Hanna F. Cross

[December means snowmen!!

So that's exactly what Hanna's doing today, building a small army of snowmen outside his apartment building with his puppies.

Of course, he's looking a bit peakish, coughing every so often. He's still suffering from the magical side affects that come from fighting off vampires, even if that was only a few days ago...]

Okay, gang, we're gonna need to go find some sticks for arms...now, it's gonna be hard to find em, what with all the snow, so we're grouping up to g--

[He stops with a rather nasty violent cough, which goes for a minute too long to be considered normal. He wipes some blood away from his mouth when he's done, and he smiles at the puppies, who just look confused.]

Hehe, sorry gang. Okay, now let's go get some arms for the snowmen!

[It’s been an exciting day for Hanna.
Ever since the puppies opened their eyes and started taking their first steps, he’s had his hands full. The kids outnumber him and seem to have twice the amount of energy they did a week or so ago…so they’ve basically got free run of the house as Hanna chases after them, trying to grab all 15 of them for a late lunch, the result of him oversleeping. Lassie’s managed to get 3 of the kids under control and in their bed, and Iznagi’s got one on his back. Hanna has to stop running around for a moment, catching his breath, smiling at the sheep and the dog. Lassie barks, sounding almost sympathetic. Through the kids, she and Hanna have reached some sort of truce, almost getting along now.]

Oh…okay, that’s 3 in bed, Little Sam’s with Iznagi…I think it’s Penny, Freckles, and Gawain in bed…that leaves…uh…

[He frowns, counting on his fingers for a minute, before nodding to himself.]

That’s 11 that are still on the ru—HEY!! Sophie, get back here with that, the remote is not food! Teethe on something soft and…and not electronic!!

[He immediately runs off after another puppy, who appears to be chewing on the tv remote as she passes by. He returns a minute later, remote in one hand, puppy in the other, depositing her on top of Iznagi, before chasing after another bunch of kids.]

Zoe, Arthur, stop chewing on Castle’s ears!! Tumbles, Morgana, those sheets are not playthings, I need those to sleep on!!

[Running back and forth a few times, grabbing whatever of the puppies he can find, Hanna deposits them in their bed before going after the remaining few.]

C’mon gang, it’s time for lunch, I got food ready and eve—ever…

[Suddenly, Hanna freezes, eyes widening. Something is wrong. There’s a searing burst of pain on his right shoulder…and then he blanks, lurching forward and letting out a sharp cry of pain, grabbing onto his shoulder before collapsing on the ground, writhing slightly. In jerky, manic movements, he tries to get up a few times, but ultimately, this all fails, and he remains on the floor, clutching his shoulder in pain, unable to do anything but moan and writhe slightly.]

Shit….shitshitshitshitshiiiit…not now, this can’t happen noooOWGAHD, hurts…Worth. Gotta…gotta find Worth, he’ll fix this…

[Somehow, amongst all the chaos and excitement, one of Hanna’s major stitches had loosened and come out, causing stress on the others that could cause them to come out as well if not fixed ASAP. Not to mention the pain that losing one of them is causing him…but Hanna won’t see a doctor. Not a legal doctor…
…And the only doctor that’s able to properly take care of the problem isn’t in the City…but Hanna doesn’t seem to remember that.]

[ooc: :D Aaand I am back!! It was a nice vacation, quiet, rained a bit, toxic algae in the water made swimming impossible, but it was great! And what better way to celebrate a vacation done well than to put Hanna through extreme pain?! :3 I’m terrible.
He’ll be okay, just get him to a back-alley doctor. I know Worth isn’t here (but if that changed in the near future, that’d be epic), but I think by this point, anybody who isn’t legally allowed to practice medicine will do. Or somebody who gets magic. Or both.

Also, I have finished naming the puppies! They are as followed:
Girls: Zoe, Sophie, Penny, Freckles, Morgana, Aluna, Castle
Boys: Arthur, Gawain, Little Sam, Jareth, Zeroni, Alexander, Calcifer, Tumbles

…I watched a lot of movies over vacation. ‘Labyrinth’ and ‘Howl’s Moving Castle’ were just 2 of them. Also, you remind me of the babe.]

