OMEGA: And my rage is building; rage at myself for failing every test that's been given me. "What is so damned funny?!" I snap at her. |

SIGHT JACK: “You are. You are so eager to put yourself down. It‘s just funny.” I said stumbling up. I wobbled over to my box of stuff still trying not to laugh. I pulled out a dish rag and headed over to where I made the mess. “So what are we going to do now?” |

OMEGA: I try to regain control, clenching my fists. In my father, it was a gesture to hold his power back; I am not so constrained, but it reminds me to hold back from any sort of outburst. "I was told that this was my fate, as it is his; that no matter what good I would do, I would be received only with fear and hatred." I look aside. "He did not mention mockery, though." Then I step forward, trying to take the rag from her hand (and hoping she doesn't attack me again?). "I'll clean this mess, ma'am. It is my place to do so, not yours." |

SIGHT JACK: I held out the rag, “Sure, Thanks.” I have been so blind. I had assumed he had come here to be a member of the New Legion but in fact he had come here looking for some kind of guidance in his life. A student in search of a Teacher. I did not want to be a teacher but if he was going to see his true potential, the hero that he was, I would have to fake for now. I picked up my white cane and started heading out. “ If you go down the hallway to the right you will hit a flight of stairs reach the third floor, room 302 there will be a balcony. I will be their waiting for you. When you are done here meet me there and we will discuss your training.” Kafka started heading out with me but I gave him the hand gesture to stop. “Kafka will be in charge till then. He‘ll let me know if you did a good job or not.” I headed out. |

OMEGA: Well at least she didn't attack me this time... But why should she? Before... I was trying to offer myself as a guardian, someone above her status. Now that I take my place as her servant, it is accepted. "I'm sure he will, ma'am." I state, then get to work cleaning the area. The fragments of the cup are not worth salvaging; I carefully place them in my palm and with the briefest moment of power -- they are gone. Then I scrub at the wall, cleaning away the stains as best I can. Once that's done, the surrounding area of wall seems a little dingy by comparison... so I get to work cleaning that. And with one wall cleaner than the others, it *still* doesn't look right... It looks like I'll be a while? She'll have plenty of time to think and get whatever it was out of her system... |

SIGHT JACK: I wait on the third floor balcony and feel the cool night air on my face. I find a nice place to sit then yawn. What am I going to do. Who am I to train anyone. I use my powers to check up on him. I am surprised to see him cleaning the entire kitchen. I shake my head. So eager to please. I lean my head back and rest for a bit. It is then sleep takes over. |

OMEGA: Finally I finish my task... well, at least the task of cleaning the walls. Without her input on which items are which, I'm not sure if there's anything that needs to be put away or thrown out. She has it arranged the way she needs it, I suppose. I head up to the indicated room, and look out onto the balcony. She's there, head tilted back as she sleeps. I carefully go around to the side opposite her cane, out of arm's reach. Not sure how she'd react to being awakened, especially in so dangerous an area? Then I clear my throat. "Ma'am? Wake up; I've finished cleaning..." |

SIGHT JACK: I am still a little groggy when Omega wakes me up. I feel a little ashamed to have fallen asleep here. Not the wisest thing I ever done but the night air felt so cool and I had only plan to ‘rest my eyes’ so to speak. I jerk up and snort a bit. “Hu? Oh… Hey. You sure took some time for just a little mess.” I gave a whistle and Kafka runs to me. “Ok boy how’d he do.” I give a moment to scratch the dog behind the ears. “He What!? You cleaned the entire place? Well that was really nice.” As I pet Kafka I do a quick scan of the area. Everything is calm for now but a patrol is starting to head this way. I get up and move more towards the shadows. Should they come this way it would be harder to see us. I give a stretch and yawn. “oooooookkk… about your training.” I had to think fast. I had fallen asleep before I could come up with anything that sounded remotely like I knew what I was doing. I then remembered him saying something about mockery. He really didn’t like it when I laughed at him. I had just the perfect assignment to get him to lighten up. “Your first task is to play a practical joke on me. I‘d say you have until tomorrow night to fulfill it. ” I started heading down stairs. “there is a patrol heading this way. I wouldn’t worry too much. They don’t check inside these old buildings that often just keep your eyes and ears open. You have the first watch. About midnight wake me up and I’ll take second.” |

