997.272.1030: Lysia's Homecoming!

During another hour of driving along the convoluted coastal highway you 
pass several more small beach/inland villages. Sometimes the villages 
are clearly older fishing villages and at other times the villages were 
mainly fishing villages, but are now there mostly to service the estates 
along the beach and inland up the hills.

Finally, Lysia slows down and turns to the right, away from the shore, 
driving up a smaller side road into the hills overlooking the ocean. 
Here the land is rolling hills with small valleys between them. Small 
groves of trees are interspersed with vineyards and fruit orchards 
growing on the sides of the hills. You can see large mansions back away 
from the road surrounded by stone walls...and probably more modern, and 
less visible, security measures.

Lysia turns off the road at one of them, and stops the car in front of a 
closed gate of what looks like wrought iron metal bars with "House of 
David" written in an arch of metal along the top of the gate.  A 
security monitor and call box can be seen on the stone post holding up 
one side of the gate.

Ilane relaxes and continues to enjoy the view.  Eventually, she falls asleep in 
the *very* comfy seat.

She wakes with a little start when Lysia stops the car.  "Wha...?  Are we there 
already?"

Lysia spent about fifteen minutes of the trip retelling the story of the
grav-car crash that killed her parents and left her alive when she was
thirteen...  She seems oddly distant about it, like she's describing
something that she watched second hand or in a theatre rather than actually
happened to her.  The details she uses to describe the failure of the
passenger side hatch and her last images of her mother before she was pulled
out of the vehicle at 500 metres are particularly chilling.

When she's done she gets quiet for a moment, and then starts pointing out
details of the countryside, a vineyard, Tally Isham's summer cottage,
details that only someone intimately familiar with the details of the land
would know.

"Ahh," Lysia says looking at the gate, "this brings back a lot of memories."

"Morg re-did the lights I see," she remarks to no one in particular, "the
flowers look nicer too since the last time I was here."

She checks the glove compartment quickly to see if the remote is inside but
it's only a half hearted search.  Lysia really doesn't believe it would be
that easy.  After a moment she reaches over and thumbs the intercom on the
post and looks right at the camera, most of her features carefully obscured
by her hat and glasses.

April pays very close attention to her story. She observes Lysia's facial 
expressions. Her brows crease in concern several times during the recollection 
but she sits quietly.

April also sits quietly. She smiles as Lysia lightens the mood by pointing out 
landmarks and details.

"Good morning, sianna, how..." the voice begins, then after a intake of 
breath continues, "...oh, it is Sianna Lysia! It is good to see you 
again Sianna Morgan."

The front gate's lock opens with an audible pop and the gate begins to 
swing back allowing the car to enter.

"Excuse me for not recognizing you immediately, and please come in."

Lysia recognizes the voice as an old family retainer.

Lysia pats Shawn's hand, "Ah don't worry about me, I became one of the
faceless horde an object of pity and curiosity."  She twists her foot on the
gas pedal, "With remarkable taste in shoes and great legs below the knee's,
the rest of it's pretty scary."

One side of her mouth pulls back in a lopsided grin, that eerie cupie doll
symmetry about her is thrown askew.

"The exterior is not the person, Jez. You're not faceless. I see your face
and you don't scare me."

His voice is not full of pity or anything like that.

"You don't want to try to scare me that way. I love hot dogging and roller
coasters. My tolerance might put the girls into hysterics when you try to

Lysia smiles, "It's good to hear your voice too.  We'll be in in a few
moments, is my sister here today?"

She waits a moment for an answer before popping the car back down into drive
and heading in through the gates and down the treed drive to her family
house.

The drive up the paved drive circles past a parklike area with broad 
grassy lawns, colorful flower beds and stands of low ornimental trees 
and shrubs.  Lysia remembers that this estate is called Tullie, and was 
purchased by her maternial grandfather and inherited by her mother. She 
assumes that it is Morgania's now.

Lysia pulls the car to a stop in front of a large three story stone 
building. From the outside it looks like a large government building, or 
perhaps a hotel. There are four people standing on the broad stone steps 
outside the front doors. Three of the people are humans and one is a vargr.

Lysia recognizes Baltiago, the butler, and the housekeeper, Jenny. Both 
have been with her family for as long as she's been alive. She doesn't 
recognize the young man or the vargr.

