Recharging (open)
Kalypso's favorite place to soak up some rays and cosmic energies was the outer edge of the atmosphere. She had spent the last few hours just floating and recharging her batteries. It was so quiet and so peaceful that one couldn't help to appreciate it and appreciate the view. The Earth looked breathtakingly beautiful from space.

Now that her energy stores were replenished, she needed something else. She formed a telekinetic bubble around herself to keep her clothes from burning up on re-entry and headed back toward New York.

Not too much later she was sitting outside her favorite coffee shop and enjoying a cup of cafe mocha.

	"I am good, Cousin. I am keeping busy with the Avengers and Mother keeps me busy with her business. I was just in the upper atmosphere recharging a bit." She signaled the waitress to come over. "Would you like something?" Kal asked when the waitress arrived. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I will have whatever coffee you are having. I have not had any in three hours." Eli smiles, nodding politely to the waitress. When she leaves, he leans in to speak to Kalypso. "Did I tell you that I have encountered vampires in recent weeks?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You have not," Kal said. "You must tell me all about it. I've only read about them in the archives in Olympia and of course what I have seen in popular culture." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"They are fearsome and powerful creatures. I met others who aided me in battling them and we will be working together in the future to stop them. They are a blight, Kalypso. Horrid creatures that feed from the living." Eli says. "I also met a werewolf. He seemed normal, aside from the werewolf bit." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Is this going to become a full-time thing with you?" she asked. Yes, she worried about him. They were Eternals and very hard to kill, but it didn't mean she didn't worry. "You are having quite the adventures. First hopping through time and different worlds and now fighting vampires and meeting werewolves. I am envious, Cousin." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yes, I believe it is, at least while I set up my other profession. Once that is done, however, I hope to have the capital necessary to travel a lot more." Eli tells her. "You are a member of the Avengers, Cousin. I expect that you will have another amazing story to tell me before too long." he smiles. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You can always have my mother transmute some garbage into gold for you," Kal suggested. "But what is this other profession of which you speak?" "Maybe," she said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Do you think she would be willing? My father gave me a small bit of money when I left, but he also made it clear that I was not to ask for any more." Eli says.

"I will need much capital to get started on my plan. I have been studying many books on fashion. I want to design clothing. Men's clothing, women's clothing...I want to be mentioned in the same breath as people like Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger and Versace. Even Ralph Lauren." he tells her.

"And, I would like to be able to design clothing for my beautiful cousin as well." Eli smiles.

	"Of course she would," Kal said. Sersi could be a nightmare to some, but to most she was always helpful. "You're family. Part of the side we like." She gave him a wink. "I know you'll be a famous designer someday." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I certainly hope so, Kalypso. We have the rest of our lives before us and there is so much we can see and be and learn and do. I would like to try this first. Perhaps, at some point, I will take a vow of silence for a decade or two, just to see if I can do it." Eli says.

"But, if I can make clothing that people will wear, I will consider than accomplishment." he says.

	"You're not allowed to do that, Cousin. I could not bear the thought of going a decade or two without talking with you," she told him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Give it a decade or two and you might change your mind." he grins in jest. "You could always take a vow of silence with me. We could see who would be the first to crack." Eli suggests. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kalypso laughed. "You would surely win. I cannot keep quiet for long." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Eli laughs. "So...if i could find a giant stone or two for your mother, do you think she could solve my monetary issues?" he asks. "I am told that the prices of gold and silver are very good these days." Eli says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2011-04-29 03:58 am UTC (link)
	"She can turn anything into gold," Kal said. "So it doesn't matter what you give her. The prices are very good right now. Gold is at an all time high. The economy is pretty bad." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Good to know. I will find enough so that she is not overtaxed on my behalf." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2011-04-29 04:58 am UTC (link)
	"The problem isn't overtaxing, Mother. The problem will be keeping her from going overboard." Sersi got /enthusiastic/ about things. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	blinkandmissme 2011-04-30 02:26 am UTC (link)
	Eli seemed confused. "You think she would go overboard?" he asks. He's heard that Sersi loves a good time, and enjoys the company of men, but he can't really imagine her going overboard. Then again, he is viewing her through the lens of his cousin, who always seems very moderate. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We are still talking about the same woman who moved me in with my boyfriend after only dating for a few weeks, right?" Kal asked. "Mom gets enthusiastic about things. Just tell her you need some cash, but do yourself a favor and /don't/ say why." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	blinkandmissme 2011-04-30 07:57 pm UTC (link)
	"All right. I will do what I can, but I will not lie to her. I suppose she would know if I did." Eli says, chuckling a bit. "Did she really move you in with Jack only after a few weeks? She must really have thought you liked him if she would do that for you." Eli mentions. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2011-04-30 08:00 pm UTC (link)
	"Just be as vague as possible," Kal advised. "She did. She also moved us into a few different apartments after we did move in with each other. She thought we would be happier at one of the places she picked." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	blinkandmissme 2011-05-01 12:03 am UTC (link)
	"I wonder how my mother would react to news of my dating. She also tends to be very enthusiastic about things..." Eli says, his eyes downcast. All this time, and still no word. There was nothing else for it, but they still didn't even have a clue of what had happened to her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kal reached across the table and took his hand. She gave it a squeeze. "Cousin, if you want to look for her and want help, just say the word. I am there for you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Father has officially forbade me from the search. He blames me for whatever is happened. I can hear it in his thoughts when he looks at me." Eli says, before he automatically tries to brighten his outlook. "It does not mean I am not looking. I am just doing so more quietly." he says. "Have you heard from Dae and Iason?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2011-05-01 01:27 pm UTC (link)
	Kal smiled. "Well it's a good thing he didn't forbid /me/ from looking then. Isn't it?" Kal had a mischievous smile on her face. "I haven't heard from them since they took off for some space adventures." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
