Session Start: Sun Aug 12 01:38:06 2007 Session Ident: #lunar-iog2 * Logging for #lunar-iog2 started * TheStoryteller changes topic to '-= Chapter 47.1: Star-crossed | Location: Port Town Carribia | Pool: 0 MXP =- http://storen.rpgcafe.net/IoG/ =-' == Interlude Start == Mikel dashes away as the sun sets and evening begins to take hold at the lovely resort. back at the Surf n Turf cafe, the nightlife is in full swing, albiet still a bit less than usual as some people have fled in advance of the inclement weather. Despite the winds and looming danger, it is still a very pretty night... In a little secluded spot in the open air portion, Emili is no longer as hidden before, and is sipping a little passion fruit juice drink and watching the clouds roll in and the sun vanish, patiently awaiting her date to arrive. Her silvery hair and purple eyes slightly reflect the stars that are beginning to come out at this time. >> Soon enough the sound of a vehicle can be heard in the night as Mikel pulls up, having retrieved his vehicle from the docks to possibility help facilitate escapes from prying eyes if need be. A flip of the key and it's turned off as he hops off, making his way into the cafe. It takes him a bit, but soon enough he's found the spot where Emili's waiting. He offers a smile and a half bow more out of amusement. "Took a bit longer than I thought it would, sorry about that. I haven't kept you waiting for too long, I hope?" Emili returns the smile, eyes glowing with joy. "I doubted you, but only for a minute...! There's still plenty of time." The disguised star dragon pats the seat next to her a few times with a gloved hand. * Mikel chuckles as he takes the offered seat, glancing over at Emili. "A minute of doubt? I should have tried to slip away quicker, then. Lesson learned, I suppose." [Emili] Mm. There's not a lot of certainty in the world for people like me, Mikel. [Emili] Kind of always pretending and drifting around... * Mikel raises an eyebrow. "Only to avoid the mess with the Prophetess at least as far as pretending goes, I'd think? I suppose your duty means you have to be constantly on the move, whatever it includes besides trying to fix things like the ruins." [Emili] Oh... it really is everything. I'm stuck between a lot of worlds and part of none. But that's one of the curses of being the Star Dragon. Mom never said it was easy... * Mikel grimaces for a moment. "Stuck between worlds?" [Emili] The light and the dark always fought over me since I was born. I don't hate my mome for being tricked, but I got tricked a lot too. Used by Zeio the prophet-demon, and a little by Lucia even... [Emili] I'm free now, but the knowledge now forces me to bear everyne ELSE's mistakes too. It's hard... * Gayo (foon@stjhnbsu83w-156034199093.nb.aliant.net) has left #lunar-iog2 * Mikel glances over at Emili as he leans back in his seat a bit. "Not sure what to say to that... You seem to have gotten through it alright, though I'd say you're at least a part of this world to some degree. Unless you're pulling some sort of projection trick like Tanan and hiding out somewhere not of this world, I guess." Emili laughs as sips the last of her drink. "Hah, no.. I'm real flesh and blood! No dimensional tricks here. Tanan could have his body back someday too with practice... it's not a hard trick to master. You don't have to be a Johnathan." * Mikel chuckles. "Probably makes it a lot easier though. I've been working on something similar but I've still got a bit more to go before it's of any use." He spares a look at her drink, grinning. "Should probably start with the ice cream..." The grin fades though as he realizes something. "...though, I'm, uh, a bit broke at the moment. Should probably just say that now. Ehe." He reaches up to scratch the back of his head, more than a lit embarassed. * Amy is now known as Niri >> A few pieces of silver roll out behind a nearby potted plant. * Niri is now known as Amy Emili blinks a moment as he declares this, snickering. "Oh, so I have to pick up the tab?" * Mikel ...blinks, glancing at the plant and then back at the silver. "...okay, maybe not quite." A hand quickly scoops up said silver. "Looks like nature took mercy on me." [Emili] Oh it must be fate, Mikel... Emili glances around for a second, and leans in closer to whisper. "Don't worry about money. I'm great at getting a five finger discount. tee-hee." * Mikel shakes his head, a smile reappearing on his face. "Maybe.. but I still have to insist on covering with this little blessing now. S'how it goes, and all." A waitress comes over about that time, seeing Emili's guest has arrived. "Aloha" says she with a pleasant voice and a rose in her dark hair. "Can I get you two dears anything?" * Mikel looks at Emili, letting her order first before