She couldn't remember the last time she had this much fun during a sparring match. True to her word she wasn't holding back one bit but after a while Carly was starting to get tired. If something didn't change soon she didn't know if she could keep this up.
In one last desperate attempt, Carly once again attacked Jay. When his blade flew backwards, Carly stopped her motion immediately and stared at him, unable to believe she had actually won. After a few moments Carly smiled and sheethed her sword, relaxing and leaning against a nearby tree. At Jay's words, Carly laughed softly and shook her head,"I've had more practice hun', don't worry about it. You're good yourself, I almost didn't think that I would be able to beat ya,"she replied back easily in a light voice,"Hey you did manage to disarm me, that's not that easy,"she continued before taking a deep breath and exhaling.
"That was fun though, I haven't had a good sparring match like that in ages. You're good Jay, really...keep that up and you may just be able to beat me next time. I could give ya my cell number or something if you'd like,"Carly suggested, still making no effort to move from her place against the tree.[/scrolly] |

OK so for the next two weeks work is gonna be chaos and since my posting time is already limited I may be even more inactive for the next two weeks. If last night was any indication of what the fair was gonna be like I'm not sure I'll be able to post after work even. My muse crashed after working late last night and I was just like *flop* sooo yeah x''3. Hopefully that won't be the case but I'm not entirely sure, just bare with me and maybe (hopefully) I can get through this without going completely insane.

He had been about to ask how Elayne was doing when Felis spoke up first, asking where everybody else had gone. "Your father went back to the castle for the time being and Justice and Jayme just went for a walk. Jayme was...upset after seeing Elayne... Is she all right?"Miguel replied quietly, concern evident in his features.
---
Elayne should probably have expected the question at some point...should've prepared for it... All the same to have it asked of her was painful and only served to remind her of all that had happened...how she couldn't remember the faces of the people she cared about... Closing her eyes, Elayne took as deep a breath as she could manage without her chest hurting and nodded. "...yes..."Elayne began quietly as she opened her eyes again, wishing for all the world that she could regain what she had lost..."Everything...the day we met...finding out Cora was my sister... I remember everything...I just-...I can't recall...people...faces..."she continued, her voice shaking slightly from the emotion behind it. She wished that she could remember...now though it seemed like everytime she opened her eyes she was surrounded by strangers... There was nothing Elayne could do about it however and that made it all the more difficult to deal with.[/scrolly] |

Doctors and nurses came in every now and then but as long as she didn't get it their way they seemed fine with her remaining there which suited Vicki just fine; she wasn't about to leave Jack's side anytime soon... Just waiting for something to change was excruciating...Vicki kept hoping to see at least some change for the better but Jack still slept on. That was good she supposed...at least he wasn't in any pain...the doctors kept reassuring her that he would be fine and that he would wake up eventually but Vicki was beginning to wonder if that would ever happen...
Despite her best attempts to stay awake, exhaustion had finally won out and Vicki eventually ended up falling asleep slumped over the side of the bed, still holding onto Jack's hand albeit loosely. Someone had come in and draped a blanket over her shoulders but other than that Vicki had remained largely undisturbed. Even when Jack finally woke up Vicki remained very much dead to the world. Had she known that he would wake up moments after she finally gave into her emotional and physical exhaustion Vicki would have forced herself to at least stay up that much longer. As it was Vicki had pretty much stayed awake the entire night just in case Jack should wake and simply just couldn't keep her eyes open any longer as much as she had tried to do just that.[/scrolly] |

