*Commissar kicked Nova lightly*

Still tired from last night?

*Kara looks over at Reinhardt and her eyes roll back into place*

K: He's dead. It's over.

*Kara's face turns to horror and she remembers something and turns to face Milo's body before staggering over to him, leaving her sword in Hoffman*

K: Gods... he's actually gone...



*Santiago kisses Joalia repeatedly and finally gets her to part ways with the laces before moving on to his own clothing*

You'll find someone. What about Aoife, or maybe the snobby princess? Just talk with em a bit, you're nice enough, and definitely likable enough.
*Shrugs and sips the gin*
Whips and stuff definitely work well. Among other things.
*Hides face behind hair slightly*

~

*Maiev blinks into the hall and collapses onto a body*
*Looks around and sees Kara*
*Blinks up to her and flying tackle-hugs her*

~

*Joalia giggles and covers Santiago's eyes with her lace bra*

*Nova is fast asleep instantly*
*I begin re-assembling the engine*
Why the heck do these engines require an advanced physics degree to assemble?

*Mikkeal's eyes widen in horror*
Mikkeal: NO!!
*He runs over to Milo and Mia gently hands his son over. Mikkeal holds him close as Mia walks over to her husband and is held tightly as she cries over the brave young Staglord*


*Darcy's muffled voice comes from inside the Valkyrie*
Darcy: Because insurance. The boy could put them together himself with a few lessons and a crane.

*Kara looks slightly frenzied at the tackle before smiling tiredly and kissing Maiev after she sees who it is*

K: Kadan, you're back. I... we... Hoffman is dead.

*Kara gestures to his body*

K: I am sorry Mikkeal. Your son fought bravely, and saved Mia. If anyone was a hero, it was him.



*Santiago grins and kisses Joalia's neck*

Santi: (I don't deserve you.)

M: I can tell. So is Tammuz. But I guess we had some losses too...
*Looks over at Milo's body and shakes head*
*Continues holding Kara*
*Doesn't even care about wound anymore, which has re-opened*

~

*Joalia smiles and nudges Santiago with her chest*
Joal: (Just because you say it every second time we make love, does not mean that if is any more true. I deserve you, and you deserve me. We are one.)
*Holds Santiago closer and moves down to kiss him*

*Mikkeal looks slightly comforted by her words and speaks in a choked voice*
Mikkeal: He died a hero, a warrior. I could not ask for more...

*Mia is sobbing into Reinhardt's arms as the events of the day start to catch up to her*

*Jake looks at Denny, and looks a little more flustered.*

Jake: Yeah... you're right... I'll find someone...

*Realizes his staring is probably starting to look weird, and decides to finish his beer. He orders another.*

Jake: Sooo.. know any drinking games?

No, not really. I don't drink for fun. Unless you count the hangover as the fun part, then yes I do.
*Shrugs and finishes glass*
Do you know any?

OOC: Watch a Stephan King movie and take a shot everytime a Stephen King cliche appears. You'll be dangerously drunk in the first 20 minutes
BiC:

*Morgan walks over to the Valkyire*
Morgan: Miss Mel? Miss Darcy? I'm done!
*Darcy pokes her head out and goes over to inspect the jeep*

OOC That would make Jake trip balls tho. But it is a good drinking game.

*Kara nods and holds Maiev tightly while not noticing Maiev's wound*

K: He didn't deserve to die, Kadan. He was so young.

*Malcoy trots over to the pair and sits down at their side*



*Santiago nods and goes back to kissing Joalia*

Santi: (I can't argue with you. And I prefer your answer much more.)



*Wade teleports down next to Denny and Jake and nods in greeting*

DP: Hey guys. Ya like that lil prank, Den'?

OOC: Lol he die in ten minutes. OT you a gangsta for knowing about Nostalgia critic.

*Jake looks a little pained for Denny.*

Jake: I know a couple.. Eddie always said "I would never." was fun, or something called "Kings cup" but we sorta need a pack of cards.