Yesterday...

...Yesterday was really, REALLY weird. I mean...I am never ever going to look at nursery rhymes the same way again.

I mean...the Sandman? REALLY?

I think I'm going to be afraid to sleep for the next few days...or go near water...or look at spiders...or anything like that, really.

I think I'm just going to stay inside for a little while and watch Godzilla movies. Those always make me feel good.
Anybody care to join me? I just got Godzilla vs Mothra on DVD, so it looks AMAZING!

Di Di gets a seat of honor though, since she almost got her arm chopped off yesterday. Yeah, I don't think I'm gonna be able to go near axes for a while either.
Actually, Veser gets one too, since he spent all day up a tree.

Oh, and I think I need to do some more practice...it's sorta scary when you're trying to defend yourself and you aren't able to do anything.
Not just magic practice, though...like, actual physical training. Justine, you said something about a dojo or something at some point, right? Got any more info on that?


[PRIVATE TO ZUKO//UNHACKABLE]

Thanks for yesterday, Zuko. You didn't have to come and gimme a hand, but you did, and that was cool.

I wanna learn more about this bending stuff!

I mean, even if I can't do it, it was still really, REALLY cool...and I can show you some magic stuff in exchange, deal?

I know some really neat water tricks, and some cool light tricks too...you're gonna love it, I can try to teach you some if you want? I mean, I'm not a good teacher, but...

[PRIVATE TO {...}//UNHACKABLE]

We can go shirt shopping later, if you'd like...and...well, thank you, you really saved my butt out there yesterday.

...and...well, I had this really bad dream yesterday...and it made me think about some things, so...well, there's something I need to ask you.

If/when you get your memory back...are you gonna leave...?

Cuz it's sorta selfish of me, but I don't want you to...

You guys, this is the...best curse ever. This is seriously even better than the dragon, and the dragon was really friggen cool, so THIS...

[Hanna is clearly excited by the tone in his voice, and his rapid speech.]

I didn't even know there were any pictures from home floating around! I mean, Conrad's good with a camera and all but he's not over much so...but this is great!! You guys can see my friends!

[Hanna makes a 'gnee' like noise, and fiddles around with his device, mumbling something about 'getting the most appropriate pics', before returning.]

Ok, this is Balthazar. Aka, my best friend and zombie roommate. And this is us together after I got him that epic fedora for Christmas.

Oooh, this is my doctor, Worth. Ok, he's not licensed, but he does a good job, and I trust him! He's also got a really neato coat.
dunno where he got that saw, though...

[Hanna makes a small 'eh' noise, before a soft flipping sound is heard, as he sorts through his pictures. He finds one and makes another 'gnee'.]

Hey, there are some from last winter in here!! Wow, we didn't even bring a camera, these shouldn't exist! Cool!!

Look, this is me and Daxton sledding! And heres Connie and me during that snowball fight! Connie doesn't like getting his picture taken, since he can't really show up in them anymore, being a vampire and all....

So the fact that these exist, is so...soo....Gnee!

[Hanna laughs, and makes another flipping noise as he goes through the pictures. His laugh cuts off immediately at one of them, and when he speaks again, he's nervous. In his nervousness, he accidentally leaks the photo without realizing it, before moving on.]

Eh... Ok, another happy one. Breakfast time!

Hobbes likes to cook, so he usually makes breakfast...but the first time he tried, it didn't go over too well...don't tell him I said that though.

But his second time, he got those pancakes absolutely perfect!! I even got him an apron!

Oooh, and heres me doing magic practice!!


Aw man...good times...


[He sighs quietly, pushing a few buttons to see what happens. He leaks a few other photos wihtout realizing it, including one he didn't even look at, and thinks he turns off his communicator before letting out a sad sigh.]

...I really miss him...I miss all of them...



[ooc: Ok, sorry for the long post! Ok, here are the leaked photos: 1, 2, 3 and 4]
