Ravyn: ((For my edification, repost the last posts for each of you, please.))

Snyde: "Ill see you in another life Avery" *he says as he turns towards the door his hand slipping into the jacket to pull the pistol*

Avery: She shakes her head and goes to step away from him. "I'm not feeling well......" and heads for the bathroom.

Avery: Blue steps between them growling. ((Both of those before that)

Snyde: ((Can I just for clarification and expedeincy say that Snyde isnt going to kill himself and that I am trying to go to bed))

Ravyn: ((Then we can pause this. But with things being as they are, there are two spiritual entities who are very closely connected to this situation who are going to get involved.))

Snyde: ((no we can go through it UK needs the scene finished so Avery dosent get stuck))

Avery: ((*sigh* I don't want my character to get stuck on pause for who knows how long either.))

Snyde: ((because the next time me and her schedules match are next saturday))

Ravyn: ((All right. Rolling Bad Luck Curse for Blue, who doesn't know that Snyde is bluffing.))

Ravyn: d10: Bad Luck Curse(WP): 5,6,4,9,

Ravyn: The dog glares up at Snyde, growling, staying between the Euthanatos and the bathroom door.

Snyde: ((So the dog is galreing up at his back right?))

Ravyn: ((Yes))

Snyde: ((because he isnt heading to the bathroom door he is heading to the door out))

Ravyn: ((I am aware.))

Snyde: *Snyde continues to make his way to the front door and opens it pistol in hand closeing the door behind him and sitting down on the porch stareing down at the pistol in his lap tears streaking from his eyes*

Snyde: ((ohh does the cures set off awareness?))

Ravyn: Blue waits until the door closes, and turns to head toward the bathroom.

As Snyde sits on the porch, he hears a voice come from next to him, someone standing. They weren't there before. "You, my friend, are a couple buffalo nickels short of a buck in the brains department." The voice sounds older, sort of a weathered tone to it, like Johnny Cash's.


Avery: She makes it part way to the bathroom when she hears the 'see you in another life part' holding her stomach tightly and just not able to move for the moment.

Ravyn: ((Yes, it does, being a spirit charm. My bad.))

Snyde: *He tunes out the voice being used to hearing them lately and sits there stareing down at the gun before saying a hail mary and as his finger trails along the pistol and moves to the inside pocket where he pulls out a flask of whiskey and takes a drink*

Snyde: d10: awareness: 2,4,8,7,8,8,

Ravyn: There's the flick of a lighter and a flash of light beside and over him. "Hey. I'm not a voice in your head, Michael. I'm real. Do an old guy the courtesy of realizing he's not a figment of your imagination, huh?" The man standing there is Native American, of an indeterminate age...somewhere over 40, possibly even 50. He's dressed in simple travelling clothes...a stonewashed jean shirt and matching pants, good sturdy hiking boots, and a black, brimmed hat. A small pack rests on his shoulder, and he leans against a six and a half-foot walking staff. There's a sense of wisdom in his eyes...something deep and very ancient there.

Snyde: *Snyde reaches the flask over to the supposibly real voice* "Allright then take a shot with me" *he says as he reaches to pull a smoke of his own setting the pistol down beside him* "because im a huge fuck up and hell I guess an invisible friend is just one more thing on the list of fuck ups" *he says as he lights the smoke*

Ravyn: Blue comes up to Avery and whines, looking up to her with a remarkably humanish worried expression in his eyes.

Avery: She whispers to him. "I'm waiting to hear the shot.....it's all my fault....." and with that she just sinks to the floor, half sitting, having dry heaves.

Ravyn: The man reaches out and takes the flask, sniffing at it. His nose wrinkles a bit. "'least you got good taste. 'course, I already knew that. Look what's in that place in there?" He takes a swig off the flask, holding onto it for now, and glances down at Snyde. "You gonna let this end things for you, and make you tuck tail and run...or you gonna try to make a better world like you seem to like yammering on about?"

Ravyn -> Avery: ~TP~ "No shot. His gun's going to jam." He sits next to Avery, looking up to her. ~TP~ "Johnny is talking to him right now."

Snyde: *he laughs a bit* "Look I love that woman in there I really do" *he says softly* "and at this point in time she is all that matters to m....." *he says as the words stop in his throat and he looks down at the gun and runs his fingers over it again* "im not sure if I can live without her, but if I do pull this trigger im just leaveing one more time. Well I got one so I might as well ask. How do you prove that things really will change to someone who loves you and you love them so completely" *he says as he takes a long drag off the smoke*

Avery -> Ravyn: ~TP~"Thank you....."

