Session Start: Fri Jun 27 1997
*** Joins: Simon
* Simon enters Camelot...tear streaming down his face and walks directly toward the stairs.
<Simon> <no guard following him>
* Simon bolts up the stair, a desparate and far off look in his eyes.
<LadyElspeth> what in blue blazes?
* Jeran slowly walks toward the bar, looking over her shoulder occasionaly.
* Simon doesn't run, but is quickly deliberate with his steps. He mounts the second set of stairs, know what he has to do...knows what he has done...to the bad man...and now to Herman. Poor Herman.
* Simon wipes the tears from his eyes as he walks up the second staircase...wondering which door to go into.
* cloak_ walks in whistling an old elven tune
* Jeran walks over to the bar, and grabs a goblet of water, and sits down quietly, waves to cloak
* Simon walks around for a bit before finding the door marked "Tower" and takes a deep breath before entering that door and closing it behind himself.
<cloak_> what's up?
<LadyElspeth> Wenn...
<LadyElspeth> Wenn!
* Wenndolyne comes running into the firehall... having been at Wolf's Keep briefly with Simon
<Wenndolyne> Where is he?!
<Wenndolyne> Where is Simon??
<LadyElspeth> He went upstairs...I heard his thoughts from the tower.
<cloak_> I think he went up stairs? why?
<LadyElspeth> Something is very wrong.
<cloak_> then lets go find em
* Wenndolyne runs to the stairs calling back... "Something happened... He may do something... Oh NO he can't!"
* cloak_ follows Wenn
* Wenndolyne climbs the stairs calling to Simon
<Wenndolyne> Simon... no, little one... please!
<cloak_> Simon?! Simon? 'ey kiddo! Where are ye?
<Simon> <whimper whimper>
<Wenndolyne> The Tower... I have no idea how to get to the tower...
<cloak_> hmph
<cloak_> anyone know telepathy maybe? mine is shot
* Jeran walks over to cloak and Lady Elspeth, wonders what is going on
* Wenndolyne wanders about and sees the door to the tower
<cloak_> I don't know what's going on Jeran, but if a friend's involved I help, no questions asked
* cloak_ follows Wenn
<Simon> <whimper whimper>
* Wenndolyne tries it but cannot get the door to open
* Jeran wants to have friends, and is a good little elfling, so she will help
<Simon> <whimper whimper from the other side of the door>
* Wenndolyne pounds on the door "Simon?! Please... let me in!"
* Wenndolyne stops a minute and hears his whimpering
<cloak_> hmm
* Wenndolyne tries the door again
<cloak_> Come on Simon! what's wrong?!
* Wenndolyne calms her voice with great effort "Simon... please..."
* Simon starts to cry loudly on the other side of the door, the night air beginning to blow past his face, "Stay away!"
* LadyElspeth picks up her skirts and goes outside.
<cloak_> You know I won't stay away Simon, I'm a pest
<cloak_> I'm registered you know
<Wenndolyne> I cannot, little one... I cannot let you go
* Simon looks down to see LE walk outside...and turns away, "LEAVE ME ALONE!!"
* LadyElspeth looks up to the tower.
<LadyElspeth> I will not.
<cloak_> Simon, why are you doing this?
* Jeran looks at the door, wonders if it is locked
<Wenndolyne> ((I have no idea if is it locked... didn't even know there was a tower or a door til just now))
<cloak_> I'll scale the tower from the outside if you don't let me in
<Simon> <a light whirls from Simon's chest and flies around him, knocking down plants from high a top the tower to crash down on the ground next to LE>
<cloak_> Simon!
<Simon> NO!
* LadyElspeth digs in her bag and pulls out the ring Aunt Morri gave her.
* LadyElspeth glows faintly.
* Wenndolyne fights against the door and finally it swings open
* Simon falls to his knees
* Jeran runs after Wenndolyne
* Wenndolyne starts to run to Simon but stops when she sees the flash of light coming from him
* cloak_ joins the other three
* Simon looks up at the others, the light still whirling about, "STAY AWAY!"
