New page

* Hayley hugs you tightly once we've left the men behind.
* Irene hugs you back
* Hayley looks a bit the worse for wear but smiles for you.
<Hayley> I've missed you so much, dear Irene.
<Irene> I've missed you too!
* Hayley rests her head on your shoulder. You're taller than she is, after all.
* Irene is weairing a white and yellow organza dress in a classical roman style
* Irene can't resist and will wrap your hug up with her wings (I hope that makes sense to you ;)
* Hayley is wearing a dark grey velvet gown, and has a black mourning-band tied round her upper arm.
* Hayley lets you enclose her in such an interesting embrace.
<Hayley> You're more beautiful every time I see you. Look at your *wings*...
<Hayley> Like emeralds, like Eire.
* Irene blushes, bringing a slight green tinge to her pale eatures
<Irene> That's what Anastasius ays
* Hayley smiles.
<Hayley> He does, does he?
<Hayley> Well, good. He should.
<Irene> I hope he can help you. I'm sure he can.
* Hayley smiles wanly.
* Irene smiles encouragingly
<Hayley> We were just starting to get to know one another, and now... she's gone.
* Hayley 's eyes mist up a bit.
<Irene> I can't imagine that there could be a more clever combination than our two men
<Irene> they'll find a way to make things right, if it can be done.
* Hayley nods and bites her lip, trying to draw strength from those words.
* Hayley rubs her eyes.
<Hayley> But we promised we'd talk about cheerful things...
* Hayley smiles.
<Irene> Oh, yes, of course...
<Hayley> It really is different here... it's beautiful. Invigorating. It's closer to how I remember it being...
<Irene> I'm glad. it is, it is *empowering* to be here, and to know that I'm a part of this, a part ofnthis power....
<Irene> It's exciting in a way I just can't expres
* Irene 's eyes shine with life
<Hayley> Whatever you two are doing is pretty amazing... but I hope you...
<Hayley> I hope there's not another edge to it, I guess.
<Hayley> I always look a gift horse in the mouth these days...
* Hayley smiles apologetically.
<Irene> Stasi says that the land calls for blood as the price of its magic, and that is why the warring must continue
<Hayley> ...
<Hayley> Who are you fighting against? You haven't defeated them all yet?
<Hayley> Or are they all just fighting amongst themselves, like the Celts did long ago.
<Irene> It all the same, isn't it?
<Hayley> Well, I suppose...
*** Janus has joined #changeling
*** ChanServ sets mode: +o Janus
<Hayley> I guess I find it easy to forgive the Celts because they weren't carrying out mass slaughters, for the most part - just raids for
cattle and wives. And they supposedly treated their prisoners with honour, and had a high regard for life.
<Hayley> Is it like that here, now?
<Hayley> Or is life cheap?
<Irene> I don't know the detals.
<Irene> I think... I thikn oeople fight with more conviction here, on all sides.
<Irene> it's mostly the prodigals
<Irene> They see what we have made here, and they want to take it for themselves.
*** Janus has quit IRC (Quit: Adios, chochachos.~�)
* Logging #changeling to 'logs\#changeling.log'
* Hayley nods.
<Hayley> I guess I don't blame them.
<Hayley> So what's here besides unicorns?
<Hayley> I don't imagine they'd let either of us get too close to them. ;)
<Irene> You can get close.... but not *too* close,. Close enough to see them.
<Irene> Stasi has had to enforce hunting rights based on rank, thoiugh, to protect them, and the other creatures :)
<Hayley> Oh - very feudal. ;)
<Irene> a lot of things are like that here, but it works.
<Irene> There are other creatures around too, if we want to go and look
<Irene> I know how far we can go safely
<Hayley> I'd like to go...
<Irene> well, tlets, then
<Irene> you know the boys will be busy for a while
* Irene says confidently\
<Hayley> All right.
* Hayley seems a bit cautious - not like the brazen girl you once knew!
* Irene seems to have grown intoherself a bit more since you last met in person.
* Hayley smiles and slips her hand into yours.
