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*))