The order to be quiet was easily accomplished anyway...at least it would be better than sitting in the waiting room for hours on end. Slowly standing up, Vicki followed the nurse through the double doors and down the hallway, almost dreading what she would find when they would come to Jack. When they did finally reach his room all Vicki could do was stare at his pale, sleeping form, hardly aware that the nurse was saying anything to her. Vicki's vision blurred as tears threatened to spill over her cheeks but these were quickly blinked away before the nurses words registered. Nodding in recognition of the nurse's words, Vicki wasted no time before walking into Jack's room and next to his bed.
Looking into Jack's sleeping face, it was almost hard to believe that he had been shot at all if it weren't for his pale features. Taking Jack's hand in her own, Vicki pulled a nearby chair up to the side of the bed. So what if she technically wasn't supposed to be here...Vicki wasn't about to leave his side for one moment. Her vision blurred once again as tears threatened to come but Vicki simply blinked them away just as before. If only she had been able to get there faster...if Jack had let her come in the first place maybe...just maybe this wouldn't have happened... "Jack...."Vicki whispered, her voice shaky with the emotion behind it. Maybe he would be able to hear her and wake up...it was a fool's hope but it was at least something to hold on to.
Reaching out with her other hand, Vicki brushed a strand of hair behind Jack's ear, letting her touch linger a little longer than was absolutely necessary. It hurt...seeing him like this especially so soon after the Ripper incident... She had almost lost him then but at least Vicki had been there to stop him...now...she couldn't do anything...and she hated feeling so helpless. All she could do now was wait for Jack to wake up again...in some ways it was worse than just waiting in the other room but...at least she would be able to know right away instead of waiting hours for little to no information.[/scrolly] |

Waiting was almost as painful as the anxiety and worry that had wrapped its icy tendrils around her heart. Pulling her legs up onto her chair, Vicki wrapped her arms around her legs and set her head on her knees in an attempt to block anything and everything out. Hours passed in this manner before another nurse approached Vicki and spoke. Even at the question of her name it was some time before she even managed to look at the nurse and give any indication that she was in fact who the nurse was looking for.
Upon hearing that Jack had stablized, Vicki breathed out quietly, relieved that he would be all right...as if there had been any doubt to begin with... Hearing the question asked of her, Vicki stared blankly at the nurse before closing her eyes and sighing."......that's all I know as well....."Vicki replied quietly in a near monotone voice after a few moments,"...I was following him when I heard gunshots and saw him fall. Whoever shot him is probably in jail now...hopefully......"she continued quietly, wishing she knew who Jack had gone to see in the first place. Perhaps if Jack had explained a little more she would have been able to help...what if...what if she could've stopped it... Kept Jack from being hurt at all... Opening her eyes again, Vicki looked up at the nurse,"Can I...see him...?"she asked quietly. Anything would be better than sitting out here waiting for news regarding how he was doing...[/scrolly] |

The clothes Vicki was given were simple enough albeit not what she was used to wearing considering they were several sizes too big...still, it was better than the blood drenched clothes she had been wearing before. She had managed to get most of the blood off her face, arms, and hair but Vicki didn't really put her appearance high on the list of priorities at the moment.
After she had changed and placed her old clothes in a small bag she had been given, Vicki was ushered into the waiting room where she would remain for the next few hours. Waiting was excruciating and Vicki found herself more often than not just staring at the ground, hoping for at least some news as to what was going on. She couldn't think; didn't want to believe that Jack might not be able to make it...there had been so much blood though and Vicki still couldn't shake the image of him just lying there...motionless... How she managed to remain calm despite it all Vicki wasn't quite certain herself...she just felt...numb...
When the nurse finally did come and talk to her about how Jack was doing Vicki looked at her with a rather blank expression on her face. The news wasn't what she'd been hoping to hear but it was at least good to know Jack was still alive...even so it was difficult for Vicki to think of something to say to the nurse's words, however reassuring she may have intended them to be. "Thank you for...letting me know..."Vicki replied quietly after a moment. Well, at the very least it was good to know that Jack would be all right...he would pull through...he had to...[/scrolly] |

