It would seem that Elisa's world is turning into Grand Central Station.  First Maddie, then Kakyoin.  Later, Harley.  And now, Faye.  The list of visitors was ever growing.

And once again, the Castle was abuzz with activity.  Dusk had come fairly early--seeing as it was early October in Elisa's universe--and the Gargoyles of the Manhattan Clan were again preparing to recieve company.  The last visitor had raised a few questions from Xanatos, namely how she had managed to get into the Castle without anyone knowing, but no answer would be forthcoming.  They were allowed some secrets, just as they did not peer too closely into his activities.

Food was cooking, some were watching TV, some were playing with Bronx, and generally regular life was going on.

Faye frowns behind her mask. "Well, that's gratitude for you."

Sigh. "I'm right behind you," she says.

Back in the air, Elisa gives Faye an appologetic look. "I'm sorry you had to see that."

"It's alright," she replies mid web-swing, "not your fault."

"Still..." Elisa trails off. "It's a side of this world I'm not exactly proud of."

"That still went better than it sometimes does," Brooklyn says. "At least she didn't beg us not to eat her."

"Well... I'd have found it hard to keep my cool if that happened," she mutters.

"I'd almost have liked to have seen that," Elisa says. "I don't think I've ever seen you get angry."

"Still," Angela says, "I am always amazed at such a reaction. We rescue them, only to be treated as far worse than what we're resucing them from. It makes little sense."

"Nobody deserves to be treated like that," Faye says to them.

There's a nod and a mummur of agreement from the Gargoyles. By now, the Castle was visible in the skyline again, though a good bit above their flight line.

"Home sweet home," Elisa says.

"Bet I can get there first," Faye replies.

From Brooklyn and Angela, this produces its share of snickers. Even Elisa cracks a smile.

"I think," she says, "that we accept the challenge."

"Let's go then," she calls, using her weblines to increase her speed and height. As soon as she reaches the Eyrie Building, she'll use them to propel herself upwards.

Elisa tucks her wings in to increase her speed, while still angling the for height. The Garoyles are at a bit of a disadvantage to Faye; they'll eventually need to climb when they run out of upward wind and momentum...

But for now, they've got the edge in speed.

Faye gets overtaken by them, but she doesn't fall behind too far.

From: [identity profile] elisa-garg.livejournal.com
Which is good, because if she had, Elisa probably would have fallen back a little just to keep an eye on her.

As it is, the Gargoyles were getting closer to the building, and the apex of their flight.

And that's when Faye'll catch up.

From: [identity profile] elisa-garg.livejournal.com
Whump!
Whump!
Whump!


The three connect solidly with the building--talons sinking into the side--and begin to climb. Brooklyn was currently in the lead, Elisa second, and Angela last.

Faye uses a webline to change her momentum and travel up the building.

And at the rate she's going, she just right beat them up there. Still, they're determined to give a good accounting of themselves.

They might want to go a bit faster, because she's just overtook them.

Date: 2007-03-13 01:51 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] elisa-garg.livejournal.com
"Faster, guys!" Elisa shouts, while trying to redouble her own efforts. She's now slightly ahead of Brooklyn, and Angela's caught up with him...

But Faye might just be a little too far ahead.

Date: 2007-03-13 01:58 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] evil-god-monkey.livejournal.com
Which seems to be the case, as she has a third of the building to go.

Date: 2007-03-13 02:28 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] elisa-garg.livejournal.com
And a bit more of that for the Gargoyles, but they just might be catching up...

Date: 2007-03-13 02:31 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] evil-god-monkey.livejournal.com
They're catching up alright. This could be close.

Date: 2007-03-13 02:48 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] elisa-garg.livejournal.com
Anyone's game now! Elisa's just about on Faye's heels...

Date: 2007-03-13 02:51 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] evil-god-monkey.livejournal.com
And then... they'll likely reach the Castle at exactly the same time...