he does. Emili get a glimmer in her eyes. "Ooh... I want the largest portion of your double chocolate macadamia crunch on a banana split with.. um.. lots of sprinkles. And a cherry on top!" [Waitress] ...my.. I think we're down to our last batch of that. You're in luck miss. * Mikel raises an eyebrow for the barest of moments before speaking. "I'll go with some chocolate ice cream topped with whipped cream... and I suppose a cherry as well. Can't go without that." [Waitress] A real classic guy, huh... will do sweetie. The woman heads to a few other tables [Emili] I can't wait. I haven't had a good ice cream in forever! [Emili] Thanks Mikel. This means a lot to me. :) * Mikel waves a hand, grinning. "No worries. Everyone needs a bit of ice cream every now and then. Not much time to stop at a parlor while wandering about the world I guess though, huh?" [Emili] Nope. I hope Niri can survive that long.. heehee. * Mikel smirks. "I'm pretty sure we're stocking ice cream. Worst case, we try making it again. Without making quite as much as a mess as last time, I hope. Takes too long to clean out of clothes." He gives Emili a curious look for a moment as he leans back. "Okay, vaguely paranoid question. Were you actually following us or something? I'd put it down to coincidence but with stuff like Niri's mom watching us... well, paranoid!" Been around Ryllan too long, I think. [Emili] I shouldn't lie to you, Mikel.. I was playing catchup ever since you left the crumbled ruins of the Prophets... * Mikel hrms for a moment. "...Suppose Lure's escape put us a bit ahead. How'd you manage to follow us?" [Emili] *grin* I'm a dragon, silly. Do I really have to answer that? [Emili] I knew you'd have to pass through Carribia eventually, and we both need to know what happened with those two fighting, right? I tracked them here, where the dimensional tunnel ended... [Emili] It was on my to do list anyway. Kill a few birds with one shot, mm? * Mikel lets out a sigh. "I suppose not. Stupid question. Had to ask, though." He mulls for another moment, nodding. "True... brings me to my other worry, tho'. You're /positive/ you can handle Pandora's wacko magic, right? I'm honestly a bit worried, considering how past plans with her have gone." Emili blushes a little. 'ARe you actually worried about me...?" * Amy is now known as Niri * Lucca is now known as Trune * Mikel shifts his gaze for a moment. "W-well, yeah! I wasn't there when the people in New Meribia and Takkar got attacked, but the Prophetess managing to get at Ishtar and then manage to weasel out of the surprise that got sprung on her... I can't help but worry. Especially after being on the recieving end of it at Raculi." >> A barely concealed gigglesnort is heard from behind the nearby potted plant. >> An equally concealed (that is, barely concealed) shh noise comes from behind the same potted plant. * Mikel spares the plant another raised eyebrow, hand creeping up to his face. "(m)Worst sneaking ever." Emili's eye looks briefly past Mikel at the plant, but she says nothing about it, instead putting a hand to her cheek and closing her eyes. "Oh Mikel... I've been training awhile incase we met in a bad way. I'm confident my Heritage Form is immune to her Truth Reaver. She'd be silly to try that trick and only hrut herself with the Star power it'd drain!" [Emili] And that strange island's fountain of Star energy makes it even harder -- we're not playing on her home turf anymore., and look what you did there... * Mikel looks at Emili, nodding. "Well, if you're sure... we ended up being given watch over one of the ships of the expedition to check out the island anyways. If she's there... well, we'll deal with her." He raises an eyebrow, mulling. "You have any idea why there's a concentration of Star energy there? I can't imagine Pandora caring much for it, considering how well she took to getting shot with the stuff before." As Emili podners the response, their ice cream arrives with a smile and a bow from the staffer [Emili] ...hold that thought, hotshot. Right now the world takes a backseat to creamy goodness... *picks up sppon and digs in zealously* :D * Mikel raises an eyebrow, mouthing 'hotshot' to himself before he starts on his own ice cream. >> *quiet snigger* >> There's a rustle from the potted plant as a hand suddenly raises from it! It gives Mikel a quick thumbs up before dissapearing again! * Mikel ponders the pros and cons of hurling a spoonful of ice cream at the plant. In the end the waste of ice cream is too much, so he just continues eating. [Emili] Mm.. ooh so goood.... o_O [Emili] *between mouthfuls* Pandora's probably... ended up there due to it.. mmm.. being the weakest spot in the.. ooh, creamy... dimensional matrix... * Mikel pauses with a spoonful of ice cream