Seeing the opposition that she would have to face, Izkemina hurls LJ towards the door at a high rate of speed.
Fine! You want her so bad, you keep her. But don't come crying to me when she gets captured by cultists and used to unleash the most destructive evil the universe has ever known.
She glares at LJ
I'm sorry you were ever born, you ungrateful brat.
With that she teleports away.

JH does his best to provide a soft hit for LJ, catching her if he can and trying to absorb the force of the impact himself.
I hope that it doesn't turn out that I betrayed you by wanting to keep you here.
Her breath is knocked out of her as JH catches her before she can collide with the door, but it could have been worse.
What her mother said to her was certainly worse. She had never been so directly hostile to her before. LJ tried to keep the tears in, but they kept leaking out anyways.

JH holds her as long as she wants him to, letting her cry.
She's certainly one for dramatics, isn't she?
Plantjack goes over to Lynora and apologetically puts a vine on her shoulder.
"I am regretful about that. But it had to be done. She would have only ruined your life. And there was something...off about her."
She's never been like that before, LJ gasps out between sobs. Critical and demanding, sure, but never so...cruel.

LJ tries to laugh and cry at the same time and chokes a little bit in the attempt. She buries her head against his shoulder and after awhile the tears run out and she starts breathing more calmly.
Hey FJ, you may want to dab on some of that Brut. We drew straws and you get to try to thaw the Ice Queen. She looks like she REALLY needs a man.*put an arm around FJ* Yeah, do what you do best buddy, except drink of course. *whispers to JH* I best she kicks his rear end.
Well, that's a fox-hole I'm not jumping in, no matter the bombshells around!
Last time I tamed a wild-gal like her, I ended up on the can for giving her some rough love... darn strict state laws... no wonder there are so many uptight gals around.
*Drinks some Brut*
PFFFFFFFFFFTTTT!!!! what the heck!

Wow FJ, I never noticed how pretty your eyes are. *wink*
LJ giggles. Hey, no dumping me for Frat Jack, she says jokingly. It seems like she's through the worst of her emotional outburst now.

I don't know...VTPJ says he's a great kisser...

"No, you see, Frogskin just told you that PJ said FJ was a great kisser. You simply assumed he meant me."
Plantjack says, smiling slightly.

So PJ says you're the good kisser? I'm confused. But not as much as you guys are.
JH smiles back.

"No, you just assumed that Frogskin meant me, rather than Panama Jack, who said that Frat Jack was a great kisser. You need to pay attention."
So Frogskin says you're a good kisser, but Panama and Frat said you're not?

"Now you're just being annoying on purpose."

Yay, I win. First round's on you.

But you blinked first.
Reggie! VTPJ's buying! Dark & Stormys all around!
LJ giggles as they get more and more outrageous.
I think that I'd like to go to Club Calistria now. Blow off some steam. Oh - she stops short, biting her lip. My sister is there. She'll want to know what happened. I don't want to talk about it. Not with her.

Well, there's that new pond of still water. We could bring your cooler.
Alaina walks in the door, still in workout uniform
Lyn I just got a note from VTPJ that something went on with your mother. Are you OK?

She brightens up considerably. That sounds good. I'm ready to go whenever you are.

Oh, Alaina, it was horrible. Her lower lip starts to quiver, like she's going to start crying again. She was awful. She yelled at me. And she tried to kidnap me. And when they wouldn't let her take me with her, she said... she said she was sorry I was ever born. That does start the waterworks again.
Honey ...
Alaina wraps Lynora-Jill in a big hug
I'm so sorry sweetie. I know all about difficult parents. I'm sorry she said that to you.
Lynora-Jill sniffles as she once more gets her tears under control. Thanks, Alaina. It's good to know that I have friends who care about me. I was going to go to your place to try and take my mind off it for awhile, but my sister is there and I just don't think I can handle any more family drama today.
That blue-haired girl was your sister? No wonder you were so involved last night ..
Alaina pulls a hanky from a small gym bag she is toting and hands it to Lynora-Jill.
We can go somewhere else tonight. I'll tell Acme I'll be busy and unable to be there. He, Rosie and the girls can handle the patrons. I'll pop back and get cleaned up ..
Stares down at her sweaty form.
I'm fresh from the yoga mats ..
We need to find Angel, and ask her how she knew about the betrayal. And if it was Lyn's mom, or if the threat is still out there.

What betrayal? And how did Angel know about a betrayal?

Don't know. She came in a bit beat up and warned me.
Someone close would betray you. Could be anyone, including me. Damn cryptic warnings. It could be anything.
Alaina hugs Lynora-Jill
I'll be back soon sweety!
Departs
Maybe we should leave Angel a note telling her where we are. That way she'll come talk to us instead of us trying to chase her down without having any idea where she is right now.
Once Alaina rejoins the group, LJ washes her face to get rid of the tears and picks up the cooler.
I'm not sure where this new place is, so lead the way.
Well JRHM, where's this hippy commune of yours?
PlantJack, are you okay? You look kinda tired. Here, before we head out...
*casts restoration on PlantJack*
I hope that helps.
Alaina arrives dressed in a casual sarong skirt an a skinny-strap green top.
Let's go! I feel an urge for a stiff drink ...
Well JRHM, where's this hippy commune of yours?
Ok, it's easy to find. Go to the Knights' Castle, go north from there and you'll find a trail. Stay on the trail for about a mile. You'll know that you're close because the smell of Mary Jane, tofu burgers, and unbathed individuals will overwhelm you.

Wow FJ, I never noticed how pretty your eyes are. *wink*
Those are for scanning chicks better... Now BACK OFF
Looks up from the couch
ACME!!!!
Grab me a beer!
*BEEP*
Right away sir!
Zips over with a fresh Sam Adams
*BEEP*
Would anyone else like a beverage?
Hey Malice. I heard a new knock-knock joke today. You start it.
Knock Knock
Who's there?
