doesn't someone just kick Pod out? He sounds like a moron. A very disruptive, unsavory moron." She frowned. "And then move the family back in. No friend's worth keeping around if he or she makes family leave."

"Among other things," he replied with a grin, gesturing with his good hand to his metal arm and mohawk. "Though the motorcycle is part of it." Probably a big part of it after that screaming ride. Sigh. But, it couldn't be helped. Maybe he could tie Moo back onto the bike and not get arrested before they got home.
Snapping back to the conversation, he quirked a brow, then shook his head. "Oh, no, Pod's a pretty nice guy, actually. Bit more of a whore than I'd like in Moo's house, but nice otherwise. It wasn't his idea to kick everyone out. Moo tossed Banda out almost as soon as she saw him. You know that old coat he's always wearing? Thought he was a peasant, and she couldn't have that in her castle." He rolled his eyes. "No idea where Banda went, but I'll find him. And the others."

"Awwww, poor Banda..." Kailee furrowed her eyebrows, ears flattening to the sides of her head. "Gramma better snap out of it quick, then. If she doesn't, she'll end up getting her memory back and having no family left..."
This was all very disturbing. Kailee prayed silently that the same wouldn't happen to Lenta; otherwise, she might not have a home either. Kailee wasn't sure of Lenta's past, just like she had never been sure of Moo's, so it was a nightmare that could easily become reality. Or... Since she was living in Moo's house, it might happen anyways...
"I think i'll stay away from her for a little while." Kailee remarked quietly, lifting one hand to tuck a stray piece of hair behind her ear.

"I don't think you need to worry," Isto replied slowly, then shrugged. "Pod and I managed to convince her not to throw anyone else out, though she tried to toss the shorties. They wandered off for the day, and by the time they came back, she was willing to let them stay. We just have to find Banda now.." He trailed off with a sigh, reclosing his eyes. Isto didn't have the faintest idea where his brother would have gone. Nor, for that matter, did anyone else, what with Moo as she was. Hopefully he would show up again in a few days...

"Good..." Kailee breathed a sigh of relief, ears perking back up once more. "Um, if you want... I'll help you look... I mean, i've got nothing else to do, not with Lenta the way she is and Mauli off with Vetch. Just come by and tell me when you guys start looking, if you do." Then, Kailee curled her tail around her feet, staring off towards the kitchen.
