Benny Jones: *Benny quietly looks around as he makes his way to Michelle's apartment building and pauses a moment just outside before he moves to the buzzers and presses the button for Michelle's...

Michelle Morgan: She's sitting on her couch, watching television. She couldn't sleep tonight. Too much shit flying around her head. A flip through the channels, stopping in CNN. Something to get pissed at. Pissed is good.

Michelle Morgan: Her head jerks up at the buzzer, and she gets to her feet, setting the remote down. Over to the phone she goes, and she picks it up. "Hello?"

Benny Jones: (w)"It's Benny... Tansy's friend..."

Michelle Morgan: 4,1,10,

Michelle Morgan: "Benny..." She frowns for a moment. A friend of Tansy's? She shakes her head a minute. "Come on up, Benny." BZZZZT.

Benny Jones: *He moves to the door as it buzzes and steps in, then heads upto Michelle's apartment and knocks on the door...

Michelle Morgan: The door opens, and she looks ahead...then down to Benny. She looks tired...weary, more like. She gives a small smile. "Come on in. Can I get you some juice, water? Tea?"

Benny Jones: *He shakes his head slightly as he steps in...* (w)"I'm fine for a drink thankyou..." *He glance around slightly then looks back to her..* (w)"I can by to appologize for the other night..."

Michelle Morgan: "The other night..." She frowns a little, thinking. It's as much something else as it is the boy's Arcane...she seems slightly unfocused. "What happened?"

Benny Jones: *He tilts his head slightly, then wills himself to be remember by her..* (w)"In reguards to my mother..."

Michelle Morgan: Even then, it seems to take her a while, but finally she nods. "Oh, right. The spirit of your mother." She leads Benny away from the door after shutting it, over to the couches, and mutes the TV before taking a seat. "Don't feel too bad over it, Benny. It's a hard thing to accept. I know." She smiles faintly.

Benny Jones: *He shakes his head slightly..* (w)"I shouldnt have acted like I did when you wanted to check her.."

Michelle Morgan: "No, you shouldn't have." She shrugs a little. "But we all make mistakes, Benny. Accept your mistake, learn from it, and move on."

Benny Jones: *He nods slightly...* (w)"I have learnt from it..." *He pauses for a moment..* (w)"I'll have her checked.."

Michelle Morgan: She looks at him a long moment, and then nods. "All right. I'll contact someone with some skill with spirits, and we'll get her checked out. Unfortunately, that won't be me...but we'll find someone." She smiles faintly.

Benny Jones: *He nods slightly..* (w)"Thankyou..."

Michelle Morgan: "You're welcome." She leans back, watching Benny a moment. "So Benny. Tell me about yourself a little."

Benny Jones: (w)"There isnt really much to tell.. Other than being able to talk to spirits.."

Michelle Morgan: "How old are you?"

Benny Jones: (w)"Eleven."

Michelle Morgan: "And in eleven years, the only thing that you have to tell is that you can talk to spirits?" She smiles to him. "C'mon, there must be more then that."

Benny Jones: *He's quiet for a moment...* (w)"I can play the piccolo... I'm good at mathematics... I'm two years ahead of my year level..."

Michelle Morgan: "All right...now you're painting a picture." She nods. "Where did you learn to play the piccolo?"

Benny Jones: (w)"My mother started teaching me when I was ten.."

Michelle Morgan: "Would you mind playing something for me? I'm a musician myself, you know..."

Benny Jones: *He's quiet for a moment, then shakes his head slightly as he reaches into his backpack and pulls his piccolo out...* ((Do you need the desc of the piccolo?))

Michelle Morgan: ((Naah. *G*)) She leans back, watching him curiously, a bit of a smile on her face as she settles in on the couch.

Benny Jones: *He looks to her for a moment, then down to his piccolo again before he starts playing the melody his mother taught him...

Benny Jones: 2,3,5,5,9,3,

Michelle Morgan: She listens quietly as he plays, nodding a little to the tune, even if it's not the best playing ever. It's passable, and carries the tune.

Benny Jones: *His eyes close slightly as he plays, remembering the notes as he plays the melody, though not a long melody as he brings it to an end after a couple of minutes and opens his eyes once more, hint of sadness showing...

Michelle Morgan: "Not bad, Benny. Not bad at all." Her look toward his is grateful. "Thank you for playing for me. Now..." She leans forward a little, though not threatening. "Tell me about your magic."

Benny Jones: *He focuses onto her quiet for a moment..* (w)"I dont really know much about it... I can see into the spirit world.. and possibly Mind..."

Michelle Morgan: "How do you do it? See spirits, I mean. And affect minds."

Benny Jones: (w)"I am not really certain... I was playing my piccolo the other day and had closed my eyes while I was playing... When I had opened them when I had finished and found things had changed around me..." *He pauses* (w)"As to affecting minds.. I dont know, it was something that had happened when I was coming to NY."

Michelle Morgan: "How do you mean, things had changed around you?"

Benny Jones: (w)"I wasnt looking at a world that I would normally look at... and I could see my mother..."

Michelle Morgan: "You saw into the Dreaming...into the Spirit World."

Benny Jones: *He nods slightly...*

Michelle Morgan: He nods. "All right. And how about what happened while you were on your way here? What can you tell me about that?"

Benny Jones: *He looks down for a moment looking to his piccolo before looking up once more...* (w)"It was when I was hiding on a train... this guard was checking the carriages... I remember seeing him coming along and hoping he would just miss me in the last carriage and turn around and go back thinking he had done so. He was almost to the door to the carriage then he just stopped before he went back..."

Michelle Morgan: "I see." She forwns lightly, considering. "Benny, you've got the talent...I'm not the right person to teach you, though. I think, given time, I can find someone who can."

Benny Jones: *He nods slightly...

Michelle Morgan: He nod in return, and she smiles. "We'll get you through this, Benny. I promise. Now, is there anything else I can do for you?"

Benny Jones: 6,5,6,6,

Benny Jones: *He tilts his head slightly for a moment, then nods slightly...* (w)"Do you know anyone named Fausto or Steven..." ((Scratch the question if Benny cant actually remember those details about it, lol, I know he doesnt remember Paris who asked him))

Michelle Morgan: She frowns and shakes her head. "Those names aren't familiar to me, Benny, no. Why?"

Benny Jones: (w)"Someone was asking me about them..."

Michelle Morgan: "Sorry, Benny. Wish I could help you on that end..."

Benny Jones: *He nods slightly...* (w)"Thanks anyway..." *He puts his piccolo away once more..* (w)"I should be going..."

Michelle Morgan: She nods. "Of course. If you want some help continuing to learn to play your piccolo, let me know. I'll be happy to help."

Benny Jones: *He smiles slightly as he stands..* (w)"I will.."

Michelle Morgan: She stands, and heads with him to the door, to see him out. "Take care of yourself, Benny. I'll see you later."

Benny Jones: *He nods as he walks to the door and steps out, looking back to her...* (w)"And you... Bye..." *He heads off for home...

Michelle Morgan: She shuts the door behind him, and heads back to the couch. CNN calls...

Benny Jones: ((And that's that.. thanks for the RP))