OMEGA: I give a small shrug. "Cleaning one spot made the rest of it look less clean, so I cleaned it all. Wasn't that what I was supposed to do?" Then I follow her back into the shadowed area; blue and black, with the dark greens and blues I favor as clothing colors, will blend me in even better than her. Then she gives me my assignment. I blink in puzzlement. "A... practical joke?! From what I have heard of jokes, their point is to be impractical..." Then I nod. "Ah, so find a way to be humorous, with it being helpful at the same time! A most challenging intellectual task, ma'am." <Tag!> OOC: That zooming sound you just heard, is the concept going right over Omega's head...

((ooc: lol that is just funny. I love it.)) SIGHT JACK: I stop halfway down the stairs in a jerk. What did he just say? I look over my shoulder slightly. “You didn’t play much with the other kids growing up did you? Aw never mind. I am off to sleep.” I head back to the kitchen, take a few pills to help me sleep and lay down on my bed roll. Kafka curls up next to me and rest his head on my hip. I could have corrected him about the meaning of practical joke but I was a little curious to see where this would go. I cracked a smile when I thought about calling this young apprentice Funny Man Omega because he can always make you smile. I also had to think about the legions future. That made me smile less. How am I going to bring the legion back with only myself and Funny Man Omega. I gave a sigh and tried to sleep |

OMEGA: "There were no other kids?" I answer, puzzled. "Father had to keep me in isolation with him, otherwise the mobs would come after us." I frown as she leaves, then take up a place in the corner's shadows to keep watch against the patrols... <Tag!> Carrie-OOC: I was just thinking of Jeff Dunham and Peanut, with Peanut zipping his hand just over his head with a zooming sound to indicate that someone didn't get the idea. |

((OOC: I love that comedian.)) ![]() SIGHT JACK: It was about one o’clock when I woke up. In my groggy state I forced Kafka to look at my watch so I could see what time it was. I groaned when I realized Omega hadn’t woken me up at 12. I lurched up and put some coffee on. I did a quick scan of the aria and found Omega still on the third floor looking out the window. I got my cup of coffee and headed up that way. . “Changing of the guards. You can get some sleep now.“ I said tapped him on the shoulder. ((OOC: I made little portraits of our characters. I have played forum rpg’s where people would post up the portrait of the character they were playing at the time. I always thought it made the game more interesting. Here is one for Omega. Tell me if you like it. There is a bigger one on the character list on the first page. If you don't like it I'll take it off.)) Edited by Kittykaboom, Jul 9 2009, 02:22 AM.

OMEGA: I looked up from the Omnicom, and winced... how could I let the time get away from me like this? "I -- I was checking on the meaning of practical jokes, ma'am. And I cannot complete the assignment." I stand and turn to face her. "It is a soldier's duty to obey orders, but that duty is not an excuse to obey illegal or immoral orders. And humiliating my superior officer, while it parhaps may not be illegal -- it is certainly against my morals." "Whatever punishment you deem necessary, I'll take it ma'am." I conclude. <Tags!> OOC-1: Great pic! I'll try to change my avatar on here to it. OOC-2: Why don't you reply to this and we skip to the next day, so that (hopefully?) some of the other players might jump in?

![]() SIGHT JACK: “hu? Superior morals or something… Oh hun I just woke up. Its too early.” I gave a big yawn and scratched the back of neck. “Wait? I get it. You are just tell me this so I’ll let my guard down. Very clever. I look forward to seeing what prank you come up with. In the mean time get some sleep. We‘ll talk more in the morning.” Omega was probably being sincere about not wanting to play a practical joke on me but I wasn’t going to let him off that easy. Maybe I felt he needed to loosen up a bit or maybe I just like messing with him too much. I just hoped when he finally figured out what I have been doing to him, he would forgive me. ((OOC: I’m for skipping to the next day. I don’t know if anyone will jump in. I haven’t gotten any new request to join. I might have to do another announcement in the yahoo forums. )) |

OMEGA: I look aside, ashamed. She thinks I'm lying? Then what point is there in my being here, if not even she can trust me?! "...yes, ma'am." I mumble, and hurry inside to curl up in the corner. Unbidden, tears come to my eyes and I try to wipe them away before she notices... |
