Mo~oorni~ing! <3 (for everyone)

[jahierasaladin]

Fun fact about Jahi, well other than the fact she found puppies creepy...yeah, long story behind that, but moving on. Fun fact:

Jahiera was a morning person through and through, no coffee needed, no more than 3 hours sleep the night before needed either, the moment her eyes sprung open, she was awake and firin' on ALL cylinders.

It was a nice and early six a.m. and there were sounds of a rather domestic nature coming from the kitchen. Sounds of stuff sizzling away, smells of an amazing work in progress, and if anyone walked to the kitchen. They'd be greeted with a cheerful "mo~oorning!" and a quick question of "cereal, fry up, or vegie?".

Cereals get pointed to the kitchen island, with a stack of bowls, jug of milk and a box of cereal. Fry ups get a plate of toast, bacon, and eggs. Vegies get toast, some cheese, and a light salad. Coffee, tea, and fruit juice are all available and Jahi is busy drinking water...yup, no coffee needed for the perky egyptian.

Plopping down next to the nearest Scion after it was all said and done, she asks, "So...plans for the day?"

[Ren Panganiban]

Ren, who had camped out on the couch since the night before, looked up when he heard someone getting up. It was 6 in the morning - far too early for anyone to be doing anything but sleeping, unless they had to. But, lo and behold, Ren was proven wrong when a startlingly awake Jahiera practically waltzed into the kitchen. The sounds of food being made - real food and not the junk he shoveled into himself for energy - perked the Filipino up. Well, more up than he was already. After a few disastrous wake-ups thanks to Hank's early morning routine, Ren had gotten used to getting ready before 6am if he was already awake. He shut down his laptop, grabbing it around the middle as he made his way to the kitchen.

"Mornin'," he replied to the Egyptian's far more cheerful voice. He mumbled a small "cereal" before heading to where the girl was pointing. If mead was the ambrosia of the gods, then Frosted Flakes had to be the ambrosia of insomniac Scions. Just the right amount of sugar. That plus a strong cup of coffee, and Ren would be ready for anything life (or Fate, rather) could through at him.

He hoped.

"So...plans for the day?"

Ren shrugged. "Same ol', I guess. I have to finish up a problem set, and then maybe I'll go outside." With a small smile, he looked at Jahiera. "What about you, Jahiera?"

[Gabriella Velas]

Gabriella got up at 4am and headed outside for her work out. Stretches, a run, and some tumbling made for a good 2 hours of solid training....something she couldn't always do at home in the city. Happy with her workout she heads to her room to shower (turning her coffee maker on) and change (wearing a red corset and jeans www.calgarycostume.ca/sexyadult/red%20corset.jpg). Gabby summons Tepini and heads to the common room with her iPad around 6:45.

"Morning guys."

[jahierasaladin]

"Me?" Jahi made a show humming as she chewed on her scrambled eggs, "It's Sunday, so I'll be heading to the Archery Range...Bob's got some new bows I just wanna try out."

Looking up at Gabriella as she walked in, Jahi started giggling, "Morning to you too you tease." She pointed at the kitchen island in the kitchen which had the food she prepared, "By the way, thanks for helping me with the grocery shopping."

It was then a certain white cat flowed out of her room with Sadie and stretched with a wide yawn. Walking past the other scions, Miyet calmly sat in front of the fridge, and waited.

[davejonesdan]

Dave walked in the room open the fridge, got out a bottle of beer, bacon, saussages and eggs before swiching on the hob and beginging to make him self breakfast (a bacon, saussage and egg sandwhich on
toast)

"Hows it going" he says putting some toast on the grill "anyone any plans for the day, cos I plan to go exploring!!"

[Alex Efasteyo]

As Alex meanders into the kitchen, he looks like he's not all there. When Jahiera greets him and ask about breakfast he says "Mornin' Jahiera. Um, is there something wrong with having all three?"

If Miyet is still looking at the fridge when Alex stumbles in, Alex will absent mindedly get out a saucer and fill it full of milk for Miyet.

He then adds, "Mornin' Gabriella. Mornin' Ren. Mornin' Dave. How is everyone doing this morning?"

Whatever the reply from Jahiera about breakfast, Alex will put together a huge breakfast.

When asked his plans for the day, Alex says, "No real plans, gotta think some stuff over."

To anyone who asks how he is doing/how he is/etc., the reply is "Check back with me later, I really need to talk to Dr. Lord."

"Um, erhm, um, Gabriella, aren't you cold?"

[Gabriella Velas]

"I'm inside so that would be a no." as she smiles at Alex.

[Alex Efasteyo]

Alex turns slightly red, nods at Gabriella, and turns most of his attention towards his breakfast.

[Gabriella Velas]

Winks at Jahi.

"I mean is there something wrong with what I'm wearing?" raising an eyebrow at Alex.

