Anette (Later this evening):
(*dusts off the room*)
Michelle (Rauko): ((yea... so looong since
anything happened here *sighs for good old times here*))
Anette (Later this evening):
Let go! I hate you! *the little girl screams in
Michelle's face as the tears stream down her cheeks*
Michelle (Rauko): *She is rather tense by
now, hugging tightly to Anette, just as she gets in the elevator the moment it
reaches up and hits to go down* I don't... Anette... please *yes, actually
begging the girl to listen*
Anette (Later this evening):
Let me go! I don't want to go with you! *she
continues to scream up a storm*
Michelle (Rauko): *frowns, waitnig to be
down, focusing simply to keeping her sister close* it'll be fine... *softly*
I...we'lljust check yes?... you... you'll know if I told you right? you... we'll
let someone else check you, yes?
Michelle (Rauko): *still just trying to
sooth her*
Michelle (Rauko): ((ehck.. cel phone was
left on the floor *blinks as she just realices it* will it in lift or out lift
is what I am not sure))
Anette (Later this evening):
Let me go! *she kicks and flails her arms as she
sobs. She draws breaths fast and hard through her mouth as her nose is all
stuffed up now from crying*
Anette (Later this evening):
(I was under the impression she was on the phone
and holding Anette at the same time. It's not like she couldn't do both)
Aerin Thomas: The hybrid pulls up to the
K-R, and Aerin gets out, moving quickly. He's dressed in a solid Black T and
jeans underneath the trench coat. He slips into the K-R, nodding to the
doorman...he should recognize him, and hopefully they won't stop him as he moves
toward the elevator, to head to Michelle's room.
Michelle (Rauko): *closes her eyes
again, hugging to her, well trying to pull her arms near so the little girl
doens't get hurt hitting around, and just... starts to shhhh.. softly... while
the elevator goes down* ((and when it gets down and opes she'll get out))
Michelle (Rauko): ((ah cool then! =) .. I
wasn't sure when Anette started struggling and yelling))
Anette (Later this evening):
*when the door opens Aerin gets an eyeful of
Michelle struggling to hold onto her kicking and screaming little sister.
Ah..the joys of small children*
Michelle (Rauko): ((they are cute ;) when
they are not in a tantrum!))
Michelle (Rauko): *hurries out of the
door, still making shhh sounds to the little girl, she gave up trying to make
her listen, so at least sooth her, she is DEAD worry, clearly so as her odd eyes
actually look towards Aerin and then back to her little sister, she hurries out
the elevator*
Aerin Thomas: He opens up the door to the
apartment and moves in, shutting it behind him. "Anette...Michelle." His voice
calm yet clear, trying to cut over their shouting.
Michelle (Rauko): ((first door was lift
door))
Anette (Later this evening):
Let go! Let go! Let go!!!!!!! *she continues to
scream as if she has a never ending reserve of energy with which to do so*
Anette (Later this evening):
(I believe they're in the lobby now...to like meet
Aerin at the elevator...unless I have no clue what's going on...which is
possible)
Aerin Thomas: ((Door to the elevator,
sorry. :P))
Aerin Thomas: ((Okay, DLP and I'll
repost.))
Michelle (Rauko): *well she'll burt out
to Aering, still holding to the little kid* shesaid they'll be back
Michelle (Rauko): ((*snugz*))
Aerin Thomas: He pauses as the door to the
elevator opens, looking at them. "Anette...Michelle." His voice calm yet clear,
trying to cut over their shouting.
Anette (Later this evening):
*she continues to flail oblivious to Aerin's
arrival. She just wants to get loose and run away. She bites Michelle on the arm
again*
Michelle (Rauko): ((michelle isn't
shouting.. is trying to calm the little girl ;)) **hurries out of the door,
still making shhh sounds to the little girl, she gave up trying to make her
listen, so at least sooth her, she is DEAD worry, clearly so as her odd eyes
actually look towards Aerin and then back to her little sister, she hurries out
the elevator, and towards Aerin*
Aerin Thomas: He nods a little bit to
Michelle and then focuses on himself for a moment, calling up one of the
Goddess's Gifts to him.
Michelle (Rauko): *wincing as Anette bites
her yet again, hmming and shifting her so she can't reach her arm*
Aerin Thomas:
d10: Persuasion: 1,5,4,8,6,8,9,
Anette (Later this evening):
Put me down!! *she shouts again inbetween sobbing
gasps of breath*
Aerin Thomas: "Annette," he says, his voice
taking on a calm, soothing tone. He walks up to them, crouching to put him at
her level, smiling a little. "It's okay...you're with me. I'm here, and
everything's going to be fine, all right?" ((Rolling Cha+Emp to calm her.))
