Who: Adam and Sullys

When: Maybe an hour after this thread, 30th May
Rating: low
Open: To anyone at the Sully house
Status: Ongoing

Adam had found the map of the island that Izzy had gifted to him, and quickly worked out the route to her house. It would be nice to visit, and to meet her granddaughter (even if the lady seemed too young by far to be anyone's grand-mère), but he was apprehensive to say the least about watching this Movie.

He had discovered how to use his telephone to take pictures a while back, so he took a picture of the section of the map he required to check as he walked, and then went to make sure he was dressed suitably for visiting. He tied his hair back, and then checked how his new clothes looked; denim trousers, a garment called a "tee shirt", and a short jacket made of soft, black leather. They were modern, and he hoped they looked well.

He walked out to Izzy's house, taking the time to think about the fact that people from this time still knew about Belle and him. He wondered how the tale would have changed in the two centuries since it had happened, and what it would actually look like. How odd, for his first Movie on a TeeVee to be about himself.

He was almost at the house when he met a giant. He stopped on the road and stared up at the large blue man until he was noticed. The giant nodded down at him with a smile and said a strange word to him ("Cal-tey"?) before heading off into the forest at a run. "...Bonjour?" Adam replied hesitantly, watching as the giant vanished into the trees, before continuing on towards Izzy's house. A few minutes later, a dragon flew overhead. "Cette île est très étrange," he muttered to himself, looking round for anything else that might appear.

The only other thing he saw as he approached the house was a small ginger cat who came over to say hello. She watched him for a few seconds, meowed at him quite loudly, and then turned to walk towards the front door. He followed after her, amused at her behaviour, and stood back as she pawed at the door. "Excusez-moi, mademoiselle chat," he said with a smile, and reached over to knock at the door. "Est-ce mieux?" he asked, and then laughed when she meowed back. "Bien."

Izzy had gone into a bit of a cleaning frenzy when Adam asked to come over, picking up toys and other bits of clutter to make the house look somewhat more presentable. She'd let things slide a little bit as her belly had started ballooning out over the last month (at twelve weeks she was already the size she'd been at sixteen with twins, god help her a few months from now) it'd come back to bite her now.

The house didn't look that bad considering the number of young children running around, but it wasn't every day an honest to god nobleman came to visit and it had Izzy a little frazzled. Sure Adam seemed to be a very nice man and probably wouldn't say anything even if it was a shambles, but she couldn't help it.

At the knock on the door she muttered a curse, another half hour would have been nice but she hadn't told him to wait. Taking a deep breath to calm herself down, Izzy put a smile on her face and made her way down the hall to open the door.

"Adam! It's good to see you."

"Bonjour, Izzy. Thank you for letting me visit," Adam said, waiting to let Mademoiselle Chat enter first, and following her into the house. "You have a very polite cat," he added, smiling down at his host, "she showed me to the door and even knocked for me. And you have dogs! I heard them as I approached. Do... do you also have... a dragon? Very large and loud."

He looked all round the room they stood in after that, then turned back to Izzy. "I confess, I am unsure of what I am to do to watch Movies on the TeeVee. Is it like a play?"

"It's no trouble at all," Izzy assured him. Of course she'd have said the same thing even if it had been. "I've been meaning to invite you over for Sunday dinner for a while now."

"Taronyu is very polite cat that's true." Izzy agreed with a smile, refraining from trying to bend down to pick up the purring cat currently winding their way around her feet, getting back up would be too much of a hassle. "We've got something of a menagerie here. My husband is a botanist by training and has been studying veterinary medicine, so we've accumulated a large collection of plants and animals. And the island being what it is?" she shrugged and gave a wry smile. "Dragons may be included in that mix, or it might have been my brother-in-laws Ikran, which is something else altogether." Not to mention adult children arriving from the future before they'd even been conceived.

"A movie is a lot like what JR told you you tube was like, only with actors instead of musicians. It's a recording of actors in a performance, only as it isn't live they can do many things that wouldn't be possible in a stage performance. You can just sit back and enjoy the performance, there won't be anyone on the other side of the screen to know or care what your reaction was."

"Truly? I would be honoured to accept your invitation," he said, smiling widely as he spoke, before faltering slightly. "Although it may be some time before I can respond in kind, madame. Cooking was not included in my education," he admitted, "and I have no staff."

"Eekran..." he said quietly to himself, making sure he had it correctly. He had never heard of such a beast. He would have to look through the biology section in the library.

"So the TeeVee is like a large telephone, oui? With the screen and the little holes so the noise can get out."