<Irene> I thik the unicorns know that it is safer here to, and they stay.
<Irene> sometimes theyh look at you, and their eyes are so wise...
<Irene> It's hard to believe there can be anything bad in the world at all, when they look at you like that.
* Irene babbles as she leads you out of the cave
<Hayley> So they don't make you feel like a naughty girl?
<Irene> no.
<Hayley> I kind of thought they would, them with their infatuation with virgins.
<Irene> not like that at all.
<Irene> It is a bit like they mourning the loss of innocence in the world, sometimes.
<Irene> :/
<Irene> I don't even know if the thing about virgins is true, do you?
<Hayley> Oh, well...
<Hayley> It used to be a test.
<Irene> lots of things were tests that werestupid, though, or just wrong.
<Hayley> So nobles could be sure another man hadn't had their prospective bride before them...
<Hayley> True, true.
<Irene> like thining that a witch would float in water
<Irene> anyway, it is very unlikely that a noble man could have even ever caught a unicorn to test his bride with, anyway
<Hayley> Oh no, that wasn't how it was done.
<Irene> itf *that* were true, so he would juist have to take her word for what hapened :p
<Irene> no?
<Hayley> She'd sit out in the middle of a lovely forest glen, and sing, with a golden bridle in her lap.
<Hayley> And if she were virginal, a unicorn would come, couldn't help itself. Then she stroke its ears and lull it into a sense of security, slap the bridle on and lead it home.
<Hayley> Thus proving that she was 'pure'.
<Hayley> Then, if the unicorn was lucky, it would be set free again.
<Hayley> If she didn't come home with a unicorn, the marriage could be cancelled.
<Irene> oh, maybe...
<Irene> Still... they are very beautiful
<Irene> I wouldn't want to catch one.
<Hayley> I imagine a number of innocent girls lost out on the marriage thing if a unicorn didn't happen to be within earshot at the time of her testing.
<Hayley> Me neither...
<Irene> but just to watch them... :)
* Hayley nods.
<Irene> I'll show you a good place, there is a nice rock, and a tree, and it looks down into a little glen
<Hayley> Janus knows *I* was a virgin, anyway. I bled enough. It was kind of funny, actually. He was so utterly panicked, thought he'd killed me.
<Hayley> Listen to me, babbling on.
<Irene> Stasi knew I was too, but I don't thik he was afraid of it at all...
<Irene> well, anyway.
<Irene> hayley, I want to have a baby.
<Hayley> You do?
<Irene> I want one terribly!
<Hayley> Well, I can't help you with that, darling - I lack the equipment, though heaven knows I'd be more than happy to oblige if I could.
<Irene> a little life, a *real* life, that we made together....
* Hayley smiles and takes your arm.
<Irene> me and Staasi, I mean.
* Hayley laughs.
<Hayley> I know who you meant.
* Irene blushes, but leans her head against yours a little
<Hayley> Have you discussed it with him?
<Irene> No...
<Irene> :(
<Hayley> Well, perhaps you should.
<Irene> I don't think it would suit his plans
<Hayley> Well, arrange for there to be an accident, then.
<Irene> he's always very careful, with timing, and other...things...
<Irene> he keeps track of my cycle better than I ever have, and I know that if he wanted, we could, but I'm sure he does't, not now :(
* Hayley looks at you oddly.
<Irene> I don't want to make him angry with me.
<Hayley> That's a little creepy, you know.
<Irene> why?
<Hayley> Well, it's very sensible, I'm sure.
<Irene> no, why is it creepy?
<Hayley> But Janus hasn't ever got a clue when Aunt Flo is about to visit me.
<Hayley> So I guess it's a little strange to me that Ana keeps such close track.
<Irene> oh.
<Hayley> Then again...
<Hayley> I guess Janus doesn't really need to worry about it, with me, anyway.
<Irene> oh :/
<Hayley> He could fuck me 24/7, 31 days a month and nothing would come of it.
<Hayley> Except well, us. ^-^
<Irene> :o
<Irene> he couldn't *really* though...
