[RP] The Inn of Peace - IoP (Open to all)

[Pure Moriko]

Moriko dropped the act, 1)MacPere wasn't going to fall for it and 2)he had just said the wrong thing. "I'm very sorry that Arachne scared you," Moriko began, trying to keep her voice calm and polite, "but that doesn't warrant that you call HER an 'it' or a 'thing'. She is just as much an individual as you are. How would you like it if I could YOU an 'it' or a 'thing'?"  

[MacPere]

"You think I haven't?! You think this tail earns me respect?! I must have been called an 'it' or a 'thing' more than that bloody... thing!"

Feeling Gren's hand, MacPere looked to him and didn't break the gaze until his breathing had slowed. He dropped the chair in its rightful position and looked to Moriko with stern, yet apologetic eyes.

"... Look. I just really... Really do not like spiders."  

[The Legendary Knightsoul]

"On that note, I think I'll retire for the evening. Angeles, Gren MacPere, always a pleasure. Moriko, it was lovely to meet you. I hope to see you again." He walked towards the stairs before turning back to the group and saying "Pleasant dreams, dear friends." He walked out of sight.

((I'm out. It getting late for me. Be back tomorrow.))  

[Gren_Eckener]

Gren sighed with relief. They weren't out of the woods yet, but at least the yelling had stopped. He squeezed the forearm in his hand a little.  

[Pure Moriko]

Moriko was shocked at what MacPere had said but, unlike her sister, she wasn't one to humiliatingly say sorry. She remained tall, trying to calm her nerves, they were still on the verge of exploding, especially with MacPere's last word. She breathed in and out a number of times with her eyes closed. She focused on the trees outside of the inn.

She decided to start with Arachne. "Arachne, go upstairs into a room and review what we've found today," Moriko ordered with her eyes still closed, "Tatsu, follow Arachne and help her out." Tatsu and Arachne nodded, and immediately went upstairs to do as she said. Moriko barely ordered them to do anything, when she did, she meant it.

Moriko opened her eyes and focused them on MacPere. "I won't say sorry for bursting out as I did," she started, "However, I will say sorry for bursting out without understanding your position and," Moriko paused and looked genuinely hurt, "the effect that your tail has had on your life. From now on, I'll try my best to keep Arachne away from the inn, just in case you're here. Nonetheless, I will once again, this time politely, ask that you call neither Arachne nor Tatsu an 'it' or anything of that sort," she tried to smile, "I would say that in return I won't call you 'it', but the truth is that I probably won't whether or not you do as I ask."


(OOC: Good night Knight)  

[The Artist Rose]

Rose had spent the past few days avoiding people the best she could. She was still embarrassed for thinking the pillow was a bird. But then she heard Macpere yelling and swearing, and as that seemed contrary to his usual temerment, Rose decided to investigate. As she came down the stairs two creatures she didn't recognize went past her. She didn't mind, she was used to being around familiars and other animals.

"Macpere, are you alright? I heard you yelling." She asked from the doorway.  

[Angeles Valentine]

Angles walked over to MacPere and whispered to Gren, "hold him for a moment, make sure he doesn't fall," She tilted MacPere's chin up and locked her eyes with his, "calm down, rest for a bit," she said hypnotizing him to be calm. She then released him and walked away towards the stairs, "well, that's enough excitement for me for one day," she said and headed upstairs to her room. She turned and looked at Moriko in the eye as and said, "oh and, you calm yourself as well."

With that Angeles disappeared for the night.

((sorry to leave suddenly guys... one of my dogs just died... so I'll talk to you tomorrow... have a good night, all of you....))  

[Gren_Eckener]

After Angeles left, he decided to speak up.
"Now...hold on there. I understand why you're both mad, but please listen.

"Moriko, he's only speaking that way because he's frightened, and just had your spider friend on his head, fell out of his chair, and scalded with hot tea. He's not going to be thinking of manners, and I'd like you to forgive him that.

"Eli, you've got every right to be mad, but take a moment to breathe. Go clean up...you'll feel a bit better after that, and then we can talk about this like adults."

(OH NO! I'm so sorry...)

(Could we wrap this up? I'm dozing off...)  

[MacPere]

MacPere sighed and nodded. "Yes, yes, agreed."

He grumbled under his breath as he stripped his waistcoat and shirt, observing them from a slightly wobbly arms-length, ignoring the minor scolds to his face and chest. "I really do hope Zulma has a washing machine..." He proceeded to the utility room and threw them into the machine, turning it on and sitting against the adjacent wall, knees up with his head resting on them.

Juvenile... That is what he felt like. A small, stupid child, ignored by his father for a genetic defect. He didn't feel as though he over-reacted and yet... It seemed logical. He would just spend the night in here, waiting for his clothes to finish. It is what he deserved, after all.

(My apologies Angeles...)

(A-Aw, Gren <3)  

[Pure Moriko]

(OOC: Good night Angeles. I hope you're alright.)  

[Gren_Eckener]

After MacPere left the room, Gren stood the chairs back upright, and cleaned up the tea. with a sad smile to Moriko, he said "I would love to meet your friends under better circumstances...but I think I'm needed. Please tell Rose that there's nothing wrong."

With that he found his way to the laundry room, poking his head in. Seeing MacPere leaning, he could tell he needed some quiet time, so he waited quietly outside the door.  

[MacPere]

Eventually deciding that it was too cold to sit in there all night, topless, MacPere stood and walked out of the door, running his fingers through and shaking out his hair. He glanced to Gren and frowned, looking back to the ground.

"I apologise if I overreacted, but that girl has no control over her animals. Perhaps... she needs to keep them on a leash or something."

MacPere kissed Gren's cheek and pulled a sheepish smile.

"Are... we going to bed?"  

[Pure Moriko]

(OOC: Sorry my response was so late. My dad was in my room and I'm not supposed to be doing this right now. I've got to go sleep too.
MacPere, I'm warning you. NEVER say that Moriko needs to keep Tatsu and Arachne on a leash in front of her. She'll jump you.)


Moriko nodded and relented, "Fine, I'll back off." She turned to see a confused and worried Rose. Putting on an easy smile, Moriko assured, "Don't worry, just a slight dispute involving spiders and arachnophobiacs. If you think about it, you should never really put them in the same room," Moriko put on a comical thinking face.

She turned to go up the stairs and meet up with Tatsu and Arachne. They were doing as they were told and reviewing the information the three of them had gathered so far. "C'mon," Moriko motioned, "Let's go. We need to find a place to sleep." The three of them exited through the window. Making sure that the room was exactly the way it was when they came in and that the window was closed on their way out.  

[Gren_Eckener]

"You didn't, for how you were feeling. It was a panic response when you were already jittery from adrenaline. I'd have reacted about the same way, probably, if I were in such a state. The thing is, the spider and dragon aren't pets, they're her friends who happen to be different species. She can't leash them: they'd be slaves then... And it's normal for someone to get mad at anyone badmouthing a friend who's just trying to have some fun. You were both well in your rights, if you ask me."

After that ramble, Gren smiled. "Yeah, let's. get to bed...I'll get something to put on those burns, maybe a little more? C'mon, you're freezing." He wrapped an arm around MacPere's shoulder and nuzzed his cheek a bit.

(Don't worry, Moriko, Gren's on the case! And now I sleep.)  

[MacPere]

"Alright, alright... Although, I'm sure your tongue would suffice on my burns..."

(Same for me. Good ni-- morning all~ <3)
