*Aly tilts her head, and keeps on healing herself, despite her not having a lot of magicka left*
A: No. And she insulted myself and my kind. That's why we fought.

~

*Denny feels the hug tighten, and nods*
D: Well we'll check it out. Very soon, too. Now, if you want.

~

*Joal frowns, and wraps her tail around Santiago to pull him to her*

*Crossbow was norm and Helmet wasn't enchanted, but instead crafted specially*


*Mergoux sighs and curls up on the couch to fall asleep*

David: I'm sure you're not partly to blame for this at all, I'm sure Merg just wanted to start gak.
*He sighs.*
David: You're a real piece of work lady, you know that? What's so bad about knowing each others names?

---
*Jake holds Denny, and sighs.*
Jake: I mean...
*He sighs, and snuggles closer to Denny.*
Jake: Sure.

A: Because. That would just ruin the mystery, wouldn't it?
*She's still leaning against a rock, holding her foot/leg*
A: What are you still doing here?

~

*Denny holds Jake for a little longer, then gets up*
D: Just in case something happens, I'll jump into my armour. This'll all be over soon babes, just stop worrying.

*David sighs with frustration.*
David: Jesus lady! Just trying to fething help... That's all.
*Looks at her damaged leg, and sighs.*
David: You sure you will be okay?

---
*Jake nods to Denny, and watches her get dressed.*
Jake: Damn I'm lucky.
*He gets dressed as well, and lights another cigarette.*
*The strange feeling in his side remains constant.*

A: In time, I will. I'm sure the girl is looking for you. Go back to her and return to trying to have intercourse with her. She most likely won't say no.
*Keeps healing herself*

~

*Denny gets into her armour a while after Jake finishes getting dressed, and nods*
D: Lead the way cowboy.

*Santiago gets pulled towards Joalia, and hugs her*
*frowns at her frown*
S: What's wrong?

*Voskrinod lands on a branch near Aly and David, and watches the encounter*

*David sighs.*
David: Great. Somewhat glad to hear it...
*He stands up, and laughs.*
David: Intercourse? She is nice on the eyes, but I'd hate to taint her pure body with my foul presence! She'll find someone much better I am sure.

----
*Jake takes Denny's hand, and starts walking towards the mainroom.*
*The sense of unease grows with every step.*
---
*The figure twitches at the bar, for some reason.*

*Aly tilts her head, and looks up at David*
A: Don't try to play high and mighty. I know where your perverted mind goes.

~

*Denny follows Jake, kinda noticing his unease if it's noticable, and doesn't if it isn't*

~

*Elise and Gandrea are sleeping off several days of shopping*
*Elise is in the chair beside Ganny's bed again, cause she's not about to sleep in the same bed as the mentally fethed person yet*

~

*Joalia points at Merg, and mostly her wounds, then looks back at Santiago*
*Tilts her head, and looks kinda worried*

*David snaps his fingers comically.*
David: Drat! Sooo... no threesome with the elves?
*He laughs, and slaps his knee.*
David: Sure I may be a "man" but doesn't mean I'm a piece of gak, I'm just trying to help Merg, just like how I'm trying to help you.

---
*Jake walks into the mainroom.*
*The uneasy feeling grows.*

---
*The figure stands up, and finds the darkest corner in the bar.*

*Aly tilts her head, not understanding the joke, and starts forming a ice spike in between David's feet*
A: I would never. You're a human, for one. Disgusting creature.
*Tilts her head at his last comment, and laughs*
A: You wouldn't be able to help me even if I let you.

~

*Denny follows*
*Low-key has a hand on her M6*

*marinalia wanders back and heads back to main room carrying a print out with list of repairs for shuttle that's rather quite extensive*

*waves one handed to anyone about as still using stick as leg not fully recovered and grabs a coffee in kitchen*

...

*Marla and Maria catch up on things*

...

*barbarians start trek back carrying a large stack of furs, antlers, teeth and various bits that can be sold *

*David laughs.*
David: Don't worry honey. I wouldn't want to be with you, it was a joke.
*He tilts his head as his armor registers the spike in temperature.*
David: Of course, and with that I'll be on my way.
*Snaps his fingers, a sudden surge on energy closes around the Ice spike, and atomizes it in a flash.*

---
*Jake shakes his head.*
Jake: Not here..
*Looks somewhat frustrated as he looks around the room.*

*group of barbarians enter the room and 12 file in, one woman, nonac. Sons including one a blacksmith *

*carrying large hunting cargos all trope like barbarians *

*nonac*
Nights get cold. Fires burn low.
Natural furs warmest way. Also antlers, teeth, bone and claw.

We have fur. You have gold. We can trade.

*marinalia waves to Jake before looks somewhat suprised by clan before heading over looking for a decent rug for her room*

...

*marilania picks up a large pale fur rug and gets it dropped off by a barbarian. *
*goes to bed*

*nonac*
We be at hall market.. Prices good. Quality best.
Tell your clans.

*barbarians head off to a good trade in furs and hunting rellated items*

Ooc night folks.

*Curt starts driving back to the room after hanging with the people who needed the medical supplies*

*He hums on the road again*

*Santiago nods*
S: David's gel should hold, but I'll see to her as well.
*smiles*
S: She'll be taken care of. Don't worry.
*tightens the hug before heading back over to Merg to make sure the wounds are taken care of*

*Voskrinod is ready to change if a fight breaks out*

*Mergoux is sleeping on the couch, p tired*


*Black Hawk is in the bar, hustling pool*


*Gharn carefully extricates himself from Dria and smiles down at her sleeping form*
*He puts the blanket over her again then goes for a run*

*David mocks going back to the room with two steps.*
David: But I still need Mergs stuff, so can I get that? Maybe I can trade something for her gear?

--
*Jake checks the kitchen, and gets even more of a uneasy feeling.*

*Mergoux gets up, goes to her room, gets into lighter sleeptime clothes and falls asleep *


*Black Hawk leaves with his winnings and goes to bed*

A: No. Spoils of battle.
*She doesn't say anything at the ice spike being atomized, but she stands up in case David wants to fight for it*

~

*Denny follows Jake, kinda getting worried at his demeanor*

*David sighs.*
David: Please.. lets not do this.. I can trade you something? Or pay you?
*He rolls his shoulders.*
David: I won't leave without her gear. So if you won't give it to me, then I'll be forced to take it.

---
*Jake looks around the kitchen one last time, before draggin Denny to the bar.*
*As he approaches the bar, the pain in his side worsens ten fold.*

*Aly smirks, then crosses her arms*
A: You wouldn't be able to take it from me if you tried. But I might give it to you if you tempt me with something. Up to you to figure out what.
*Low-key waiting out her Slow Time shout*

~

*Denny follows, and squeezes Jake's hand with hers, just to make sure he's okay*
*She's in her suit, but still knows how to be gentle in it*

~

*Elise wakes up, and smiles at Gandrea, who is already awake and trying on the clothes*
*Gandrea notices Elise waking up, and gets shy again*
*Elise just moves over and hugs Gandrea*
E: It's okay. You know I'm a friend.
*Gandrea don't talk*

*David shakes his head.*
David: You have already vexed me enough...soooo I'm done.
*In a flash of light David warps in front of Aly. He manages not to hit her, cause that would probably pulverize her sternum, but instead bumps into her very, very hard.*
*Also causes her to be weightless from lack of gravity.*

---
*Jake scans the bar, and notices the figure in the dark corner of the room.*
* He starts walking towards them, and draws his magnum.*
Jake: Who the feth are you?!
*Figure just remains silent, and sips their whiskey.*

*Santiago watches Merg head off to bed and shakes his head*
S: I'll check on her when she's awake.
*heads back over to Joalia*
S: Got any ideas for today?

*Daveth heads back to Ganny's room and knocks on the door*
D: Elise?

*Voskrinod leaps off of the branch and changes into his dragon form*
*growls and sends a blast of fire into the air*

*Aly gets sent sprawling away due to weightlessness and force being exerted onto her, so she slams into a tree as hard as she was hit by David*
*Gets the wind knocked out of her, so she's kinda stunned*
*Also stunned cause of David's speed*

~

*Denny remains silent, but is still p daunting in her armour and posture*

~

*Joalia shrugs, and wraps her tail around Santiago's hand*
*Looks him over with her big beady eyes, and smiles slightly*
*Points in the general direction of their dome*

~

*Elise looks at the door, then back at Gandrea, just to make sure she's clothed*
E: Come in Daveth. We're awake.
*She sits down on the bed with Gandrea resting on her shoulder, cause she's still shy*

*Santiago smiles and nods*
S: Let's go.
*wheels Joalia off to the dome*

*Daveth walks into the room and nods to Elise and Gandrea*
D: How are you? Both of you.

*marinalia and heads out her room and sits down in the main room reading over thr list of repairs*

*waves to anyone present leaving stick against the sofa and lies back resting her bad leg*

*Maria heads out for a jog with Marla and fluffy as wanting some fresh air waving on leaving*

...

*barbarian busy at a market near room bartering for stuff, selling furs n trading*

...

*David in one fluid motion draws his N7 crusader (Big shotgun), and aims it at Vosk. Realizes it's Vosk, and lowers his gun.*
David: Hey Vosk, how you doing bud?
*Looks towards the floating Aly, and looks back at Vosk.*
David: Soooo... this is awkward.

