Open.

Alec rebuilt the Inn.

It was ridiculously easy. He just went to the Inn Space and gestured. And there it was. Better than before too. He really didn't need to gesture. But it was more dramatic if he did. Even if no one was there to see him. There really should be someone around to see him. To watch him do his thing. He supposed someone was there... somewhere. But he did it anyway. It was easy, for a Gary Stu.

His arm was healed. Because Gary Stus didn't have injuries like that. He was also taller, and handsome -instead of pretty- because Gary Stus weren't pretty. That was Mary Sues. He thought about finding a Mary Sue. But decided against it. She would only steal his lime light. He was stronger, lean with muscle and a six pack of abs. His hair was fantastic instead of that messy dull black. Instead of the mud brown eyes, they were now deeply dark brown that seemed to gleam with the power and secrets of the multiverse, causing anyone who looked into them too long to get endless lost and feel hopelessly small and weak.

He cast his mind about on what to do next. He could do anything. He was a Gary Stu.

He found Jono. It was easy. He knew exactly where to look. He held the little globe of Jono had been and put it on the mantle piece. It looked nice there, he decided.

Alec wanted to do more though. He had all this power. He could do anything. Perhaps he could cure Leela's blindness. That was a thought. Or save Mel from Orochi and banish all the bad memories. Easy. But those were such small things. He needed something bigger to do.

He studied the little globe of Jono thoughtfully and came up with a brilliant idea.

He would bring his family back to life. Easy. He could do that. What was life and death to a Gary Stu such as him?

He started to walk out of the Inn to where they were buried, but something stopped him. Something inside of him screamed in sheer and utter dispairing panic.

He ended up on the floor curled up, muttering to himself. "Stop me... gods oh gods... somebody please stop me!"

Mel has a sort of... 'oh, fuck' sense. It's stronger when it's people she knows.

Melinda hadn't seen Alec most of that day. And she felt a sort of... strange, bad feeling in her gut. Not in the 'you're going to die' sense, not in the fact that one of her enemies would find her, but in the fact that something very bad had happened.

She heads to the Inn. She stops when she sees that it looks better than it did before.

Melinda heads to the door, quickly, dread building the closer she got.

Alec is curled on the floor, by the door (that no longer squeeks when opened). He's not dressed as he usually was, in jeans and a tunic top or that rag tag armor. He's wearing a leather duster jacket, with black jeans and black boots. He doesn't notice Mel come in so intent on the muttering of "Stop me... stop me...godsohgods..."

[identity profile] sthenyaer.livejournal.com 2006-10-07 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
What the hell. Mel is suddenly right next to him, carefully wrapping her arms around him. "Alec? Alec, come on. It's Mel. What the hell happened?" she asks, biting her lip.

[identity profile] elementwizard.livejournal.com 2006-10-07 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
His body posture changes immidetely, as soon as she touches him. He straightens out and stops babbling to himself. Sitting up he smiles confidently at Mel. It's a different sort of smile than usual. It doesn't belong on his face. "Mel! You're Here! Wonderful!"

[identity profile] sthenyaer.livejournal.com 2006-10-07 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
This isn't good. Mel thinks to herself. "Yeah. Yeah, I'm here. Alec, what happened?" she repeats.

[identity profile] elementwizard.livejournal.com 2006-10-07 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
He stands up, using both of his arms. He looks great. Fantastic even. To die for. Just the sort of guy that you really, really want to kiss. "Nothing. Nothing at all. Just fixing a couple of things here and there. Just rebuilt the Inn from scratch. Added a couple of things while I was at it."

He runs a hand through his hair, and it's the sort of movement that causes girls' hearts to start going pitter patter faster. He grins back at Mel.

[identity profile] sthenyaer.livejournal.com 2006-10-07 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Mel's heart does not go pitter patter. She notices how he uses both arms, and she thinks oh, fuck. "Oh? What things?"