halfway to his mouth, mulling. "...and she ended up in the middle of a Star magic concentration. Serves her right for not just letting it stop after the trap got sprung. Headmaster better be alright, though." And then back to the ice cream. >> The whispering continues in a low rustle. Or it could just be the plant's leaves shaking in the island breeze... [Emili] For all we know, he's beaten her by now... but the storms thing is strange. [Emili] Could be a ghost of the past entirely different... *scoop* yummy. I knew this place was the best! That'd be too easy, though! I wouldn't mind, but well. If he's beaten her already then I can let Niri just beat him up for various answers then. * Mikel takes another spoonful of ice cream, nodding. "It is! I'm gonna have to come here again later." Emili smiles, and then sweatdrops as she realizes almost her entire bowl is gone so quickly. 'Erk.. I got.. carried away.." ..how long has it been since you last had ice cream? [Emili] A long time... really long time. Oh, but not anymore! * Mikel grins. "You can be forgiven then. It's to be expected if it's been that long." Emili gives Mikel a demure glance. "But for sweetness, you're definitely a close second." * Niri sporfles * Mikel turns red, his wit utterly failing him for once. "I, uh, erm, thanks, ehe." >> Soft, choking sounds come from behind the plant, as someone tries desperately to keep from laughing out loud. Emili giggles. "Oh, I've always wanted to say that line.. it's like a romance novel!" >> There's another rustle from the plant as at first there is a shushing noise, but then another choking noise comes from the plant as well. [Emili] One of the old Star Dragon really liked those stories... * Mikel coughs, trying to cool down with the last spoon of ice cream his own bowl has. "Ah. Aha. What does the Star Dragon do, anyways? Just fix wrinkles in time like those ruins and the like? I suspect there's more to it, but." Emili pats the small sealed diary that's hanging by her side. "I've got the memories of everyone that ever lived, passed down from my mother, Sandra through this book for me." [Emili] The Star Dragon's original duty was to watch over the gate between the Blue Star and Lunar. Noone should pass until the right time. Emili looks sheepish. "Well, hiro managed to get that throw out the window..." ^^; << thrown >> * Mikel mulls. "Everyone's memories, huh..." He snickers, nodding. "Yeah, he told me and Niri and Tanan about that little stunt." [Emili] The Star Dragon is now just this bundle of power and responsibility to watch over stuff that's passed along to people... So... just a guardian of Blue Star sorta, then? [Emili] The whole Unraveling was rather messy, so I've been busy learning how to make everything right with the change. * Mikel raises an eyebrow. "Messy?" [Emili] Yeah! You saw Machpelah! or should I say the Mystic Ruins of Lunar. How did they still exist if it was supposed to be merely that old world temple? [Emili] It is echoes of the old world that for some reason or another didn't vanish. Ghosts... but not people, whole buildings and places. * Mikel frowns. "Good point, I guess... suppose a few, uh, wrinkles are to be expected considering." Emili has a final scoop before grinning. "You do understand what Lunar was, right.. did Lure tell you?" * Mikel closes his eyes, thinking. "I think I missed some of the explanation before he passed on sending a message to be honest. I know it's where humanity used to be before coming to Blue Star... and that it was basically a dream of sorts. Or an illusion." [Emili] Yep. The 'Illusion of Grandeur' the Prophetess once called it... but like any dream, some people don't wake up easily... ...hence the problems in folks and places. Emili nods and wipes her mouth with a napkin. "How about we finish up and head outside? The stars are starting to look so pretty... before the clouds cover them up." * Mikel grins, nodding. "That's fine. I brought my ride along as well, if you're interested in a drive and looking around this place." He sets the silver that rolled out earlier onto the tabletop, wondering for a moment if that's going to cover everything. It covers the meal, though Mikel's short a tip, but Emili discreetly throws a few silver in for good measure. ;) * Mikel is only a bit embarassed then, though soon enough his grin is back. "I'll just have to make it up with the drive, then." She's quick to hang off his arm like a typical girl. "Ooh, I'd almost forgot about that ride." [Emili] I have something to show you, too. If you still want some "special training".. *wink* >> The plant rustles once again and a sound that almost sounds like a snort of surprise. It quickly stops, however. * Mikel raises an eyebrow. "Forgot? I'm surprised Tanan hasn't warned you to stay far away