Hello! :)
Alexandrea
*sets up a table with loads of yummy treats, some made with real human blood (from willing donors)*
Ripper
"Yes, a preemptive attack. It wasn't presumption...the last time I encountered those two diplomacy and tact did not serve me to any advantage."
Myk
He frowns. "So, you attacked them on sight?"
Ripper
"Absolutely. Although...I will confess to you: my actions were driven from a fear."
Myk
He sighs, looking him over for a place that isn't bloody to pat a hand lightly against. "Oh, Mr Ripper. But surely you can see that attacking them this time has resulted in that thing you were surely trying to avoid?"
Ripper
"Yes, no, maybe. Who is to say that they would not have attacked first if they had spotted me before the other way vice versa? Then I would already be a further disadvantage. so better to suspect enmity and be wrong."
Ripper
"....than to presume peace and be dead?" *He finishes that thought up befuddledly*
Myk
"Hmm." He rubs his chin. "Well, I suppose you'd rather be certain to be dead?"
Ripper
"Have they been 'behaving themselves' while I was away?"
Myk
He snorts. "Oh yes. Though I hardly know how we get along without you, dear."
Ripper
jumps at the sight of Rutherford and instinctively pushes out his palm to dispel the wraith.
Ripper
"Oops. that's not going to endear me to the grumpy ******** any further."
Myk
"You see. That's why he doesn't like you."
Ripper
"JIttery, don't you know? Warnings should be made before popping out places suddenly."
Myk
"It's Rutherford. He doesn't just... you know. Behave like that. Be nice. To people. Especially you."
Myk
"Oh, well. He came back quickly." Glances over his shoulder to the Wraith who is keeping his distance. "I guess he must want something."
Ripper
"Probably he's hoping to sit around and wait for me to bite the proverbial shadows."
Myk
Cackles. "You're probably right about that."
Myk
"I'd like to advise you both to get along for the sake of my sanity, but neither one of you are happy to take any of my advice."
Ripper
"I'm all about getting along and letting the others do likewise--in theory."
Myk
"Right, it's the practical point that you fall on," he groans, folding his arms across his chest.
Ripper
/:-) "Are you here to lecture me or...!?" *he falls short. Crossing his arms over his torso in an unconscious pantomime of the Telepath, he leans back heavily against the stone ritual altar*
Ripper
"Although I do suppose it would be well within your rights to deliver one...seeing as how I did ask you here urgently after all."
Myk
Arches a brow. "Damn right, honey. The only time you speak to me is when you need something. And, I might point out, that I rarely fail to deliver."
Ripper
"That's why you're my friend and...is that the ONLY time ever?"
Ripper
"Seems like as if most of my relationships are built up off of that trait."
Myk
He stands there and nods.
Ripper
breaks off from the conversation intermittently to receive the benefit of Noelle's ministrations.
Ripper
were able to heal up one of his wounds enough so that it is no longer critical.
Myk
He turns to notice the blonde and smiles warmly. "Noelle!"
Noelle
looked Ripper up and down, shaking her head some. She used her powers to do as much as she could, but wasn't satisfied with all the wounds that were still visible. "Hello, Myk. It's been some time."
Ripper
"Case in point." *as an aside* "Elle, darling! It's more than wonderful to see you again."
Noelle
pushed a gentle kiss to Ripper's jaw. "Good to see you too, love. I took a very long nap."
Ripper
"You and me both. Which year is it now, Myks?"
Myk
"It has. You've both been away too long, darling," he says, addressing the blonde. "It's 2020."
Noelle
blinked a few times "2020? How...how long were we asleep for? Jesus. What all have we missed?"
Ripper
"About...a year-it seems. I'd honestly would have thought to guessed longer."
Ripper
"Probably not much more happened than why we decided to bed down in the first place. Even above or below time still seems to crawl on at a pace not suitable for those outside of it...""
Myk
"Well, I'm not really the right person to get an update from," he said with a smirk. "I barely remember where I am."
Ripper
"No doubt in the blissful arms of some or other beautiful thingummy, I'm sure."