<Hayley> No, not really.
<Hayley> but he certainly *tries*...
* Hayley looks smug.
* Irene smiles that shy smile of his
<Irene> I'vm very glad for you.
<Irene> you deserve a good man like that :)
<Irene> (heres o-O)
* Hayley turns to you.
<Hayley> So do you...
* Irene bites her lip.
<Hayley> You should ask him, darling.
<Hayley> It couldn't hurt to ask.
<Irene> it could if he says no :(
<Hayley> Well, at least you wouldn't torture yourself wondering about it afterwards.
<Irene> that would hurt :(
<Irene> I don't wonder, I know he doesn't. but *I* do...
<Irene> he is probably right, though
<Irene> maybe it is a bad time...
<Hayley> Oh, just a 'bad time' now, is it?
<Irene> but just, maybe it would be the thing, the thing that makes me less... oh, I don't even know.
<Irene> We're supposed to be concentrating on happy things.
<Hayley> If it's just a bad time, that leaves the future open to having babies.
* Hayley squeezes your hand encouragingly.
<Irene> I know...
<Irene> it's so hard to wait
<Irene> the future isvery... big?
<Irene> I don't know when it will be a good time.
<Hayley> Yeah, I know.
<Hayley> Uncertainty is hard.
<Hayley> As for me, if *I* wanted a baby, I'd just march up to Janus and say "I want a baby, with you, and I want one about nine months from today! So fix me already and let's get going!"
<Hayley> And he'd probably oblige.
<Hayley> But i wouldn't do that right now, because it's a bad time for us, too.
<Irene> :/
<Irene> you're so much wiser then me.
<Hayley> You're the only one that thinks so.
<Hayley> ;)
<Irene> maybe.
<Irene> oh look!
* Irene points down to the glen
* Hayley follows the direction your finger is pointing in.
<Hayley> (with her gaze)
<Irene> 9ET VOILA! uNICORNS! A PARI OF THEM, NUZZLING EACH OTHER IN A TREE. THEY AREBEAUTIFUL, AND ALMOST SEEM TO GLOW)
<Irene> (bleah)
<Irene> (Let me try that again)
<Irene> (a pair of unicorns, nuzzling each other under a tree. they are radiant, almost glowing white: creatures of true beauty and glamous)
* Hayley settles down on the ground and hugs her knees to her chest.
<Hayley> They *are* so beautiful...
* Hayley 's eyes mist up again.
<Irene> can't you just believe that everything will be alright?
* Hayley smiles bittersweetly.
<Hayley> Sure.
<Hayley> . o O (They remind me of Rachel...)
<Irene> :(\
* Hayley rubs her eyes.
<Hayley> Where is she now, my little girl?
* Hayley 's voice is high pitched and broken.
<Irene> I'm sure they'll find her :(
* Hayley is shaking with grief.
* Irene will gove you a big hug
<Irene> Oh, hayley, I'm so sorry :(
* Hayley clings to you like someone who is drowning.
<Hayley> They *rewove* her...
* Irene hugs you tightly.
<Hayley> She's gone, as if she never existed.
<Irene> its so horrible....
<Irene> does that mean she is completely changed?
<Hayley> I don't know, I don't know what it means...
<Irene> then there is still hope, isn't there?
<Hayley> I don't know, Janus... seems pretty hopeless... Do you know our boys still think she's dead? They don't know the truth... And he doesn't want them to know.
<Hayley> Maybe because he doesn't think we'll ever find her, that she is as good as dead.
<Irene> Maybe.
<Hayley> I'm not supposed to be telling you this, but the only person I have is Janus, and I have to be strong for him.
<Hayley> But who can be strong for me?
<Irene> Maybe wants whoever did it to have any chance of finding out what all he knows.
<Irene> I'll be as strong as I can.
* Irene gives you another hug
* Hayley nods and sobs herself out on your shoulder.
* Irene will pet your hair comfortingly and let you cry, wrapping you up in her wings for extra privacy
