Casey's Castle
Post by Casey "Phase" Semple on Jul 23, 2007, 9:34am

Casey's room is very neat. He's almost anal that way. Everything has it's place. It's even rumored that he folds his dirty underwear…

Since space is limited…he doesn't have nearly as many things here as he did in his room at the mansion.

Next to his bed is an I Pod Docking machine since he frequently tries to drown out the goings ons about the bus.

On the wall across from his bed is a small family portrait. It was painted by a local artist from Casey's hometown as a gift for the family.

His wall locker is to the right of his bed.

To the left of his bed is a small entertainment system. It houses a DVR, Television and DVD Player.

With my IPod blasting The Cure's Greatest Hits…I almost don't hear that someone's knocking at my door.

"Entre'!"

I don't even bother getting up or turning the music down.

I push the door open and walk in.

"Lullaby. Good song."


Re: Casey's Castle

I instantly raise up. For some reason I wasn't expecting it to be her

"Hi Kelly!"

I turn the music down a bit.

I tilt my head slightly to one side with a smile.

"So, I’m wondering what was with the ‘entre’ thing. I thought you were British…."

"Huh? Oh….yes"

I chuckle a bit.

"I've always had an interest in French…just never really had the time to properly take it up."

"I’ve never really been good with French. I think… the last time I did any was back when I was 14. Dropped it. Was kind of sucky at it."

I shrug, still smiling.

"So I’m slightly less interested in the language."

"See, I think I've heard that about every European language but German. I'm not sure if I think it's Italian or Spanish."


Re: Casey's Castle
Post by Casey "Phase" Semple on Jul 23, 2007, 12:09pm

"Ha! German is very droll…3 different words for 'the'…seems a little redundant if you ask me me. Italian is actually very nice…I think I'd like to learn that after French."

"Aw… I like diversity. Both Urdu and Arabic are extremely diverse languages. I could probably find at least two words to kind of mean the same as every one that's in English. There are slight differences in meaning between the words, though."

"To each their own…"

I'm quiet for a second.

"…but I'm sure you didn't come here to talk about that…what's on your mind? And how are things with you and Dreck?"


Re: Casey's Castle
Post by Meisha "Muse" Aisha on Jul 23, 2007, 12:22pm

"… Dreck?"


Re: Casey's Castle

"Yes….your beau."

I stare at her matter of factly, innocent like.

"Oh, you mean Wreck! Things are… going. It's a bit confused lately… with everything that's happened and happening, it feels like things are piling on, you know? And I keep on thinking that if something happens, he might just give up again…."


Re: Casey's Castle
Post by Casey "Phase" Semple on Jul 23, 2007, 12:29pm

"Ah yes…Wreck..how silly of me. Confused? How so? And what do you mean by 'give up again'? I think you've forgotten that I only recently rejoined the team."


Re: Casey's Castle
Post by Meisha "Muse" Aisha on Jul 23, 2007, 12:33pm

"He… killed himself. Kind of. When I died, he just… yeah. And it stuck, for a little while. And then- it just… it’s confusing. Something called Blight brought him back, and it’s just… confusing."

I shut my eyes for a moment with a shake of my head.

"And the confused thing… well, haven't things seemed weird to you, this last week or so?"


Re: Casey's Castle
Post by Casey "Phase" Semple on Jul 23, 2007, 12:37pm

"Oh, I see…"

How silly and cliche'….my girlfriend dies…so I kill myself…knowing that it's my power to not die….

"Weird is a matter of perspective. Again, my newness here……as far as I know..this is how things always are.."

I wink.

"Not quite, no. I mean… things are usually pretty bad, but never quite this bad. I mean, Erebus was here. And Demi - a demi-goddess that usually stays with Gen X - turned up, and- and a lot of other stuff, too…" I glance down at my bandaged hand, deciding not to talk about that part of the weirdness. The whole death and resurrection thing.

«It just occurred to me that I don't know how the whole death thing was resolved…and Casey was there when you were pronounced dead…..CONTINUITY ERROR!!!»

"Oh! I wish you hadn't brought that up…."

I move the hand behind my back quickly, hoping he hasn't noticed it.

"I don't know. I hear that, but the only person who came back without it being their power was Mr. Guthrie, I think."

