Date: July 6, 2000
Status: Public
Setting: Manor gardens, Front desk
Summary: Delirium arrives.

If someone had asked Delirium why she was where she was, presently sitting cross-legged on the grass in front of Lower Tadfield Manor, she would have no answer for them really, except that it felt rather like she should be there.

And anyway she was entertained.

The impressive wreckage of a plane a dozen or so feet away held her attention for good five minutes or so before she climbed to her feet and left it a habitat to a number of small noisy multicolored frogs.

To the human eye, she appeared to be a girl not more than fourteen years old, wild purpley pink hair, shaved on one side of her head, dressed in tattered badly matched clothing.

They would boggle at her for a moment or two, wondering absently if that streak of orange hair was there just a moment ago, and then just as quickly move along, dismissing her with relief, as a runaway or one of those eccentric rocker kids.

Not-so-human eyes would deal slightly better with her rapidly changing appearance. At least in theory.

The personification matter-of-factly ignored the front door and crawled in through an open window that may or may not have been there before. One never knew with her.

She landed, a rainbowed tangle of limbs, beside the front desk with a soft thud and blinked her mismatched eyes at her surroundings.

"A quantum... whatsit?" Her voice was muffled by Barnabus' fur. Grinning, Delirium pulled back far enough to look the talking dog in the face and scratched him behind the ears. "But I do have a doggie! I mean um... you're right here, aren't you?" A look of confusion flitted across her features and her hair spiraled purple and green.

"Nevermind," Barnabas said, rolling his eyes. "Oooh, just a little to the left."

Delirium didn't even bother to shrug. She didn't have to. The matter already more than forgotten. She beamed at him, convinced, for now, of his tangibility, and obliged. "I met a lot of interesting people while you were gone... or did I go away? ...but none said the kind of clever things you say, doggie.." she babbled happily, attention completely focused on Barnabas.

In some remote corner of her tangled mind, she registered her brother's presence as well. But then, by her logic her brothers and sister were a lot of places. And being easily distracted as she was, it should have been no surprise that while Destruction and Uriel talked several feet away, she hadn't noticed them yet. Not really. Right now she seemed to be concentrating on making up for half a year's worth of missed affection towards her furry friend.

Barnabas was firmly entrenched in Delirium's lap when Destruction approached. "Milady Delirium," he said with a little bow. "It's been a while. How was that... interesting little dimension I left you in?"

"Oh!" Delirium started looking up at her older brother, "Hallo Destruction. It was pretty!" she exclaimed throwing both arms up in the air to illustrate her point.

She tilted her head to one side and smiled at him crookedly not so secretly pleased to find her older brother here though she hadn't been expecting it.
