Teresa Black - Prisoner - Home Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 17:09, March 9, 2015 (UTC) ~“Family is not an important thing. It's everything.” She and Ferlen walked down together- not to the sealed portion, where the experiments were kept, but to the front, where boxes Teresa's parents had given her were sitting, most covered with dust. "I've been meaning to go through this stuff since I moved in. I don't know all that's even in here."

Ferlen - Alistair Fitzgerald's Senior Undersecretary Send Me an Owl! - 17:14, March 9, 2015 (UTC) He would nod. "No guesses at all?"

Teresa Black - Prisoner - Home Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 17:17, March 9, 2015 (UTC) ~“Family is not an important thing. It's everything.” "Probably old school books, some photos..." She flicked her wand to remove the dust. "Only one way to find out for sure."

Ferlen - Alistair Fitzgerald's Senior Undersecretary Send Me an Owl! - 17:18, March 9, 2015 (UTC) He would nod and watch.

Teresa Black - Prisoner - Home Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 17:23, March 9, 2015 (UTC) ~“Family is not an important thing. It's everything.” She opened one of the boxes to find it full of old Muggle movies. "Wow... Mulan, Bambi, Titanic... 27 Dresses, Mary was looking for that. These are all Muggle movies we watched as kids. And..." There were a few performances peeking out too; Wicked, Les Miserables, Annie Get Your Gun....

Ferlen - Alistair Fitzgerald's Senior Undersecretary Send Me an Owl! - 17:24, March 9, 2015 (UTC) He would look at them with interest. "So...these are the muggle movie's you've been working to re-create with magic?" He would pick one up curiously. "How do you use them?"

Teresa Black - Prisoner - Home Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 17:27, March 9, 2015 (UTC) ~“Family is not an important thing. It's everything.” "To watch them? You put the disk in the DVD player and it shows up on the TV screen."

Ferlen - Alistair Fitzgerald's Senior Undersecretary Send Me an Owl! - 17:30, March 9, 2015 (UTC) He would nod thoughtfully. "So...somehow it's stored on the disk?"

Teresa Black - Prisoner - Home Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 17:33, March 9, 2015 (UTC) ~“Family is not an important thing. It's everything.” She nodded. "The data is recorded, stored in files, transferred to a disk, and duplicated."

Ferlen - Alistair Fitzgerald's Senior Undersecretary Send Me an Owl! - 17:37, March 9, 2015 (UTC) He would frown. "Sounds...tricky."

Teresa Black - Prisoner - Home Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 17:44, March 9, 2015 (UTC) ~“Family is not an important thing. It's everything.” She smiled. "Making one takes years. I'll invite Mary over to divy out all these." She looked around. "There's something with things I'm probably no longer attached to." She headed to her old toy chest. She unlocked it.

Game Master Send Me an Owl! - 17:44, March 9, 2015 (UTC) Teresa stepped out of the chest. Dark circles. Expressionless. Lifeless black eyes, but standing tall. Hair disheveled. Knife in hand. "I am worthless."

Teresa Black - Prisoner - Home Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 17:44, March 9, 2015 (UTC) ~“Family is not an important thing. It's everything.” She froze. She was dreaming again. She blinked, trying with deep breaths to wake up.

Ferlen - Alistair Fitzgerald's Senior Undersecretary Send Me an Owl! - 17:54, March 9, 2015 (UTC) He would stand and quickly move in front of Teresa to confront the boggart, pulling his wand out and waiting for it to transform.

Game Master Send Me an Owl! - 17:54, March 9, 2015 (UTC) It would shift, and the form of Teresa would gain red eyes and an evil demeanor, lifting her wand and pointing it at Ferlen.

Ferlen - Alistair Fitzgerald's Senior Undersecretary Send Me an Owl! - 17:54, March 9, 2015 (UTC) He would nod confidently, and jab with his wand. "Riddikulus".

Game Master Send Me an Owl! - 17:54, March 9, 2015 (UTC) The Teresa would grow more beautiful and shine with an inner radience, opening her mouth and beginning to singa beautiful song.

Teresa Black - Prisoner - Home Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 19:43, March 9, 2015 (UTC) ~“Family is not an important thing. It's everything.” She took deep breaths, trying to understand. This was only a... boggart?