Aerin Thomas:
d10: Cha+Emp vs five: 2,4,9,1,4,4,6,
Michelle (Rauko): *Really?... she hugs her
tighly and slinks a bit down, Aerin is there, is safer... starts just trying to
calm her* shhh *rocking the girl faintly, but so NOT letting go*
Aerin Thomas: ((Un-fucking-believable.
*Winces and prays for power of Gift and it's Uber-effect on successes*))
Anette (Later this evening):
Shut up! You hate me too! *she screams at Aerin*
Let me go! Let me gooooo! *she continues to flail obviously not calmed by
Aerin's attempt at soothing her*
Michelle (Rauko): ((*giggles, and snugs*
is caue Aering harldy tries to convince little children ;) he needs practice))
Anette (Later this evening):
(can try again after a few posts...it's not like
Anette is going anywhere haha)
Aerin Thomas: "Anette...I do not hate you."
He frowns softly and reaches out to smooth his hand over her hair. "We're going
to get you somewhere safe, okay?"
Aerin Thomas: ((Yeah, I know. *G*))
Anette (Later this evening):
No! I'm not going! You just want to keep me locked
up so I don't have any friends! You hate me!! *she shouts as loud as the little
girl's tired vocal chords can muster*
Michelle (Rauko): *Swallows, still holding
onto her, murmuring to Aering as he is close* sheate candy
Aerin Thomas: "Lovely." He winces. "She
needs...Goddess dammit." A purse of his lips, and he looks to Anette. "Anette,
honey...we're just going to get you somewhere safe, just for a little while,
okay? I promise."
Anette (Later this evening):
Noooooo! Let me go! *she resumes her struggling her
tiny little nails scratching and clawing at Michelle's arms* Let me goooo!
Michelle (Rauko): (8ouch... THAt is SO
going to hurt later)) *lets out a little sound with her lips closed, pressing
them tight.. still she focues on holding onto her sister.... if so shifting
again, trying to get her little hands toguether and to her chest, so at least
she doesn't scratches... too still trying to aboid she hurting if she tries to
grab onto something esle, murmuring* Anette... calm down... please...*softly*
Aerin Thomas: "Michelle..." He moves to
take Anette from the girl, if she'll let him...he can handle her scratching and
clawing better. If she'll allow it, he takes her and pulls her into a
hug...holding her and not letting her get away, but not squeezing tight enough
to be uncomfortable. "Anette. Shhh...it's all right. Just calm down for me,
okay? Just for a minute, please?"
Anette (Later this evening):
Why do you hate me now...I didn't do anything
wrong..*she says a bit quieter now, her sobbing becoming a bit softer*
Michelle (Rauko): *she -will- let Aerin
hold her, just seeming a bit reluctant of letting him have the fullhand of
little tantrunic girl, fidgetings lightly*wihspers* I don't hate you Anette *by
now... making the effort not to rush the words*
Anette (Later this evening):
yes you do..*she says quietly to Michelle as she
wraps her tiny arms around Aerin's neck.*
Aerin Thomas: "Shhh....shhh..." Continuing
the soft, soothing sounds as he holds Anette to her, petting her back gently.
"You did nothing wrong, honey...we don't hate you...Michelle doesn't, and
neither do I."
Michelle (Rauko): *she frowns, shrking
faintly her shouders* Idon't *murmured, feeling rather helpless and worried by
now*
Anette (Later this evening):
You want to keep me locked up...so I can't have
friends...*she sobs quietly* Alecia...she wanted to be my friend but you hate
her too
Aerin Thomas: He looks to Michelle and
gestures with his head toward the doors. They are NOT staying here tonight.
Michelle (Rauko): *nods, and starts
heading out, quietly, just keeping peering to her little sister in worry*
Aerin Thomas: He rises, an arm coming
around to easily support Anette as he takes her out of the K-R, toward the car.
Anette (Later this evening):
It was just candy...*she sobs quietly*
Michelle (Rauko): *she follows after him
and her sister, quietly*
Aerin Thomas: "Shhh..." He pets her hair as
they get toward the car. He supports her with one arm for just a second as he
fishes his keys out, gets the auto-locks open, and then moves to get Anette into
the back seat.