Right...probably best not to...wait...where had Vengeance gone...? Looking to Lucifer, Cedric asked the question on his mind and was simply told that they had teleported to a hospital. Nodding, Cedric walked out of the house without a word. Play time was over anyway and the girl could call the authorities or...something...
Lucifer sighed when the girl screamed at the sight of him and decided it was best to get out of there. He at least knew the way back to the house and Vicki had to eventually go back there...at the very least it was their best bet for the time being. Picking Cedric up, Lucifer took off for the house they had left just mere moments ago, thinking that the girl should be able to handle herself with the man unconscious now.
Vicki didn't realize they had made it to the hospital until she felt Jack being pulled away from her and rushed to who knew where. All Vicki could think about was the blood...Jack's blood...that she was covered in. Somehow she at least managed to return the Abra before the nurses pulled her from the blood drenched floor to get checked out and Vicki allowed them to take her away from the blood drenched floor. For all she was and how panicked she had been...now that Jack had been taken away Vicki just felt numb... The mere thought of losing Jack was just...painful...she simply didn't know what else to do other than retreat back to her years of training... At least this way the pain wasn't as great...[/scrolly] |

The Gible had never thought of it that way...that just had to be it! Why else would the Ariados keep running away but...whenever he tried to get close the Ariados just kept running away... <Well...I could try that but whenever I get close to her she just runs away...did I do something wrong...?">
The Ariados just continued to watch the group talk, hoping that they wouldn't approach her. It didn't help that her leucistic appearance made her stand out like a sore thumb either...well, she had dealt with others before and she could certainly deal with these three! At least...that's what she hoped...

Still, she wasn't going to give up and though it wasn't her intention to harm Jay she wasn't going to give him any quarter either. Leaning against the blade, Carly tried to force the blade forward to remove the deadlock they were now in. However it seemed Jay had other plans when he thrust the blade away effectively wrenching it out of her hand in the process and making her step back as a result. Jumping back a ways, Carly ignored her blade lying on the ground now and readjusted her grip so that she was now holding her single blade with both hands. "You're good..."Carly commented, not even breathing heavily despite the adrenaline coursing through her veins. She Jay little time to think however before she spun and aimed to hit his shoulder again. So what if she was fighting with a single blade now, Carly was just as good with one blade as she was with two.[/scrolly] |

(sorry I took so long muse has been selective and flagging a lot lately =/)
The Natu chirped happily when Mina helped her to her feet again and hopped up and down excitedly when Alaina asked....right before falling over again and giggling like mad at her clumsiness. Of course she wanted to come but at the moment the Natu was too busy giggling to give a straight answer. The Petilil smirked at the Natu's antics and nodded in an affirmative yes in case there had been any question as to whether or not the Natu wanted to come.
The Espeon couldn't bring himself to look at Xue even when she spoke and simply studied a pebble on the ground. How could she possibly underst-....that was when she kissed him and the Espeon felt himself turn so red he would've surely put a tomato to shame. It was some time before he was able to speak, much less look at Xue again but he at least managed a nod. If...if she really did mean it then...he wouldn't mind coming...

He could go back and see how Elayne was doing but for now he would wait until someone else returned. There was no need to overwhelm her with so many visitors in such a short period of time...perhaps he should have gone back to the castle after all...
Elayne smiled slightly when she felt Cora squeeze her hand and looked over at Haii when she heard him sigh. Her confusion was evident when Haii backtracked and dismissed whatever he was about to say. Blinking, Elayne shook her head slightly, "No...Haii...what did you...want to say..."she asked quietly, truly wanting to hear what he thought.[/scrolly] |

Vengeance had told him to have fun and oh yes he would definitely do that~. It was only after the Bisharp had slashed at the man with metal claw that he realized there was another person in the room. Using Fury Cutter on the man who was becoming his play thing one more time, Cedric dashed over to Jessica and slashed her bonds before using dashing back over to where the man was and aiming a Guillotine at him. Oh yes this was certainly fun~
When Jack didn't answer her Victoria just clung to him closer. This couldn't be happening...she couldn't lose him...not now...but there was so much blood... Fumbling with the pokeballs at her belt, Vicki finally found the one she was looking for and released an Abra. Thankfully she had at least one psychic that could teleport... "Hospital, teleport, now..."came the command as the Abra materialized in front of her. Lucifer and Cedric could always find her later...if not...she'd handle that later. The Abra seemed a little shocked to be called out of his pokeball but did as he was commanded without further questioned and teleported the three of them to the hospital.
Lucifer watched as Vicki vanished with the Abra and flew over to where Cedric was still battling the man who had started all of this. The Hydreigon knew better than to get in Cedric's way but for now he would wait until the Bisharp finished 'playing'.[/scrolly] |