from anything I'm driving already or something." Soon enough he's turning red again, though this time he manages to not go completely tounge tied. "Suppose I'll have to find us a good spot then... no sunset for us to glide off into I'm afraid." Soon enough he's leading her to where he parked, looking a bit more relaxed at the sight of his vehicle. Emili claps her hands. "An ATV! Oh they are great for the beach... and you've even put lightning bolt decals on it..." There's a slight spark of Thunder essence from her hands as they meet and she mentions this. >> As soon as they are safely out of the ice cream parlor, there's a gigglesnort and the sound of mildly disturbed laughter from behind the plant. * Mikel grins. "Well, it /is/ one of the bits of magic I'm skilled in, so..." He slides onto the ATV, gesturing for Emili to sit behind him. "I suppose I should recommend hanging on though. Wouldn't do to send you flying or anything." * Trune suddenly falls out from behind the plant, clutching his stomach and laughing his ass off, "Oh man, oh man. He'll never live this down, ever!" A bunch of the staff and patron look oddly at Trune. :o * Mikel gets this sudden sinking feeling for a moment, though it quickly fades. * Niri stumbles out from behind the plant, giggling herself as she waves unconcernedly to a waitress. "Table for two?" Emili doesn't delay in hopped on the back of the wide seat, and wraps her arms around Mikel's midsection tightly. She's quite strong with that hug. [Emili] Oh if we go flying, you're coming with me, hotshot. ;) * Trune (~lucca@staff.lunarnet.org) Quit (Quit: Quote #18 That's so it. I'm putting Rachel in kneehigh tights and a silky bra. That'll be her final armor for SoM. * Storen squeeezes!) * Niri is now known as Amy * Mikel raises an eyebrow for a moment as he starts it up, revving the engine for a moment as the adept grins. "Don't think I'd complain much about that. Here we go!" And with that and a peal of tires he sends it zooming, making for the parts of the island outside of the town proper... and off the road at the first chance he gets. Needless to say after that Mikel brings it over the occasional bump or two, sending them airborne for moments a time and giving reason for his warning to hold on. As Mikel takes some of the increasingly large bumps in the sandy shores, he begins to notice the hangtime increasing after each one. Puzzled, he looks around wondering if the vehicle had suddenly become a glider.. and realizes Emili's slowly sprouting a pair of ethereal starlight wings that possibly only he can see clearly. [Emili] Wheeeeeee! * Mikel blinks for a moment at this before grinning as he sends them over another bump. "We need to do this more often, definitely!" Another drawn out moment of gliding through the air, then he sends it into a sharp turn towards one of the beaches. At this point they're a fair distance from the town proper... which probably was partly his intent. [Emili] I really did need a vacation! [Emili] It feels so nice to just have some fun :D * Mikel nods as he brings it onto the beach, churning up both sand and the occasional blast of seawater from the tide in their wake. "Without taking a bit of time to relax every now and then you just end up wound too tight, which does no one any good!" A twist of the wheel and they're skidding across the beach, slowly bringing them to a spot right at the ocean's edge. "Not everyone seems to get that sometimes, though." Emili is actually breathing a bit hard, excited by his reckless driving. If only the rest of the gang were so appreciative. [Emili] I'm just still a ditzy little girl, Mikel.. much as I try to grow up, I keep wanting to just play like the old days -- [Emili] Everyone still a kid inside, they just learn to hdie it really well. * Mikel shakes his head, shifting a bit in his seat to place his arm a bit around her. "S'nothing wrong with that, as far as I'm concerned. I suppose you're right about that though..." He flips the atv off, a grin slowly reappearing on his face. "Need a bit of a breather? This should be a good spot for star gazing..." Emili nods and slips her almost vice-like grip on his stomach off and glides down nto the sand with a little ripple before the remnants of her enchantment shatter into bits of starlight. * Mikel raises an eyebrow for a moment. "Handy little trick, that." [Emili] Mmm... there's a lot of tricks I have. As a Dragon and a seeker... [Emili] You're not too shabby yourself, though Mikel. I can feel some great willforce potential in your veins. :) * Mikel raises an eyebrow. "I'm just good at what I can do, pretty much. Thunder and water magic are the only elemental magics I can use, so..." Emili stretches out on the sand. [Emili] Why only those two? * Mikel shrugs, standing up and making