Hide Our Kidz - A PSL Community

I'm disappointed in all of you. Months here and no one's thrown a party. What, do I have to cut your food for you people too? Take some initiative.

Seriously, is this thing ever gonna end?

We haven't collaborated in a while. Let's do something that will make at least 25% of Empty Town unable to breathe easy for a week.

Opinion Poll: Say someone dumped like, half a shaker of salt on the breakfast their boyfriend just made. This is clearly just an appreciation of the flavorful magic of salt and not an insult to his cooking, right? I mean, the hash is still under the salt. There is clearly no reason to get huffy here.

Patrick
No, I did not dump half a shaker of salt on breakfast when you turned around. Salt is your brother's trigger-word. Respond accordingly.

Tiny Milligan
How do you feel about enclosed spaces? I'm making you a present. It'll be boring as fuck, but you'll like it.

Patrick
I need two things from you.

1) A word that Parker should gradually begin associating with gay porn without realizing why.
2) Pluck a hair, I'm bonding a cardboard box with enhanced dimensional qualities to the Milligan DNA.

Has anyone considered the possibility that this place might not be a town at all, but just a part of some sick bastard's bizarre snowglobe collection?

holy.... what the... TESSA! If you were trying to give me a heart attack? MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

((pretend this was posted last night, post-untethering, handwave, handwave...))

Guys, has Elder Milligan's face always looked like that? I mean, is this just a thing I got used to via exposure before my visual palate was forcibly refreshed? His nose is just...kind of weird isn't it?

See, apparently at midnight "normal people" like to be sleeping not turning all the lights on to see everything, or reading books, or watching TV,or going outside, even if the person they are tethered to just regained their eyesight

Hi Dad, I'm invoking your name to threaten the guy who's tethered to Patrick's little sister. Can you keep a psychic ear out for her?

Also, do you know anything about when this is going to, you know, end? There are only so many times I can punch this guy.

Seal must think its funny. I had intended to have my own room to myself after passing those tests. I do much better alone. FYI, I also passed the tests 24 years ago Apparently it doesn't think so. No offense, but I'd prefer it's someone I know. Maybe my partner at the firm, or a fishing or hunting buddy. Or even a client if there was court here, it'd be easier to go over case notes. Kinda weird being stuck with a stranger. A whitelighter one, at that. Hadn't seen one in nearly 30 years.

[Girl that I'm stuck with]
So, I need to ask, what's your name? Something familiar, plus you seem to know me but I don't know you Sorry you got hurt when you orbed. If this were one sided, I'd endure it if it were just me being hurt. But your safety is of more importance, so let's not risk it again.

Also, we should look into beds. I'm sure there's a couple rooms next to this one that are empty. We can grab it. Or... this way is easier, I could bring the couch into the bedroom and sleep on that instead. I've been on couches before, no problem.

My wake up call this morning was not an alarm, but instead a punch. I may or may not have a black eye now. Thanks, Tessa. I see lots of snark in my future. And possibly even more hate sent my way from my brother, but whatever, this is a seal thing not a 'trying to steal your girl' thing so

Okay, seriously James, this is not an appropriate prank and besides what the fuck did I ever do to you, man? Hey, Tessa, where are you right now?

[Mrs. Lewis]
Alright, so, um, I am really really sorry I froze you. Just, uh, I didn't really expect to wake up to you.

Town? Check. School that looks like it's been abandoned for 80 years? Check. A ridiculous amount of tress that kinda look out of place? Check. Other forms of life? Not so much.... Uh, is there anybody out there? Cause this is pretty weird, even by my standards...

Okay so I just speak into this and
Shit, is this even fucking
So how about we never, ever, ever do that again
I didn't think I was ever going to

Okay, the Helen Keller impression got boring.

Patrick
What happened? If you left during that then something must have
Actually, no, I've had enough of needing people to reassure me every five goddamn seconds so

So, Tessa, James, and Casey head out from the lobby, find Mirror!Loki, and James and Casey set about being distracting and fight-y while Tessa tries to link with Loki. When she does it is, to use Erin's words, like this: "I doubt she'll get a whole lot from Loki right now. Like she'd probably notice a difference, but it wouldn't be like WHOOOOOSH POWER. It'd be like OH, HEY, I HAD COFFEE THIS MORNING"

Realizing that coffee is not enough to fight evil, she tosses that plan out the window, texts Patrick, and sends James to hide somewhere out of harm's way while she links with him instead. This is super effective! After a brief struggle, Fake-Loki is bound, banished, and good riddance to him.

Unfortunately, the spell Tessa was using is not exactly designed for archangel power and neither is...she. There's a very long moment where it looks like she won't be able to break the link at all. Then she starts bleeding from her eyes, ears, and nose, seizes, and passes out, breaking the link. She's not out long, maybe five minutes, but when she wakes up she's blind, deaf and...rather magic-less. Basically she blew a fuse and needs to very slowly reset. Until she does she's a stronger than average but otherwise regular human who also happens to take after Helen Keller.

After the fight (around 5am I think) Casey has whatever injuries she sustained being distracting/protecting the magic users, James has whatever injuries he got before he retreated and his power is back, and Tessa (once she wakes up) is flipping a shit about the blind/deaf/power-free thing. If any of the others get near her she won't recognize them and will flip out. Basically the only people she's going to calm down for or go home with willingly are her parents or Patrick who would have to somehow convey to her who they were.

So yes! No more evil!Loki! Hooray! Reactions/injuries/etc. here please!

This is ending right the fuck now. James, Casey, anyone else who can take a hit from a god and keep on moving, I need you outside the hotel in five minutes. There's a plan. Everyone else stay inside.

Mom and Dad
I love you guys so much.
Don't wait up, I went to kick ass.

Slightly future-dated text to Patrick, sent during the fight, just before she links with James
>> Fuck it. I love you.

someone needs to go to the lobby they wont wake up and i cant stay there i cant do anything im sorry


[ooc: Basically, oooo corpses. Penny tried to heal them, and then freaked out and orbed away~]

I cannot stop him.

[ooc: For the record: Loki and Tessa teleported over to where mirror!Loki was blowing up the local bakery (donut worry?), intending to bind his power and banish him. Only, as soon as Loki got too close, he was teleported away by ~some unknown force~ (aka the barrier). WHOOPS.]

Well, you pass out for a nice little coma go to sleep early just once and look at all the fun and games you miss. Lesson learned.

Now, however, I am rested and ready to play.

Dad
Please tell me you can kill him
Dad, I can't do this again, I need
Are you any better this morning?

Mom
So. I read your posts from last night. You were really just going to walk out of here and let me wake up to you gone and Dad so out of it he can't even form words to tell me what happened?

Patrick
So, you know that with my Dad sort of out of commission there is a chance I'm up to bat here. Remember that promise about not risking your life? Cashing it in.
Look, maybe my dad can still handle it. I don't want to go up against this thing. I'm sc
I know, you in a huge group living situation makes you jumpy. You did manage the complex in 2012 though. What are the chances I can convince you to move yourself and Tiny Milligan in with my parents until this is over? They're in the hotel, but they can move into one of the suites if I ask.

I would likeTo sorry for the pain i May have caused last evening. That was not international, and i hope I did not alarm Anyone.

Ifany one requires Assistance, i"m afraid I seem to have be somewhat damaged at the moment. it will paste.


[ooc: Loki's brain is still a little hole-affied, thus the little serving of word/grammar-salad he's serving up, here~]