---
*The figure slowly rises from his seat.*
Figure: Hail.. Jake of New York.. well met.
*The color drains from Jake's face, and he aims at the figure's head.*
Figure: Will you shoot a member of your tet?
Jake: You're dead! The tet is gone! This is some trick!
*Jake fires, and the figures head jerks back from the round. Grey matter sprays out from the shot, but instead of falling the figure still stands.*
*Before Jake can fire again, the figure draws his own magnum and empties the cylinder into Jake's chest with gunslinger speed.*
*Jake's chest is riddled with bullets, but still manages to stand and fire at the figure.*

*Voskrinod turns his head to Aly, and looks back at David*
*growls again and shakes his head*

*Aly shakes her head from the stunned'ness, and makes two ice spikes, then throws them both at David*
*Honestly is too pissed off to really care about Vosk, dragon or not, and she knows it's him so she isn't in immediate danger*

~

*Denny again, doesn't say anything, and grabs the figure by the throat, and smashes him through the table*
*Starts trying to punch the figures head into nothing, and unless augmented by some magic or something, that is exactly what would happen*
*Denny be seeing red*

~

*Joalia smiles, and puts a hand on one of Santiago's*
*Bobs her head to the side to some silent tune in her head*

~

*Elise nods, but Gandrea barely reacts*
E: We're good. Took her shopping, and I hope she had fun. How about you?
*Pats the bed beside her (that Gandrea is not sitting on), and smiles*
E: You know I don't bite unless you ask me to.

*David sighs as his barrier get's hit by the ice spikes.*
David: I am not leaving without Mergs stuff, and that is final.
*He puts away his shotgun, and looks up at Vosk.*
David: Now I don't want to fight you, or her for that matter, I just want the stuff then I will go. Simple as that.

---
*Figure doesn't even try to shoot Denny, and his head is quickly pulverized.*
*In the brief instant before the figures head is caved in, Denny is able to see a gaunt face with brownish grey hair. Also the figure has two bullet holes through his face, one ancient, the other fresh from Jake's shot.*
*Jake is in a lot of pain, but for whatever reason none of his vitals were shot. Though the pain of getting shot six times, with the addition of losing blood causes him to slump on a chair.*
*Watches Denny pound out the figures head, and dealing with the whirlpool of emotions.*

*Aly frowns at the ineffectiveness of her magic, but keeps magicking*

~

*Denny doesn't even spare the corpse a moments notice, and runs to Jake*
*Picks him up effortlessly, and runs straight through a wall to go to the med-bay faster*

*Marla/npc medic in med bay depending on varden/totaly ignored and med supplies in the bay as normal labeled for various injuries kits*

*marla/npc medic*
*Sees Denny coming as I guess hard to miss a Spartan who ran through a wall*

What's the emergency?
Shot, stabbed, magic wounds that make feth no sense?

...

*marilania busy reading through list of shuttle damage on sofas*
*reading stuff n shuttle hbdbook*

*David maintains his barrier, but the magicka is like sharp nails scratching his brain.*
David: God fething dammit lady!
*Makes a singularity orb, which pulls Aly over to him.*
David: Give me the gak, and I'll let you go.

----
*Jake grits his teeth at being picked up.*
Jake: Wait.. Den.. Just..

*The figures corpse twitches.*

*Santiago takes Joalia to the dome and looks around*
S: It's good to be home.

*Daveth smiles and sits down*
D: I've been well, and recovering from that cave.
*looks over at Gandrea*
D: Has she spoken yet?

*Voskrinod growls again as David forms the orb, and swipes at him (not with enough force to kill him, but to basically try and bat him aside)*

*Aly swaps to a constant ray of frost while she gets pulled closer to David, then stops as to not freeze any part of Vosk while he swipes*

~

*Denny blanks Marla, considering she's stupid enough to not be able to tell the difference between a gunshot wound and a stab wound*
D: What is it, Jake?
*Sits down Jake on the ground, and pulls off some of his shirt to tie around the wound to stem the bleeding*

~

*Joalia looks around as well, and smiles*
*Wheels herself over to the kitchen, and smiles more*
*Opens up the cupboard, and pulls out some biscuits to nom on*
*Gets some stuff out of the fridge, and starts making a salad for Santiago*
*Adds spicy tuna to it so she doesn't get a cranky mexican boyfriend*

~

*Elise looks between Daveth and Gandrea, then shakes her head*
E: Silent as always. I think she's recovering as well.
*Puts a hand on both Daveth's leg, and on Gandrea's, who flinches from the mildly uncomfortable touch*
E: But I'm here to help both of you recover.

*Marla vanishes into thin air back to her office then as a running person holding someone plus bleeding and clothes is not gonna be entirely obvious at first glance what caused them. *

*npc medic passes Denny a bullet wound kit with bandages and med gear as t shirts make less effichant ways to stem a bullet wound and depending if exit wound extraction tools for shrapnal and solid bullets*

*David doesn't expect Vosk to do hit him, and gets swatted to the side.*
*Barrier breaks momentarily as the force shatters it ,plus being weakened from ice ray.*
David: What the feth?! I am doing the god damn right thing ass hat! Are you not getting the situation?!
*He stands up, and in his rage purple energy bubbles off him.*
David (In a cold tone): Last fething chance. Give me the fething helmet and the crossbow, or I will feth both your days up.
*The N7 Crusader extends on his back, and he grabs the guns grip in his final warning gesture.*

---
*Jake groans and shakes his head.*
Jake: He.. isn't dead..

*Figures head slowly reforms, and he silently gets to his feet.*
*Though his head reforms, the ancient bullet hole just above his left eye still remains.*

*Cal wakes up and heads to work then starts following the dripping trail of blood from Jake towards him and Denny*


*Morgan and Dria go to the kitchen for breakfast*


*Gharn is on his was back from a hunt deep in the woods*


*Black Hawk goes back to the bar and sees the riled up customers and the body, frowns slightly and kicks the leg on the figure just in case*
*He steps back sharply as the figure stands up*
BH: Err... Hello?
e*Has a hand on his own pistol, which is a suped-up Deagle*


*Mergoux sits up on her bed, thinking. Eventually she sighs and starts getting dressed*

*marinalia waves over to Morgan looking up from a rather long list of repairs*

Hey... Morning.
Got the repair list... Its rather long. Microfractured the wing spar and other rather bad things.

*Morgan walks over to and smiles*
Morgan: Hey! How you healing up?
*Sees the list*
Morgan: Anything I can help with?

*Aly holds out one of her hands, and it forms a rippling barrier between herself and David*
A: It is rightfully mine.
*While she says that, she starts forming another ice spike*

~

*Denny nods, and stands up*
*Points at the nearest medic*
D: You fix him up. If you don't, I'll kill you and your family.
*With that, she turns, and goes back to the bar*

*medic scared*
Ok .

*starts fixing Jake and carefully remocing bullets if in there. marveling probbly at the fact he took 6 magnum calibred shots and not hit a vital organ.*

...

*marinalia waves from a aofa*
Few more days and I can walk unaided if I take it easy.

It was brutal... But it als was a clean break.

Umm well if your a aero engineer. *shows him a rather long and complicated list of parts that are broken, need replacing etc including wing struts from pull up, badly burned nose plating and landing gear at front that was nigh fused solid as seals melted*

*David shakes his head.*
David: No you stole it from her, do not act high and mighty for that.
*He draws his shotgun, and shakes his head.*
David: You think that preying on the weak is honorable, well I beg to differ!

---
*Jake sighs at Denny's remark.*
Jake: Throw him into a cell.. killing him won't work..

*Figure doesn't even bother to look at black hawk, just picks up his hat, and puts it on.*
*Then grabs a random full glass at the bar, and drinks it.*

*Santiago smiles as he watches Joalia make the sad*
*muy appreciation for the tuna*

*Voskrinod moves to stand in front of Aly*
*sends a blast of fire at the ground directly in front of him as his own warning*

*Daveth smiles at Elise and puts an arm around her*
D: The idea of you as a nurse is fitting. And one worth seeing.

*Morgan looks through the list, but shakes his head doubtfully*
Morgan: I could probably make this stuff... but I wouldn't have a clue how to install it
*He nods to her*
Morgan: Well at least you're healing
*He looks down at his own cast*
Morgan: This is taking longer than I thought it would.


*Black Hawk's eyebrows shoot up even higher*


*Denny probs passes Cal on her way back to the bar and he sighs*
Cal: (Probably Jake... hope the boy is alright...)
*Goes to find Jake and help the medic helping him*

*Aly smirks underneath her mask, and holds her barrier up, waiting for David to make the first move*
A: I won it by beating her in combat. No cheating.

~

*Denny stalks into the bar, then cracks her knuckles*
D: You better start talking, or your head is gunna be a bloody football, mate.
*Looks pissed, even though she's in her armour*

~

*Joalia makes the saddest sad, and serves it to Santiago cause she likes sad*
*Smiles at him, then goes back to nibbling at the biscuit*

~

*Elise giggles, and leans on Daveth*
E: I'm sure I have a uniform somewhere. I'll be sure to show you around it.
*Gandrea feels as though she's in the middle of something she shouldn't be in, and tries moving away*
*Elise pulls her onto her lap, and smiles*
E: Don't worry, I'll stop making innuendos and spend more time with you.
*Elise smiles (more) at Daveth again*
E: Isn't she just the cutest?

