Finding Ida's sister

Mac: I don't know, maybe Liza get's her healing powers more from my Paladin powers rather then her Goddess powers, if so the power to heal won't work on someone with a tainted soul, but his soul is unstable not tainted at least as far as I can tell, this guy must have some serious power to confuse my vision, even Vandriel and Eris couldn't fool it, so what the hell is going on?
 
You're asking me? Just...you're not sensing evil, for sure?


Liza continues to look up at Alex, frowning slightly. "I can get you a stuffed animal if you want."
 
M: Let's face it I've lost a lot of mojo since becoming mortal, maybe the batteries for my powers is finally starting to fade.


A:That's ok Liza I'm happy with you. *bouncing her on my knee*
 
Faith is alarmed, grabbing your arm and hissing under her breath. "You mean...you might be becoming more vulnerable? Like, fully human?"


Liza giggles. "Giddy up!"
 
M: I'm not sure exactly just yet, I guess we'll have to wait and see.


A: I have to go now Liza, I need to show Jason where he'll sleep and then I have to get back to my lab.
 
*Liza slides off his lap and immediately climbs into Sheena's, and Sheena puts an arm around her lightly, looking to delay being alone with Ida again. Faith is still frowning as she mutters back* Keep me updated about this, Macal...let me know if you know things have changed.


(so...if Alana doesn't come back how are we gonna cover for that? lol)
 
Grin steps back into the home after he'd finished smoking, heading back to where the lot of them had stayed gathered. At Jason's words, he laughed a bit. "You must think me a rich man, eager to throw his money around. While I do have money, I am sure you'll put it to better use than I. When you have lived and seen time pass by in such a way, material things begin to become... less important?" he said, ending the last phrase in a question. He wasn't sure if that was how to word it, or if he was doing anything but rambling on.


He shook his head, apologizing to the lot of them. "I'm sorry... I was so quiet for awhile and now I'm speaking endlessly. Don't hold it against me," he said with a joking smile.
 
Liza smiles. "Patty says hi and you are big."


(hm...maybe if she hasn't posted or said anything by the end of the week we should find a way to wrap her part of it up...say she got freaked out listening and got up and left or something? It just seems like the longer we try to extend teh conversation which is supposed to be about her mainly with her not here it's just stretching...and we should change the focus of the rp if she's not going to be in it...idk)
 
(I agree. But... how?)


Jason faltered for a moment, before coming back with, "Well, you aren't so normal-sized yourself, Mrs. Platypus."
 
(I private messaged her like over two weeks ago...so...Alana, if you read this, know you are more than welcome to write yourself back in at any time...but for now I'm just going to write for you. Again, if you come back adn read this, you're more than welcome to return writing yourself in however you wish.)


Ida has been sitting quietly, almost frozen, as all this goes on. The more she hears the exchanges between Grin and Jason and the Cords, and the more she witnesses the casual talk and display of powers, the more uncomfortable she grows. Is this really what she wants...does she really trust these people with her inner thoughts and memories, with her entire past...with the fate of her sister? She just saw Liza HURT Grin by trying to help him...what if something like this happens with her? Liza is only five years old, and if she could hurt an immortal, what might she do by accident to Ida? What might she do to her sister...what if she gets stuck inside her own dreams or past and can't get out?


The more she thinks about it the more nervous she becomes, and finally Ida stands jerkily, glancing around at the others, and says, "I...I think I changed my mind...I'm sorry. I'm just going to go now...uh...nice to meet you, and Mr. Grin...Jason...good luck." She quickly leaves the house, and Liza looks bothered as she goes, turning to her mother.


"I coulda helped Mama...I would have helped."


Faith frowns too, but lets her go; Sheena, meanwhile, whispers to Alex under her breath, "I bet it's just because she doesn't want to share a room with me."
 
Looking over to Jason and Grin, Faith clears her throat. "Uh...well...this has taken an unexpected turn." She rolls her eyes, then sighs. "So is this just like a...casual get together...or is there some way we can help either of you? Other than giving you a place to sleep?"
 
"Uh, no, I don't think so," Jason said hastily. He wouldn't have minded not sleeping there either, but then he remembered the vampires.
 
"You can take Patty with you! She doesn't mind sleeping with boys," Liza adds brightly, smiling at Jason. "Sheena Legs got a wolf so you can have Patty." Sheena looks at Liza quickly, flushing, and tries to clarify unconvincingly.


"Uh, Liza MADE me take Wolf- the stuffed wolf."


"She loves Wolfie," Liza informs you, and Sheena turns even more brightly red.
 
Grin made to go after Ida, then sighed and stopped rubbing his eyes. "I am sure she'll come back in time... this is much to take in for anyone, but she also saw something earlier that could have added to the stress..." he murmured, trailing off with a knowing look to Jason. "I would be lying if I said I was not surprised to see you still here, Jason, after all that has happened. I hope this isn't too much," he said regretfully, knowing just how strange it must be for the boy. He'd seen both sides of Grin, yet still hung around. It was a good show of character, if anything.


Looking to Faith, he smiled and nodded. "Well, I suppose it has. As for helping, I would like to find out more about what exactly I am, but don't want to be of any trouble. I am sure I've caused enough strain as it is," he said truthfully, green eyes flickering slightly.
 
Faith looks to Macal; he knows more about immortals and similar beings than her, having been born one, and she asks, "Well, what do you know, Macal...or would Stick or Tsai? Or at least know where to look?"
 
Well I'm not all knowing or anything but I guess I could give it a shot, but I need to know a few things first. Where you born and immortal like myself or did something happened to you, I guess that depends on if you're human also. Any powers that may help me understand what's going on, knowing your powers can help narrow down what you are.


(Updated Alex here's his file if you want to read it http://www.rpnation.com/entry.php/183-Alex-Sage-Updated)
 
Grin sighed a little, nodding at the other man's words. "I was born human, but later turned into what I was told was an immortal being. I found myself before the Great Old Ones and they 'blessed' me in this way. I don't recall exactly what happened for quite a time afterword, however. The encounter drove my mind away, I fear."


At the mention of any powers, Grin frowned and nodded. "Yes, I had assumed this would come up. I would be willing to show you my main ability and exactly what I am, be it human or not." He paused, looking toward the others for a moment, especially Liza. "I ask, however, that only you and Faith be witness to this. My power can be disturbing to some and I'd rather not frighten any more with my true 'face'."
 
Jason, happy to oblige, gave a nod in the older man's direction and hopped out of his chair. "So, Alex," he said. "How about showing me to my room? Or uh, ours?"