Izzy eyed him with a bit of concern at that statement. What had he been doing for food all this time? He didn't look like he was losing weight so he was obviously eating. Maybe he was just going to the pub or the diner for his meals.

She heard him mumble something about the ikran as they made their way down the hall but decided not to comment. He'd figure it out himself later or he'd ask, let it go until then.

"Something like that. TVs and phones used to be very different, but advancements in technology seem to be sweeping the differences aside." They entered the media room, where a large tv screen took up most of one wall, with small speakers mounted on the walls to provide surround sound. Framed movie posters served as decoration for the walls.

"Would you like anything to drink?"

Izzy was super excited. She wore a t-shirt that read 'Beauty is found within' and jeans with little roses embroidered on them. She was honestly doing her best to help her grandmother, and that mostly meant watching the pets to make sure they didn't make more of a mess. The movie was ready to go; she'd chosen the 1991, animated version. She thought that might be easier for him to watch.

"Hi." She called out, in case they hadn't seen her from her spot, crouched down, petting one of the dogs. She straightened up and smiled, "We don't have any grey stuff, but we have water, juice, lemonade and iced tea."

Adam had been about to ask for wine when Izzy spoke up. He turned to face the new voice, and smiled as he saw the young girl. "Bonjour, Mademoiselle Izzy," he said, bowing low as he greeted her.

As he straightened up, he considered the drinks options. The iced tea sounded puzzling, so he decided to try it. "I would like to try the iced tea, s'il vous plaît," he said, "for I have never had this before."

Izzy eyed her granddaughter, silently making the point that she should be on her best behavior with their guest. So far so good though, and little Izzy was a well mannered child on average. "We do actually have a little bit of wine if you'd rather have that, but iced tea is a favorite of mine. It developed out of the southern part of the United States, where I'm from originally."

She turned her attention over to her granddaughter for a moment. "Izzy what would you like?"

	Izzy couldn't help a smile and a bit of a blush. A fairy tale prince bowed to her. That was so cool, even for a girl that had grown up on the island. It would make for a good diary entry that night. She wondered if she should have tried to find some french drinks. "Orange juice, please." She replied to her grandmother. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Non, I will try your iced tea. As I say, I have not had it before, but I have drank wine all my life," he explained, then looked down at little Izzy once more. "Who is your friend?" he asked her, indicating the dog. "Already, I have met a very polite cat, and a blue giant. And I have seen an... eekran? Ikran? Which is correct?"

	"Two ice teas and an orange juice coming up. I'll be right back." Izzy nodded and went to get the drinks, leaving her granddaughter to entertain their guest. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Thank you." Izzy said to her grandmother.

"This is Yuey. He's a good boy. You can pet him. We have another dog, Trouble. He's around here somewhere." Izzy reached down and gave Yuey a few pets. "Which cat did you meet? There's Taronyu and Humungousaur. Was it one of them?" She giggled. "That must have been my Uncle Jake. He's not a giant. He's a Na'vi. And Banshee is his Ikran."

"Merci, Izzy," Adam said as she left the room, then went over to crouch down beside little Izzy and her dog.

"Bonjour, Yuey," he said, letting the dog sniff at him before trying to pet him, while mouthing the word "humumgousaur" to himself. Such strange names. "I met Taronyu. She wished to open the door for me, which is very kind of her."

He frowned when Izzy claimed the blue giant as her uncle, though. "Your uncle is a blue gi- ah. Navee? And your aunt is a mermaid? You have quite the family, ma petite!"

"Taronyu's a little hunter. That's what her name means. She used to stalk Uncle Jake's tail and pounce on it." Izzy explained. Maybe she would again when Jake got his memories back. "Taronyu was a person once."

"I do! My whole family's special. I was a N'avi once too. I had a birthday on Pandora. That's where Na'vi are from. I was really tall, like this." She stood on her toes and stretched her arms up in the air. "And I was blue, like this." She touched the tv with her hand and slowly, she turned blue.

"Was Taronyu cursed to be a cat?" he asked, wondering how often that sort of thing happened on this island. No wonder she was so polite.

He nodded as she talked about Pandora, which had him wondering about the old myth, but what that had to do with tall blue people? He had no idea. But then Izzy was turning... blue? "Mon Dieu," he muttered.

"Are you an enchantress?"

"On, no. She was born a cat. The island made a person for about a month." Izzy answered. "I don't know which she liked better. Cat or human. I think she's happy as long as she's not alone."

"No, I'm a.." She paused and slowly turned back to her regular appearance. "I don't know. Grandma and some of my aunts and uncles are technomages. They use magic and technology. I guess I have some of their magic 'cause I need technology to use my magic. I have some of my bio dad's powers too maybe. I'm like a hybrid."