*marinalia *

Yeah. That's walking. Il still have to take it easy for abit after.

Can,t cal help with aura to maybe speed ot up abit? I think it works that way.

I found a flight engineer at shuttle pads. But even then its just alot of parts to replace, and test. Fitting and swapping them all is a slow process.

...

*medic glad of caps help and busies with fixing Jake up and such*

*David shakes his head, angry at the situation.*
David: So be it, then I'll have to do the same to you both.
*He does his biotic charge slamming into Vosk face, and point blank blasting him with the N7 (Shotgun shoots a Precise bolt of energy.)*
*David then plummets from Vosk's head, and does a biotic slam in front of Aly.*

---
*The figure sighs, and slowly shakes his head.*
Figure: I have come for Roland's gun.. I won't leave till I get it.
*He grinds his teeth for a moment, weighing his words.*
Figure: He.. won't understand.. But I need to take it...

*Curt parks in the garage and heads towards the door to the main room*

*He rolls his shoulders and yawns*

*Black Hawk draws his gun*
BH: I don't know what's going on exactly...
*Moves to stand next to Denny*
BH: But generally speaking I tend to not trust the people with bulletholes through their face.


*Mergoux goes for to the kitchen for food*


*Morgan shrugs*
Morgan: He says I should see what it feels like to break a bone and let it heal normally. Not just expect a instant fix all the time. Anyways, I can get started on those once my cast comes off if you like

*Santiago smiles again and starts eating the sad*
*only thing sadder is Joalia becoming a crippled mute*

*Voskrinod roars and whips his head back and forth at the hits*
*whips his tail at David from behind*

*Daveth smirks*
D: She certainly looks a lot better than when you first brought her here.

*marinalia smiles*
Thanks... Your almost too kind. Il be a while before I can fly again anyway. Maria insissts my leg fully heal first... I'm literally grounded!

Drive in a few days.. Manual. I can,t quite manage that yet.


Welcome to being mortal.
*laughs slightly*

...

*medic stilll working on Jake until cal says otherwise or zk.

*Aly holds her ward out in front of her, and considering it can take a Fus Ro Dah, it'd hold against a slam*
*The ward itself breaks, which makes Aly pull her hand back from the recoil and pain, but it quickly forms another ice spike, which she holds, and moves into David to start slashing at him*

~

*Denny doesn't react, and wraps a hand around the figures neck*
D: Not gonna happen, Mate.
*Rams the figures head into a wall*

~

*Joal cut from being a mute cripple dayum*
*Eats her biscuit silently cause she can't talk. Cause she a mute cripple*
*She feels her crippling depression almost as much as she feels her crippled muteness*

~

*Elise smiles as well, and pats Gandrea's hair, who is very, very awkward rn*
E: Some food and a little pampering helps everyone.
*Pat pat pat*

*Morgan shrugs*
Morgan: We're all, well okay most of us are mortal, some just live a lot longer


*Black Hawk keeps his gun out but relaxes slightly cause Denny's got this*

*David turns towards Aly, and takes a second debating on blowing a hole in her upper half as she charges him. He sighs at his paragon ways, and doesn't see the tail coming.*
*He gets swatted aside, probably does a few rolls, but quickly jumps to his feet.*
*David then pulls from his belt a small blue ball, which he throws between Vosk and Aly. It explodes into a series of blue explosions that take away gravity and cause a good deal of damage.*

---
*Figure doesn't react, and he slumps as his head is once more pulverized.*

*Jake sits silently waiting for the nurses to fix him.*
*Has more pain coming from his head, then the bullet wounds.*

*marilania*

Round here.. Most...
Some gak is just too crazy. Even bolt weapons are unpowered.

Oh.. And if your after a fur rug. Just outside fenris hall outside room is a market. Some rather muscular guys have a rather good range...

One was a rather much gentleman n carried over to my room.

Goodnight.
*hugs, and goes to bed grabbing stick as she stands up*

...

*barbarians still trading away and making bags of gold"

...

*medic finishes up with Jake and bandages him up*
No one listions to us. Or thr doctors.

But rest up. You lost quite abit of blood. Even if it is a few hours.

*medic goes off leaving Jake to rest *

*Morgan frowns slightly at the tale about the gentleman and hugs back*
Morgan: Sleep well.


*Mergoux goes to the bar, sees the commotion and frowns. She pulls out her sword but keeps it lowered as Black Hawk quicky gives her a brief explanation*
*She then shrugs and orders a drink, then sits in a corner*


*Cal nods to Jake*
Cal: You're lucky to be alive. Mind if I ask what happened?

*Santiago quickly eats through the salad and then kisses the top of Joalia's head*
S: Tasted great, Joal.

*Daveth smirks as he watches Elise pat Gandrea*
*low key picturing Elise in the nurse outfit, but doesn't want to say anything else because it'd make Ganny uncomfortable*

*Voskrinod turns to face David properly again, and takes a half step backwards to avoid the brunt of the explosions*
*fires a gout of flames at David, and hopes that he has some way to not get killed by them*

*Aly turns away from the explosion, makes an ice wall in between her and the explosion, then holds Merg's helmet in her free hand that isn't making the ice wall*
*Freezes Merg's helmet, then throws it against the ground to shatter it into pieces*
*The ice wall breaks from the explosion, which means Aly is gonna be absolutely shredded, cause grenades aren't going to mix well with medieval armour*

~

*Denny strips the figure of his weapons, then drags his body to a cell, then throws it inside, and locks it*
*She stands outside of the cell, cause she knows Jake is in good hands*

~

*Joalia smiles, and nods at Santiago, then wheels herself over to him, and hugs his waist*
*Pats him on the head with her tail*
*Pat pat pat*

~

*Elise eventually pats Gandrea to sleep, so she carefully extracts herself from underneath her, and smirks at Daveth*
E: You have a room, right?

OOC: I'll allow it. I did want to kinda play up the cool effect I had for it but I think storywise it's better this way
BiC:
*Merg's helmet breaks into several pieces but doesn't like shatter into a ton of tiny shards. More like a dozen or so chunks*

*David tries to hold his barrier, but it collapses pretty quick from the onslaught of fire.*
*He manages to boost out of the flames a little, but his armor is red hot, and parts of his flesh are melded to it.*

*The biotic grenades mostly take away gravity, and the damage isn't very high. So the ice wall would explode but it's shards are harmless sense there is no gravity.*

---
*Figure slowly regenerates in the cell, then rises to his feet.*
*Doesn't say a word to Denny, just stands there and waits.*

*Jake groans as he gets to his feet.*
Jake: I don't know, but I plan to find out.
*Starts heading towards the cell, and Denny.*

*Since there is no gravity the shards are even more dangerous, cause there's no other force acting on the shards apart from the force of the explosion, so there isn't anything that can decrease the velocity of the shards unless it encounters an outside object, ie. Alythyss*

~

*Denny stands by the cell, not taking her eyes off the figure at all*

*Santiago puts a hand on Joalia's waist, and leans forwards to kiss her properly*

*Daveth nods*
D: That I do. More than enough for one person. Plenty for two, on the other hand.

*Voskrinod sends a gout of flames at the ice shards, and moves forwards to block David and Aly from one another*

*Honestly sense it is golden dragon fire, and it pretty damn hot david's brains are cooked and he dies.*
*Stops crawling and slumps to the ground dead.*
*His implants cause a timed singularity, and he is sucked into a miniature black hole which promptly pops after he is sucked into it.*

---
*Jake makes his way to the cells, but is pretty slow sense he just got shot.*

*Aly dead after her neck was slashed by a lucky ice shard*

~

*Denny still waits at the cell*

~

*Joalia sneakily pulls Santiago onto the wheelchair, and continues kissing her mexican*
*She so sneaky she manages to get a hand into the mexican's pants(or doesn't if he's wearing his armour)*

~

*Elise smiles again, and wraps Gandrea with blankets*
E: I mean, that's convenient, isn't it?
*Covers herself with her wings, then uncovers herself to be wearing the kinky nurse outfit*
E: Want to walk to your room, or me teleport us?

*Santiago puts a hand on Joalia's chest as she moves her hand*

*Voskrinod changes into his human form after the singularity*
*face is pretty fethed up from the shots he took*
V: Aly'ssys? You alrigh'?
*coughs up some blood and turns around to face Alythyss*
*curses and makes his way over to her body, which he lifts up slightly and feels for a pulse (not that he'd find one)*

*Daveth admires the outfit and smirks at Elise*
D: Walk. It lets me admire the view more.
*slips a hand around Elise and starts walking towards his room*

*Aly be dead as feth boiiii*

~

*Joalia's smile widens as she pulls her hand out of Santiago's pants, and points towards their bedroom*

*Elise giggles, and moves in step with Daveth, smiling at all the looks she's getting from around the room, cause there's bound to be some*
E: Good choice.

