You laugh until you cry; you cry until you laugh

[sailorgenerous]

Who: Virgo musicians - Ghost Quest people and their friends
What: When eight musicians go missing, what happens to those left behind? What happens when those eight come back far worse for the wear?
When: Feb 1st-3rd and after
Where: Virgo HQ
Warnings: Talk of torture, violence, brainwashing, etc. It's ugly in here, folks.

The past three days have not been kind. The hauntings were odd, yes, but when your friends went missing without warning or a trace - well.

How have you been coping? Have you been coping?

And then they came back just as suddenly, and...it looks like your worries were not unfounded.

This isn't good, is it.

[ Ivan goes still again. He wants to see what he looks like with Mom's styling. ]

[giglio_madonna]

[Patiently, she works through his hair again.]

There... And slower, this time.

[sponsorigami]

[ Ivan moves as slow as possible to the point where it looks like he's not moving at all... ]

[giglio_madonna]

...A little faster would be alright, dear. I'm not sure you're actually moving right now.

[sponsorigami]

[ He moves to stand a little faster, but it'll probably be faster to bring him a hand mirror or take a picture with a cell phone. ]

[giglio_madonna]

[She's starting to realize. Shaking her head, she starts to move to the bathroom.]

Have a hand mirror, dear?

[sponsorigami]

[ Her son. ]

Uh... try the drawer in the bathroom. I don't really use one.

[ Messy windswept looking hair is kind of his thing, after all. ]

[giglio_madonna]

And I'm sure hair magazines everywhere hate you for it.

[Looking for the mirror is another thing to do, however, and she lets it occupy her mind before making a small triumphant noise. Returning, she holds his reflection up to him.]

Here you go.

[sponsorigami]

They seem to like speculating what I do, at least.

[ He calls out as she leaves. His favorite theory is him doing ninja flips and runs until his hair dries. When she comes back, he'll thank her and gently take the mirror and tilt it to get a better look. ]

Wow, you did a great job. I should get a clip to put on it, so it's more permanent... or longer lasting at least.

[ It is just paper after all. ]

[giglio_madonna]

We can always do it again for another day, you know.

[sponsorigami]

Promise?

[ Maybe it'll help Luce to have a small, achievable goal in the near future. To keep her going in addition to the origami. ]

[giglio_madonna]

[She can't lie- the prospect is a soothing one to the conflict in her mind.]

I promise.

End thread around here?

[sponsorigami]

[ That brings a big smile out of Ivan. Luce is still with them, even after what Virgo did to her. ]

It looks like we finished the tea and snacks. Should we grab something more from the kitchen?

sounds good

[giglio_madonna]

Ah... [The idea of having to face Angel sends a sliver of apprehension through the back of her mind, but she forces it away with her nod.] That sounds good, dear. Lead the way.

[sponsorigami]

[ He'll protect her, even if he's still sore from the kick he suffered while as a fox. Ivan stands up and offers his hand to not only help her up but also to hold as they go out. ]
