But what was he so upset about? It wasn't over nothing.

**Machias Banshee** · 05-05-2002, 05:43 PM

Umm, i dont thik he wanted me to tell everyone...

**Kali** · 05-05-2002, 05:46 PM

Mike: Come on, Mach, we're his family, we deserve to know what's upsetting him.

*everyone nodded in agreement*

**Machias Banshee** · 05-05-2002, 05:49 PM

*She sighed. She was unsure if she should tell, but then she remembered how dangerous keeping secrets could become...*

Okay...Azure's remembering his father, Sal. Did you know that its been TWO YEARS since he was first lost at sea?
*She folded her arms, uneasiness eating at her like butterflies*
Azure had lost his family, and then his home was sold and he had nowhere to go! I've never seen him so sad before...

**Kali** · 05-05-2002, 05:54 PM

*Leo bowed his head* I thought it might be something like that.

So what can we do?

Don: Not much. I think he really does need to be alone right now. And later, we just need to let him know we're here for him.

**Machias Banshee** · 05-05-2002, 05:57 PM

I already told him...Poor kid...he really feels lost without his father around.

**azure turtle** · 05-05-2002, 06:01 PM

*Azure shook his head and snapped out of his slight daze. He let out a soft sigh and began to play with the sand. Suddenly, Azure got an idea. He began to form shapes on the sand, molding it with his hands.*
Hmm...I remember the first time we built a sandcastle, Sal...
*Azure continued to work on his sandcastle, trying to get his mind off of his sorrow*

**Machias Banshee** · 05-05-2002, 06:04 PM

~Aww, that is so sweet... *gets all mushy*~

So we'll just leave him alone for now? I really wish there were some way i could help him feel better...

**Kali** · 05-05-2002, 06:08 PM

Leo: There most likely isn't. The only thing we can do is be here for him.

*Mike opens his mouth*

We just had a party Mike.

*Mike shuts his mouth and pouts*

**Machias Banshee** · 05-05-2002, 06:15 PM

Mike: well, I wasnt thinking that, but maybe show him that, well...even though his Dad's gone, his memories will always be there for him, and we'll always be here for him...

*Skeletoncrew* · 05-05-2002, 06:39 PM

~~Awww...how sweet!~~

*Elsewhere: SC and Eric are cruising down the highway, Pink Floyd in the cd player and Eric at the wheel.*

Eric: So tell me again why you're going to this University in Arkham?

The Miskatonic? Oh I loaned them a few books and its time to pick them up. They've got a rather famous rare occult text collection in their library. People come from around the world to use the references there.

Eric: So what are you, a historian?

*SC shakes her head*
You could call me an occultist. I am intererested in that which is hidden. I want to know about the things most people don't even think about.

Eric: I don't know, it sounds a little dry.

Some of it is. But I enjoy it. Plus it keeps the idiots away. I hate idiots.

Eric: So do I! I've got a couple that work for me...*he grimaced*...those morons have ruined more of my plans!

*SC looks at him sympathetically* So why not fire them and hire some new help?

Eric: Its a little more complicated than that...but I'm on vacation, and I'm spending it with an interesting and beautiful woman, I've got much better things to think about than that!

OOOhhh...flattery will get you everywhere!

*He gives her a sly look* Really?

*SC just smiles and winks at him*

**Kali** · 05-05-2002, 06:56 PM

We can always do that, Mike. After he's had some time alone.

**Machias Banshee** · 05-05-2002, 06:58 PM

Mike: Well, yeah...

*sigh* i feel so sorry for him...I bet if he had something from their home or something of Sal's to call his own, i'd bet he'd feel a whole lot better...

**Kali** · 05-05-2002, 07:00 PM

*Don frowns* Well, we don't know where we could get anything like that. I'm sure Azure has some souvenirs.

**Machias Banshee** · 05-05-2002, 07:03 PM

*rolls her eys exasperatedly* I dont know...I just want to help him feel better, is that so hard?

*she walked away, going to her perch on the cliffs. She looked at the view, relishing the last bits of the precious sunlight, when something caught her eyes...*

What is that? It's right where i left azure...Hmmm, maybe i should go check on him...Yeah.

*She climbed down from the cliffs and made her way to the beach.*

**Kali** · 05-05-2002, 07:16 PM

*Leo sighed* I know how she feels. I want to help Azure, but I don't know how.

These kinds of things are hard to deal with. We just have to be supportive.

**azure turtle** · 05-05-2002, 07:43 PM

(( I didn't think everyone would be so concerned... *sniff, sniff* I feel so loved! *weeps* ))

*Azure continued working diligently on the sand castle. It was growing into quite a spectacle. He didn't even seem to notice how big it had become.*

*enigma-1* · 05-05-2002, 07:49 PM

*walks down the beach, grumbling, shouting over her shoulder* Go home already!

**Machias Banshee** · 05-05-2002, 07:50 PM

*Machias sees someone approcahing Azure, and hurries to see what's going on.*

**azure turtle** · 05-05-2002, 07:54 PM

*Azure is startled by the voice. He turned around to see Enigma standing behind him.*
What?
*Azure gave Enigma an unreadable expression*
I'm not going anywhere until I finish this...
*He went back to working on his sand castle*