Thankfully Jack had seemed too preoccupied with whatever had happened to notice her on Lucifer however impossible that might have seemed. When Jack had reached the house, Victoria had no sooner directed to land when she heard gunshots and paled...that...oh God...Jack... All but jumping off of Lucifer just as he landed, Vicki approached the house just as Jack fell backwards, bleeding from the gunshot wounds he had sustained. Something in Victoria screamed right then as she looked up at the smirking man with an apparent calm air about her before she released Cedric. The only command given the Bisharp was 'have fun' before Cedric ran forward with a maniacal grin on his face, Metal Claw at the ready.
It was only when Vicki was certain that the man was thoroughly distracted that she ran to Jack's side and knelt beside him, panic already wrapping its icy tendrils around her heart. "Jack..."Vicki began quietly as she cradled his head on her lap,"Oh God...Jack please just....don't leave me..."she continued, unaware of the tears that were streaming down her cheeks. It was like Ripper all over again...and Vicki was terrified she was going to lose him.[/scrolly] |

Hearing Jayme speak again, Miguel looked up to see him walking away once again and sighed. Miguel remained silent as Jayme walked away...perhaps he just needed some time alone to be able to think. Miguel was about to suggest they sit down when Justice pulled away from him and walked over to Jayme. Watching her talk to Jayme, Miguel smiled...perhaps Justice would be able to help Jayme where he could not.

Elayne opened her eyes when she heard Haii speak again and looked over at him. She didn't blame him...didn't blame anyone for not being there when Simeon had first found her. The fact that they had gotten there was enough...why didn't they see that... "But you were there..."Elayne replied quietly, her voice little more than a whisper,"That's all that matters... You did save me...both of you..."she continued, not removing her gaze from Haii until Cora spoke. Shifting her gaze to Cora, as her sister spoke, a hint of a smile appeared on Elayne's features at the suggestion only to disappear just as quickly as her cheek complained and simply nodded. It would be fun to spend time with her sister...though it was hard to imagine even attempting such a thing right now.[/scrolly] |

His words almost echoed Miguel's own thoughts moments ago...he wished that there had been something that he could've done...it seemed they both did. "Jayme..."Miguel replied in a calm, quiet voice before sighing,"I do not know the answer to those questions either... This is the second time I have been thrust into a situation where I have felt like I could do nothing Jayme... It is not easy but you cannot waste time thinking about the what ifs. You will only end up hurting yourself in the long run,"he continued before sighing and closing his eyes briefly when Jayme shouted.
When it seemed that the young man had calmed down a little, Miguel breathed out quietly and was about to say something when Justice's quiet voice reached his ears. Turning his attention from Jayme to Justice, Miguel held Justice tighter and shook his head,"No Justice...you have nothing to be sorry for. This is not your fault..." he replied quietly, hoping that his words would help her understand."Even if we had been there...there would still be a chance that this could happen.... Don't blame yourself for something that might have been..."Miguel continued quietly before holding Justice a little closer.

Haiiro walking away from her didn't help Elayne in the slightest...in fact it only made her feel worse. He knew now...that she had forgotten him...she wouldn't be surprised if he was mad at her now... Tears once again spilled over her cheeks both because of the numbing pain that was beginning to return and the hurt of knowing that she couldn't recall the faces of those closest to her. Closing her eyes, Elayne did her best to shut out the pain until Felis spoke again, she opened her eyes and looked at him...or rather where she heard his voice coming from. Despite her ears telling her that the man beside her was Felis, her eyes still told a different story...one that said this man was a complete stranger... Elayne wanted to believe that what Felis was saying was true...her body would mend given time but would her memory...? If this was permanent... "Okay..."came the quiet reply as Elayne watched Felis stand and leave the room.
When Cora put her hand on the side of the bed, Elayne placed her own hand over it, grateful that at least someone was still beside her. Haiiro though...Elayne didn't know what to say to him...if he was angry she didn't blame him. He had every right to be...Elayne was frustrated herself with her own inability to recognize people. There was nothing she could do to change it however and that hurt all the more...Elayne hated feeling so helpless...so...broken...[/scrolly] |