~

*Gandrea opens her eyes, and sits up on the bed*
*Looks around, and grabs some of the clothes Elise bought her*
*Puts them on, then sits down again on the bed*
*Looks at herself in the mirror*

*Voskrinod sighs and gently sets Alythyss back down onto the ground*
V: I have failed you. I owed you my life, but couldn't save yours.
*slowly pulls Alythyss' mask off so he can see her face, and closes her eyes if they weren't already shut*
V: May your next life be better.
*With that, Voskrinod sets the mask into one of Aly's hands, and changes back into his dragon form*
*he then proceeds to burn the surrounding area, making a funeral pyre for Alythyss and to mark the spot of David's death too*

*Santiago kisses Joalia again, and lifts her up as he kisses her*
*carries Joalia off to their bedroom*

*Daveth takes Elise to his room, and kicks the door shut behind them*
D: Maker have mercy...
*admires Elise's new outfit and puts a hand on her ass*
D: ...because I have none to give.
*grins as he pulls Elise onto the bed*

*marilania steps put and glances Elise before she vanishes to get rather busy*

Well... Damn. (still prefer air hostess to maid..)
*heads over to kitchen and makes self some food*

*Maria jogs back with fluffy who curls up onba sofa because comfey and goes to ser marla*

*Joal smiles as she's carried off, and holds the kiss for as long as she can for breath, which is a decently long time*

~

*Elise yelps in surprise, and giggles as she tugs at Daveth's clothing*
E: Go ahead then, Slayer.

*Jake finally makes it to the cell, and nods to Denny.*
Jake: You alright?
*Figure stands up, and smiles.*
Figure: I'm fething peachy.
Jake: Not you, I'll get to you.

*Denny nods, and stands up straight*
D: I am fine. You should be resting.
*Looks at the figure, and draws her M6*
D: I can shoot him again, if you like.

*Jake shakes his head, and hugs Denny. Low-key leaning on her, but hides his pain well.*
Jake: I'm okay.. and please don't shoot him.
*The figure stands, and watches the pair silently.*
Jake: Den, I need to speak to him alone.

*Denny is slightly hurt by that, but nods, and hugs Jake as well*
D: I'll be... Outside. Yell if you need me. Don't strain yourself too hard.
*Goes and waits out the front of the jail/holding place*

*Jake feels Denny's hurt, and quickly snatches her hand before she can go.*
Jake: I'll be right out, Den...I just... need to speak to him alone... this will be a quick palaver.
*He watches Denny go, then turns to the figure.*
*The pair talk.*

*marilania goes over to sofas and fusses fluffy abit before relaxing with a meal and a drink*

*fluffy lazes on a sofa and watches Marilania and smells room keeping a nose on the place*

...

*barbarians running low on furs to trade and now richer and well stocked on things they need*

*Mergoux comes out of the bar and looks around for David in the main room, lounge and kitchen before starting towards outside*


*Gharn wraps up cleaning his kill (a large bear) in the kitchen and takes the fur off to make a cloak out of which, aside from leggings/pants, is the only piece of clothing he knows how to make*

*a rather large barbarian I'm thick furs, leathers and a symbol of a anvil round neck, a large smiths hammer at waist approaches kitchen from trade area*

*notices gharn*
Ja, at last . Real man.
Me and my brothers seek a hall to drink many ales and celebrate.

*marilania relaxed with fluffy on sofas*

...

*maria and Marla head out med bay and go to one of repressord talking and wave to gharn and anyone else in room*

*Mergoux ignores Maria and Marla and heads outside*


*Gharn snorts*
Gharn: I'm more than just a man, human. If you want a hall, try (gives directions to the Fenris hall)
*Goes back to his cloak making*


*Morgan walks out and sees Maril, smiles and heads over*
Morgan: Hey! How are you feeling?


*Dria wakes up and looks around to see Gharn missing then examines the statue Rita got him*

*barbarian*

*flexes a heavily muscled arm*
, and I'm a hunter of the Northern clans.

*meets a equaly large brother who shakes hand with a muscular preadetor style grip*

Nonac, meet him at the Bar, found one.

*both nod at fact and turn to head off to bear joining about 8 others all in furs, and muscular*

*blacksmith *
Later hunter.

...

*marilania smiles *
Hey!
*fluffy turns round and calms reconising morgan seeming to be guarding marilania with a paw on her good leg*

*marilania gently fusses her *
Easy girl...

She protective of us. Marla thought I needed a friend.
I'm.. Alright. I gotta get back used to the place.
So many couples, so many people.

*Morgan nods and sits*
Morgan: How are you... coping.. with everything?
*Talking about Victor*


*Scatty goes to sit on the roof again*

*Voskrinod flies away from the burning section of the woods (which would be rather noticeable, considering one gold dragon created a desert with its fire once)*
*circles the site for a bit, before flying back towards the room*

*Santiago sets Joalia on the bed and keeps kissing her*
*still has a hand on her chest*

*Daveth has a lot of venting to do, so he isn't too gentle*

*a larger barbarian than before and older looks round with a massive longsword and rather expensive furs and boots*

You seen my sons... They sought hall to feast.
Man of hall normally knows its goings and comings.

...

*marilania pets fluffy slightly*
Easy girl... He ok.

Well as expected.. I just still cannot forget those last few minutes... His family... Not happy. Though my family name is keeping them off my back. They thought I was just using him. Not popular with em. There minor nobility off some smaller planet.

*sighs*
*points to a rifle case just inside her door*
Can you just... Find somewhere for that.... It was his...
Keep it, store it, whatever . Please.

*Gharn sighs and gives the woman directions again*
Gharn: Why are you even feasting? Did you win a battle?


*Morgan nods*
Morgan: I'll take care of it. Now... this family, why would they blame you? And where are they now?
*Seems angry at the very idea of them putting the blame on Maril*


*Mergoux sees the fire, grits her teeth, quickly puts on a breastplate, greaves and bracers then draws her sword and starts moving towards the fire*

*barbarian woman looks at gharn eying him over*
Northn clans came to hunt. Our land suffered too long winter.
We made much furs and gold to sustain our people.

Come to our camp ol show what a real woman can do. Hunter.
*goes to turn to walk to hall*

...

*marilania*
Because to them.. I was some Princess who was a walking target, maybe would leave him when I found a richer more ranked guy... Its all imperial politics and ranks and ... *shakes head making it clear it nor true*


Oh... They tied up in more damned paperwork than sense.
You seen impirum, you saw terra.. We know how to make a system Byzantium as possible.

*Gharn frowns but is intrigued and walks after the woman*


*Morgan glowers*
Morgan: Still... it's not right for you to be treated like that. I'll take care of Victor's gun, let me know if there's anything else you need okay?
*Gets up to go polish Victor's gun to obscene levels of cleanliness and mount it somewhere with a little plaque about Victor below it*

*gun is a m16 style rifle with grenade launcher. *
*scoped variant sat in a open case on a side table in her room smaller like a m4 and obviously good rifle*

*marilania*
Not right but I am a target...
I always am going to be. *rather sadly put*

*heads off to her room*

...

*barbarian woman winks at gharn*
So .. You think you can get my furs off...

Maybe.. Hunter.
*heads off to hall to join sons and nonac round a large table all feasting and celebrating a good proceeds for the clan*

Ooc night.
Gotta drop off Easter eggs in morning.

*Morgan looked over at Maril*
Morgan: Well if you're a target, then I'll protect you.
*He nods simply then goes to take care of Vicky's gun*


*Gharn stares at the woman, missing the innuendo as per usual*
Gharn: Of course I can. I'm much bigger than you.
*Stands 5'10*
*Follows along and joins the feast*
OOC: Either pause or something if you sleep Jhe. I don't mind either way

Ooc pause.

I can start up again my morning with gharn.
Poor clueless gharn!

*Voskrinod probably flies right over Merg, and changes directions to go to a lake instead*
*tears through the drowners that were settled there, and starts greedily drinking the water*

*Freya finally reappears and begins walking from the tree line towards the main room*

*Scatty sees Freya approaching from where she's sitting on the roof*
*If Freya is recognizable she waves, if not she drops down to challenge the armed knight walking towards the room*


*Merg sees the Dragon, grips her sword tighter and runs towards the flaming area*

*Freya isn't all that recognizable right now*
*in place of her longsword she is equipped with a flail and shield, and her entire armor set has changed to now look like my profile*
*armor is dented and scratched in places*

*Scatty drops down and draws her swords*
Scatty: Hold it. Who are you?

*Freya pauses for a second before chuckling*
Don't you recognize me Scatty? I leave you for a decade and you go and forget all about me. If I wasn't so tired I'd consider being offended.
*adjusts her grip on her flail*

*Voskrinod sends another stream of fire around him before changing into his human form*
*kneels down in front of the water and starts washing his face*

*Aside from the fire itself, along with the black hole that David caused, there probably isn't much to see but fire, smoke, and ash*

*Mergoux can't get to close to the flames because hot, but starts
moving around them, searching for any hint of corpses*


*Scatty breathes a sigh of relief and smiles wanly*
Scatty: Freya.. I didn't realize it was you

*Freya takes off her helmet to reveal her face*
In the flesh.
*she now has several fine scars on her face and neck, and a few more disappearing down below where her armor covers*
Look at you! You haven't aged a day.

*Scatty smiles and moves to hug Freya*
Scatty: Well neither have you. Did you expect to? 10 years is nothing to us.
*Glad to see another friend back alive*
Scatty: What happened to your face?