Ferlen - Alistair Fitzgerald's Senior Undersecretary Send Me an Owl! - 19:50, March 9, 2015 (UTC) He would point his and at it again. "Riddikulus".

Game Master Send Me an Owl! - 19:50, March 9, 2015 (UTC) Teresa's clothing would shift into bright colors, and she woudl be wearing a rainbow colord wig and a bright red nose, balancing on a unicycle.

Ferlen - Alistair Fitzgerald's Senior Undersecretary Send Me an Owl! - 19:50, March 9, 2015 (UTC) He would smile at let out a small chuckle at the clown version of his wife, then when the boggart wavered due to his laughter, wave his wand shooting the boggart back into one of the cardboard boxes they had already emptied, and waving his wand again to close it up and lock it inside, his spell strengthening the box so it couldn't break out. His smile would quickly fade, and he'd move over to Teresa and offer her his hand. "Are you ok?"

Teresa Black - Prisoner - Home Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 19:56, March 9, 2015 (UTC) ~“Family is not an important thing. It's everything.” She took his hand. "I- I didn't realize it was just a boggart...." She took deep breaths. His fear... hers....

Ferlen - Alistair Fitzgerald's Senior Undersecretary Send Me an Owl! - 19:59, March 9, 2015 (UTC) He would pull her to her feet, holding her close. "It's ok Teresa...it was just a boggart. Nothing to fear here."

Teresa Black - Prisoner - Home Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 20:02, March 9, 2015 (UTC) ~“Family is not an important thing. It's everything.” Her voice was full of fear. "You're- you're afraid I'm going to turn evil?"

Ferlen - Alistair Fitzgerald's Senior Undersecretary Send Me an Owl! - 20:59, March 9, 2015 (UTC) He would smile at her gently. "I already told you that. I told you I was afraid all...this was having an effect on you...remember?" He would wave his hands to the lab in general.

Teresa Black - Prisoner - Home Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 21:04, March 9, 2015 (UTC) ~“Family is not an important thing. It's everything.” She nodded- she hadn't realized the fear was so strong. She felt more guilty than ever.

Ferlen - Alistair Fitzgerald's Senior Undersecretary Send Me an Owl! - 21:07, March 9, 2015 (UTC) He would give her a kiss. "I worry about you. Playing with fire is dangerous."

Teresa Black - Prisoner - Home Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 21:11, March 9, 2015 (UTC) ~“Family is not an important thing. It's everything.” "You know I've stopped though. At least for the moment." She placed a hand on her gently rounded stomach.

Ferlen - Alistair Fitzgerald's Senior Undersecretary Send Me an Owl! - 02:29, March 10, 2015 (UTC) He would nod. "I know...and I honestly think it's for the best."

Teresa Black - Prisoner - Home Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 02:36, March 10, 2015 (UTC) ~“Family is not an important thing. It's everything.” She nodded. "I do too. I never want to hurt her," she said quietly.

Ferlen - Alistair Fitzgerald's Senior Undersecretary Send Me an Owl! - 02:37, March 10, 2015 (UTC) He would nod. "I agree...but I don't want YOU hurt either."

Teresa Black - Prisoner - Home Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 02:41, March 10, 2015 (UTC) ~“Family is not an important thing. It's everything.” She sighed. "I take risks. I'm sure you take risks too, especially when you were working in the Auror office, even though they weren't the same."

Ferlen - Alistair Fitzgerald's Senior Undersecretary Send Me an Owl! - 02:47, March 10, 2015 (UTC) He would nod. "That's true...but now that I'm going to be a dad I have a less risky job....maybe you should consider letting someone who isn't a mom do the riskier work..."

Teresa Black - Prisoner - Home Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 02:56, March 10, 2015 (UTC) ~“Family is not an important thing. It's everything.” "I don't know how to make you understand that it's not a simple decision to stop. I can't go back. I can see most of the risks... and I've already paid for my choices in many ways." She thought of her boggart, and the feelings of guilt and worthlessness she fought back everyday. "I see no way out but forward."

Ferlen - Alistair Fitzgerald's Senior Undersecretary Send Me an Owl! - 02:58, March 10, 2015 (UTC) He would frown. "I don't see it that way. I feel like it's a simple choice to say you won't do that anymore and just stop. Why would that be so difficult?"

