Log: Marie-Ange and Jamie in "Faxman Captured!"

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

Sometime in the afternoon, before they go to temple with Kitty. Events following these two posts.



x_tarot: *Marie-Ange runs into the laundry room, and stumbles to a stop, boots untied, shirt untucked and hair all kinds of messed up.* Sorry. I .. have no idea what happened!

x_crowdofone: It's okay, Hobbes is fine. I've got Faxman in the kitchen in a garbage bag, I guess you didn't see that comment.

x_tarot: "Oh. no. I ran out as soon as I posted. They never have done this before, running around all crazy. Or running around at all without me knowing!"

x_crowdofone: I hope everything's okay--come on, we'll go round up your drawing. *Jamie starts walking toward the kitchen* It doesn't need to breathe, does it? I've got the garbage bag closed pretty tight.

x_tarot: *The confusion and upset is obvious in Marie-Ange's voice as she answers.* "I hope so too. I don't know if they have to breathe or not, but I think not, because they are not alive." *Wrapping her hair around one hand nervously, she follows up to the kitchen*

x_crowdofone: I'll have the dupe meet us halfway, it'll be quicker. Do you remember dreaming? You said on the journals you'd been taking a nap.

x_tarot: "I don't remember dreaming. But I was so tired after the placement tests that maybe I did and I don't remember it..."

x_crowdofone: Well, I'm sure you'll sort it out. You're coming to temple with us tonight, right? Ms. Frost is driving us, and this kinda seems like a . . . psychic sort of thing, maybe you should talk to her about it.

x_tarot: "I am coming, yes, if I can make Faxman go away. I will ask Ms. Frost. I do not think anyone else could answer why... and I do not want anyone else to have things stolen by Faxman."
x_tarot: *She unwinds the hair from where it is tightly wound around her hand and takes a deep breath.* "Thank you for not being angry."

x_crowdofone: *grin* I think he thought Hobbes was a monster, or something. He's big enough by comparison. And he looks kinda Muppety.
x_crowdofone: *blink* And of course I'm not mad. Nothing bad happened, it's just something to figure out.

x_tarot: "It is still good of you not to be mad. And .. I think maybe that he did think Hobbes was a muppet. I do not think we will know for sure though."

x_crowdofone: *The other dupe rounds the corner, thrashing garbage bag in one hand.* Here we go. One renegade Faxman. *the dupe grins* Sure you didn't draw Dr. Mimeograph in a clever disguise? *the dupe passes the bag to the first Jamie, then is reabsorbed*
x_crowdofone: So, now what?

x_tarot: *Marie-Ange blinks for a few moments at the appearing, disappearing dupe, and then recovers.* I .. think that you let him out and I make him go away. I hope. I always had to see them to control them before."
x_tarot: "And I did not draw Dr. Mimeograph. Unless Faxman is Dr. Mimeograph, and then I think Ev has a great deal of explaining to give us."

x_crowdofone: Okay. *Jamie reaches into the bag and fishes around* C'mere, you . . . aha! *Jamie pulls Faxman out of the bag; the little guy is kicking Jamie's wrist energetically* Well, it was just a thought.

x_tarot: *Marie-Ange glares at the kicking superhero, and then sets her jaw for a second. The angry little projection blurs at the edges, and then fades away* "It was a good thought. If Faxman is Dr Mimeograph."

x_crowdofone: We'll have to ask Ev. *grin* And see, you made it go away no problem. Just kinda squishy, that's all. I bet it was just all the test stress, they got kinda wiggy.

x_tarot: "It was a lot of stress. Too many math questions that I did not know the answer to. I should not have probably worried, but it was a lot of tests." *She nods* "Wiggy means to run around and be crazy, yes? I heard it on the television when I was watching the other night."

x_crowdofone: Yeah, basically. I keep forgetting you don't know all the same slang I do. *grin* I know I felt like running around and being crazy after I finished those tests. Maybe you did too, and that's why Faxman was being so weird.

x_tarot: "The UPN channel and the cartoon Network .. and " *she mumbles the last one* Therealworld are helping with the slang words. And Piotr gave me a link to a site with a dictionary on it, and that is very helpful. I felt like my head was going to set on fire after those tests. I think I did not do bad, except in the math one. Math is not a good subject for me."

x_crowdofone: I'm not bad at it, but it takes me a while and I have to be really careful . . . and it's boring. Hey, did I see you were interested in that Myths and Culture class? I was looking at that.

x_tarot: "If I can take it, yes. We had a lot of history classes at home, but not any on culture or myths. And it would be interesting to see the culture for the rest of Europe, I only know France from the inside."

x_crowdofone: Well, I hope we both get into that one, it looks like fun. --We ought to go start getting ready for temple, though. I have to find my socks, anyway. And I think Ms. Frost's taking us to some special ice cream place after, maybe you could ask her about Faxman then.

x_tarot: *Marie-Ange nods, and starts to head back to her room* "I have to go put on something that is not all messed up from running like a crazy person also. And I will definitly ask Ms. Frost about Faxman."

x_crowdofone: She'll probably just sign you up for extra lessons until you've settled down whatever you need to settle down. See you later.

x_tarot: *waves*
