South Attic, late Thursday afternoon (after workshops)

[demonbelthazor]

Bel shimmered with Blair into the South Attic's living room. "Make yourself at home," he growled, looking around to see if Phoebe was there. He didn't hear her at the moment.

"So, what do I need to do?" he asked.


[ooc: open to Blair and Phoebe, all others enter at your own risk. ;) ]

Blair peeked open an eye and watch Bel carefully. "Alright, let's move onto the second knob. The flame is still too high there so you need to move it down to low."

"You can do it, man."

[demonbelthazor]

Moving his hand to the second knob, Bel growled a little in frustration. "It's stuck."

"That's okay, don't get angry, man." Blair soothed and dropped his voice a little lower.

"It's your stove Bel. The knob might be a little stiff, but it isn't stuck. You can make it turn, just go slow. Make the flame go lower."

[demonbelthazor]

Blair was right. No stiff knob was going to beat him. He tried to turn it again, and this time it moved. He set the flame to low like the first. "Got it," he said.

"Great. You know what to do with the last knobs, man. Turn them to low. Don't get angry if they're hard to turn. You can do it." Blair leaned back and watched Bel carefully.

[demonbelthazor]

Bel rolled his neck and shoulders and reached out for the last two knobs. They were as stubborn as the second one, but he was able to get them to move to low.

He began to relax more.

"How ya feeling, Bel? You doing okay?" Blair tried not to bounce, but it was very hard.

"We've just got one last step here, man. We gotta turn those burners all the way and then we're done. Do you think you can do that?"

[demonbelthazor]

"I feel all right," Bel said, his growling more subdued. Eyes still closed, he reached for the knobs in his mind again. The first two clicked off with minimal effort this time. The third was a little more stubborn, but he managed to turn it to the off position. The last didn't seem to want to move.

"What's up, man?" Blair said softly.

[demonbelthazor]

Bel took another deep breath and exhaled slowly, then tried the knob again. This time it turned more easily, clicking the burner off.

Without even realizing it he shifted back into human form.

Blair blinked and bounced happily. "Alright, man. You did good. Open your eyes."

[demonbelthazor]

Bel opened his eyes and looked down at his human form. "It worked!" he said excitedly.

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"Yay you!" Blair bounced excitedly as he leaned forward to blow out the candle. "That was awesome, man!"

[demonbelthazor]

"I totally owe you, man," Bel said, grinning, happy to be human again.

[hee! Bel has Blair speak!]

"Not a problem. I'm glad I could help you out, man." Blair bounced. "Maybe you could do that shimmery thing again sometime. That was way fun."

[demonbelthazor]

"Any time," Bel said. "And if you ever need some help with something else, let me know."


[ooc: am running home from work now, back in an hour, or you can have Blair leave. :) ]

"Will do, man." Blair bounced up and waved to Phoebe before leaving the attic.

[Thanks for bringing Blair into this!