<Wenndolyne> Wait... stop everyone please... wait here
* cloak_ looks indignant.. " why?" [SOUND]
<Wenndolyne> Wenndolyne wraps her fingers tightly around the wolf pendant that hangs about her neck. In only a moment, silvery blue light encases her protectively.
* LadyElspeth concentrates hard...
<LadyElspeth> *Simon*
* Simon cries...a lonely cry..."Come back, please." <talking to the light...not the people>
* Wenndolyne cautiously approaches Simon
<cloak_> woh Wenn
<cloak_> hold uno momento
* Jeran wishes she had magic
* Wenndolyne looks back to cloak
<Simon> <the whirling light knocks against Wenn, jolting her, but not hurting her.>
<Wenndolyne> Ack!
<cloak_> I told you
* Wenndolyne lands on her ... well... seat
<Simon> Please come back... <again to the light>
* cloak_ helps Wenn up
<Simon> **the light begins to slow and settles above Simon**
<Wenndolyne> Thanks cloak... now what?
* Jeran stands behind cloak and Wenndolyne
* LadyElspeth gives up and goes back into the hall.
<cloak_> watch
* LadyElspeth reenters the hall, shaking her head.
* Wenndolyne watches Simon and the light
<LadyElspeth> something very wrong there, very wrong.
* Simon whispers weakly, "Come back...come on..."
* cloak_ sits on the floor and waits
<Simon> <the light begins to whirl around a bit more..then settle on Simon again and disappears.>
* Simon begins to cry loudly.
<Wenndolyne> Oh Simon...
* Wenndolyne wants to run to him but is afraid too
<cloak_> now you may go, Wenn
* Wenndolyne goes with haste at cloak's word
<cloak_> scare me half ta death bolting in here like that
* Simon curls up in a ball on the floor (er...roof?) of the tower, sobbing
* Wenndolyne scoops Simon up "Is this okay?"
* Simon shiver, not saying a word...his eyes are wide and distant.
* cloak_ stands up, shoves her hands in her pants pockets and walks back down the stairs, " he's in good hands now. "
* Wenndolyne sits huddled in the floor with Simon in her lap
* Simon is silent...staring at nothing at all.
* cloak_ limps back to her chair and sits down
<cloak_> ( you guys are going to catch a cold up there )
<Wenndolyne> So how are you now... Simon? What happened?
<Wenndolyne> Or you can wait...
<Wenndolyne> and tell me later
* Wenndolyne brushes his hair with her fingers
* Simon is silent for a moment then focuses on Wenn, "Herman?"
<Wenndolyne> He is fine
* Wenndolyne smiles to him
<Wenndolyne> I left him in the keep with a tankard of ale
<Wenndolyne> He shall recover nicely
<Wenndolyne> though I think you may get a different guard
* Simon closes his eyes as a tear rolls down his cheek.
* Wenndolyne wipes away a few tears..."I know you thought it happened again... but it didn't, not that bad"
* Simon starts to shiver as rain begins to fall on them, not looking in Wenn's eyes.
<Wenndolyne> It would appear that you have learned some measure of control, Simon
<Simon> ((Begging is more like it....hehehe))
* cloak_ calls up the stairs, " hey ye young wipper snappers, ye gonna catch cold up there! "
* cloak_ chuckles
<Wenndolyne> It would also appear that we may drown up here... think we should go back in now?
* Simon nods weakly and stands even weaker...walking toward the door.
* Wenndolyne takes Simon's hand and they go back inside
* Simon speaks softly, "Do you think Daddy would mind if I just stayed up here...in a room for the night?"
<Wenndolyne> I doubt he would object
<Wenndolyne> Let's see if we can find a vacant room
* Simon looks around, not really knowing this part of Camelot.