Teresa Black - Prisoner - Home Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 03:02, March 10, 2015 (UTC) ~“Family is not an important thing. It's everything.” "The theories will still develop- and still are developing now. I still research since I can't experiment. I feel like it's a thirst for Dark knowledge that I can't completely control- and I've never really been able to."

Ferlen - Alistair Fitzgerald's Senior Undersecretary Send Me an Owl! - 03:04, March 10, 2015 (UTC) He would look at her squarely. "It sounds like an addiction."

Teresa Black - Prisoner - Home Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 03:07, March 10, 2015 (UTC) ~“Family is not an important thing. It's everything.” She looked at him steadily. "Maybe it is. But it's not like alcohol or potions where you can be weaned off of it and purged from it all. It's changed me too much for it to be that simple."

Ferlen - Alistair Fitzgerald's Senior Undersecretary Send Me an Owl! - 03:08, March 10, 2015 (UTC) He would nod. "Maybe...but keeping you away from it WILL keep you from changing more."

Teresa Black - Prisoner - Home Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 03:12, March 10, 2015 (UTC) ~“Family is not an important thing. It's everything.” "Would you force me to stay away?" she asked quietly.

Ferlen - Alistair Fitzgerald's Senior Undersecretary Send Me an Owl! - 03:14, March 10, 2015 (UTC) He would think about that for a moment and the nod. "If I thought I could...I might. ...but seeing as I don't think I actually have a way to stop you...I don't really have a choice but to support and protect you as best as I can while you walk through hell...do I?"

Teresa Black - Prisoner - Home Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 03:17, March 10, 2015 (UTC) ~“Family is not an important thing. It's everything.” She looked up at him. "I suppose you don't."

Ferlen - Alistair Fitzgerald's Senior Undersecretary Send Me an Owl! - 03:19, March 10, 2015 (UTC) He would nod. That settled that. He would silently reach down and pick up the box with the boggart, carrying it up the stairs to go take care of it.

Teresa Black - Prisoner - Home Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 03:24, March 10, 2015 (UTC) ~“Family is not an important thing. It's everything.” She watched him go, tears forming in her eyes once he was gone. She was remembering how he had turned the boggart into a form of her singing....

Teresa Black - Prisoner - Home Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 20:07, March 4, 2015 (UTC) ~“Family is not an important thing. It's everything.” After coming quietly from the bedroom, she sat on the basement steps, taking deep breaths. The nightmares were getting worse, and so were the feelings of guilt and fear that went with them. She speculated that because she suppressed the feelings so well when she was awake, they appeared in her dreams, when her mental defenses were down. She clung to the railing, continuing to take deep breaths. She had to fix this- the faster the better.

Ferlen - Alistair Fitzgerald's Senior Undersecretary Send Me an Owl! - 20:34, March 4, 2015 (UTC) A while later he would walk down, bleary eyed, hoping (and fearing) his wife was down here.

Teresa Black - Prisoner - Home Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 20:38, March 4, 2015 (UTC) ~“Family is not an important thing. It's everything.” She looked up from the desk. She was reading a book, dark circles under her eyes. "Hi."

Ferlen - Alistair Fitzgerald's Senior Undersecretary Send Me an Owl! - 20:38, March 4, 2015 (UTC) He would give her a look and come sit down by her. "More bad dreams?"

Teresa Black - Prisoner - Home Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 20:40, March 4, 2015 (UTC) ~“Family is not an important thing. It's everything.” She nodded a bit guiltily, setting the book aside.

Ferlen - Alistair Fitzgerald's Senior Undersecretary Send Me an Owl! - 20:40, March 4, 2015 (UTC) He would frown. "Same dream?"

Teresa Black - Prisoner - Home Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 20:43, March 4, 2015 (UTC) ~“Family is not an important thing. It's everything.” "A bit different. The manner of death was different, and the accusations were worse."

Ferlen - Alistair Fitzgerald's Senior Undersecretary Send Me an Owl! - 21:01, March 4, 2015 (UTC) He would nod, rubbing his eyes a bit. "So...what do you think is causing these nightmares? Could it be something with Lily?"

Teresa Black - Prisoner - Home Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 21:04, March 4, 2015 (UTC) ~“Family is not an important thing. It's everything.” "I doubt it," she replied slowly.