his way over. "Dunno. My attempts at the other elements have ended up with... well, pretty much no results. Haven't had any since I started learning willforce back at the academy, so eventually I stopped trying and focused on what I could actually use. I'm a bit envious of folks like Trune who can use all of them, really." [Emili] Different strokes for different folks, so it goes [Emili] Maybe I could help you a little bit with your Thunder magic... what do you think? * Mikel offers another shrug. "Perhaps..." He tilts his head as he looks at Emili. "Oh? I'm not about to say no to help in getting better or anything." [Emili] Or we could just lay here and enjoy the view... *smile* * Mikel mulls. "...that's also tempting, though." [Emili] Did you say before you wanted to learn the art of projections? * Mikel nods. "I was asking Tanan abou tit earlier, yeah... I'm pretty sure s'what I need for something I've been working on for a bit. It's, uh, tricky to say the least, but if it works, well..." [Emili] The ultimate technique of an element is crafting raw power into any form you want, namely a manifestation of yourself! I think.. Elementalors are a lot like that... * Mikel nods. "Their projections when Trune calls them seems to be along the same lines, at least..." Emili hmms, staring at particularly bright star and smiles. "Oh.. maybe I should just demonstrate." A giggle is then followed by a hop up with that same ripple ffect in the sand. It's like her feet didn't touch it directly, rather a gentle aura pushed the grains away. * Mikel blinks, just watching for now. "Demonstrate?" Holding out her hand, darkness and starlight swirls about it and elongate to form into a beautiful glaive of light and dark, bound by a rose on it's haft. [Emili] This really simple for me, but it takes a lot of focus for a normal human... [Emili] First let's get a little.. electricity going between us.. heehee. * Mikel lets out a low whistle. "Can see why...." Then he's turning a bit red again of course at the line. "You're doing that just to get me to blush now, aren't you?" >> Emili raises her hands and begins focusing the gathering Thunder elemental force from the storms in her mind. The air crackles with charge, as finally a bolt of force zaps both Emili and Mikel. Thunder essence! Both are now Thunder Soul'd. Emili grins, as Mikel subliminaly wonders if she's trying to somehow outdo Niri's weaker technique on a certain level. [Emili] Oh, I'm just warming up and heightening your sensitivty to the flows of energy for this next trick... * Mikel starts for a moment, though soon enough he's relaxed as lighting plays across him. "Ah... this trick." He blinks again, attention focusing on Emili. "Alright then.." [Emili] Now, once you've got the power manifested, you need to shape it into a vision of yourself. It's... how can I explain? pretend you are god for a moment? * Mikel raises an eyebrow. "And most people say women don't care for huge egos... alright, though." >> Emili concentrates again, planting her staff in the sand with a ripple of force. The energy about her begins to draw to that point, formless and chaotic. It slowly coleslesces into a visible shape, vaguely humanoid and crouching. After a moment it arises with a roar... [b]Zeus Warrior![/b] << er Zeus Warrior >> Mikel instantly notices it looks a lot like himself, just really crackling and pissed off. ^^ [Emili] Hoo, I did a good job.. almost a perfect likeness! * Mikel blinks a couple of times. "...Impressive." He peers for a moment. "...Don't think I've ever been that angry." [Emili] Of course this isn't your soul, it's just me being a flawed mirror to give an example of what's possible. Emili leans over and hugs the Thunder Mikel doll and laughs. [Emili] Definitely not as nice to squeeze. :( * Mikel goes red again, noticable even behind the electricty that's crackling around him. "Ehe. Drawback to elemental beings, I guess." [Emili] Hopefully you get the idea? Visualization is key. And whatever you do... Emili frowns. "Don't try this more than once at the same time. That.. could get a little messy." * Mikel raises an eyebrow. "Oh?" Emili pokes the Thunder golem and it vanishes. "Ask John about that. I bet he'll get really embarassed." * Mikel frowns, mulling over that. "Troublesome... hrm." Her little show off session concluded, she walks over behind Mikel and hugs him again. "Mmm, much better." * Mikel goes a bit red, turning a bit to return the hug as best he can. "Nothing like the real thing in the end, I guess?" [Emili] Nope. No substitute! Remember always who you are if something bad happens. [Emili] And.. well... Emili smiles and leans into him in the shaded moonlight. "Don't forget who I am either." * Mikel can't help but smile as he holds her. "Don't think I