[QUOTE="Calinon, post: 1512078, member: 13737"] [b][font=Times New Roman]China[/font][/b] [b][font=Times New Roman]Raisa[/font][/b] [font=Times New Roman][i]Know what I think?[/i] Dara says to you mentally. [i]I think someone's getting sweet on the big furry guy![/i] she teases.[/font] [font=Times New Roman]"We have tried, Raisa," Li says, looking down. "But now that he has become this creature, he cannot feed himself normally. I spent most of the first days he was here with him, even after he changed with the moon. I tried to teach him to hold utensils, so he could feed himself. I offered to feed him when he could not master that," her voice is very quiet when she says the last of that. Her hands too are trembling a bit. After taking a moment to compose herself, floding her hands inside her sleeves, she continues.[/font] [font=Times New Roman]"The circle has been painted on the floor for a reason. Even he knows it is necessary, both when he is Michael and when he is the Jackal. And I never treated him poorly."[/font] [font=Times New Roman]Michael's head whips around towards the door and he squints against the sunlight entering the dojo. When he recognizes his voice, he rises up. "I was wondering what was taking so long with," he starts, pausing when you roll the bucket in. "The bucket," he says, letting out a long sigh. "I don't think 'Thank You' would quite convey my feelings at being fed from that," he says dryly.[/font] [font=Times New Roman]He looks over past you and you groan inwardly as you see yourself from another position mentally, as Dara waves at Jackal.[/font] [font=Times New Roman]"Oh great, feeding time is going to be a spectator sport now?" he says with a growl. "I like seeing people, but not when I have to eat out of that thing," he says.[/font] [b][font=Times New Roman]X12[/font][/b] [font=Times New Roman]"We are exactly what they made us to be, at least on the outside," Xi responds. "Thirteen of us, male and female, virtually identical, couldn't be natural. Perhaps we are genetically engineered? Perhaps whoever made us didn't expect for us to posess free will?[/font] [font=Times New Roman]"But I have none of [i]his[/i] memories, at least none I've experienced. And I don't think I have any of yours. I am not sure that I want any more of mine. I only wish to live, and that is something I did not wish to do in my visions. [/font] [font=Times New Roman]"Master Wen has convinced me to try to help you trigger your own memories, if you wish. Many things have triggered visions in the past. I can lead you through the same events that triggered my memories, and see if they trigger yours. I am... not comfortable doing this. When I had my first vision, it was when a drunkard was threatening people with a sword. When my mind cleared, he was dead by my hands. I do not wish to have anything like that happen again because of me."[/font] [font=Times New Roman]"You show him power, Xi," Master Wen says.[/font] [font=Times New Roman]Xi sighs, but does as he is told. He picks up the simple glass cup before him. Without any outward sign of his powers, the cup turns to white powder and falls to the table. "I did that to the man with the sword," he says.[/font] [b][font=Times New Roman]New York - Methesda[/font][/b] [font=Times New Roman]"Does that mean no naked jaunts by all the security cameras?" she says with a devilish grin. "C'mon Sport. Get movin' Thumper," she says, pushing the two boys out the door.[/font] [font=Times New Roman]"Hey, where are they going?" Stephanie asks, unsure of what is happening.[/font] [font=Times New Roman]"So, what sort of diversion should we create, gents?" she says, slipping an arm into each of the boys arms once they are outside.[/font] [b][font=Times New Roman]Arizona - Lockheed[/font][/b] [b][/b][b][/b] [font=Times New Roman]"Looks pretty stable," Cosmo says. "Maybe if we just send goat boy down? He's been all up about the fact that if he presses himself, he can do that Carl vibrate through walls thing. Should be safe enough. Hey! Goat boy! Get over here!" he shouts. "He's so going to try to hit me for that," he grins at Loki, Johan and Anna.[/font] [/QUOTE]