Ferlen - Alistair Fitzgerald's Senior Undersecretary Send Me an Owl! - 21:05, March 4, 2015 (UTC) He would shrug. "Mary said Phoebe was having issues...so I thought maybe..." He would check what she was reading.

Teresa Black - Prisoner - Home Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 21:08, March 4, 2015 (UTC) ~“Family is not an important thing. It's everything.” It was a book about Dark creatures. "Mary told me about that."

Ferlen - Alistair Fitzgerald's Senior Undersecretary Send Me an Owl! - 21:09, March 4, 2015 (UTC) He would gesture to the book. "...and you thought reading about dark monsters would help you sleep better?"

Teresa Black - Prisoner - Home Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 21:11, March 4, 2015 (UTC) ~“Family is not an important thing. It's everything.” "I'd rather research then just sit here," she answered with a sigh.

Ferlen - Alistair Fitzgerald's Senior Undersecretary Send Me an Owl! - 21:13, March 4, 2015 (UTC) He would frown. "I'm sure I can find you a dreamless sleep potion."

Teresa Black - Prisoner - Home Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 21:30, March 4, 2015 (UTC) ~“Family is not an important thing. It's everything.” She shook her head. "I'd rather not take a potion if I can help it, for the baby's sake."

Ferlen - Alistair Fitzgerald's Senior Undersecretary Send Me an Owl! - 21:31, March 4, 2015 (UTC) He would nod. He hadn't thought of that. "Well then...I suppose this'll just help us both learn to be tired. for when the baby comes."

Teresa Black - Prisoner - Home Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 21:33, March 4, 2015 (UTC) ~“Family is not an important thing. It's everything.” She sighed. "There's no reason for you to stay up with me. They're just bad dreams."

Ferlen - Alistair Fitzgerald's Senior Undersecretary Send Me an Owl! - 21:34, March 4, 2015 (UTC) He would shrug. "There's no reason for you to be up while I'm sleeping. We're a team...remember?"

Teresa Black - Prisoner - Home Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 21:37, March 4, 2015 (UTC) ~“Family is not an important thing. It's everything.” She nodded, a small smile on her face. "I just hate how guilty they make me feel," she said quietly.

Ferlen - Alistair Fitzgerald's Senior Undersecretary Send Me an Owl! - 21:38, March 4, 2015 (UTC) He would nod. "Guilt isn't a good feeling. Aren't you glad everything's out in the open now so you don't have to be guilty anymore?"

Teresa Black - Prisoner - Home Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 21:42, March 4, 2015 (UTC) ~“Family is not an important thing. It's everything.” She didn't reply for a couple moments. She still felt guilty about it all, despite Ferlen's forgiveness and unwavering devotion. She looked up at him and nodded, her face expressionless.

Ferlen - Alistair Fitzgerald's Senior Undersecretary Send Me an Owl! - 21:43, March 4, 2015 (UTC) He would frown. "You haven't seemed especially yourself lately...specifically emotionally. Is everything ok?"

Teresa Black - Prisoner - Home Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 21:46, March 4, 2015 (UTC) ~“Family is not an important thing. It's everything.” "If I had a Galleon for all the times you've asked me that recently..." She offered a small grin. "You know I have too much emotional control."

Ferlen - Alistair Fitzgerald's Senior Undersecretary Send Me an Owl! - 21:49, March 4, 2015 (UTC) He would nod. "That's my point...why are you still trying to control it so much instead of just letting it be?"

Teresa Black - Prisoner - Home Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 21:53, March 4, 2015 (UTC) ~“Family is not an important thing. It's everything.” "I can't always help it. If there's an emotion I want to hide, my mind automatically tries to hide it. If there's an emotion I want to bring out, I take it and bring it out. If the emotion is overwhelming, my mind will try to numb it. I can try to stop that process, but it feels almost unnatural."

Ferlen - Alistair Fitzgerald's Senior Undersecretary Send Me an Owl! - 21:56, March 4, 2015 (UTC) He would consider that. "Well...I suppose it'll become more natural with practice..."

Teresa Black - Prisoner - Home Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 21:59, March 4, 2015 (UTC) ~“Family is not an important thing. It's everything.” She offered a slow nod. "I wish I could control the emotions in my dreams though."

Ferlen - Alistair Fitzgerald's Senior Undersecretary Send Me an Owl! - 22:03, March 4, 2015 (UTC) He would think about that. "Is that actually possible?"

