Title: Front Door
The Source - March 25, 2006 11:19 AM (GMT)
Two solid wooden doors with brass, circular handles mark the entrance of the mansion, which have a sliding opening so the person inside can look through and identify who it is without being seen themselves. A long rope hangs down - the doorbell.
Paige - March 29, 2006 11:55 AM (GMT)
::Paige and Azura approach the door and stop outside it. Paige frowns, wondering how they get in like normal human beings.::
Azura - March 29, 2006 11:57 AM (GMT)
:: Azura being smart and all, figures out what the rope is for and pulls it, setting off the doorbell. She looks at Paige, half grinning. She's all excited. Aw.::
Paige - March 29, 2006 12:00 PM (GMT)
::Paige can't help but grin back, thinking about the cuteness of Azura.::
"I dunno if Prue's home, or if she got us servants or anything... oh my god, let us have servants. I wanna Jeeves!"
Azura - March 29, 2006 12:04 PM (GMT)
"If no one answers the door can you just take us inside?"
:: Azura wants Paige to have a Jeeves though, only because she seems utterly amused by the idea.::
Paige - March 29, 2006 12:13 PM (GMT)
"Yeah..."
::Paige presses her tongue against the back of her teeth, waiting still.::
"Hmm..."
Azura - March 29, 2006 12:23 PM (GMT)
:: Azura looks from the door to Paige and back again, feeling like an idiot just standing there.::
"Paige..."
Paige - March 29, 2006 12:28 PM (GMT)
"Yeah... I just wanna know how to like... open the damn thing."
::She walks up and pushes at the door. It doesn't budge.::
"Open sesame?"
::Nothing. With the -_- face she sighs.::
"Fine, we'll take the slightly less easy way. Unless I can just-"
::Oh noes! Paige's eyes do the creepy black I'M THE SOURCE thing! And what do you know? The doors open.::
Azura - March 29, 2006 12:30 PM (GMT)
:: Azura takes a couple of steps back when she sees this. The black eyed thing kind of freaks her out. Okay. It freaks her out a lot, who wouldn't be freaked out by it?::
Paige - March 29, 2006 12:31 PM (GMT)
::Paige looks at Azura and sees her expression. She quickly lets her eyes revert to normal.::
"Sorry. I know it's freaky. But bright side? We're totally in."
Azura - March 29, 2006 12:35 PM (GMT)
:: Azura manages a small smile, stepping towards Paige again.::
"It is okay, just kind of... scary."
:: She takes her hand and pulls her inside, and smiles as she looks around the entrance. So pretty! Stuff Azura totally appreciates.::
"Should we put my bag away first, or wander around?"
Paige - March 29, 2006 01:08 PM (GMT)
::Paige waves her hands and it disappears in a cloud of orbs, going up to her room. That done, Paige smiles at her girlfriend and stretches her back a little.::
"So. Where to, Princess?"
Azura - March 29, 2006 01:27 PM (GMT)
:: Azura likes being called that, she smiles and then has a look around them. Her gaze fixes on the doorway leading to the parlour, she pulls Paige through there.::
Luke - March 31, 2006 05:18 PM (GMT)
::Luke approaches the door with caution, petting the dog's head again. He turns around to Petunius.::
"Here goes nothing."
::Seeing that there was no doorbell button, he looks to the string and pulls on it. To ensure that someone would answer the door, he also knocks.::
Hound - March 31, 2006 05:20 PM (GMT)
::Far-off distant barking, getting closer.::
Dog - March 31, 2006 05:21 PM (GMT)
::The little pup starts whimpering and scrabbling to get away.::
Luke - March 31, 2006 05:27 PM (GMT)
::Luke turns his head to the barking, feeling very unnerved about it.::
"That doesn't sound good at all."
::He looks down to the pup.::
"Shh. We'll leave here as soon as get find out who Norman is."
Hound - March 31, 2006 05:34 PM (GMT)
::The barking gets louder.::
Luke - March 31, 2006 05:40 PM (GMT)
"You know what? Maybe this isn't the right place since whatever is barking at us does recognize you?"
(But then again, where are they? How can the dogs see us?)
"Let's just go to the police station. Maybe they can pull up some records on you."