I almost forgot about that, still thinking like a human I suppose. As for my face, that's the result of being too close to a castle wall when a Viking catapult detonated a part of it. Sliced my face up pretty good, last time I went outside without a helmet...
*smiles happily to see a friendly face*

*Nothing remains of David except for his N7 shotgun, which is covered in soot.*

---
*Jake finishes the conversation, and begins walking out of the cell block.*
*He looks pretty damn conflicted.*

*Scatty smiles *
Scatty: Well I'm glad you're back. Good to see you. What have you been up to in the apparent 10 years you've been gone?


*Mergoux sees the shotgun and recognizes it as David's*
*She picks it up only to drop it again with a cry of pain cause heat*
*Starts looking around for David and calling his name*

*Freya keeps on smiling*
Well. I returned home for a while to tie up some loose ends that I had laying around. Then I was accused of a crime I didn't commit, got freed and conscripted as a Conqueror in the military. Fought a few wars against the Vikings and the Samurai

*Scatty frowns*
Scatty: Hm. If you had a way to contact me, I could have broken you out... How many wars can you even have in 10 years though? Even by humani standards?

Several really. I suppose you could just call it one big war though, given that it never seemed to really end. It would just ebb and flow, attack and counter attack non stop.
*looks really tired for a moment*

*Denny waits outside*

~

*Joalia smiles up at Santiago, and pulls his shirt off*
*She mouths something very suggestive, looking a lot like "put it in"*

~

*Elise is all g with Daveth being rough af*

~

*Gandrea starts drawing runes on her clothes with her fingers, which glow bright green, then fade back to nothing*

*Scatty nods*
Scatty: I... know the feeling. My- OUR race as been at war with itself since long before my birth...
*She shakes her head and smiles weakly*
Scatty: You hungry? Let's go get something from the kitchen

*Freya smiles softly*
Sure. Let's go.
*begins trudging off towards the kitchen*

*Quetz is in the kitchen chopping up vegetables for a huge pot of soup when he sees Scatty and Freya*
*He nods to them both and swoops over to smile gently at Scatty*
Quetz: Ah, hello Scatty, Freya. How are you both?

*Voskrinod turns away from the lake and resumes his journey back to the room*

*Kara is holding the limp form of Malcoy over the pool, and wordlessly drops it in*
*mouths some words in Qunlat, and waits patiently*

*Santiago raises an eyebrow, and is rather conflicted*
S: Joalia...
*glances downwards, and kisses Joalia's neck*
*follows Joalia's orders, but he's pretty gentle about it*

*Freya smiles*
I'm doing alright thank you. Bit hungry after the long walk though

*Jake walks up to Denny, and grabs her hand.*
Jake: Hey..
*He once more hugs Denny, and leans on her for support.*
Jake: He... should be dead... well not only from the beating you gave him, but he was slain long ago.. when I was still a kid.
*Jake sighs, realizing he is just rambling.*
Jake: Here lets go to our room, we can talk there.

*Quetz nods*
Quetz: Well, if you are hungry I am making soup.
*Scatty shakes her head*
Scatty: I'm alright thanks
*Sits down at the table and rests her head on her arms. looks pretty down because the last time she really saw Freya was on the road trip with her and Aoife*
*Quetz shoots her a worried look then goes back to making the soup*

*Freya also notices Scatty's sadness and debates asking her about it*
*shifts awkwardly in place as she debates and the chainmail of her armor clinks softly*

*Joalia smiled, and holds Santiago's face*
*She mouths "I love you" and "It's okay" cause she wants it real bad*

~

*Denny nods, and looks a bit worried, not that it is visible, cause armour*
*She takes Jake's hand and lets him lead*

*Quetz looks between Freya and Scatty and shakes his head sadly then looks at Freya and motions for her to step outside with him a moment*

*Should she comply he says the following*
Quetz: You are not expected to know because you have just returned... Aoife was killed not long ago, and Scatty is still trying to cope. Just... be kind with her. She lost a part of herself, as do all twins when they lose their other half.

*Freya follows silently and looks shocked at the news*
That's horrible....
*shudders with anger*
And here I had hoped to escape all the death by returning. Death follows me still...

*Quetz nods*
Quetz: Death takes us all eventually. It is her job after all

*Freya just sighs sadly before shaking her head*
Death is starting to feel like an old friend of mine....

*Quetz nods*
Quetz: Death takes us all eventually. It is her job after all.
*Sighs sadly*
Quetz: Perhaps you should not bring it up, but you should at least know

*Voskrinod reaches the room, and heads towards the medbay to see if he can find something to patch himself up with*

*Kara watches as the pool begins to bubble, and a bat-like hound crawls out*
*the hound resembles a Hound of Tindalos, kinda, and Kara has a ghost of a smile on her face*
K: Issala.

*Santiago had smiled at Joalia*
S: I love you too.
*helps Joalia with her clothing, and proceeds to use their bed in a way that hasn't been done for months*

*Freya nods*
I won't say a thing unless she brings it up herself.

*Jake leads Denny to their room, nodding to anyone on his way but not talking to anybody.*
*He walks into the room, sits at the foot of the bed, and lights up a cigarette.*
*Winces slightly from recent wounds, and then sighs.*
Jake: I don't know what to think, he was from my time with my old tet.. our bound broke when he died. Now I don't know if I should trust him.. he says he can free Roland, but needs his gun for it.
*He takes a long drag, and sighs.*

----
*Figure sits in cell, and sighs.*

D: After he shot you? Yeah fething right.
*She crosses her arms, but doesn't sit on the bed cause she'll probably break it*

~

*Joal enjoys remembering how it feels to be with her Mexicano*

*Mergoux can't find gak rn and sits with David's shotgun in her lap, thinking*


*Quetz nods*
Quetz: Alright.
*He goes back to the kitchen and finishes the huge pot of soup and starts eating himself, basically by shoving his face in the pot and slurping it up*

*Jake sighs, and runs a hand through his hair.*
Jake: I did shoot him first, he felt the best thing to do was debilitate me and take the gun.
*Smiles slightly as he looks up at Denny.*
Jake: Wasn't really expecting the power armored girlfriend.

*Denny nods, but keeps her arms crossed*
D: Still don't trust anyone who shoots my boyfriend. And speaking of shooting, you need to check yourself into the medbay to make sure you're fine.

~

*Two figured in the same armour as Alythyss walk into the burning clearing, and stride into the flames unhindered*

*Mergoux looks up at the pair from where she's sitting then stands and holds aloft her sword*
Mergoux: Who are you?
*Distrustful from the start 1) Because distrustful, and 2) Because of their armor*


*Cal probs helps Vos before going on his rounds*


*Scatty and Quetz probs talk with Freya for a while*

*A portal opens up out in the woods, and a tall (Like eight feet) horned figure steps from a portal. He extends his wings for a moment, and rubs his forehead making sure to not cut himself on his talons.*
*Face looks strikingly similar to Davids.*

---
*Jake shakes his head, and offers the lit cigarette to Denny.*
Jake: I'm fine. Really. Please don't give me that look.
*Sighs when he (probably) sees the look.*
Jake: Cal healed me up all good, it's a little sore but I'm okay. I can live with a little pain.

*Denny totally giving Jake the look*
D: I want you to maks sure.

~

*Figures look at Merg, then go back to searching the flames*
*They eventually what they were looking for in Aly's cremated remains, then walk out of the fire unscathed*

~

*Elise shudders, and not because of sex*

*Mergoux watches the figures closely the entire time then turns, sighs, picks up David's shotgun and starts heading back towards the room*

*Horned figure looks towards the room, and starts to slowly walk towards it.*
*Keeps rubbing his head with a pained expression, and walks drunkenly.*

---

*Jake sighs, and hugs Denny in her armor.*
Jake: Fine, fine. I'll just have him check me out. You get comfortable, I'll be back in a bit.
*Smiles weakly at her.*
Jake: Happy?

*Quetz goes to bed and Scatty probs stays up for a bit longer talking with Freya or something*


*Mergoux goes and sits in the main room, just sitting on a sofa, slowly sharpening a knife while her mind wanders*

D: Yes. See you soon.
*She starts getting out of her armour, but takes her time with it cause why not*

*barbarians are busy celebrating*
*gharn quickly learns they are part of a larger network of clans, and have various honour traditions in response to a destructive war*

*woman*
So who is the scarred man who thinks he can keep up with us and rip my furs off. You not of any clans or tribes we know.

...

*marilania is sleeping abet trying to reach for a person not there out of habit. * *fluffy being a good wolf is lieing in her room being a reasueing prescense*

...

*Marla and Maria both sat on one repressor step chatting n glancing over at marlins room*

*Figure takes his time stumbling to the room.*

---
Jake: Good.
*Jake then walks to the med bay looking for Cal, and has a bit of a limp but alright.*
Jake: Yo Cal, you around?

*Gharn frowns*
Gharn: I am Gharn Werefang, and I am the last of both my tribe and my clan


*Morgan mounts the gun on the wall somewhere and walks to the kitchen for a late snack*


*Cal pokes his head out of his office*
Cal: Jake? What do you need? Don't tell me you've been shot again....

*barbarian woman*
Furia, of clan bear.

A lone warrior.
Well maybe I can make you less lonely this night.
*starts to lead him off to side room, but gharn pretty clueless at times and Barbarians like a few simple plesures*

...