Teresa Black - Prisoner - Home Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 22:05, March 4, 2015 (UTC) ~“Family is not an important thing. It's everything.” "There's a slight possibility... the conscious mind can't control the unconscious mind, unless you know you're dreaming."

Ferlen - Alistair Fitzgerald's Senior Undersecretary Send Me an Owl! - 22:11, March 4, 2015 (UTC) He would nod. "...but you can also use occlumency while you're knocked unconscious to protect your mind."

Teresa Black - Prisoner - Home Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 22:14, March 4, 2015 (UTC) ~“Family is not an important thing. It's everything.” She nodded. "True. But that process doesn't change it or control it, it only forms a barrier."

Ferlen - Alistair Fitzgerald's Senior Undersecretary Send Me an Owl! - 22:18, March 4, 2015 (UTC) He would yawn loudly. "Just a thought."

Teresa Black - Prisoner - Home Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 22:20, March 4, 2015 (UTC) ~“Family is not an important thing. It's everything.” She sighed, looking at him guiltily. "I really didn't mean to wake you."

Ferlen - Alistair Fitzgerald's Senior Undersecretary Send Me an Owl! - 22:25, March 4, 2015 (UTC) He would shrug. "It's hard to sleep when you're worried about something."

Teresa Black - Prisoner - Home Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 22:27, March 4, 2015 (UTC) ~“Family is not an important thing. It's everything.” "They're just dreams Ferlen... why should you be worried from a dream?" She smiled softly as she quoted him.

Ferlen - Alistair Fitzgerald's Senior Undersecretary Send Me an Owl! - 22:29, March 4, 2015 (UTC) His voice would be quiet. "I'm not worried about the dreams. I'm worried about you."

Teresa Black - Prisoner - Home Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 22:30, March 4, 2015 (UTC) ~“Family is not an important thing. It's everything.” She frowned, biting her lip. "Why?"

Ferlen - Alistair Fitzgerald's Senior Undersecretary Send Me an Owl! - 22:33, March 4, 2015 (UTC) "Because you've been acting oddly and not sleeping actually messes up your body worse than drinking."

Teresa Black - Prisoner - Home Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 22:37, March 4, 2015 (UTC) ~“Family is not an important thing. It's everything.” She was quiet for a few moments. "What do you want me to do?"

Ferlen - Alistair Fitzgerald's Senior Undersecretary Send Me an Owl! - 22:44, March 4, 2015 (UTC) He would shrug. "I have no idea. We could always ask at the healer's appointment next week."

Teresa Black - Prisoner - Home Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 22:46, March 4, 2015 (UTC) ~“Family is not an important thing. It's everything.” She nodded. "Sure." She wished she could go and hug him and assure him that she was going to be okay. But she didn't know that for sure. So she rose from her chair and knelt down next to him, placing her hand gently on his leg.

Ferlen - Alistair Fitzgerald's Senior Undersecretary Send Me an Owl! - 22:48, March 4, 2015 (UTC) He would smile at her. "I love you Teresa."

Teresa Black - Prisoner - Home Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 00:23, March 5, 2015 (UTC) ~“Family is not an important thing. It's everything.” Her eyes flickered up to him. "I love you too." She smiled. "Everything's going to be okay- because we still have each other."

Ferlen - Alistair Fitzgerald's Senior Undersecretary Send Me an Owl! - 00:31, March 5, 2015 (UTC) He would give her a happy smile. "That's right."

Teresa Black - Prisoner - Home Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 00:35, March 5, 2015 (UTC) ~“Family is not an important thing. It's everything.” She wrapped her arms around him and rested her head against his leg. Her face was turned away from him, but there was a tiny smile.

Ferlesa

Teresa Black - Prisoner - Home Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 14:44, March 23, 2015 (UTC) ~“Family is not an important thing. It's everything.” In the first part of the basement, there was a door that looked like it belonged to a closet- instead it was a small home theater, with a large couch and a huge screen. She put away the Pensieve that was also in the room, leaving the door open so Ferlen could see her.

Ferlen - Alistair Fitzgerald's Senior Undersecretary Send Me an Owl! - 14:46, March 23, 2015 (UTC) After he was done with the dishes, he would walk downstairs holding the journal. He would hand it to her. "Here, you forgot this."