Ravyn: "You don't." He looks down to Snyde and frowns. "Or, rather, you don't. Not with the amount of screwin' around with her head that you've done, intentional or not. You realize she thinks you were gonna shoot yourself in front of her, an' thinks it's all her fault?"

Ravyn -> Avery: ~TP~ "You're welcome. It's not your fault."

Snyde: *The words catch his totally by surprise as he turns to move inside in a mad rush yelling* "Avery!!!"

Avery: She's on the floor part way to the bathroom, looking up at him, with a terrified look on her face.

Ravyn: The old man scowls and reaches out to grab Snyde by the shoulder and yank him back before he can get inside the house.

Snyde: ((Dex+brawl)

Avery: ((dlp the part of looking up at him then...but terrified look on her face))

Ravyn: d10: Dex+Brawl: 10,9,3,10,6,

Snyde: ((should I roll Dex+brawl or dex+dodge))

Snyde: d10: dex+brawl/dodge: 8,9,8,6,4,4,2,

Ravyn: ((It's the same die pool either way...if he's dodging, then Dodge. If he's blocking the grab, then Brawl.))

Snyde: ((Probably more of a dodge since he is just makeing a forward motion to get in the house twisting to avoid))

Ravyn: "Don't you dare go in there," the old man warns quietly.

Ravyn: Snyde manages to get past the old man's grab.

Snyde: *he turns and looks at the man* "Look she needs to know its not her fault and im okay oldtimer" *he says looking at the man* "and I need to be the one to tell her so please just poof away and let me deal with this allright thanks for the sound advice and all that shit but I understand" *he says as he turns to look back towards the door* "Im leaveing right after im done"

Ravyn: He frowns. "You screw her up worse from this, Michael, and you're not leaving at all. That's my girl in there. Y'hear?"

Snyde: *he dosent stop any further to listen he just moves through the door and kneels down as close to Avery as Blue will let him get before speaking softly* "Avery I love you, damnit I love you so much and I couldnt do it" *he says as he looks down* "I just could leave you again its not your fault none of its your fault I love you so much Avery"

Ravyn: Blue looks up as Snyde approaches and moves to get between them, looking up at him. There's a soft growl, but he doesn't keep Snyde from speaking, at least.

Avery: "Not now...not with Johnny here....when you leave...that will be the end...and still my fault. I can't save you," she says very quietly.

Snyde: ((could should be couldnt))

Snyde: *He shakes his head and looks at her* "No Avery no I cant do it I cant do it the dog and the...." *he looks at her for a moment* and the guy outside have nothing to do with it Avery I love you to much and you have saved me if it wasnt for you I would still be stupid and lost like I was when we met but now I cant take my own life because you still love me and with that there is still a chance" *he says as he looks at her tears steaming lightly down his face* "If you want ill leave my guns here with you but im not going to kill my self I want to see you again in this life to badly"

Avery: She shakes her head a little. "Why did you scare me so much? Give me the guns...."

Snyde: *He pulls the one pistol and hands it to her if Blue will let him* "The other one is still outside on the porch" *he says as he looks at her* "Avery I love you so much" *he says as he continues to cry* "and I cant leave you again no matter what ill be here I swear"

Avery: She puts her hand out for the gun, hand shaking.

Ravyn: The old man walks in, carrying the gun. He frowns at Snyde but says nothing for now, moving to take a lean against the wall, taking a drag off his smoke.

Snyde: *When he notices her hand shakeing he looks at her* "I love you Avery ill be right back with the other one" *he says as he stands up and moves out the door again to get the other pistol*

Snyde: ((DLP))

Snyde: *He looks at Avery after she takes the gun and notices Johnny with the other one* "im sorry Avery, the thought of loseing you is just a little much for me." *he says softly* "it just seemed easier to run from it again then actually do the right thing and stick it out and take a chance that I cant fix that maybe we can be together again" *he says as he runs his face*

Avery: "Hey Johnny....." she can't even smile to him at the moment, even though she looks happy to see him.

Ravyn: "Hey, kiddo." He gives Avery a small smile. The smoke from his cigarette, somehow, manages not to reach Avery.

Avery: "I.....I......" looking back to Snyde. "After all this....let's try this slowly again. You ask me out for a date....and we'll go from there."

Ravyn: Johnny raises an eyebrow to Avery's words, but says nothing. The gun is slide into his beltline and left there.

Snyde: *he nods to her* "And since I said I would leave after saying what I needed to say may I say good bye to you properly for once before I leave Avery its somthing I owe you" *he says as he moves to stand up looking at her*

Avery: "Yes....good bye, Michael."

Snyde: "Goodbye Avery I will call you soon" *he says as he turns to leave nodding to Johnny* "Thanks for the advice oldtimer will you please leave the pistol with her"

Ravyn: He gives Snyde a little shrug. "We'll see. You find her, you'll probably find me."

