Invitation, arrives 3/20

[rogueinladysclothing]

[At some point throughout the day, a handwritten letter arrives at the door - or in some unexpected place in one’s office - in a parchment envelope, sealed with the rogues' House seal pressed into a deep forest green wax. Amelia follows up within the hour via text.]

Aloïs and I look forward to seeing you. If you need anything ahead of your arrival, please let me know.

P.S. - Please know that Kyle is invited to join us. Both Aloïs and I would enjoy seeing the both of you again.


((OOC: Message from Aloïs incoming as well! Feel free to respond to either (or both!) of the rogues.))

ho Alex.

so you know that invite youll be getting today is for a natal day celebration. youve not met my first i think but the shorthand for knowing her is that shes like to bolster everyone around her but herself. i and a few others arent letting the day pass without note.

no need to bring anything less you fancy that but thats the score.

[thenewnormal]

I was wondering about that. Any idea how it got into my office?

Also, your first? I don't know the term as you're using it.

[dancingknives]

[Now there's an interesting question.]

cant say for sure because i didnt deliver it. is your office especially difficult to get into or something? [Because it's sounding like Amelia might have picked a lock to get in. He will. Tactfully not mention that. Probably.]

my commander and also my dominant. Amelia Royer.

what if we [kink] all night long

[thenewnormal]

How very unspecific of you, Barry. You're supposed to be a scientist, right? Methodical and precise?

[adultflash]

Oh my god, I did not send this. If I was going to do a generic form sext I would at least have made sure it populated correctly.

Not that I know how to write any kind of sext to save my life.

[thenewnormal]

I do okay. My ex and I were long-distance back when that was an option.

[adultflash]

I guarantee you do better than me. I can barely talk dirty in general much less in text form.

[thenewnormal]

How is that possible? You're good at talking.

[adultflash]

Well sometimes I definitely say stuff before I actually think about the words that happen.

It's more the subject matter and general awkwardness in saying what I'd like to do with someone.

I get this is old hat to you, but I need to tell someone that a guy from freaking Harry Potter is here. How do I cope with that?

[thenewnormal]

Probably about the same way I reacted when I found out that the first friend I made in the city worked with Han Solo. Hopefully not as bad as when I met Tim.

[roswellorphan]

This has to be a weird shared delusion.

[thenewnormal]

Or these people are somehow able to pull from a multiverse. One person's fiction might be another's reality.

[roswellorphan]

No. Shared delusion. Or dreamscape. Or something that doesn't involve me being in the same place as a dude from Harry Potter.

[thenewnormal]

Question is who's dreamscape? Who could think up this place?

[roswellorphan]

Someone who needs a whole hell of a lot of therapy.

Next time I want to warn people of the shit we've gone through here, remind me not to keep my mouth shut.

[ Not that he usually talks about it ahead of time, but he can't help but to reach out feeling like he does in that moment. ]

[thenewnormal]

[ It takes Alex a couple of minutes to reply. But then... ]

You did warn them, Kyle. You told them there were monsters and death out there. You can't protect the stupidly curious. At least no one did die.

Though as a heads up, there is blood on the couch. Not a lot and I cleaned it up, but Barry was here. He...

I sent him to Caitlin, but you might want to stay in the hospital for the next little while in case there are more people who come in like he was.

[drmcsexy]

Sorry I erased something and rewrote it. I meant tell me to keep my mouth shut because my warning sent them out there. What am I supposed to think of that?

... So his very recent network commentary that it's all fine and he's okay was bullshit too? Good to know.

I am so upset, Alex. I really am.

[thenewnormal]

That you have at least one superhero and who knows how many others who do stupid things for a living. Believe me. I want to throttle Barry. But what good will it do?

Besides, if you don't warn against the danger, the ones who aren't stupid might think they're safe. It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't scenario.

[drmcsexy]

I don't care what they choose to do on their own but...

Alex I talked to him in the lighthouse about the day I died and was turned. About everything. Including things I barely talk about with anyone else because them starting with that damn thing worries me that much.

And then he bleeds on my couch and pretends like it's nothing.

He used my pain to hurt himself and then acts like I'm the one being irrational.

[thenewnormal]

[ Breathe, Alex. Breathe. ]

I hadn't seen the network. I was too busy making sure that Caitlin knew he'd promised that he was going to see her. You didn't do this, Kyle. If you hadn't warned them, there are others who would have. Hell, if you hadn't warned them, I would have. It may have been the day you were turned, but I died that day, too. Me and Bass and Michael.

But I'm sorry that Barry's trivializing it. He tried doing it to me, too, even though I could see exactly how bad off he is.

[drmcsexy]

I know! So many people died out there.
And Chris and others nearly died on the boat Barry and his friends found.
Nick was nearly killed by that Kraken. Others were. I watched them be snatched out to sea!

I just... I get risking yourself to save others. I get doing what we have to in this place and we get hurt doing that.
This just feels like taunting the powers that be and mocking those that died out there.

He came to our place to what? Find me to help him? And what did he think would happen then?
Thank you for helping him though.