*Marla and Maria wave to Morgan and anyone present and both carefully viewing a large data slate and look suprised at somthibf*
*talking quickly and quietly about find*

*Gharn frowns but follows*
Gharn: Your kin seem very... northern. Like Bearlords


*Morgan smiles and waves back then makes himself some sweet treat and starts heading to the workshop*

* The winged figure opens the door to the room, accidentally scratching huge furrows into the door.*
*He grabs his head again, and mumbles to himself.*

---
*Jake smiles, and shakes his head.*
Jake: Den's gonna shoot me if I don't get the wound thoroughly checked out. You mind inspecting the wound?

*Mergoux's ears flatten and she claps her hands over them as scratching makes pretty nasty noises*


*Cal shakes his head*
Cal: Not at all, come on in and I'll take a look
*Holds open his door to allow Jake in then takes a look*

*furia*
Our clans dwell in higher northern forests, the roots of the great mountains.
Unlike the south who settled to farm, the west who fish we remained true to hunters.

*turns up dial and drops her fur ckoak because Gharn still clueless lol* *
*pushes up closer*
So... *reachs for heavy broach holdingsome of her leathers on*
I gotta rip them off myself...?

....

*Marla and Maria wave over cheerfully seeming glad*
*Marla heads to check on marlin and remove her cast and talks with her abit*
*fusses fluffy who is smart ernough to know Marilania needed her help*

...

*Maria heads scratching and draws her pistol*
Hey... Who that be? Man or monster? *clawing rather not normal even for room*

*Gharn goes wide eyed as he finally understands and starts backing away*
Gharn: OH! No no no! I have a girlfriend! A mate! No I will not tear your furs off!


*Mergoux gets up to investigate the noise*

*The winged figure starts stomping into the room, and groans allowed.*
Winged figure (Sounding awfully like David): Just shut up, just shut up.. please!
Winged figure (Sounding awfully not like David): No, ignorant mortal! Stop your resistance, you will-
*Notices Merg, and smiles.*
Winged figure: And who is this? You know her... oh how precious.
Winged figure: M-Merg? N-n-no!
*Turns around, and starts stomping towards the door.*

----
*Jake walks inside, and takes a seat.*
Jake: Thanks Cal. How you been?
*Lets Cal inspect wound, and touch it up if needed.*

*furia looks rasther annoyed and grabs her cloak*
You lead me on ... Hot like embers then cold like ice and ash!

Only man ernough for one woman!
Longsword must be weak and shortsword!
*slaps gharn with a force of a muscular barbaian woman*


*turns on heal and goes back to feast and knocks back a large ale before hitting on a fenrisian who gets it and finds somewhere to get her fill*

...

*Maria keeps weapon in hand but not aimed and watches it start to leave?*
(monster.... Or worse)

*Gharn snarls and bulks up slightly, his eyes turning yellow and teeth sharpening*
Gharn: Loyalty is a quality you don't seem to have human!
*Gets slapped and snarls louder, growing to 7 feet tall and fur starts to appear along his arms and chest*


*Mergoux looks shocked*
Mergoux: D-David?
*Chases after him*
Mergoux: What the feth is going on!?


*Cal rebinds the wound and nods to Jake*
Cal: I still think you're lucky that these missed literally everything vital, but you're healing alright.

*woman turns because gharn reacted in time wiggle wobble *

*notices change and reacha for sword*
Flesh changer!
Mountain feind!

*shouts to her sons and nonac who start coming grabbing weapons*

*Gharn sees the weapons come out and snarls then fully transforms into his full 10 foot WereLion form *
Gharn: Do not make a foolish mistake human!

*The winged figure tries to keep running but doesn't get far sense mental war.*
Wf: Stay away from me Merg! Sta-
*He swiftly turns around, snatches Merg by the neck, and lifts her up.*
Wf: No! Stay, Mergy... you and I have so much catching up to do!
*He grins cruelly up at her, then suddenly looks mortified, and drops her.*

---
*Jake nods.*
Jake: Yeah... good shot for sure.
*Looks conflicted.*
Jake: Thanks Cal, I owe you... another one.

*Mergoux gasps and scrabbles at the neck hold then lands heavily and gasps for breath then looks up at David in shock*
Mergoux: David... what..?



*Cal waves the debt away*
Cal: Like I always say. It's just my job. Don't do anything too straining though, or else your stitches might burst. Okay?
*Smiles then pauses as he sees Jake's conflicted face*
Cal: Jake? Is everything alright?

*woman shouts*
Skinchanger!
*skinchnagers are a grim myth to them who enter halls and then turn on those who offer shelter*

*several other large barbarians pile in through door *
The myth is real! The skinchangers still live!

*nonac the largest of the barbarians and older like woman*
Da! Beast of mountains begone. This hall shall not be slaughtered.



*barbarians look at gharn like some kind of ainciant monster*

*Gharn is standing in a defensive pose*
Gharn: I don't want to fight you, but I will if I have to. Can't I just leave and we forget this happened?

*Winged figure falls to his knees, and stares at Merg.*
Wf: Merg.. It's really you?
*He reaches out, and gently grabs Merg's face for a moment. Then looks away with a pained expression.*
Wf: No.. Please no.. Leave me alone..

---
*Jake sighs.*
Jake: Just some crap on my mind.. You have a good night Cal.
*He then walks out to his room.*

*Gandrea feels a disturbance in the force*
*Gets up out of her room, and walks to Daveth's room*
*Opens the door slightly to peer in, and sees the naked but sleeping Elise*
*Goes red at seeing the naked succubus, cause she is stupid hot, and closes the door again*
*Looks around for the disturbance*

~

*Denny is out of her armour and is playing Batman*

*barbarian*
Skin changer trick! Decicer!

*nonac halt him*
No... Changer savage. Would not stop to even pause before bloodshed. There myth is well known.

Half kin at best.
*furia looks at him angry*
No... The myth was clear. Skinchanger bears a distinct sign of its evil. This one does not..

Limp sword.

*barbarians nod and go back to feast as I'm going to deliver Easter eggs soon*

*Gharn breathes a sigh of relief and quickly de-transforms and slips away to his room with Dria*

*Dria looks at him from where she's sitting on the floor, using a chair as a desk and working with clay*
Dria: What happened to you?
*Gharn shakes his head and sighs*
Gharn: A barbarian woman tried to mate with me then accused me of being a evil shapeshifter.
*Dria blinks*
Dria: I'm not sure what that says about you that that's not the weirdest story you've told me. You want to try making something with clay?
*Gharn shrugs and sits down next to her*
Gharn: Sure!
*Dria smiles and shows Gharn how to start on clay*


*Mergoux stares at David in utter shock*
Mergoux: What... what happened!? What are you!?
*Isn't too sure whether to draw a weapon or not*

*"David" shakes his head, and grits his teeth.*
David: I-I don't know! Y-you need to leave, I-I can't hold him back!
*Slams his clawed fist on the ground, and groans.*

---
*Jake walks into his room, and sits on the bed.*
Jake: Den? Cal said I was fine, just got to take it easy. Having fun?
*Lays back on his bed, and looks at the ceiling.*

*Mergoux stubbornly shakes her head*
Mergoux: Not a chance! Maybe I can finally repay some debts and help you!

*marilania chats with Marla*

*Maria relaxes drinking coffee on repressor ramp*

*fluffy gets fuss off Marla and Marilania *

*jarl and wolves notice barbarians and laugh as both Fenris and them share some similarities*

*barbarians feast*

Ooc if I miss it night OT. I'm off to deliver eggs of yummy choclate for real.

*David shakes his head.*
David: Merg... please...run-
*The cruel grin comes back, and "David" grabs Merg's. He then easily lifts her up, and laughs.*
David: I can think of a way for you to help me, the travel has drained me... and I require some energy. Your soul shall suffice.
*He grins, and stares at her.*
David: Oh.. how it hurts him... You know he wanted to violate you? He thought about ravaging your body... acting all high and mighty, he's a twisted liar he-
David: Shut up! Just shut up!

*Mergoux spits in the monster's face*
Mergoux: Feth... you
*Reaches for a knife to stab the monster's wrist if he doesn't drop her*

*Denny looks at Jake from the TV, cause she playing Batman*
D: Good.
*She wearing a bandage over her missing eye, mostly cause it looks cool*
*Goes back to playing Batman, cause she thought that Jake was okay, but just wanted him to make sure*

~

*Gandrea sways as she walks, cause she's used to leaning on Elise*
*Makes her way towards David and Merg, cause she senses demon*

*Jake smiles at Denny's "Good," and sits behind her as she plays.*
Jake: You enjoying this game?
*Starts massaging Denny, cause one player game, and he likes giving Denny a massage.*

---
*David looks more annoyed at the dagger then actual hurt, but drops Merg.*
David: Idiot mortal, you have no comprehension of the pain I am going to bring you..
*He grins crazily at Merg, and extends his talons.*
David: You should've listened to "David" when you had the chance... now you die.

*Mergoux slashes at the demon's hand and starts retreating towards the room, keeping her sword between her and the demon*
Mergoux: I know pain monster! Now you will to!
*Pulls a bottle from her bag and hurls it at him. If it hits it shatters into a magic, super molotov cocktail*

*Denny is feeling pretty spoiled after getting so many massages lately, and puts down the controller*
D: You play. I need to return the favour.

