Logfile from Brass&Steel. Ada enters from the outside landing. Ada curls up on the couch. Zach curls up around Ada. The current time in Kansas City is 06:07 AM, Fri Sep 06, 2002. Ada purrs. "How've you been?" Zach cuddles. "Oh I've been ok, sweet. How have /you/ been?" Ada says, "I've been all right. Took a vacation for a while, went back to the East Coast to see some old friends. I wish I could have told people, but it was sort of a last-minute thing." Zach smiles and tousles her hair. "No worries, hon. Spontaneous trips are often the best." Ada nods! Ada kisses Zach's cheek. "Missed you, though." You say, "Aww... I missed you too, sugarlips.." Ada meeps and blushes faintly. "Sugarlips?" Zach just smiles and kisses her. "Seen Hachilah lately?" Ada purrs! Ada says, "Not... lately, no." Zach frowns slightly. "Hmm.. I worry about her. I'm gonna have to go look for her." Ada says, "You could better than I, love." You say, "Hm?" Ada kisses Zach back. "There are places you can go that I can't. You say, "Oh, like that. Yeah there is." Zach frowns again an mutters something sounding like "Damn balseraph..." Ada hmm? "What's that? Zach sighs. "That bal's been after Hachilah, and he's been hurting her from what I've managed to find out. I need to find her so I can help her out." Ada says, "No, what's a balseraph?" You say, "Eh? Oh. I thought they'd taught you about all that. It's a type of demon. Real nasty." Ada shakes her head. "I know all about angels... but... nobody ever told me about demons." Zach looks a tad surprised. "Oh. Right. Umm... Maybe you're not supposed to get tagled up in all that. Did your..er..dad ever say anything about that?" Ada shakes her head. "I think he just got distracted." Zach bites his lip and looks a bit uncomfortable. "I'm kinda reluctant to drag you into all this stuff since you're so special... I mean it's real dangerous, and I'd hate to step over the line with Orc and Jean. That would be bad. Maybe I shouldn't have asked for your help in digging up dirt on Szabo.." He looks worried and hugs Ada closer. Ada presses herself against Zach, nuzzling his throat. "It's okay. Not like I belong to them. They're not that proud." Zach thinks to himself that that's fine for her to say, since she's not the one who'd get an angry kyrio of Lightning visiting her telly, but keeps his mouth shut on that.:) "Right... Maybe not. Ok, a balseraph is a broken seraph. Instead of living the Truth of the Symphony, they make their own "truths" and try to impose them on their surroundings. They can /make/ you belive anything they say, just like they themselves belive it." Ada giggles. Ada eep. "That could cause problems." Ada curls up tighter. Zach nods. "It does. The biggest and the baddest of them all is the former Morningstar himself. Out dear professor Szabo is but a weak shadow of him, but is able to cause plenty of trouble nonetheless." Ada nods. Ada says, "I'll keep an eye out." Ada kisses Zach carefully. Zach happily answers her kiss gently. "I had a talk with him a coupla days ago, but it resulted in nothing. Next time I'll bring my axe." Ada giggles softly. "You have an axe?" Zach nods. "Yes I do. Not that I need it, but I kinda like axes. They're cool." Ada says, "What kind is it?" Zach chuckles. "It's a gloriously red fireaxe. It's over there inside the closet." Ada laughs out loud. "I love you." Zach grins and cuddles her. "I love you too, hon." Ada kisses Zach's cheek. "I bet it goes nicely with your pants." Zach kisses the top of her head. "Yeah, it does. Say, did you read that piece in the papers about the dragon?" Ada says, "I glanced at it. Why?" You say, "The 'dragon' and the professor are one and the same." Ada oh. Ada kisses Zach again. "You'll beat him." Ada giggles softly. "Kick his scaly butt outta town. Zach nods confidently. "I will. And the sooner the better. In his corporeal form he's a wimp. Celestially he's a real bad mother.. Just means I have to cream him before he can go celetial on me again." Ada nods. "Hence the axe." You say, "Exactement." Zach eeks. His Dark Secret of being a Mike-groupie is out!! 08-o Ada giggles! Zach blushes! (And accidentally matches his axe and pants.) Ada kisses your cheeks. ;) Zach lifts Ada into his lap and cuddles some more. Ada ooh! and links her ankles behind Zach's back. "So tell me something I don't know about you." Zach err.. And scratches his chin. "Um. Like what?" He grins. Ada giggles. "Favorite color? Something like that. But I can guess your favorite color." Zach chuckles. "Yeah, I guess you can. I like bright yellow too though. And that closet there is going to be a homage to you.." He fondles one of Ada's locks. Ada purrs softly. "You're sweet." Zach snugs. Ada kisses Zach lightly. Zach smiles and shifts them both into a more comfortable position. "So did you have fun on your trip back east?" Ada leans forward, her head on Zach's shoulder. "I did. Saw a lot of friends I haven't seen for years." Zach strokes har back and nudges her head gently with his chin. "That's good. You rally needed a break from this town. It ain't good to stay in one place for too long without breaks." Ada nods. Ada says, "I'll drink to that." Zach grins and snogs her on her ear. "That's my girl!" Ada meeps. :) Zach lifts Ada over to sit on the coach. "Before I forget, I gotta give you a key so you can visit whenever you like." He rises and moves over to his toolbox. Ada oof. "Oh, thank you!" Zach opens the box and flips open a secret compartment within. He fishes out a spare key and hands it over to Ada. "Here you go, princess. The key to my flat. You already have to one for my heart, I belive..." Ada smiles and puts the key in her pocket. "Thank you, my dear Virtue." Zach winces and grins. Someone raised Ada too well.:) Zach kisses Ada. "Look hon, I gotta go do some work. You stay here as long as you like, ok?" Zach is off...