Michelle (Rauko): *And then she stops,
frowning, looking to Aerin a moment* I..the wrapper *signaling the building...*
I'll takeafewof herthingstoo *making for coming back*
Anette (Later this evening):
*she doesn't protest, her tantrum seems to have
worn her out, at least for the moment*
Aerin Thomas: He looks to Michelle and nods
as he puts the seat back. Ahh, two-doors...gotta love them for keeping people
from leaping out when you don't want them to. "Go ahead. I'll stay here with
her. If there's anything up there, call me, okay?"
Michelle (Rauko): *she nods, quickly to
him, peering again to her little sister, before hurrying on up to the aparment
the wrapper and her sister things*
Anette (Later this evening):
*Anette sits quietly in the back seat of the car
now just sniffling a bit and wiping her nose with her sleeves*
Aerin Thomas: He lets Michelle run up, and
then turns to look at Anette, smiling warmly. "It's okay, hon. We're here for
you...I promise." Sensing her out as he does.
Aerin Thomas:
d10: Sensey Wyrmy: 6,7,8,9,4,
Anette (Later this evening):
(no taint)
Aerin Thomas: He relaxes a little
bit...good sign.
Anette (Later this evening):
~Anette being a child..but not a slob..the first
place Michelle thinks to look for the wrapper is in the trash can~
Michelle (Rauko): *so there she goes see,
the trash cans in the rooms and kitchen* ((ew.. and bathroom))
Anette (Later this evening):
~at the top of the trash in the kitchen Michelle
finds something surprising. It's not the blue wrapper that they had found in the
playground the other day. It's shiney foil gold...across the front the label
reads "Snickers"~
Michelle (Rauko): ((hmmm *eyes KF*))
*blinks, taking it and to her pocket... she'll till check for anything esle
extrange in the cans or around though*
Anette (Later this evening):
~she finds nothing else out of place...although for
just an instant...she can almost hear Alecia's dark laughter echoing through the
empty apartment~
Michelle (Rauko): *Frowns, looking quickly
around at that.... and hurries to take things for Anette. change of clothes
pijamas tooth brush and few of her toys and plug them in a baggie... then hurry
down*
Aerin Thomas: He waits outside, patiently,
green eyes shooting up and down the street. Ready for anything.
Michelle (Rauko): *she'll hust hurry
with the things down and back to Aerin's car*
Anette (Later this evening):
*Anette peers out the window when she spots
Michelle. The little girl is tired now, it's late, and she's expended a lot of
energy. She looks as if she can barely keep her eyes open*
Michelle (Rauko): *she is still visibly
worried, hugging tightly to the bag with her sister things, she does look to her
worriedly, and comes near Aerin, swallowing, showing him the snickers wrapping*
I... theydind't... giveit toher... I...Iheardher...laughing
Michelle (Rauko): (('snickers' gold thing
rather))
Anette (Later this evening):
(it's the wrapper from a fun size)
Aerin Thomas: He takes the Snickers wrapper
and frowns, then sticks it in his pocket. "All right. Let's get you somewhere
safe. He directs her to get into the car and moves to head off.
Michelle (Rauko): ((Fun size?)) *she nods,
moving to get in the car and sit, somewhat confused, and somewhat scared stil
and worried* ((And quite biten and scrateched .. hmm))
Aerin Thomas: ((A small one, Michelle.))
Aerin Thomas: And he heads off for a hotel,
calling Bliss on the way to tell them he won't be coming home.
Michelle (Rauko): ((ah *nods* thanks))
Michelle (Rauko): *she keeps very quiet,
constantly looking over to her sister, in worry. She REALLY thought the KR was
the safest place*
Anette (Later this evening):
(that's what ya get for messin with Magadon! hehehe)
Michelle (Rauko): ((*sniffles* they aaare
eeevil*))
Anette (Later this evening):
(wait till Ethan meets the First team when he's out
pushing Aerin's kid in the stroller...wait...did I say that out loud...please
disregard)
Michelle (Rauko): ((*blinks at KF* hei!))
Aerin Thomas: ((*Shoots KF* *G*)) And after
the phone call with Bliss, he changes his mind and heads out to a cabin Bliss
maintains outside the city instead.
Anette (Later this evening):
(I believe we're wrapped here as far as I'm
concerned. Post on the Forum what they end up doing with lil Anette. Thanks for
playin)
Michelle (Rauko): *Swallows and peers to
Aerin, then back to her sister, unsure what if to say something, mostly and over
all just worried*
Michelle (Rauko): ((*snugz tightly the KF*
thanko!))
Aerin Thomas: ((Thanks, KF. *S*))