* Wenndolyne never knew there was a tower or stairs or rooms sheesh
* cloak_ sits in her chair indian style.. bandages showing from under her sleeves.. you can hear her half mumbling about healers and feeling like a walking mummy
<cloak_> ( gee Wenn, they keep you locked in the basement all this time? )
*** Quits: cloak_ (Client exited.)
<Wenndolyne> ((that'll teach you to pick on me cloak :) flash your gone))
<Wenndolyne> ((hehehe))
<Simon> ((LOL))
*** Joins: cloak_
<cloak_> doh! make one wisecrack and the thing boot ya
<Wenndolyne> This room should do Simon
<Wenndolyne> ((actually I think cloak decided to make one smart alec parting remark before she left on her own))
<Wenndolyne> ((oops she's baaaack hehehe))
* Simon opens a door, the room is filled with dresses, must be Lance's room, then walk to the one Wenn is pointing out and walks in.
<Wenndolyne> ((LOL))
<cloak_> ( very good Wenn.. I proclaim thee Captian Obvious! )
<cloak_> ( lol Simon! )
* Simon looks at Captian Obvious...er...Wenn and says, "This is bad...huh?"
* Wenndolyne playfully thwacks cloak_ with a wet noodle.
*** cloak_ is now known as cloak_afk
<cloak_afk> :P pttttthhhh... afk
<Wenndolyne> You wanna get thwacked too Simon?
<Wenndolyne> :)
* Simon shakes his head. "No, Capt'n."
<Wenndolyne> This room is not as nice as your cabin on board ship... but it will do, will it not?
* Simon nods quietly..."Good night" <and shuts the door...leaving Wenn alone in the hall>
<Wenndolyne> Thanks, much
<Simon> ((knock if ya want.))
* Wenndolyne calls to Simon through the door.. "Don't you want me to tuck you in or tell you a story?"
*** cloak_afk is now known as cloak_
<Simon> If ya want to...<quietly>
* Wenndolyne grins and slowly opens the door
* Simon is lying in the corner, near the closet...
* Simon doesn't smile, but does take the blanket and curls up warmly in it...looking up at Wenn's face
<Wenndolyne> Oh, little one...
* Wenndolyne scoops him up
* Wenndolyne sighs.. no joy here... and begins to tell Simon a bedtime story
<Wenndolyne> Once upon a time there was an evil typist who thought up tricky things to do to other typists while they were cooking dinner....
* cloak_ leans farther back in her chair, too far! as usual, and the chair slips out from under her, and she soon finds herself on the floor. .5*thud!*
* Simon pulls the covers up to his nose and watches Wenn from there...hearing her story, but not really listening to it.
* Simon blinks
<cloak_> darn 3 legged chairs
<Simon> ((lol cloak...good tension relief.))
<cloak_> ( that's me! comedy relief, until I get into trouble.. as always.. )
<cloak_> ( how many bets if I get to the quest I'll be the first one to be attacked by something silly? )
* Wenndolyne continues her story explaining that a typist is a totally made up thing and Simon should not fear these creatures
* Simon watches Wenn tell her story, thinkin' how close he came to hurting her...how he has to do something about this...
* cloak_ kicks her chair back up and sits in another one
<Wenndolyne> ((like what? finish Wenn off? :) ))
<Simon> ((Har har har.))
* Simon closes his eyes, knowing that this is what Wenn is waiting for.
* cloak_ wonders if she's at least fallen out of every one of the chairs in camelot
<Wenndolyne> ((lol))
* cloak_ finds her self on the floor again, chair tipped over..
<cloak_> guess I was wrong.. one last one
<cloak_> good thing I sit in trees better than I sit in chairs
* Simon starts to think, his eyes closed, about what to do...how to stop himself from doing this ever again.
* Wenndolyne whispers to Simon "Worry not... there is a way to control this... we will find it"
* Simon is breathing at a steady pace and his eyelids are flickering...could it be sleep?
* Wenndolyne sees Simon drift off, leans to kiss him on the forehead and quietly closes the door on her way out
* Wenndolyne is worn out too... she slips down the stairs and out before she can even be noticed