~

*Gandrea hums as she walks along, then exits the room, and watches Merg with David*
*Continues humming like a looney*

*David uses his wings to block the fire, and quickly shakes his wings to put out the flames.*
David: You know nothing, Mortal.
*He laughs, and casually walks towards Merg.*
*Doesn't notice Gandrea yet.*

---
*Jake tilts his head.*
Jake: Okay, though I enjoy watching you play, and massaging you.
*He picks up the controller, and tries to play batman.*
*Sucks at first, but starts to get the hang of it.*

*Mergoux keeps backing up, slashing whenever 'David' gets to close*
*Doesn't know what to do, and hates the fact*
Mergoux: David! Fight back! Snap out of it! I need you right now!
*That couldn't be more true as she's probs grossly outmatched rn*
*Far too busy to notice Gandrea*

*Denny watches Jake play, then sits behind him and massages his back, being super fething gentle where he was shot*

~

*Gandrea bobs her head to the side as she watches the fight, then sits down on the ground to be a proper spectator*
*Continues humming*

~

*Elise is far too wasted by Daveth's longsword to wake up*

*Marla helps marilania with removing the leg cast and checks her leg over*
*seems to be good and healed well and is happy with it*

...

*Maria goes back to watching tv as room quiet*

...

*barbarians are busy laughing and drinking, n celebrating*
*female barbarian busy in a side room and a few others vanish off to lodges with women and enjoy a nights celebrations*

David: Enough! Die Mort-
*David looks pained, and roars. He grabs his head, and shakes his head violently.*
David: Run.. please run.. Merg...
*He crumples to his knees, and slams his head on the ground hard.*

---
*Jake can't help but smile, enjoying his momentary bliss.*
*He takes off his shirt, so Denny can massage better, and lights up another cigarette.*

*Mergoux grits her teeth, grimaces then finally nods and dashes towards the forest, thinking of the people inside the room*
Mergoux: You want to kill me monster? Then come and get me!
*She sprints hard towards the woods, face set and determined*

*Marla helps marilania after she nips to ensuite to het dressed in somthibf decent and heads out helping her as not quite used to walking without thr cast *

*chucks cast used away and helps her over to kitchen, then makes her some food*
*fluffy follows and lazes in kitchen happily enjoying bacon Marla fried up for her*


...

*Maria relaxes watching tv waving over to sister and daughter *

...

*jarl, wolves and some fenrisians and some barbarians are drinking n sharing hunting tales n such round a bar and ales*

*Denny smiles at Jake kinda stripping, then continues massaging his back while watching him play*
D: You're pretty gak at this game.

~

*Gandrea eventually gets up, and starts walking towards David*
*Crouches in front of him, and tilts her head*

*David grinds his teeth, and slams his fist on the ground again.*
David: Must feed! Chase her! Kill her!
David: No! Y-y-you feth!
*David roars then finally notices Gandrea.*
David: And who might you be? You are... different?
*He grins, and stands at his full height.*

---
Jake: Give me a bit, I'll master it.
*Jake looks back at Denny, and grins.*
Jake: Besides, kinda distracting getting a massage while playing such a fast paced game.
*He still sucking, and him looking away gets batman stabbed by one of the baddies.*

*Denny watches Jake get shanked, then turns his head back to the screen*
D: Eyes on the prize cowboy.
*Goes back to massaging his shoulders*

~

*Gandrea reaches out, and pokes David's chest, and starts draining the fel energy out of him*
*The process is slow, but would probably hurt a fair bit, but nothing crippling or anything*

*Santiago nuzzles against Joalia and kisses her forehead*
S: I love you.
*smiles as he rests his head against Joalia*

*Daveth is passed the feth out*

David: Speak, what are you?
*David bats away Gandrea's hand, and roars in pain.*
David: Insolent gnat! How?
*David's other 'half' is stunned, not ever meeting a being like this before.*
David: What are you?!
*He reaches out, and tries to snatch Gandrea by the neck.*

---
*Jake smiles, and thinks of something smart.*
Jake: You're kidding me right? If I was looking at the prize, I'd be looking at you.
*He is happy with his smart remark.*

*Denny rolls her eyes at the cheesey remark, then pats Jake on the head*
D: You'll get a one-liner that'll surprise me one day.
*Keeps massaging his back, but smiles at her reaction*

~

*Gandrea gets snatched by the throat with no resistance, and places her hands on David's, and drains*
*A snake of a smile appears on her face, cause she hasn't felt so alive in a long time*

~

*Joalia is out of it, cause despite her crippleness, she felt that burrito real good*

~

*Elise remains passed out*

*Mergoux isn't far in the woods when she notices David isn't chasing*
*She worries about the people in the room, not because she likes them but because they are (mostly) innocents*
*She turns and starts heading back, hoping David isn't rampaging though the room*
*Stops when she sees David choking Gandrea*
Mergoux: David stop this! It's me you want! Not that woman!

*David slumps to a knee, his form already drained from the teleport, and other reasons.*
David: Th-thank you... he is... somewhat gone for now...
*Hand finally release Gandrea's neck, and falls to his side. Also gets a good look at Gandrea.*
David: It's you. Water girl?
*Weakly looks towards the forest.*
David: Merg?

---
Jake: Hey, I got a smile out of you, I consider it a win.
*He smiles, and starts getting the hang of the game.*
*Also lights up another cigarette.*

*Merg walks towards David, eyes narrowed and sword ready*
Mergoux: David? Is that really you this time?

*Gandrea takes a hold of David's horn, and tilts his head to the side*
*Inspects him, and is absolutely amazed*
*Lets go of his horn, and goes to his wings to inspect them*
*Still amazed there's two beings in possession of one body*

~

*Denny smiles again, and plucks the cigarette out of Jake's mouth for herself*
D: Good for you. Now get better at the game.

*David looks at Gandrea, and doesn't object to her inspection. Then turns his burning green eyes to Merg*
David: It's me.. I'm here..
*Looks back at Gandrea.*
David: What did you do?

---
*Jake grins, and reaches back to pinch Denny's rear. Also manages not to let batman get hit by some baddies while playing one handed.*
Jake: Yes ma'am.
*He chuckles, and keeps playing.*

*Voskrinod walks into the room looking a lot better than when he first arrived, and stops when he sees David*
V: David?

*Gandrea gets slightly annoyed at her inspection of David's wings being interrupted, and points at his heart*
*Goes back to inspecting the rest of him*

~

*Denny jumps slightly from being pinched, then intensifies the massage after seeing Jake do good in Batman*
D: Damn straight.

*David eyes blaze with rage as he stares at Vosk.*
David: You...
*Tries lifting his arm, but fails.*
*He just grits his teeth, and lets Gandrea inspect him. Also frowns at her pointing at his heart, and watches .*

---
*Jake smiles at the intensified back rub.*
*Gets motivated to play better, so starts getting long combo strings, and managing to parry most attacks as batman.*

*Voskrinod frowns as he examines David*
V: What happened to you? I hadn't intended for anyone to die, you know. Just wanted to protect Alythyss.

*Gandrea keeps on picking around David, being silent as she goes, cause she don't talk*

~

*Denny raises her eyebrows at Jake suddenly doing really good, and keeps going with the massage*
D: Damn Jake. Back at it again.
*Resists the urge to shoot herself*

*David doesn't know if he should laugh or yell.*
David: Alythyss? You got to be kidding me..
*He's still too weak to move, and just watches Gandrea.*
David: I remember being incinerated, and waking up in a place that I can only describe as hell... guess those paragon points were for nothing...

---
*Jake smiles.*
Jake: Proper motivation is all.
*At this point Jake just figured out combat, besides that he has batman run around aimlessly beating up people, cause he don't know how his gadgets.*

*Voskrinod's frown deepens*
V: She saved my life once, I owed her. Not that it mattered in the end. She died shortly after you fell.
*shakes his head*
V: I am sorry, David. I had never wished to put you through such a fate.
*sighs*
V: Not that words have any impact on the situation.

*Daveth wakes up and clutches his chest*
*shivers slightly, and sits up*

*Gandrea still looking around David's body for clues*

~

*Denny watches Jake only punch people, and decides to point out that Batman has other combat things that he can use*
*Pats Jake on the head*

~

*Elise wakes up as well from Daveth stirring, and wraps her tail around his hand accidentally*
E: What time is it?,,

*Curt walks out of his room and heads into the main room*

*Maggie is in dragon form eating a Bullfango*

David: Yeah at this point Vosk we aren't on best the terms... sorry about the elf... I didn't mean to kill her, I just...
*He sighs, and keeps trying to keep his eyes on Gandrea.*
David: Water lady... can you explain to me what's going on?

---
*Jake nods with understanding and actually heads to a mission.*
Jake: Oh.. Now I get it.
*He frowns at the pat, and pinches Denny's rear again.*

*Marla looks up and sees curt and tosses him a decent sized leather bag of gold coins from various places*

Thanks for the help. That Il cover ya, golds universal.

*marilania waves over from a table and goes back to a plate of food and mug of coffee whilst fluffy looks and then goes back to resting in kitchen mh the 2m's*

*Voskrinod nods*
V: It got out of hand. But it doesn't matter anymore. What does matter is what happened to you. Out of everywhere I've traveled, I have never seen a hell.

