Subject: "Malussinn, I need to talk to you." Her becalmed voice tenderly contradicts the malstroms that ferment bitterly in her kohl-heavy eyes.

She shifts lightly, her delicate face appearing gaunt and haggard in the milky candlelight.
"I don't know where to begin," she muses quietly, taking a seat on a nearby pouf. "And I don't want to sound depressing. I know we're all getting tired of that. However, I do want to adress the fact that I'm not the happiest person in the world, and I'm starting to wonder if I really belong here."
"Someone took my container of Quaaludes tonight. I don't know who, and I don't know why. I only hope they don't plan on using them. I bought those a few months ago, when I thought everything ought to end."
"I've moved on from there, now. I don't feel like doing away with myself." She chuckles, a fleeting note of bitterness, though barely detectable, undeniably present.
"Things have changed. I've changed. You've changed. However, certain things that ought'nt to change have most certainly done just that. And I don't like that they've changed, and niether does Nia."
"I'm sure you don't have any idea what I'm talking about." Her expression vaguely reminiscent of a thin smile, she stands up decisively and walks away.

He grabs her arm, forcing her to turn and look at him. -- Malussinn, 16:15:49 12/10/01 Mon
- "I--I......I....er..." (>>>>) -- Cirrus, 14:51:02 12/11/01 Tue
  - Puzzlement seeps into his eyes. -- Malussinn, 18:56:25 12/11/01 Tue
    - "Sure." She mutters. "Why not." -- Cirrus, 14:03:37 12/12/01 Wed
      - "Actually no. I've had enough alcohol flood my system for the night." Sighing, she takes a seat, crossing her legs carefully before fixating her penatrating gaze on him. (NT) -- Cirrus, 14:57:34 12/12/01 Wed
        He shrugs lightly, folding his arms across his chest as he meets her eye for eye. "Are you ready to tell me?" (NT) -- Malussinn, 20:20:18 12/12/01 Wed
        "Yes, I suppose I am." She smiles faintly. -- Cirrus, 14:39:40 12/13/01 Thu
        His face is as emotionless as stone as he leans back, running one steady hand through his hair. -- Malussinn, 15:39:39 12/13/01 Thu
        She smiles affectionately at him. "Yes. Yes, I can." She squeezes his hands gently. -- Cirrus, 15:41:39 12/13/01 Thu
        His smile widens to a grin. "Thanks." (NT) -- Malussinn, 15:43:51 12/13/01 Thu
        Her eyes tender, she slowly gets up. "And now I need a drink," she announces wryly. (NT) -- Cirrus, 16:36:06 12/13/01 Thu
        He blinks and shakes his head before standing up also. "Now that you mention it, a drink would be nice, very nice." I never thought to would be so easy.... But what now? Do I start complimenting her? Do we go our separate ways? He runs a hand through his head, watching her with masked eyes. A slow smile wears away the mask. That's future, what's now is now. Amazing, I feel better all ready! (NT) -- Malussinn, 14:12:14 12/14/01 Fri
        She snatches a translucent flute of magnolia wine carefully, lest it shatter once again. Pivoting on a three-inch heel, she flashes her rarest and most ellucidating smile, having settled into what seems to be a long, uncompromising line of happy moods (which there is certainly something to be said for). "Now," she announces as she takes her seat again, "we have all the time in the world." Which is nice. Yes, it's very nice. This isn't a bad night, on the whole. Except for the damn rain. Her thoughts dissolve gently, or perhaps migrate to the south. Whatever. Daydreaming didn't seem to be necessary right then. Her eyes beam shafts of light as she takes a slow sip of the sweet liquor. (NT) -- Cirrus, 07:27:28 12/15/01 Sat
Slightly startled at her swift rise and fall, he sits down quickly. Bemusedly he watches her, daydreaming might not have been necessary to Cirrus but to Mal it was wonderful. Submerged in happiness and relief, the black haired man leans back comfortably as he tries to keep a leash on his wandering thoughts. -- Malussinn, 17:37:42 12/15/01 Sat
- She offers a contemplative smile in a fruitless attempt to figure out what, exactly, was making him exceedingly happy. Better not to question, though. Silence could be golden; other times platinum. (NT) -- Cirrus, 07:09:52 12/16/01 Sun
  - Kate decides that she's had enough of Mal acting like an pure-blooded fool, and 'taps' him sharply on the head. His now very sore head throbs him back into awareness and he winces before grinning wryly at Cirrus. "Some things never change. My player still thinks I'm an idiot." (NT) -- Malussinn, 12:55:41 12/16/01 Sun
    - She chuckles genially. "I know the feeling, I'm afraid. My player thinks I'm a daft fool." She grins. (NT) -- Cirrus, 13:01:47 12/16/01 Sun
      - He nods. "We all are, from their view." (NT) -- Malussinn, 15:22:24 12/16/01 Sun
        Taking a hefty swig of wine, she concludes this with a neutral, "Yes, well." She smiles into her empty glass, her cheeks that unfortunate scarlet again. (NT) -- Cirrus, 15:27:22 12/16/01 Sun
        With a extremely wary expression, he watches her, wondering what she's thinking. "Well..." he trails off, not really knowing what to say. (NT) -- Malussinn, 15:39:27 12/16/01 Sun
        She gives him a suspciously-nuetral about face, her eyes perfectly balanced although reluctant to disclose any of her thoughts. She tosses her now-empty goblet over her shoulder and smiles drearily. "That one hit the bullseye," she giggles. (NT) -- Cirrus, 15:46:46 12/16/01 Sun
Clenching his hands to keep calm - he knew tipsiness when he saw it - he places his hand lightly over hers. "Would you like some water? To... wash it down?" (NT) -- Malussinn, 15:49:46 12/16/01 Sun
- "How about a rasberry spritzer instead?" Giggling madly, she stands up and trips over a chair. (NT) -- Cirrus, 15:51:48 12/16/01 Sun
  - "Alright." Grabbing Cirrus firmly at the elbow, she proceeds to lead her towards Evil Valley. "You just had to go and ruin a perfectly nice evening, now didn't you? Do you want something to make it go away?" (NT) -- Nia, 15:58:15 12/16/01 Sun
    - "I don't know, I swear I don't!" Her voice hits a shrill note. (cont. inside) -- Cirrus, 16:06:21 12/16/01 Sun
      - All during this [hilarious] procedure, Malussinn had decided to retrieve his own glass of some unknown liquid and sip it as he watched the entertainment. -- Malussinn and Thunderwave, 17:33:38 12/16/01 Sun
        He stands abruptly, hearing a scream from another thread. (Now how weird does that sound?) Pursing his lips tightly, he gazes at the three others. "Stay here, I'll be back if I can." Without another word he races off, running as if his life - or another's - depended on his speed. (NT) -- Malussinn, 21:15:54 12/16/01 Sun
        Her eyes close. -- Cirrus, 15:04:48 12/17/01 Mon
        Thunderwave watches Cirrus and Nia with a slight don't-you-worry smile. "I think he found something that needed his immediate attention, that's all." (NT) -- Thunderwave, 15:46:57 12/17/01 Mon
        (Idiot me) He turns his smile wholly on Nia. "No where special." (NT) -- Thunderwave, 15:49:11 12/17/01 Mon
        Her eyes bright, she retaliates gently with, "that's good." (NT) -- Nia, 15:51:30 12/17/01 Mon
