aeons_crackshotOOC: Takes place not too terribly long after this thread.
After certain events at the Chicago harbor there had been considerable amusement within the Æon Society over the pairing up of Annabelle Newfield and Connor. (Whitley Styles had won the betting pool, despite Jake's claim that he cheated.)
As for the reactions of the other FreakAngels to the news, well, who knows?
There was a furious spate of trouble starting the very next day, of course. All of the Society's founders have been run ragged for the last few weeks. For the moment though, things are quiet. (Or at least, if things ARE going crazy somewhere, someone else is handling the problem.)
Annabelle and Jake got back in town at some ungodly hour this morning, whereupon she fell asleep on one of the couches near the fireplace. (Jake is probably off somewhere regaling a pretty woman or two with tales of said adventure, because that's what he does.)

Later on, perhaps the scent of breakfast rouses her? Someone left a big tray nearby...

The staff tends to be a bit cautious around her when she's out of it, thanks to her habit of reacting badly when startled. (She hadn't meant to scare the cook half to death, honestly!)

Date: 2011-03-20 04:56 pm (UTC)It also helps when you have no ill intent, right? But anyway, the food is still hot, so it must have not been left there long ago.

Date: 2011-03-20 05:38 pm (UTC)She's missed him.
no subject
Date: 2011-03-20 05:58 pm (UTC)Not too close, but not overly far either.
Insecure, much?
no subject
Date: 2011-03-20 06:03 pm (UTC)She's not quite sure how to read the situation, so she decides to kiss him and see what happens. Annabelle's a little insecure too, she just has rather different ways of dealing with it. :-D?
no subject
Date: 2011-03-20 06:06 pm (UTC)But absolutely not displeased: then the kiss ends, he's much closer.
Holding her, even. "I missed you."

Date: 2011-03-20 06:10 pm (UTC)"You'll be happy to know I didn't end up with any extra holes in me this time." She pauses, "or set on fire, thankfully."
Yeah, they ran into more than they expected on this mission. Surprise?
no subject
Date: 2011-03-20 06:31 pm (UTC)He likes Annabelle in a special way, so... yeah, worry about her well-being.

Date: 2011-03-20 06:37 pm (UTC)"Thankfully, he wasn't as smart as he thought he was," she adds with a smirk. "Gravity's a bitch when you're 15 stories up."
He went splat, a LOT.
She doesn't mean to make him worry. It's just that, well, this is more or less NORMAL for her at this point in her life. Things trying to kill her is just one of life's unpleasant little surprises, like unexpected rain showers.
no subject
Date: 2011-03-20 06:49 pm (UTC)He's just glad she's back, and unharmed, even with all the danger.
no subject
Date: 2011-03-20 06:53 pm (UTC)Annabelle has never been on a date, so she's not sure what exactly people DO under these circumstances. (David, well, that murdering bastard doesn't count for anything, damn it!)

Date: 2011-03-20 06:59 pm (UTC)"I think Lillian's got something new out, so that will likely be the centerpiece at the theaters." Going to the movies in the 1920's is likely VERY different than what Connor is used to.
She chuckles. "She sends me a Christmas card every year, so I suppose I should help her career out a bit," she adds with a wink. People tend to remember you when you save them from certain death.

Date: 2011-03-20 07:31 pm (UTC)Seriously. "They'll run, oh, lots of other things besides the feature," she explains. "News, cartoons, shorter films..."

Date: 2011-03-21 03:00 am (UTC)They can actually catch up with one another and just sit and talk all afternoon! Is this that thing called normalcy that usually happens to other people?

Date: 2011-03-21 04:41 pm (UTC)Annabelle overheard bits of KK and Caz discussing chaos theory with Dixon, and, well, completely misinterpreted what she was hearing with regard to history and the butterfly effect.