Avery: Her eyes water up a bit, making her blink to try and see through the haze.

Snyde: *he nods to the man before heading out the door turning slightly* "Im sorry Avery" *he says once more before disappearing out the door*

Snyde: ((Thanks for the scene))

Avery: ((Thank you too! Good night!))

Ravyn: ((See you, Dark. *S*))

Ravyn: He watches Snyde leave, and nods, sighing, once the door's shut. "Yep. A few buffalo nickles short of a buck. At LEAST."

Avery: She gets up, slowly, and a bit wobbly, and moves to him, wrapping her arms around him tightly, her body shaking.

Ravyn: The cigarette just goes out, and he enfolds her in her arms. "I know, kiddo." His voice is quiet, gentle even. "I know."

Avery: She looks up at him, blinking some. "I'm so sorry."

Ravyn: "What are you sorry about?" He smiles a little bit. "You done nothin' wrong."

Avery: "If I hadn't decided on the divorce none of this would have happened....he was going to kill himself. Still think he might....." she sighs softly.

Ravyn: "Hey." He fixes his gaze on hers. "You gotta take care of you, Avery. Michael's got his own mess o' things to worry about. But there's plenty-a folks who been broken up with that ain't put barrel to their heads. It's the end of you two...ain't the end of the world. And if he can't tell the difference 'tween the two, that ain't your fault. He just wasn't good on ya, you know?"

Avery: "I tried to tell him that.....just got my mind all messed up after awhile...." she gives him another hug, not letting go, "I need a joint really bad....."

Ravyn: "An' I'd happily give ya one...but you got someone else to worry about right now." He gives her a soft smile.

Avery: "I know...it's really bad for me...just smoking cigarettes and pot is my way running away from things. And my avatar has been letting me hear it lately too," she frowns.

Ravyn: He nods a little bit. "Yeah, I bet so. One of the advantages of bein' who I am. No lung cancer." He chuckles a little bit, before getting a touch more serious. "You'll be just fine, kiddo. I know you will. But you gotta start takin' care-a you as much as you wanna take care-a him."

Avery: "Yes....thank you," she gives him a small smile. "I'm gonna head to the Rez, probably next Monday...."

Ravyn: "That sounds like a plan," he says with a nod. "Bet they'd like to see ya."

Avery: "Feel free to look me up if you have the time. Perty puhlease?" and gives him a puppy dog eyes look.

Ravyn: "I'll be happy to." He smiles and nods, gently chucking her chin. "here...better leave this behind for Michael." The gun is slid out of his belt line. "He's gonna have to find new bullets, though. Them ain't gonna fire very well."

Avery: She laughs, and really does laugh when he says that, taking the gun. "This one too?" she asks holding up the one he gave her. "I'll take these with me I think. I should get back to my place."

Ravyn: "No, JUST this one, actually. Blue hit him, not his gun. Might wanna be careful next time he tries to pull a trigger." He winks a little.

Avery: "I'll be real careful then," she looks to Blue and smiles.

Ravyn: "Cool." He smiles and nods. "I better get on movin'. You take care, okay? I'll be around."

Avery: Carefully she hugs him while holding the guns. "Thanks for keeping me from doing something stupid myself....."

Ravyn: He smiles and hugs her back. "Don't worry about it none, kiddo. We all get stupid from time to time."

Avery -> Ravyn: ~TP~"I'm so ashamed to admit that at first I wanted to kill him....then myself....but besides pissing off my avatar, I would be killing my miracle."

Ravyn -> Avery: ~TP~ "Yeah...glad you didn't go with that plan. I know you love him, but believe me, kiddo. He ain't worth it."

Avery -> Ravyn: ~TP~"He scares me now. I'll go through with the date thing with him. Part of me hopes he falls through and just leaves me alone. But for now I'll help him. And in the meantime, I am considering letting Michelle know what happened too, in case something happens to me."

Ravyn -> Avery: He nods a little. ~TP~ "That's a plan. Keep Blue with you on your little shindig, too. He'll keep an eye on things."

Avery -> Ravyn: ~TP~"I plan to. I built him a sidecar on my cycle. But I'll be taking the jeep now. It's safer."

Ravyn -> Avery: ~TP~ "Perfect." He smiles. ~TP~ "I better get to steppin'...you need me, just call. Or flip a nickel. Might work, too." He winks a little bit. "Night, kiddo."

Avery -> Ravyn: ~TP~Keep that nickel with me all the time. Take care.

Ravyn: He smiles a bit and nods, hugging Avery again before he heads out the door.

Avery: She hugs him back before he goes and after getting dressed, heads to her apartment, with Blue, of course, and the guns.