"Oh, yes, I know all about Ms. Grey… but that’s something else. Something special. The Phoenix… I can’t really say I get the Phoenix, to be honest. I’ve heard that it’s a destroyer – but if it’s something so horrible, why does it keep on giving life, over and over again?"

"I haven’t spoken with you in a while… you really shunt yourself away from everyone else, you know that? And I needed to just go off, speak to someone else to keep my mind off… things."

"Well it's not my intention to 'shunt' myself. I'm just new here and frankly don't seem to have much in common with anyone here…"

"So what should we have everyone do? We could just do the dinner thing. That works. If not that… what else is there?"


Re: Casey's Castle

"No…I didn't mean to shoot down your idea. Really, I think that would be fine."


Re: Casey's Castle

"… you were shooting down my idea?" I ask, wearing a confused expression. "I was just asking because I wasn't sure what we should have everyone do…."

"Oh, haha, nevermind I misunderstood your response. In any regard, us all getting out without the involvement of some evil mutant or demon would be great."


Re: Casey's Castle
Post by Kelly Alecia "Star Girl" Lisa on Jul 23, 2007, 5:44pm

"Dinner for all of us, then, huh? Hm… I don't actually know what's in the town. Have you ever been to Oregon before?"


Re: Casey's Castle
Post by Casey "Phase" Semple on Jul 23, 2007, 5:48pm

"No, I've never been here before. But maybe one of the others has a suggestion?"


Re: Casey's Castle
Post by Kelly Alecia "Star Girl" Lisa on Jul 23, 2007, 5:50pm

"I guess I could go look into the town an a few, to see if there's any nice place to visit."


Re: Casey's Castle
Post by Casey "Phase" Semple on Jul 23, 2007, 6:05pm

"That'd be a good idea. But you should probably consult the others first. In case there are any special needs to be considered."


Re: Casey's Castle
Post by Kelly Alecia "Star Girl" Lisa on Jul 23, 2007, 6:07pm

[That topic's up :P.]

"Probably. But doesn't any good restaurant already cater to that kind of stuff?"


Re: Casey's Castle
Post by Casey "Phase" Semple on Jul 23, 2007, 6:08pm

"It's possible…..but to be safe.."


Re: Casey's Castle
Post by Kelly Alecia "Star Girl" Lisa on Jul 23, 2007, 6:11pm

[Oops :). Too late :D.]

"Yeah, you're right."

I pause. I know it's something I shouldn't really bring up; something that I shouldn't really even think about, all things considered, but I can't help but be curious about it. In relation to anyone and everyone.

"Hey, Casey? I've got a question."


Re: Casey's Castle

«Not sure where the topic is»

«Damn I looked there and somehow missed it.»

"No…not really. Are you asking me if I believe in God, Heaven, Hell etc.?"


Re: Casey's Castle
Post by Kelly Alecia "Star Girl" Lisa on Jul 23, 2007, 6:23pm

I nod slowly.

"I guess I am, yes."


Re: Casey's Castle
Post by Casey "Phase" Semple on Jul 23, 2007, 6:27pm

"Well yes…Kelly, I do. I can't really say why…other than going to church and the things my mother always talked to me about. But I do believe in the so-called afterlife."


Re: Casey's Castle
Post by Kelly Alecia "Star Girl" Lisa on Jul 23, 2007, 6:28pm

"'So called?'" I ask, tilting my head to one side.

"Why do you say that?"


Re: Casey's Castle
Post by Casey "Phase" Semple on Jul 23, 2007, 6:42pm

"Well seeing as I've never been dead….it's all speculation. I'd like to believe that there's a Heaven…I already know about the team's excursions to Hell…there has to be an opposite."


Re: Casey's Castle
Post by Kelly Alecia "Star Girl" Lisa on Jul 23, 2007, 6:46pm

I fall silent for a moment and sweep the hair out from in front of my eyes, considering what to say. I know there's one specific thing I don't want to say, even if it's the truth.

I blurt it out anyway. I've never been good at holding things back.

"There is. I think I saw it."


Re: Casey's Castle
Post by Casey "Phase" Semple on Jul 23, 2007, 6:52pm

"Heaven?" You think…that when you…….you went to Heaven?"


