RP - Awakening (Locked to those who know about immortality)

[on_holy_ground]

I am unsure how it is that I have come to be back in this place.

I remember the men that came into the church and how they would not listen to me try to talk them out of the great wrong they were committing, not just on me, but on so many others. I remember how they were so intent upon my destruction and felt I was an abomination, for no reason other than the fact that I was different from them. I remember the sword that would take my head from my body, and with it my life, and then I remember nothing more.

Why am I here once again?

ooc: Meeting Wesley.

I can not say, but I am certainly glad to see you again.

Are You back at St. Juliens?

[on-holy-ground.livejournal.com]

It is good to see you as well my friend.

Would I be anywhere else if I could help it?

[reallyoldguy.livejournal.com]

Paris is not too far. Perhaps...

There is someone I would like for you to meet, my friend.

[on-holy-ground.livejournal.com]

*soft laugh* I am well aware of your feelings regarding Paris.

You know that friend of yours is someone that I would be most interested in meeting.

I'm living in the bloody colonies now. It is a bit of a hop, skip and a jump. But we are vacationing on the proper side of the pond.

He is something more than a friend.

[on-holy-ground.livejournal.com]

As I recall, it's been a very long while since you've had anyone that was 'more than a friend', unless of course I missed something while I was *there is a slight pause* gone.

[reallyoldguy.livejournal.com]

Actually, I married my 69th wife but she was mortal and is gone.

Wesley is one of us.

[on-holy-ground.livejournal.com]

One of us? Well if that is the case, then I really will have to meet the person who could manage such a thing.

[reallyoldguy.livejournal.com]

He would be honored to meet you as well.

He's heard stories.

[on-holy-ground.livejournal.com]

Did he hear them from you?

[reallyoldguy.livejournal.com]

Very few.

He was a Watcher, the other branch.

Is, I suppose I should say.

OOC: This was locked to a small population, so I'm going with the assumption that only a few could read this hence Methos' candor.

[on-holy-ground.livejournal.com]

That makes more sense as I doubted that you of all people would have said much.

[reallyoldguy.livejournal.com]

Oh, I say a great many things.

It is just what I say that is a matter of interpretation.

[on-holy-ground.livejournal.com]

*soft chuckle* I should have been more specific perhaps and mentioned that you would not say much that was actually based in fact.

[reallyoldguy.livejournal.com]

Don't make me go Old Ben Kenobi on you, Darius.

[on-holy-ground.livejournal.com]

Is this some alias of yours that I am not yet aware of or have forgotten? It sounds vaguely familiar, but I can't quite place it.

[reallyoldguy.livejournal.com]

Think light sabers. Sir Alec Guinness. Me relocating half my flat into St Julien's one weekend because someone couldn't bother to get with the twentieth century and purchase a television?

It is the twenty first century now, you realize. You have corrected that over sight finally. Yes?

[on-holy-ground.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, I recall now. You forced me to watch several hours of some nonsense about a cosmic force and a boy who was apparently in love with his own sister for a time.

And you wonder why I don't have television.

[reallyoldguy.livejournal.com]

How long have you been with the Catholic Church now? One might think those would be two matters you would be conditioned to not notice at this point. Nonsense. Incest. Hypocrisy. But no. No no no.

[on-holy-ground.livejournal.com]

*laughs* I tend to keep to myself within the church as you well know, and besides, I learned about all of those things long before the advent of television or even the Catholic church. I just prefer to deal with the real thing rather than to watch movies about them in my 'free time'.

[reallyoldguy.livejournal.com]

...that wasn't actually the point of the movie. Movies.

I rather think I know what I'm getting you for Christmas.

[on-holy-ground.livejournal.com]

You mean they had an actual point?

Let me guess what that might be given the conversation.

[reallyoldguy.livejournal.com]

Actually, the point of the movies and the relevance of their reference to the conversation are a far cry from one another. Obi-Wan Kenobi was just a devious bastard. At least since episode II, which you missed, what with being dead.

..how did that work out for you?

Or is that a conversation better left until we meet in person?

We shall arrive Tuesday afternoon. Just the two of us, I think, as that our daughter is not the sort to be entertained by Churches or priests.

[on-holy-ground.livejournal.com]

I think perhaps we should talk about that when you get here, if there is time.

*pause* Daughter?

Or is that a conversation better left until we meet in person?

[reallyoldguy.livejournal.com]

There is much we can start to talk about in person.

And then there is email and the like.

At least you have a computer.

I may be thankful for that.

[on-holy-ground.livejournal.com]

I can be taught.

*chuckles* Unlike some.
