[ visual | location: Sookie's house ] be just fine and dandy lord it's like a hard candy christmas

[lajolieblonde.livejournal.com]

Sookie's Christmas was the first she's ever spent alone. It's hard, missing the people she left back in Bon Temps (Lord help her, she misses Bill; heartbreak can't seem to erase what she feels for him. Felt for him. Oh, fine, it's the first.)

But Lord knows she's had enough moping, and it's not in her nature anyway. Instead, she's taken it on herself to clean the house she took over top to bottom, the project keeping her mind from dwelling on the lingering uncertainty, sadness.

She slips on some water and the teapot in her hands goes flying, crashing against the wall and shattering into a million pieces. It was nothing, just a nice little flowered thing she got for herself around the holidays. But as her knees crash to the floor and starbursts of pain run up her legs, that teapot seems like the last straw.

Without thinking about it, she stretches out her hand and light arcs out, and the pieces are dust, now. She slumps down, resting her hands on her knees and hanging her head. "Oh, hell." There's a small beep and either her power turned the tablet on or her luck is just that awful, because when Sookie looks up it's recording her slumped defeat and she quickly scrambles off her knees-- not completely being able to hold back a tiny moan of pain as she does so-- to flip it off.

[ while angel's attention was admittedly more on whatever that power display had been, he's sensible enough to speak up with concern for her person and not question what she'd just done. ]

Sookie, are you okay?

[ she's not quite sure what angel saw-- the power, her anger, her defeated posture afterwards-- so sookie pastes on a determinedly positive smile and nods, standing. ]

Just fine, thank you. I slipped and broke my teapot and bruised my knees alongside my pride, but nothin' else is dinged up.

Looked like a little bit more than that from where I'm standing.

[ and yes, by that, he means her powers. this would be his subtle way of saying she just displayed them across the tablets. ]

Just missin' home is all, don't you worry about it.

[ she's going to ignore that hint out of hope it's only her imagination. ]

[adeadringer.livejournal.com]

Oh my God - are you all right? [ well, obviously not, elena. ] Are you hurt?

[ voice ]

[lajolieblonde.livejournal.com]

I'm just fine, don't worry. Little banged up but nothin' that won't keep.

[ ...riiiiiiiiiight. ]

[ voice ]

[adeadringer.livejournal.com]

Even just banging up can get pretty nasty...Are you sure?

[likevegeta.livejournal.com]

Woah.

[ audio ]

[lajolieblonde.livejournal.com]

Excuse me?

[ fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff andrew it's not you, it's the whole 'secret's out' thing. sookie will attempt to feed you forever once she meets you in person. ]

[ audio ]

[likevegeta.livejournal.com]

That thing was awesome!

[ BACKPEDAL ] I - I mean, that was cool!

[voice]

[herotypical]

Yikes -- you don't sound too pleasant. Are you okay?

[voice]

[lajolieblonde.livejournal.com]

Doin' fine, thank you. I might've bruised my knees but that's nothin' new.

[ ...give her a second. ]

I just mean I waitress, is all. Slippin' on things happens.

[voice]

[herotypical]

Right. I may have only waited tables for the unimpressive length of one summer, but I do remember way too much slipping.

[Voice]

[a-pretty-fire.livejournal.com]

You're making a mess.

[But Drusilla, bright eyed and mischievous, was intrigued by the flash of power that had called to her from across the city.]

[Voice]

[lajolieblonde.livejournal.com]

I'm gettin' around to cleanin' it up, not that it's any business of yours.

[ touchy sookie is touchy. ]

[Voice]

[a-pretty-fire.livejournal.com]

Don't you want any help?

[Of course, Drusilla had a very different concept of 'help' to everyone else.]

[ voice ]

[bonescientist.livejournal.com]

T-that light from your hand, it completely... pulverized the ceramic pieces!

[ ...What is tact? Clearly something Brennan doesn't have. ]

[ voice ]

[lajolieblonde.livejournal.com]

I don't have any idea what you're talkin' about.

[ yes. that will work. good plan, sook. ]

[ voice ]

[bonescientist.livejournal.com]

You just... did something with your hand. Something strange that I'm fairly certain is not supposed to be possible.

[ Brennan, you were kidnapped to a foreign planet by hamster aliens. This argument really isn't as valid in Taxon as it is back in D.C. ]

[ visual ]

[faderbroderson]

Not much shocks Godric, but the things that happen in Taxon sometimes make him wonder if the aliens are attempting to win some kind of prize for disturbing his calm. Sookie's always been a spitfire, but that was new. A glitch? Perhaps. Perhaps not. But that can wait; it isn't Godric's foremost concern.

"Sookie? Are you alright?"

[ visual | locked ] brackets for my poor ded brain ALSO HI ZEE ILU you should come see the new house

[lajolieblonde.livejournal.com]

[ sookie fumbles for the lock before replying. godric and angel can have the truth, but she's being cautious after what happened back in bon temps. caution's a hard-won lesson for this stackhouse. ]

It happened before, when I was really truly terrified. Now I just gotta get really mad, it seems like.

[ she pauses, sighs. ] I'm tellin' people it's a glitch. After what happened I'm just not comfortable with people knowin' about me.

[ visual | locked ] I AM SO THERE :D

[faderbroderson]

"That's very wise. There are people here who should never know about this, Sookie." Godric is relieved that Sookie is cautious enough to pretend this is a temporary affliction, and simultaneously concerned that the Master or Drusilla might have seen this.

"You are uninjured?"

[ voice ] sup secret psychics?

[deniedthesight.livejournal.com]

Miss, are you all right?

[ voice ] oh hay sisterfrand THEY SHOULD START A CLUB

[lajolieblonde.livejournal.com]

Just fine, thanks.

[ voice ] BUT HOW WILL THEY HOLD MEETINGS IF THEY DON'T TALK ABOUT IT?

[deniedthesight.livejournal.com]

Are you sure? It looked as if there was a problem with the electricity.

[ angela...might have seen something and might be curious about it. but since she's not incredibly eager to reveal her own power to anyone here, she won't push. (much.) ]