Re: Casey's Castle
Post by Kelly Alecia "Star Girl" Lisa on Jul 23, 2007, 6:54pm

I nod slowly again, uncertainty written on my face.

"I think so. Is it- is it wrong to think that I did? Is it vain?" I shake my head and look down. "I'm not sure. All I know is that… it felt perfect there, and I never wanted to leave. And… it was like, everyone that I cared about down here? I couldn't quite see them, but I knew that they would be fine, no matter what. That everything would work out perfectly for them. And I was with everyone who I'd been missing… Rose, my parents, Kidd, Tangle… everyone."


Re: Casey's Castle
Post by Casey "Phase" Semple on Jul 23, 2007, 6:57pm

"No it's not vain…if you truly believe it to be so. Of course you'll face skeptics should you decide to share the story. But I think that it's entirely possible that you did in fact go to to Heaven."


Re: Casey's Castle
Post by Kelly Alecia "Star Girl" Lisa on Jul 23, 2007, 7:01pm

My eyes light up and I smile warmly in response.

"Thank you, Casey. I'm sure that I was there. I mean… nothing that was like that could have been anything else."

I frown slightly, wrinkling my nose.

"And then I was pulled away, and I don't even know why, or how…."


Re: Casey's Castle
Post by Casey "Phase" Semple on Jul 23, 2007, 7:24pm

"Because it wasn't your time. But look at the event as motivation..that you're doing the right things and living the right way. You've been blessed in every sense of the word and given a "thumbs up"."


Re: Casey's Castle
Post by Kelly Alecia "Star Girl" Lisa on Jul 23, 2007, 7:26pm

I hug him before repeating myself.

"Thank you."


Re: Casey's Castle
Post by Casey "Phase" Semple on Jul 23, 2007, 7:50pm

I return the hug.

"No problem…"


Re: Casey's Castle

"How so?"


Re: Casey's Castle
Post by Kelly Alecia "Star Girl" Lisa on Jul 25, 2007, 2:22pm

"It's not really - well, this is a place where people lie all of the time and hurt each other and do bad things and I look around and it's like they don't want to do better and I've got to wonder why they're like that! And… after I've seen something perfect and beautiful, it's just hard to face it here again, knowing they might never do better."


Re: Casey's Castle
Post by Casey "Phase" Semple on Jul 25, 2007, 2:31pm

"Well Kelly I understand what you're saying. But it's called Heaven for a reason. I mean think about it…if you could have it as good here as there…would you ever have anything to look forward to? To aspire to? Hell, any motivation at all to do what's right?"


Re: Casey's Castle
Post by Kelly Alecia "Star Girl" Lisa on Jul 25, 2007, 2:33pm

"I know," I smile. "It's just… it would be nice if people could hurt each other less here. That's all."

I pause for a moment.

"There's also something else…."


Re: Casey's Castle
Post by Casey "Phase" Semple on Jul 25, 2007, 4:33pm

"Well yes…I guess I understand your point."

"Something else?"


Re: Casey's Castle
Post by Kelly Alecia "Star Girl" Lisa on Jul 25, 2007, 8:48pm

"Well… if I could come back… if I could be pulled back, maybe I wasn't meant to be there in the first place? Maybe… I wasn't meant to get in?"


Re: Casey's Castle

"Hmmm now I think you're over-thinking it."


Re: Casey's Castle
Post by Kelly Alecia "Star Girl" Lisa on Jul 25, 2007, 9:12pm

"Maybe. I don't know. I usually can't think about one single thing for long enough for that to happen, but I can't stop thinking about this. I mean… there have to be rules, you know? It- it wouldn't really be possible to leave unless you shouldn't have got in, in the first place."


Re: Casey's Castle
Post by Casey "Phase" Semple on Jul 25, 2007, 9:45pm

"Well I agree that you shouldn't have been there this time…but to say you shouldn't have been there at all seems ridiculous."


Re: Casey's Castle
Post by Kelly Alecia "Star Girl" Lisa on Jul 26, 2007, 9:06am

"I don't know… it's all very confusing. And if you were meant to be there, you shouldn't really be able to come back," I sigh. Lifting my gaze from the floor, I smile cheerily again.

"Well, thanks for your time, Casey! I'll see you later!" I sidle out of the room through the door.