Whatever had happened when he had visited Elayne hadn't been good...nevertheless Miguel would refrain from questioning until Jayme at least calmed down a little. After a moment or two Jayme finally spoke but the statement could have meant many thing though considering the breakdown occurred after seeing Elayne, Miguel assumed that it had something to do with the condition she was in. "Jayme..."Miguel began quietly before pulling away slightly so that he could look at him,"What happened back there that has you so upset...?"he continued calmly, looking Jayme in the eye as he spoke.
It wasn't until a few moments later that Miguel noticed that Justice was crying as well and released Jayme before wrapping his sister in an embrace. He didn't know for certain why she was crying but after the day Justice had had it came as no surprise to him. Miguel wished that they had arrived under better circumstances but what happened couldn't be changed...they would just have to learn from their mistakes and move on. The fact that this was the second time someone had been hurt presumably under his watch wasn't lost on Miguel and he was already kicking himself for not getting back sooner. This could have been prevented...just like the last time and yet Miguel had been helpless to do anything but pick up the pieces in the aftermath yet again.

Elayne shifted her gaze downwards when Haii snapped at her for asking the question and fell silent. She had asked because she didn't know...but...how could she explain something like that... Elayne didn't even know how to begin to say that she simply couldn't tell who it was. Fortunately Felis spoke up first much to Elayne's relief...though it was still hurt that she had forgotten to begin with. Upon hearing the woman's name, Elayne once again looked at Cora, trying to place the name with the face she saw. Maybe...hopefully she could remember for next time...
Cora's reply didn't help anything...how could she say that it was all right... No, nothing was all right...forgetting your friends and family was not all right! "It's not..."Elayne replied, her voice little more than a pained whisper, "D..don't tell me is... I know it's not..."she continued before falling silent once again, not looking at anybody in the room for the moment. This wasn't all right...nothing was...every breath was an all too painful reminder of what happened. Elayne hurt...both physically and emotionally...and there was nothing she could do but hope that time would heal the wounds.[/scrolly] |

Seeing the expression on the young man's face alarmed Miguel, even more so as the strangled sob of sorts escaped Jayme. When Jayme buried his face in his shirt Miguel slowly put his arms around the young man, not knowing what he could say at that point in time. When Justice came up to them and put her hand on Jayme, Miguel looked at her, wondering why she had said that she was sorry. None of this had happened because of her...so then why was Justice apologizing...

Seeing Haii's eyes soften, Elayne let her arm drop back onto the bed as he began to speak. His voice was enough assurance that this in fact was Haii which both calmed and hurt Elayne. How could she have forgotten his face...they'd been through so much together...it just wasn't fair... When Haii's words registered, Elayne closed her eyes and breathed out quietly. It was a nice feeling knowing that someone wanted to protect her... She couldn't quite explain it but hearing it from Haii, Jayme...and now Felis, had a calming effect on Elayne. Elayne had just opened her eyes again and was about to say something when she caught sight of another form entering the room and once again confusion flickered across her face. She could tell that this was someone else that she was supposed to remember judging by the look on the woman's face but couldn't place it.
Elayne was hoping that either Felis or Haii would say the girl's name just like Felis had done with Haii but none came and Elayne found herself growing more confused and anxious by the minute. When the girl finally did speak, Elayne recognized it as Cora's voice but still wasn't entirely sure. It was hard after relying on her eyes so much to trust what her other senses were telling her..."...who...are you...?"Elayne asked quietly, almost dreading the reaction she would get from the woman in the wheelchair. Elayne knew that she was supposed to be able to remember these people but she just simply...couldn't...and she hated it...[/scrolly] |