[identity profile] elementwizard.livejournal.com 2006-10-07 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Alec claps his hands together, and walks over to the mantle "Well I found Jono... Dale lost him. But I found him. It was rather easy, I don't see how he could have stayed missing for so long. Put him up on the mantle here. Doesn't it look nice?"

He leans against the mantle still smiling that wrong smile and looking incredibly sexy while he was at it. Very cool. The height of cool even.

[identity profile] sthenyaer.livejournal.com 2006-10-07 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Melinda looks over at Jono. "Aah. It does."

Ha ha ha what the fuck. Mel usually doesn't swear this much, even in her head, unless she's really happy, scared, or angry. Or, when something like this happens.

He then returns to Mel and drapes an arm around her. He's taller than her now. By a good foot, he's taller than her. "Then I was thinking about curing Leela's blindness... or something like that, but then ..." He holds out his other hand as if he's gesturing to something wonderful and important. "I came up with the most brilliant idea ever!"

[identity profile] sthenyaer.livejournal.com 2006-10-07 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, who caused this, or what, so Mel can kill them. Mel blinks. "Leela's blind?" she says, and then considers trying to flee from Alec.

"Oh? What brilliant idea?"

[identity profile] elementwizard.livejournal.com 2006-10-07 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Alec has a good grip on her, she's not going anywhere while he has his hand on her. "Yes, she is. Something happened to her... over extended her powers or something," he shrugs disinterestedly. "But back to me and my brilliant idea. I'm going to resurrect my family."

If anyone had known Alec for any lenghth of time, they would know, that to him, normally, that was impossible. He didn't have power over life and death. It was one of the few powers that he absolutely refused to allow himself to have. It was too Stuish.

[identity profile] sthenyaer.livejournal.com 2006-10-07 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
See, Mel doesn't like being trapped. She tries to squrim out of his grasp, upper lip starting to sweat. "Oh. Fixing her eyes might be a good thing. Wait, what? You can't do that, though!" She tries to pry his arm off her.

[identity profile] elementwizard.livejournal.com 2006-10-08 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
Alec throws his arms out into an all encompassing gesture. "Of COURSE I can! I can do anything!" he declares to the world at large.

[identity profile] sthenyaer.livejournal.com 2006-10-08 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
"What the hell happened to you? You're not like this!" As soon as he lets her go, Mel is gone. She's making a break for the door of the Inn.

[identity profile] elementwizard.livejournal.com 2006-10-08 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
He's in front of her.

"Where you going Mel? Aren't you going to stay for the party?" He's looming now, dangerous. There's a hint of anger in his eyes. How dare she run off on him!

[identity profile] sthenyaer.livejournal.com 2006-10-08 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
Mel yelps in fear. This dredged up, reopened a wound that hadn't even really scabbed over yet. (red eyes and whispering and lighting striking) "Alec, snap OUT of it NOW!" she yells, feeling her own anger start to boil.

[identity profile] elementwizard.livejournal.com 2006-10-08 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
"Snap out of it? Snap out of what? Mel, darling, I feel fine. I feel great. I feel better than I have in ages. There's nothing to snap out of." He tilts his head staring at her with those eyes of his, the not normal gods I'm so powerful and you are nothing, eyes of his. "You're the one who's acting strange."

[identity profile] sthenyaer.livejournal.com 2006-10-08 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
Well, she thinks, if it worked once, it can work again. Mel says "Alec, I'm sorry," and then she kicks him in a spot where very few beings ever wish to be kicked.

[identity profile] elementwizard.livejournal.com 2006-10-08 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
He crumples to the floor with a startled cry. "You little BITCH!" he manages to snarl out.

[identity profile] sthenyaer.livejournal.com 2006-10-08 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
Mel winces, and then, she's running quickly to any door that isn't near Alec. She yanks it open, with a special flick of her wrist, and after she steps through, she's in her realm.