[Alex Efasteyo]

As Alex turns more and more red, he twitches his neck and rolls his shoulders like he's loosening up for a fight. Eventually he says, "No, Gabriella. Your taste in clothing is impeccable, and you make that corset look great. It's just not something I normally see, and, um, it makes me a bit flustered. I'm also very confused about the Titanspawn situation and until I talk to Dr. Lord I'm afraid certain types of things may rattle me more than they should."

With that long speech out of the way, and glowing a bright red, Alex resolutely fixes his eyes upon his meal and starts shoveling food into his face quickly.

[Gabriella Velas]

Shoots a look of concern at Alex.

"What's wrong Alex?"

[Alex Efasteyo]

Alex's eating speed slows as his flush recedes. Alex absent-mindedly scratches the top of his head and then tugs briefly on a lock of his hair. "Gabriella, it's kind of like my whole world turned upside down - again - though not so bad as during my Visitation. I don't know about the rest of you, but I was totally ignorant about the reality of the Gods/Titans/etc. before my Visitation. Also at that time, the only girlfriend I ever had was killed by Titanspawn. Several other friends were also killed or injured in the attack. The whole idea that the Greek Gods, Titans, and other pantheons being real - well, it was mind blowing. Hephaestus didn't explain much before the attack happened, just the really bare bones of things. I think he talked to me a lot afterwards, but I was in shock and I honestly don't recall very much after the fight was over. I imagine others of you might have had even more unsettling things happen to them, but that night was really like my whole life got turned upside down."

Alex pauses to drain a large glass of orange juice, then continues, "So for the last 10 months I've been thinking that all I have to do if find Titanspawn and kill them or find Titans and imprison them. In hindsight I should have realized nothing is that simple. I thought my parents brought me up with a pretty good idea of what's right and wrong. But then I did some checking on everyone's divine parents. Lionel's dad is Nagal, and he sure doesn't fit my idea of a good guy. And, no offense meant Gabriella, but I'd be putting your dad as someone more in the naughty than nice category too. Apparently a lot of Gods, the good guys, are worse than your typical criminals. Again, I should have known this from taking Greek mythology back in school...but it didn't sink in until yesterday."

"I stupidly, and wrongly, blew up at Ren. I'm busy shouting how all Titanspawn are evil and the dwarf we're trying to help tells me that dwarfs are Titanspawn. So not only do we have Gods that are jerks, but Titanspawn can be good, neutral, or bad. After 10 months of an idea fixed in my head, it's a shock when I learned how wrong I was. Worse, considering the behavior standards of mortals is apparently a poor yardstick to measure the behavior of supernatural creatures, I have no idea who are good guys, usually good guys, bad guys, usually bad guys, etc. While it seems likely all of this would eventually sort itself out in my mind, I am not sure the Titanspawn will allow me that luxury. So I am really hoping Dr. Lord can tell me something so I can have a better idea of what side the various players are on."

[jahierasaladin]

Jahiera had stayed quiet through out the interaction between the two, until she finally decided to speak up.

"It's not so much that Titanspawn are evil," she said, remembering something that her Mother taught her when they had the day together back in London. "All Titanspawn are linked to the Titan that created them and since Titans are beings that want to rip apart reality...so do their spawn."

[Gabriella Velas]

Walks over and places a hand on Alex' shoulder.
"I can't speak for the others but when my father came to me I was in the middle of a lot of heavy things..."
Gabby takes a very deep breath (hand still on his shoulder standing behind him)...
"I was trying for the third time to kill myself." she says quietly "I would have succeeded had he not stepped in."
Gabby turns to start walking out of the room.

[jahierasaladin]

Jahi's eyes widened a little before she suddenly stood up, "I gotta get going..." Flashing a winsome smile at the guys eating, "Do clean up will ya?"

With that she runs after Gabs.

[davejonesdan]

"well at the end of the day isn't it who you are that makes you evil?" Dave asks "after all a scion killed my parents, and scions are 'good' yet a dwarf who is a titen spawn didn't kill us?" Dave takes a huge bite out of his sandwhich

"either way we have very nasty bears around, and we are probibly going to need some back up if we are going to the main cave, or at least some training"

[Alex Efasteyo]

Alex turns big puppy dog eyes on Gabriella. "I, uh, I didn't know. Maybe we can...talk...about this...or other things, I mean I do have some stuff I've really been wanting to talk to you about."

I glance quickly at Jahiera, Ren, and Dave. "Don't worry about the dishes everyone, I'll wash them all a little later. Priorities. And thanks to all of you for the advice."

With that Alex leaves the table and moves toward Gabriella, looking questioningly at her.

[Gabriella Velas]

Gabriella turns to Jahi and Alex, "What do you want to talk about?"

[Alex Efasteyo]

"Several things, Gabriella, and something with you too, Jahiera. Maybe we could take a walk and enjoy the fresh air."

With that Gabriella, Jahiera, and Alex head out for a stroll.

[Alex Efasteyo]

Alex returns a while later and looks at the dirty dishes in disgust. "Oh well, what did I expect, that they would wash themselves?" he says as he goes about washing the dishes, wiping down the counters, etc. and generally making sure everything is all clean for the next person who comes in to use the kitchen.