Noelle
"Very true. I doubt anything all that important. But now that we're awake....I see that you..." She looks pointedly at Ripper. "have already gotten yourself up to something."
Ripper
"It just...happned" he explained. "Organically."
Myk
"He's an arse."
Ripper
Heh-hee.Noelle
"Organically. You were just going along on your merry old way and they just happened to target you. Granted....I'd love to see what they look like now."
Myk
"They don't look as bad as he does."
Ripper
No, no although I was tit for tat awhile there.
Myk
"Next time, have a strategy or something."
Noelle
closed her eyes a moment, shaking her head before looking back up at them. "Well, I'm awake now. So they can deal with me as well."
Ripper
"Been rusty from out of practice or something. I always have strategies prepared! They never work--but I've always got one."
Myk
"And to think, you were the one to teach me chess!" he laughs.
Ripper
"No, Elle; stay out of it. I need you in a supporting role as usual."
Noelle
pursed her lips at that. "Of course."
Ripper
"ONe of these nights everything is going to go exactly like it was planned to beforehand and that will be really cool when once it actually occurs."
Myk
"Of course," he says, still smirking.
Ripper
knows he's blowing hot air.
Noelle
smiled over towards Myk. She had missed him.
Noelle
"We need to get you back into fighting shape. Once you're all healed up, shall we spar?" Her glance had turned back to the bloodied Ripper.
Ripper
"Maybe. It'll take me some little while to get in a feel for the new lay of land and how things stand politically with all that."
Ripper
"Myk says the only time that I ever talk to them is when I need something. Do you also feel that to be the same way with you too?"
Noelle
"Do you want the honest answer or the answer that'll make you feel better?"
Myk
"See."
Ripper
"Hmph."
Myk
"It's fine, I guess," he offers with a shrug. "I have my fill of people nosing into my business."
Noelle
ran gentle fingers through Ripper's blood matted hair. "I don't think it's intentional. And I love you, so I'll always be here for you. Plus, you usually come when I need you for something too."
Ripper
"Well people never ask me for when they need something- so I have to initiate!" *his heart is not in it this protracted defense because of this suspicion of how it might all be true.*
Ripper
"Of course I would." he nods.
Myk
A smile creeps onto his face as he observes Noelle and Ripper's interactions. "Well, I am glad that you two are back. Regardless."
Ripper
"And even if it were true...then at the very least it completely ensures a long and lasting relationship....because I'll always be needing something from someone eventually."
Noelle
smirks a little "Well, your need for me has definitely ensured a pretty long lasting relationship so far. Or maybe it's my need for you. Both? Either way! I've always got a little somethin for you any time you need it."
Ripper
"Like some sugar? You won't always find me so nearly affectionate than when I'm nearly on death's front gate."
Ripper
>.<
Myk
"It must be the brain damage" he smirks.
Ripper
"It's good to be missed then, I suppose."
Myk
"Well. I'll leave you two be. Three's a crowd and all that..."
Noelle
"Absolutely. And trust me, I have learned this over the past many years." She pressed a kiss to his lips* "Maybe I should regularly start putting a bullet to your head."
Ripper
"Must you? I'll likely be settling down to trance in a bit so at least you two can---oh yes, I took you out of that raid-didn't I?"
Ripper
"Well thanks to you again, my friend. This year I promise that we'll do something between ourselves that's completely frivolous."
Noelle
"Nuh, stay, Myk! I interrupt your conversation earlier. I just wanted to get him fixed up a bit. Unless you of course have matters you need attend to"
Noelle
I didn't mean to interrupt***
Myk
"You're never interrupting, darling!"
Ripper
*agrees*
Noelle
blushed and smiled some
Noelle
"I've truly missed you, Myk."
Ripper
begins to look drowsy perhaps from lack of blood flow. He yawns
Myk
He smiles and bows his head to her. "And I've missed you. We'll catch up of course. When we're not babysitting an idiot."
Ripper
...Zzzzzz
Noelle
laughed and pecked a kiss to Myk's cheek "Soon!" She then glanced to Ripper who was looking sleepy. "Ready to trance out? I"ll watch over you."
Noelle
"I'll take that as a yes."