"Good morning, Sianna Lysia." Baltiago says stepping forward, "Welcome 
back to Tullie."

Lysia smiles as she gets out of the car, "Oh you have no idea how much I've missed you Baltiago, and you too Jenny."  She turns about quickly in the drive, "This place never changes does it, beautiful."

She sighs and leans back against the car, "Where are my manners?  Baltiago, Jenny, this is Si Shawn Smith, Sianna April Rose and Sianna Ilane Lanik." (I'm certian I've screwed up everyones names there.)

Lysia grins at her companions, "Welcome home."

She turns her attention to the two new people and sticks a hand out towards the vargr first, "Lysia David, I'm sorry I don't beleive we've met before."  Once she finds out the Vargr's name she sticks a hand out to the human, "Lysia David."

The housekeeper and gardener say hello to you all, and you are invited 
to enter the house. Inside, the walls are paneled with dark wood and 
there are rugs on dark hard wood floors. The ceilings are high with 
recessed lighting in the wooden molding up near the ceiling. You are in 
a long hall. To ether side are open doors leading into large richly 
furnished rooms. Further down the corridor are two more doors, these are 
closed, before the corridor empties into a large room. There is a wooden 
staircase leading up to the second floor here as well as corridors 
leading deeper into the house and closed double doors to either side.

Seeing that Lysia was trapped in some sort of returned home twilight zone,
Shawn stepped up to one of the servants.

"The ladies have been on a long trip, is there some place that they might
refresh themselves?"

"Yes, certainly! If you will come this way?" you are lead to a  setting 
of chairs on a patio made of flagstones over looking a well tended 
garden with colorful flowers and what looks like a large green wall of 
greenery with a white doorframe set in the middle of it. April 
recognizes it as a hedge maze.

"It is such a nice day, perhaps you would enjoy taking refreshment here 
in the garden. However, if this isn't to your taste, I can show you into 
the sitting room."

You are served a light lunch of sandwiches and cold tea.

OOC: Derek, what does Lysia need to do? Do it and we will be moving 
along. 

By 0100, you are ready to return to the city.

As you start to drive the car back down the drive the staff stand on the 
front steps and wave you goodbye.

OOG - Sorry I didn't get any reponces since about the 12th.  I've just replaced all my hardware in my computers since the HD failure it reboots itself about every 10 minutes.

I was coming here to spend a few hours with my neice / daughter.

I'll try to catch up.

Ilane thinks for a moment.  "I don't know...maybe there's some fun 'touristy' 
stuff that we could check out for a while?  Maybe then we could grab something 
for dinner, and then maybe hit a few of the clubs.  What do you think?"

"The pier is wonderful, but for a full on tourist trap you'd have to head
out to Wytch's Cross.  Clubs, casino's and carousing, the three C's."

"It's been a while since I was last able to do much of anything here," she
thinks a moment, "there's the pier in town.  Very lovely, and lots of stuff
to eat and drink."

Lysia smiles, "We'll have to avoid the Blue Onion if you want to go
clubbing, I was banned from there just after I was repatriated.  Not their
kind of clientele or something like that."

Lysia has spent a good sized chunk of the morning visiting with a young girl
named Shara.  She's barely four and keeps refering to Lysia as Auntie Lysia.

Lysia dotes on her, gives her a number of small gifts and before you all
leave she gives the little girl a good long hug and a kiss on the head.

Lysia looks distantly back at the little girl as she sits down quietly
behind the drivers seat of the car.

The engine springs to life with a twist of the key and she pushes her
sunglasses back up her nose.

"Shopping, I need to spend some money on something frivolous."

Shawn wondered who the little girl was but decided not to ask.

"Water sounds good. Are there any interesting boat rides? It would be a shame to go to the pier and
not take a boat ride. And we will avoid the onion. They make me cry anyways."

"The three C's?"

"Yes, there three C's, Clubs, Casino's and Carousing...  Staples of the
carefree existance."  Lysia offers up a half hearted smile, "You really
ought to try it."

"I heard that about two years back they opened this completely lush casino
on Wytch's Cross called 'The Temple,' sounds delightfully decident if you
ask me, perhaps we could go there."

She winks in the mirror at her backseat passangers, "I hear there's even a
Mogatu boutique and the left coasts only Xindra's."