[identity profile] elementwizard.livejournal.com 2006-10-08 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
It takes him a minute, but he gets up on his feet. "That little bitch. That fucking little bitch. I'll kill her!" He gasps out, leaning against the door frame. He knew where she went. It would just take a little bit of effort to get there.

Her realm was no barrier to him. He could do anything. But first... he'd let her stew. Let her wait in fear for his coming.

Leela was out walking. *tap tap* her cane went back and forth on the path down to the lakeside. She had no clue that she'd accidently stepped off her land and through a portal to another land altogether. Slowly she became aware of the sounds, subtlely different from her home. Then the air itself, a bit warmer perhaps, a bit more alive.

"Oh oh. What the hell did I do this time? Where am I?

[identity profile] elementwizard.livejournal.com 2006-10-08 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
Alec had been, well, fumming since Mel had left. He had been plotting all sorts of intersting things to do to her when he got his hands on her. But his ears caught the noise of someone outside the Inn. Curious, he went to go see.

"Leela!" he practically purred out, "How good to see you!"

[identity profile] leela1.livejournal.com 2006-10-08 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
Wow, now that voice sounded familiar. Oh no. It - no the universe could not be that messed up.

"Um, Alec? Is that you?" Stepping back once, then one more little step back again.

[identity profile] elementwizard.livejournal.com 2006-10-08 06:39 am (UTC)(link)
"Of course it is!" He puts an arm around her. "I was just thinking about you. And here you are. The universe must love me... but of course it does."




((he will cure her blindness, unless you stop him.))

[identity profile] leela1.livejournal.com 2006-10-08 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
She pets his arm with her hand, then slowly moves out of the shelter of his arm and away from him. "Of course the universe loves you. And me too apparently. So look, why don't you show me the way to get home from here, and I'll buy you a drink."

((gotcha! Will stop him *looks at pup* somehow *g*))

[identity profile] elementwizard.livejournal.com 2006-10-08 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
He puts his arm back around her, "Why buy me a drink? I can give you a drink here. The Inn is fully stocked, just waiting for someone to come by and drink." There's something about his voice that's compelling, smooth and charming. Everything about him is like that. Definately not like normal, rag-tag Alec.

[identity profile] leela1.livejournal.com 2006-10-08 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
Mmmm, nice. Warm and charismatic, his voice seemed to lull the senses. Which is exactly what was wrong with it. "You know, that sounds great. But first, please Alec, for my sake? Can we find the vortex out of here?" Her mind working furiously, Leela decides to try honey instead of vinigar to get out of this particular trap.

She leans into his shoulder, and nibbles at her lower lip. "Please Alec? I'd hate to ruin a drink with a good friend by worrying so much. Can you help me?"

[identity profile] elementwizard.livejournal.com 2006-10-08 07:05 am (UTC)(link)
Gary Stus love helping lovely lost ladies. It's like it's hard wired into their brains to help them. Usually in return for sex. But then again, everything about Gary Stus is about fighting or sex. Or generally being too cool for anyone else.

Leela is lovely a lady and lost. Of course he wants to help her.

"It's easy, Leela, you just need to turn around and walk with your destination in mind," he says.

[identity profile] leela1.livejournal.com 2006-10-08 07:24 am (UTC)(link)
She gives him a hug and a kiss on the cheek, because let's face it, he deserves it for helping her. "Turn this way? Over here?" Tap, tap taps, as she thinks about it, really wanting the hell out of there. Tap, tap she gets a little further away, and miracle of miracles she hasn't run into a tree yet.

"Take care of yourself Alec. And I'll see you later, ok? Just remembered, I left the stove on hon. Can't drink today."

[identity profile] elementwizard.livejournal.com 2006-10-08 07:43 am (UTC)(link)
He watches her go, frowning, wondering if he should stop her. He wants to stop her... but, he's not sure he wants to actually have to deal with her right then. "Alright. I'll hold you to that," he calls out.
