-sees Kits konked out on a pile of pillows in the corner with Silver and Mwee. Her face is a little red and she seems exhausted so dame doesn't wanna wake her. She sits down in the arm chair in the room and decides to watch over her. That didn't last long though, because as soon as dame got comfy, she fell fast asleep emotion_zzz -

:: Miro enjoys being at home once again after her first full week back at work. She had her schedule arranged so that she wouldn't be working weekends anymore to enable her to can take care of Morrion while Vassnta is practicing with FoA. Through the week while she was at work, he would be the one taking care of her son. She was a bit iffy about this arrangement at first, but in the end convinced herself that things should be fine. After all, he'd been taking care of Morrion at night while she's asleep so being completely by himself shouldn't be that much different. It was still difficult not to worry while she was at AS, but she imagined the worry would be far greater had she left her son at a daycare. Vassnta she at least knew and had seen for herself that he takes good care of her child.

Unfortunately, the problem of what do to about filming still needed to be addressed. She's had a few email and IM exchanges with Tes regarding when filming would start again, and he always says "soon".... which with Tes can mean anywhere between an hour from now to 5 years from now gonk Though he claims many of the most important arrangements have been taken care of and thus should be "any day now", but that's still a window of a few months there emotion_facepalm Why must he be so bad with time? stressed

In any case, she really needed to find some kind of resolution for when filming did start again, and she had less time and energy to spend looking for one now that she was working again. Mistress lady person never got back to her either crying She considers asking kitty lady boss person if it would be alright for her to occasionally look up stuffses while at work so long as it didn't detract from her playing with the aminals, figuring kitty lady boss person was more likely to say yes than her immediate supervisor at the pet spa, who's a big meaniehead mad

Some attempts at doing daycare research were done today, but there was the constant distraction of Morrion as well as the distraction of her own wandering mind sweatdrop By evening, she gives up on the research and allows herself to entertain the thoughts that kept demanding her attention, typing them out onto her little netbook to get them out of her head like countless times she's done before since buying it. ::

{{One day I'll get back to posting these morning scenes in the morning where they belong emotion_facepalm }}

*Finished with the weekend gigs, Vass returns to Miro's place sometime in the late night/early morning hours. She's usually in bed by the time he gets home, so he was surprised to see the lights on this time. However, when he comes in, he finds her sprawled out along the couch, netbook open. He smiles and goes to greet her, but doesn't get an answer. Upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that she had fallen asleep there. Figuring she might prefer to sleep in bed since that's where she normally sleeps, he moves the netbook onto the table then carefully picks her up and takes her to her room.

Once she seems settled in, he returns to the livingroom to power down her laptop, but when he goes to do so, he notices that she wasn't just browsing the web, but appeared to have been in the middle of writing something. Without really meaning to, his eyes skim the document when he goes to save it for her and his cheeks redden a bit at some of the things he sees, though he isn't quite sure why. Curiosity soon gets the better of him and instead of closing the document after he's saved it for her, he scrolls up to read it from the beginning*

*Remilia goes over to a motel and approaches a well dressed blond haired man*

"Hello brother. What brings you out here?

And with a full van?"  

[Robert E O Speedwagon]

"I Wanted to move out to someplace quieter than New York, and you seem to find this place enjoyable."  

[Remilia E O Speedwagon]

"Well I would think you came to the right place. I do hope you found a place to live first."  

[Robert E O Speedwagon]

"I did. I'm just here for the night."  

[Remilia E O Speedwagon]

"Oh good, but why didn't you tell me you were coming, Robert? I have a nice place you could have stopped at."  

[Robert E O Speedwagon]

"Oh, I just didn't want to burden you or your roommate." sweatdrop  

[Remilia E O Speedwagon]

*Remilia, not wanting her brother to live in a motel even overnight, makes an offer*

"How about you stay at my place for the night? I'm sure Bao won't mind.

Besides, I don't want to walk home when it's dark."  

[Robert E O Speedwagon]

"Oh ok. My motel room is paid for so I don't think leaving early will be a problem."

*After moving what little of his was in the motel room into the van, Robert opens the passenger door on his van for Remilia and gets in on the driver's side*  

[Remilia E O Speedwagon]

*Remilia steps into the van and the 2 head off towards Charlestown Hideaway*

Miro's First Memories of Vellious - Part 1

Miro has always been fond of winter. The look and feel of it has just always been more appealing to her than any of the other seasons. Some of her kin thought she was weird, as most of them preferred the spring with all its colors and stuffses. And while Miro admits that it is pretty, winter just seems to have more... elegance to it. Perhaps even having some romantic undertones to it, what with how the cold air encourages bodies to huddle together for warmth.

So when Tes told Miro about the continent of Vellious and how it's in a perpetual state of winter, Miro wanted to go there immediately. To her dismay, Tes said she would have to wait until she got older, as she had yet to even go through any formal class and survival training at the time. But Miro was certain to remind him after she became a cleric.

