I go on TGS and I see a melting Lanyon.

Great.

I come on here and my OC and her boyfriend have an emotional break up.

((Mz.Hyde Continuation of the George/Gossip/Kitchen roleplay. You're up, Mz.!))

Mz. Hyde:

Glad to hear that!

* She puts the batter in the oven.*

Helen Jekyll:

Helen finished up preparing the tea and carried it to the table.

"If anyone would like a cup, the tea is ready," She said, setting down the pot. "The biscuits may be a bit."

Jekyll1886:

"Ah, thank you. I'd like one," put in Lewis as he placed the supplies back in their cupboards. "Just as soon as I'm done with this."

Passerby:

"I-If you don't mind, I would care for some as well," George added just after Weir, raising a hand with a timid smile.

Mz.Hyde Mod Jekyll1886 • 4 months ago

Alright! Here you go!

* Gives George some tea.*

Helen Jekyll Mz.Hyde • 4 months ago

"Would either of you care for cream or sugar?" asked Helen as she poured Weir a cup and set it before an empty seat before making up a cup for herself.

Jekyll1886 Helen Jekyll • 4 months ago

"Thank you," said Lewis.

He finished putting away the supplies and took his seat.

A Passerby Jekyll1886 • 4 months ago

George did what he could to stifle a flinch as Mz. Hyde set the tea before him, breaking into an uneasy smile.

"A-Ah, thank you," He said, picking up the cup.

Mz.Hyde Mod A Passerby • 4 months ago

You're welcome! How are the cookies coming along?

Helen Jekyll Mz.Hyde • 4 months ago

“I shall check,” Helen said, abandoning her cup of tea temporarily to peer into the oven.

“They look quite good, so far—shouldn’t be more than a handful of minutes longer.”

Jekyll1886 Helen Jekyll • 4 months ago

Not standing on ceremony, Lewis went ahead and took a sip of his tea, thinking it might put George more at ease.

"Excellent," Weir remarked regarding the biscuits.

A Passerby Jekyll1886 • 4 months ago

Hesitantly, George followed Weir's lead, raising the cup to his lips and taking a sip, though he didn't swallow yet.

Instead, he focused on the flavor of the drink, trying to discern if there was anything off about it.

It doesn't taste poisoned...

A beat, then he finally allowed the tea to slip down his throat with more than a little anxiety.

((MillieGriffin Your turn. ^_^))

MillieGriffin Jekyll1886 • 2 months ago

"Thank you." Griffin said as Weir put the cat out for him.

As Weir spoke further Griffin quietly drank his drink.

"Mm, right. Well which ever I pick I assure you I intend to keep our partnership intake. As said before amist the dumbstock common sense is so hard to come by."

Jekyll1886 MillieGriffin • 2 months ago

"'Tis a good thing you and I are quite uncommon," remarked Lewis with a nod as he raised his glass briefly, then took a swig.

"I'd be happy to supply my product through legal or illegal channels, whichever you decide, by the by. It makes little difference to me--I'm a relative nobody. And it's not as if I can publish my findings about the 'Jekyll-and-Hyde phenomenon' without turning all of London against one of our very co-founders."

He shook his head.

"Still," he mused, "perhaps I might be able to get away with a short piece about astral travel or the near-death state. Just a wee little paper. It shouldn't be too far a stretch, considering some people these days are perfectly willing to go to seances and charlatans. At least this would have the weight of experience and observation behind it."

MillieGriffin Jekyll1886 • 2 months ago

Griffin took a hearty swig of his drink as he listened to Weir.

"If that's what you want to publish then all luck to you." He took another sip, "though it's still beond me as to why anyone would be interested enough to study those J-H combos."

Jekyll1886 • 6 days ago

"Well," said Lewis, "the study of the human soul is, for the most part, currently confined to theology, which--alas--is a matter of belief or conjecture rather than science. As my particular area of expertise within transcendental metaphysics is the soul or spirit--call it what you will--the Jekyll-and-Hyde phenomenon presents an unparalleled opportunity to study one of the soul's component parts, undiluted by the rest. I'm certain there are others, but I'll take what I can get--and the Society's a veritable gold mine in that respect."

"Mm—... "

Griffin took a long drag on his drink.

"I suppose that makes sense... " He said reluctantly before muttering with the glass close to his lips, "There's enough of those little bastards running around here to make Bethlem look sane... " And he took another long drag on his glass.

She put a foot up to brush down her antennas, hardly holding down an embarrassed hum, wings brushing in and out of her shell. ))

Embarrassment of his own had his smile turning small and sheepish as he glanced away.