::Luke leads them back to the grounds.::
Hound - March 31, 2006 05:41 PM (GMT)
::Five big dogs careen after them.::
Azura - May 23, 2006 09:31 PM (GMT)
:: Azura stops in front of the giant doors and pulls the rope to activate the doorbell, much like she did the first time she came to the mansion.::
Andrea - May 23, 2006 09:33 PM (GMT)
(You're not getting any further.)
Azura - May 23, 2006 09:36 PM (GMT)
:: Azura starts to become a little more panicked and rings the doorbell again.::
"PAIGE! PRUE!"
Paige - May 23, 2006 09:41 PM (GMT)
::Paige and Prue flame in.::
"What is it? Are you okay?"
Prue - May 23, 2006 09:41 PM (GMT)
::Prue's eyes flicker over Azura.::
"No broken limbs, nothing chasing you... this better be good."
Azura - May 23, 2006 09:44 PM (GMT)
:: Azura shrinks back against the door and braces herself.::
"Andrea cast a truth spell on me."
Prue - May 23, 2006 09:44 PM (GMT)
::Prue suddenly seems to be about four times bigger.::
"Oh, please tell me you're fucking with us."
Azura - May 23, 2006 09:47 PM (GMT)
"I wish that I were. She does not know that you and Paige are The Source though. However, she knows that I have powers and that The Source gave them to me."
:: Azura takes another step back until she is pressed against the door.::
"She knows that I am working for The Source, so to speak."
Prue - May 23, 2006 09:50 PM (GMT)
"Great. Great."
::on the last word, Prue's eyes turn black and a huge flame bursts from her body, as if she's going on fire... but she isn't, and it disappears in a second.::
"So she knows. And guess who she'll tell. And where will that lead them to? Here. Us. Why didn't you stop her? What about your goddamn powers, Azura? Why didn't you use them?"
Paige - May 23, 2006 09:50 PM (GMT)
"Prue, take it easy."
::Understands how Prue feels.::
Azura - May 23, 2006 09:54 PM (GMT)
:: Azura glances between the sisters and feels stupid.::
"I do not know. She just... she had me stuck in the ground and I... she kept asking me questions, and I-"
:: She could have used her powers more, she should have.::
Prue - May 23, 2006 09:59 PM (GMT)
"Didn't do a thing! What do you even have that power for?"
::Prue reaches up and gives Azura a rough jab in the temple with her fingers, then turns to Paige. Azura's in her bad books, so she gets to be talked about as if she's not there.::
"Well that's it. We have to do something."
(Andrea.)
Paige - May 23, 2006 10:00 PM (GMT)
::Paige stares at Prue, knowing what she's thinking.::
"I don't think..."
Prue - May 23, 2006 10:01 PM (GMT)
"She's too big a risk, Paige. Even if we got Ol' Screw-Up here to modify her memory she'll find out again. She's an annoying little whore like that. And who would miss her? Really."
Azura - May 23, 2006 10:03 PM (GMT)
"Julie."
:: Azura whispers, raising her head again to look at them both.::
"The last thing you need is Julie looking for Andrea."
(I am so sorry.)
:: She speaks to Paige.::
Paige - May 23, 2006 10:07 PM (GMT)
(I know.)
::Paige doesn't look at Azura.::
Prue - May 23, 2006 10:09 PM (GMT)
"Julie. Now there's someone I know I could rely on."
(Wish it was her Paige was dating.)
::Prue sighs angrily.::
"I don't know. I don't know."
::Shaking her head, she rubs the palm of her hand over her face.::
Azura - May 23, 2006 10:11 PM (GMT)
:: This upsets Azura even more, she turns away and sits down on the steps without looking at either Paige or Prue. She keeps her eyes downcast and starts playing with her hair.::
(I should have used my powers. Why did I not...)
:: She's trying very hard not to cry.::
Paige - May 23, 2006 10:15 PM (GMT)
"Prue, we'll fix it. First thing's first. We have to take her out of the game. She could be on her way to our sisters right now and she needs to be stopped. Send a demon after her. I don't wanna kill her."
Prue - May 23, 2006 10:16 PM (GMT)
"What demon's not gonna want to kill her? I couldn't care less if they did. But okay. We can do that."
::She starts to calm down.::
"We can pick her off the streets for a while until we think of a way to keep her mouth closed. Okay?"