He warned her that the climate of Vellious wasn't quite like the winters she had experienced on Faydwer, so she packed an extra blanket. Little did she realize that one blanket wasn't going to amount to a whole lot once they got there. To say Vellious "wasn't quite" like the winters she was more accustomed to was a vast understatement. And to make matters worse, the continent was huge and it took many days of travel to get anywhere. She already wasn't sure if she really wanted to stay there once she realized just how cold it was going to be, but Tes insisted that if they had already traveled that far, they should at least get something out of the trip before turning back.

The Ry'Gorr clan of orcs mined a lot of gems in the area, so his plan was to pick a number of them off first. However, getting to them was quite a journey in itself from where they arrived.

Miro's First Memories of Vellious - Part 2

Formerly, one would have had to travel by boat from the desert of North Ro to Iceclad Ocean before getting to the part of Vellious dubbed the Eastern Wastes where the orcs set up their mining operation. Thankfully, boat travel was way before Miro's time and all that was needed for them was to portal from the Plane of Knowledge to the Great Divide and travel east from there. It looked simple enough on the map, but the map turned out to be incredibly deceptive regarding distance.

It seemed like it would have been such a short trip until they reached what would be considered the beginnings of Eastern Wastes, but in reality, Miro felt like her legs were about to fall off by the time they got to Eastern Wastes, and getting to the orc fort from there was going to be twice as long. The snow and mountainous terrain certainly didn't help make the trip any easier either as Miro was constantly tripping and falling.

Tes allows her some time to rest and heal all the bumps, sprains, and scrapes she'd acquired, assuring her that the Eastern Wastes are much flatter than the Great Divide so the trip to the orc fort will be easier despite the distance, but at this point, Miro, almost in tears, is really just wanting to go home. She's experienced more than enough of Vellious as far as she's concerned, and now that they've stopped moving, the reminder of how bitterly cold it is on top of everything else had started to sink in. He tries to convince her to stay, making promises of snow bunnies and shinies, but after such a miserable start, she's ready to gate. Just because she can heal in an instant with just the cast of a spell doesn't mean she's immune to the pain of injury.

Of course, she's been told several times before by Tes and others that the life of an adventurer is filled with these kinds of pains and miseries, but still being practically fresh out of the convent, she had yet to fully experience this reality. It was too much, too fast.

Miro's First Memories of Vellious - Part 3

Somehow or another, Tes convinces her to at least sleep on it first and decide after she's gotten a full night's sleep... or maybe it was day? Another thing about Vellious is that it's dark at all hours apparently. Perhaps that's why Tes didn't mind bringing her there.

He sets up a simple tent to help shield them from the wind, but doesn't build a fire as he states that a fire would attract some of the wildlife in the area.... ones of the non-snow bunny kind. One of the only reasons she agreed to even try sleeping here was because she assumed that with a tent and a fire, it may potentially be comfortable enough to, but without the fire, even after wrapping herself in all the blankets she brought and even trying to use her backpack itself as an additional one, it just didn't seem to be getting any warmer.

While Miro is busy shivering in her ineffective bundle, Tes sets up his own bedding, which includes a rather grotesque looking blanket that looks like it was stripped off a bear. That poor naked bear... where ever he was. But what was really surprising was, despite how freezing cold it still was there in the tent, once he had his bedding all set, he started to strip. At first Miro thought that he was just taking off his armor, which still seemed a bit strange in itself since she left her own on to try to get as much warmth as possible, but trying to sleep in armor was undeniably uncomfortable. However, once his armor was off, he continued to disrobe until he was completely naked.

Miro covered her eyes and hid her face behind her blankets once she realized how far he was going. A little warning would have been nice, though the flush in her face was probably the most warmth she'd felt all day since they arrived in Vellious. When Miro peeks back out (only to see if he covered himself of course!) he's already wrapped up in his own bedding, trying to find a comfortable position to lay in.

Once he's settled, they both try to get some sleep, which isn't at all easy with the uncontrollable shivering. After a while, Tes suddenly speaks up, scolding Miro to stop making such a racket, having apparently grown annoyed with the sound of her clattering armor. Miro couldn't help it, though. It's not like Miro can just stop being cold and she told him as much, to which he responded that she should just take her armor off. But Miro figured if she did that, she'd be even colder. However, he insisted that the heavy plate metal she was wearing was doing nothing for warmth and only making it impossible for either of them to sleep. If anything, it was keeping her cold, he then adds.

With much reluctance, Miro starts unstrapping her various pieces of armor, trying her best to remove them without leaving what little warmth she may have acquired under her blankets. Tes groans at how long it takes, but she eventually gets it done, tossing each piece to the side. She bundles up once more, and though a lot more comfortable and just slightly warmer, it isn't enough to keep her teeth from chattering, which ultimately gets her yet another scolding from Tes.