"Forgive me, signora, I did not mean to discomfit you. I merely sought to give you my full gratitude for your own kindness, and to reassure you that you are in no way unwelcomed by those who live here, regardless of how you might have ended up within these walls. Though we have spoken but twice, I dare admit I will look forward to your eventual return, and cherish the memory of your easy company should it be.. not to be."

Frowning slightly, he looked down at his hands and added, "Sharing words with you is far easier on my mind than sharing with some here, is all. I wished to return the favor in kind."

At this, Richard laughed in earnest, the sound like broken, falling crystal, clear and sharp, almost dissonant from so stern his usual countenance. This laughter lasted several moments before he composed himself running a hand down his face.

"Forgive me, I mean no offense with my laughter, only that the reasoning behind my avoidance is far from as fear as possible."

After all, with the exception of those beings that couldn't quite be counted as mortal for at least a temporary phase, he was well prepared to defend himself against any that might dare attack him.

Rolling his shoulders, he sat back and fixed Buddleja with a wry grin.

"I avoid most of them due to their rudeness, and many of those that are rude are not interesting enough to overlook it. If their rudeness would come from some lack of understanding proper manners, I would be more inclined towards leniency, but alas, there is no such reasoning to be found."

At this, he wrinkled his nose, though the expression was made as one who finds their situation humorous.

"Rudeness and a lack of intrigue are perhaps two of the ugliest things to find in a world already harsh and yet full of mystery. I cannot fathom why anyone would want to embrace either quality."

After a moment, he relaxed, shaking his head softly.

"I have seen too much ugliness already. If solitude is to be the singular place I can surround myself with beauty, then alone I shall be."

(There was a singular exception to these rules of his, and that exception had held his heart since a single conversation in the kitchen. Even Charricthran, for all his coarseness, was polite to those he interacted with--especially if he intended to kill them later.

Such charming people he associated with, and yet, he hardly had room to judge, now did he?)

Lady Bird made a tiny inaudible gasp.

" Rᴇᴀʟʟʏ!? Oʜ ᴛʜᴇ ɴᴇʀᴠᴇ! "

It was actually a little shocking to here that they were even a little inclined to discourtesy. The lodgers had always been so friendly when she observed them, and for all the idiosyncrasies they had, they seemed to get on just fine with one another.

She huffed and gave him a reassuring pat.

" Wᴇʟʟ, ᴛʜᴇʏ ᴅᴏɴ'ᴛ ᴋɴᴏᴡ ᴡʜᴀᴛ ᴛʜᴇɪʀ ᴍɪssɪɴɢ ᴛʜᴇɴ. "

With one final munch, she finished her crumb and went about grooming herself clean.

Richard's smile lost whatever sharpness it had with all the grace of a cat sheathing its claws. It was this kinder smile that he gave Buddleja, nodding slightly.

"Just so, just so."

Having spoken, he trailed off into quiet contemplation, a sort of world-weariness gathered around his shoulders like heavy clouds.

(( Pyrogue Osha Violations the Musical continuation- name a work in progress :P

Pyrogue:

"Alright." He made his way up the ladder again, ignoring his slightly sweaty palms -- he had never liked heights -- and held up the cutters for Richard to take. ))

It was with great care that Richard shifted his weight on the ladder to take the wirecutters from Ezekiel's hands. Once he had them, he equally as carefully straightened up and put blade to wire.

He then paused, and glanced back down at the other man.

"Perhaps you should descend before I cut myself free. There is a chance the recoil from the taut wire will cause me to over balance. I have precautions in place to ensure my own safety, but I would rather avoid risking yours."

(( I have a very fun story about osha violations, by which I mean theres a reason they exist kids ;D.... ;-; ))

Only once Ezekiel was safely down the ladder did Richard start cutting himself free. It was something of a difficult task even with all his height, as the loosest section of cable (which was the least likely to recoil and knock him skyward) was caught near the spine of the great beast.

Still, despite his weariness and the stiffness in his shoulders, he managed to send all the loose ends of cable to the ground with little more than some muttered swearing and a warning to Ezekiel.

Naturally that meant when he started to climb down the ladder, things were bound to go wrong, because far be it from the universe to let him off easy. Quite frankly, even thinking back on it later, he wouldn't have been able to say what caused him to miss his footing about halfway down the ladder, but the fact remained that he had. With the wire cutters in one hand and his other arm flung backwards in an instinctual reach for balance, it was little wonder he fell backwards.

It was the thing of a great many years' practice falling off buildings that he twisted mid-air and bent his knees to brace for impact with the floor. Between that and the technology he'd spent the better part of three more years perfecting at the Society, he landed with a few bouncing hops, not unlike a rubber ball coming to rest.