could, really. You're definitely a part of this world from where I'm standing at least. Thanks, though..." [Emili] Hey, Mikel? Yeah? * Mikel looks around for a moment, though soon enough he's looking at Emili. "...so that's what it's like. Huh. Well... as a friend, definitely." He tilts his head. "Why do you ask?" [Emili] Oh... But she was spying on us at the inn... * Mikel blinks before nodding. "...yeah, I saw that coming pretty much a mile away. I think that was just for the fun of it though... pretty sure I owe her or Trune a bit of silver now." Emili smiles knowingly. "If you say so," [Emili] I guess she won't mind too much if I do this then. * Mikel chuckles. "I'll know for sure tomorrow, but I'm pretty sure..." Then he blinks, looking at Emili again. "Do what?" Emili then plants a nice kiss right on Mikel's lips. It almost sends a tingle down his spine, as the thunder magic is still present between the two. * Mikel is, well, taken by surprise by that one. Though after a bit he manages to get over that and return the kiss. The thunder magic just adds to it, really. Some shorebirds caw in the distance and the waves break against the beach as the two share a little bit of pleasure amidst a gathering cloud that begins to obscure the beautiful twinkling lights above. Emili stoes the kiss after a bit, satisfied. "You ready to ride the storm tomorrow?" << stops >> * Mikel just blinks. "...I'm pretty sure I could fly, if I wanted to. How's that?" Emili smiles. "Good answer..." [Emili] Thanks... for letting me fly a little bit without worrying about where I was going. Emili rubs a hand through some of his hair amused. * Mikel returns the smile. "Anytime, Emili." He returns the gesture, smile turning into a grin. "Anywhere, too, really." Emili sighs a bit, just kind of stroking his hair/face another minute. The wind picks up again, and the waves get a bit louder. * Mikel raises an eyebrow. "Maybe..?" [Emili] ...mm, awfully chilly suddenly. Maybe we should.. go back. No sense getting you sick or tired for a big day? * Mikel mulls for a moment, a bit reluctant. "Suppose so... still pretty sure that isn't gonna happen, but you're in charge, hm?" Emili looks torn a moment then laughs a bit nervously. [Emili] I'm in charge you say...? Okay then... Before Mikel can craft a retort, he's suddenly been shoved to the sandy ground with an unopposable force. It's no mystery what happened... there's now a rather lovestuck dragon girl on top of him. >.> Emili looks in tears too. 'I'm so lonely, Mikel..." [Emili] You made me forget for a minute! [Emili] My whole life I was abandoned and alone... I barely had a mom and a dad... * Mikel finds himself suddenly horizontal in the sand, looking up at Emili as he tries to figure out what happened. That gets shuffled off to the side as he looks at her again, reaching up to brush away a tear or two. "..no more of that, then. Just because you're the Star Dragon and all that doesn't mean you have to be alone in the world. This is supposed to be a utopia, after all." [Emili] This world was partially my wish. but I didn't get what I really wanted. I wanted a place to belong, but also.. someone. [Emili] Even if it was my demon lover long ago... but even he is long dead... :( Emili sniffles and cries out her woes into the sand. [Emili] I'm.. I'm sorry Mikel. I've just been holding it in so long. [Emili] A lot longer than my last ice cream sundae... * Mikel shakes his head, wrapping his arms around Emili again. "In that case... you deserve to get what you want, then." Another shake of his head. "Don't worry about it. You can't keep all that bottled up, Emili." He looks at her again, attempting to wipe her face clean of the tears. "Everyone's got their wishes and dreams, and well... this is our chance to grasp 'em, whatever they may be and wherever they take us." Emili gives a weary smile as her tears vanish under his touch, and she slides her arms around him lovingly. "Even if I can't have that dream, give me at least a memory... of tonight. Star Dragons exist.. so memories are eternal, like the stars." [Emili] That's what I think.. my new duty is... Even if she is an extraordinary person, Emili's warmth against his is seemingly no different than any other woman. * Mikel offers another smile. "Well... perhaps a memory can turn into a dream.." He reaches up to run a hand through her hair. "If I can, I'll make your dream come true Emili." He leans his head up to give her another kiss, this one quick. "They ought to come true, after all." Emili kisses back, pecking his face a few times and pressing close. "If that's the case... then I'll be dreaming all night..." And so, in each others arms, they find a calm in what soon shall be the eye of the storm... == interlude End == Session Close: Sun Aug 12 06:15:27 2007