*He starts his third beer.*

Jake: Or we can just talk.. up to you.

*Smile when Deadpool shows up.*

Jake: Hey Deadpool! You want a drink?

OOC: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/DrinkingGame/StephenKing
I'm watching NC right now. Best internet show ever!
BiC
*Reinhardt eventually calms Mia down then kneels down to Mikkeal*
Reinhardt: Mikkeal... I'm sorry... Milo was too young, and had such potential...
*Mikkeal nods*
Mikkeal: I know... I want a pyre... as is tradition
*Reinhardt nods sadly*

*Well in the dungeons down below several dozen soldiers captured and imprisoned by the Nature Spirit's finally break out and begin running up the stairs*

*I nod to Morgan*
Good work. If you want I can show you how to re-assemble a Valkyrie engine

*Morgan nods as Darcy slips back inside the valkyrie*
Morgan: Okay! *He joins Mel and sets to work happily*


*The soldiers rush up several flights of stairs and burst into the hall*
Soldier: M'Lord! Are you-
Reinhardt: The situation has been dealt with... we need burials and a pyre for Duke Milo...
*Several soldiers gasp and look saddened as the leader nods sollumly*
Soldier: Yes sir...
*The Soldiers begin clearing the hall and several run out to build a pyre*

*Shrugs*
What prank?
*Looks at Jake and brushes hair out of face*
I couldn't care. Though talking would be easier, cause I don't have any cards.

~

M: He died doing what he was meant to do. Leave it at that. The dead should be left to rest.
*Winces at Kara's tight hug, but doesn't pull away*
M: Are you hurt?

~

*Joalia nods triumphantly and returns the kisses*
*Pushes Santiago down and sits upright*

*I begin pointing out the names of each piece and what they do as I begin re-assembling the engine*

*Wade nods before grinning at Denny*

DP: I'd love a drink. And I was in Drone Man's suit, and he was in mine. Joalia ended up stabbing Drone Man though, the fella had to bite his lip from screaming.



*Kara shakes her head*

K: Nothing serious. Just... tired. Used a lot of magic tonight, it's draining. And you? I know winced just then when I held you.

*Kara looks down at Maiev's side and winces*

K: Kadan...



*Santiago puts his hands on Joalia's hips and ignores how silly he probably looks with his face covered by Joalia's bra*

*Mikkeal is still cradling his son and crying quietly. Mia starts explaining to Reinhardt what happened*


*Morgan nods and listens intently*


*Aoife lies on one of the couches watching Dria paint Quetz*

*Jake nods to Denny.*

Jake: That's fine we can just talk and drink.

*He smiles at her, and orders a drink for Deadpool.*

Jake: Drone man? Who's that?

*I step back and wave at the engine*
You want to finish this? Consider it a test of your skills.
*I take my helmet off and run my hand through my close-cropped hair*

*Morgan frowns and start working on the engine with his tongue poking out in concentration*

*I stand off to the side*
*quietly*
You can do this Morgan. You know how to do this, just keep your head on.

*Orders another drink and hiccups*
Oof...I'm getting there...What do you want to talk about?

~

*Joalia smiles and gently moves her hips forwards and backwards*
Joal: (I like my one better as well.)

~

*Maiev shakes her head and holds Kara*
M: I'll be fine...

*Morgan nods and fiddles with a screwdriver then a wrench*
*A loud thud, some scrabbling and a squeal come from inside the Valkyrie*

*I look up*
What the feth?
*I turn to Morgan*
Keep working, I'll be back in a second.
*I open the side hatch and peer in*
Darcy?

*Commissar shrugged after Nova ignored him and went to the bar, getting a few beers and sitting alone in a corner booth*

*Blake is managing the bar and nods to Commissar as he enters*

*Leo walks into the door with a loud thud*

Leo: *Muffled by door* FETH!