Richard stood still for several moments after his mind registered that it was no longer falling, such was the suddenness of it all.

"How exciting," he eventually chirped in all too cheerful a manner, "let us never do that again, yes? I think I rather detest ladders at the moment."

As the ladder teetered slightly Ez’s eyes widened in a slow moment of realisation.

Oh dear.

Having leapt sideways out of Richard’s way so as to avoid being hit, Ez was slightly in awe.

“S-sorry, I should have been steadying the ladder better...

“Did you learn to fall like that? You’re like a cat, if I can make a comparison.”

((Do I want to hear the story? Also Crowley from the new Good Omens show is giving me slight Charricthran energies...))

(( So firstly I adore the Good Omens book as well as David Tennant so I will take that comparison with the Highest amount of chuffed gratitude :D secondly, you're not wrong- I hadn't read Good Omens when I first made Char, but reading it after, I realized he and Crowley would probably get along like houses on fire (for better or for worse lol).

As for the osha violations deal, to make a long story short a coworker of mine thought the rules about not operating a corded power tool on a ladder were for lesser men, so he uses a jigsaw on a 20 foot ladder, does what Richard did, and ended up with a jigsaw blade in his leg :D Thankfully as far as injuries go it wasn't too severe but like.

Every rule for safety is written in blood, kids! Follow em, or it's gonna be yours. On that cheerful note, back to writing xD ))

Richard gave Ezekiel a reassuring smile as he shook his head.

"It is hardly your fault, I am a very dense sort of body. In a sense, I was taught and taught myself how to fall safely."

A wistful expression crossed his face and he chuckled, the sound rumbling in his chest.

"I spent no small amount of time gallivanting across rooftops and treetops in my youth. The falling got to be perhaps as fun as, if not more than, the climbing and leaping itself."

A pause, another chuckle, and then, "I suppose the amount of ballet I practiced would be of aid as well, though I did not learn the bulk of that until later."

Gaze darted from Ezekiel, to the ladder, then back again as Richard's smile turned to a wry grin.

"I could teach you some of what I know, if you would like. You need not even climb so high as I to learn. I owe you much for your help, so it seems only fair I offer at the least."

Richard inclined his head in a nod, which quickly turned to a small, slightly surprised smile as his work was complimented.

"Thank you. I am always glad to discuss my work with interested minds, should you be so inclined. You study virology of a sort, yes? Is it of the mundane kind, the more arcane kind, or? I will admit to knowing little of the structure of cells and viruses--my mind has been taken by the structure of crystal and metal."

“A little of both, really,” he replied, eager to speak about his work. “Although I’m a little restricted as to what I can do at the moment, because of recent events...” He trailed off and laughed nervously.

“I should probably take this opportunity to say I’m really sorry for what happened a few months ago, with the whole Red Death scare thing, even though you weren’t directly involved. I... I put everyone at the Society in danger, so I understand if you hold it against me. It was a grave mistake, but I’m working toward correcting it.”

For a moment, the friendly warmth in Richard's face dimmed, leaving behind a curious and piercing sort of gaze. The change was as gradual as a snuffed candle flame, that is to say, not at all.

After a moment of complete stillness, he spoke.

"While I am none too grateful we were spared a particularly interesting death from the subject of your studies, know that I hold very little against you for it. You are making your reparations, and you show an active interest in avoiding the repetition of your past actions."

A beat, and his warmth returned like the strike of a match.

"Your apology is appreciated and accepted, Signor."

With a final chuckle, he slipped his free hand into his pocket.

"Oh, I think I know better than to promise that. Still, I will avoid repeating this particular folly."

A nod.

"Take care, Signor Hollis."

With that, he began to pick up the dropped pieces of cable he'd left behind, a faint smile still on his face.

Yes, perhaps things had settled into a gentler sort of normal for the time being. It was rather nice, if he dared to admit it.

It happened on last week's page. Needless to say, I was shocked as it happened--it felt a bit like being in a slow-motion train wreck; both Mz. and I were affected emotionally even while writing it. The characters did what and reacted how they would, and played off each other in unanticipated ways.

It is a consolation to me--I'm glad to hear at least it proved interesting reading. What had been intended as merely a bump in the road, which I'd hoped would lead to Lewis and Val's first serious discussion as a couple and which would have, I'd thought, made their relationship stronger afterward, wound up instead turning into a (temporary?) break-up due to the characters reacting in ways I'd not anticipated.

Despite my own emotions while writing it, I remain a firm believer in "character first" when it comes to how a story shakes out, and am gratified to know it ultimately made for a gripping read. I appreciate your feedback, as always. ^_^