*Daveth looks down at Elise, and his expression softens*
D: Noon, if I'm any guess. How'd you sleep?
*has an icy feeling in his chest, but does his best to best to ignore it*

*Curt catches the bag and nods*

Curt: Happy to help. Pay doesn't hurt tho.

*He admires the contents of the bag*

*marla*
Half the local places mostly take gold.
Plus a bag full feels more impressive than paper.

*marilania*
Getting paid never hurt.
*steps over gingerly and refills coffee

Nice car. Though thr humvee Il beat you off road every day.
*smiles slightly *

*Gandrea reaches out with the hand that isn't holding David's wing, and pushes his lips together*
*Goes back to inspecting him*

~

*Denny jumps again at the pinch, and smiles*
D: Cheeky you.

~

*Elise sits up and stretches*
E: You know just how I slept.
*She leans over and kisses Daveth on the cheek, before standing up and doing some morning stretches*
E: I should probably check on the lady.

*David turns to Vosk.*
David: It was very un-
*Get's his lips closed, and frowns at Gandrea.*
*Remains quiet, but starting to get a little annoyed at the constant inspection.*

---
*Jake smiles at the jump, and playfully pinches Denny's rear again.*
Jake: Not that cheeky.
*He chuckles, and looks back at her.*
Jake: See what I did there?

---
*Flagg appears next to Maggie, and watches her eat.*
Flagg: Maggie c'mere... need to go over some stuff.
*Looks pretty down with recent news about Rach.*

*Voskrinod smirks*
V: Looks like she's infatuated with you. But can she help?
*turns to look at Ganny as he asks the question*

*Daveth nods and watches Elise do her stretches*
D: I could come with, unless it would be too much for her.

*Gandrea really doesn't seem to notice any questions, and fusses over David*
*Transfers over a little bit of fel energy into his back to see if the actual demon pops up again*

~

*Denny blinks(with one eye, like a fething truck)*
D: I... Wow. Did not actually see that coming.
*Sits back, stunned that Jake just punned so badly*
D: God damn.

~

*Elise smiles, and kisses Daveth again*
E: Take things slow. She'll probably be a bit weird still. You saw her the last time you were over.

*Mergoux glares in fury at Vos*
Mergoux: You killed him!?
*Slowly takes a deep breath to try and calm herself but fails miserably*
*She looks at David*
Mergoux: What the feth happened. Hell? What?
*Looks annoyed at Ganny too but also actually concerned for her friend*

*David looks away from Merg with shame.*
David: I.. don't know how to-
*Grits his teeth and as the fel energy goes into him.*
*"David" snaps his head to Gandrea, and watches her closely.*
*Remains silent, but has a slight smile.*

---
*Jake laughs, and leans back on Denny.*
Jake: Yes it was terrible, but you have to admit I did get you.
*Keeps playing batman, but also manages to kiss Denny's cheek.*
Jake: No more bad puns, I promise.

*Voskrinod nods*
V: I was defending Alythyss. I didn't want to harm David, but I was not going to watch Alythyss come to harm. Unfortunately, my defense was meaningless in the end.

*Daveth returns the kiss and nods*
D: I'll be careful.
*throws some clothes on, and turns to look at Elise*
D: Ready when you are.

*Mergoux realizes who Alythyss is cause she was called Elf by David earlier I think*
Mergoux: Good. She and her kind deserve death.
*Kneels next to David, looking concerned, which seems out of place on her face*
Mergoux: David? It's alright, let me help you.

*Gandrea takes a step back to inspect "David" completely, then steps back in, and looks for differences between demon David and normal David*

~

*Denny nods, and hugs Jake*
D: You better not pun again. And yes, you did get me. Pretty bad, to be honest. Wasn't expecting anything like that*
*#Truth*
*Low-key trying to ruin Jake's game by distracting him, so she presses herself against his back*

~

*Elise stretches, and looks at her naked body*
E: I mean... Can I be fethed...
*Shrugs, and covers herself with her wings to get changed into her normal skanky clothes*
*To save posts, she takes Daveth to Gandrea's room, and gets worried when she isn't there*
E: Oh no... Where could she have gone...

*David silently watches Gandrea, and manages to stand up again.*
*His smile vanishes when he notices Merg, and then watches her.*
*He grits his teeth, as both haves fight for dominance.*

---
*Jake keeps trying to play, even between the hug.*
Jake: Glad I got you.. but yeah it was terrible.
*Starts messing up slightly, missing a parry or failed combo, cause Denny's tits pressed against his back.*
*Looks determined though and keeps playing.*

*Voskrinod frowns and folds his arms across his chest*
V: Some might say the same about humans. Look what they did to the dwarves and the elves. Not to mention godlings and the other creatures that they called monsters.

*Daveth frowns and looks around*
D: To get food, maybe?

*Mergoux snaps at Vos*
Mergoux: Humans call those that hunt them, betray them and war with them as enemies. Elves fit 2 of those, and Drow all three. Dwarves are entirely different though

*She looks into Davids eyes with her own hazel gaze*
Mergoux: David. Fight this. Don't let that thing take over.
*Stands rigid, locking eyes with him and mentally praying to anyone who's listening for help*

*Gandrea takes a step back to see who's side will win*

~

*Denny ups her game to down Jake's game*

~

*Elise takes a few deep breaths, and nods*
E; Y-You're right... Let's go check...
*Drags Daveth to the kitchen, and panics more when Gandrea ain't there*

*Maria knocks on Morris door*
Hey.. Umm got a update on whole monster thing.

...

*marilania and Marla relaxed in kitchen talking and Marla supporting Marilania carefully*

...

*barbarians start to wake up from epic hang overs from trying to out drink fenrisians*

*Voskrinod raises an eyebrow*
V: If you were to see Novigrad, you would see how wrong you were. I could not stay in that town for a single day before I only had the desire to leave it. Even Witchers can feel pity when they go there, and it is because of humanity's doing. Not elves, not your drow, and not by any 'monster'.
*actually looks upset as he starts talking about Novigrad*

*Daveth puts a hand on Elise's shoulder*
D: We'll find her. She couldn't have gone far. Anywhere else she might have gone?

*Aerin grabs his gear and heads out to hunt in the woods*

*David locks eyes with Merg, looking partly pleading, partly enraged.*
*He finally breaks the eye contact, closes his eyes, and hangs his head.*
*Then falls to his knees, and grinds his teeth.*

---
*Jake is starting to catch on.*
Jake: Oh this ain't fair, you trying to screw me up?
*Looks at Denny's chest.*
Jake: With my prizes no less!

*Mergoux glares and puts one hand on David's shoulders*
Mergoux; David if you lose to this thing I'm going to fething kill you...
*Snaps again and shouts at Vos*
Mergoux: I don't give a flying feth about your cities! My friend is in danger!


*Morri opens the door in a robe, still tying the sash she leans against the doorframe and looks at Maria*
Morri: Yes? What is it!?


*Morgan goes to the kitchen, pauses when he sees Elise, shakes his head to rouse himself from staring and starts making toast and purposely avoiding looking at her*

*maria*
The monster.. Man.. Mutant. Whatever he turns out to be was last thought to be headed to pirate space around "planet name"

That's most likely... It might be wrong... Its just a educated guess. After that space is not imperial and a lawless frontier region. Pirates, chaos. Renegades and xeno worlds.

If you got anyone looking for him.. Try that way.

...

*marilania and Marla wave to morgan*

*marilania cast free just less steady getting used to it sipping a mug of coffee using one hand to stead self *

*marla*
Hey Morgan. Morning
*smiles*

*Morgan looks over and smiles at Maril*
Morgan: YOu got your cast off! Congratz!


*Morri nods, dials a number and makes a call*
Morri: Agamennon? You and Achilles. (Planet name) You still have the description? Good. Thanks. Bye.
*Hangs up and nods to Maria*
Morri: Alright, thanks. I've sent some people to try to take care of him.

*Gandrea makes note that the human side won*
*Sits down beside David and continues inspecting him*

~

*Denny smiles as Jake catches on, and hugs him*
D: Took you too long to actually claim them.
*Presses the pause button on the controller so Batman don't die*

~

*Elise looks around, and shakes her head*
E: I don't know where else she's gone... Oh I knew I shouldn't have left her alone...

*maria*

There's no saying he could not move on but that's most last semi confirmed route...

Try, its better than nothing. The only stuff known is out by centuries of that area so I'm afraid that's best info.
Old star maps... But anything can happen.

...

*marilania*
Aye... *smiles*
This morning. I'm still unsteady and slow but I'm walking.

I might be able to drive short distence but nothing too far, local for now..

*marla*
Short... Your still not quite up to coast trip yet.

*Morri nods*
Morrigan: Thanks for telling me? Is that it?


*Morgan nods*
Morgan: Sounds good! Better than limping around on crutches!
*Looks over at Marla*
MOrgan: Coast trip?

*David groans, oblivious to the outside noises.*
*He keeps gritting his teeth, opens his eyes (which are burning green), and stares up into the sky.*
*Tries saying some words, but only manages a hiss.*

---
*Jake smiles, and returns the hug.*
Jake: I cry pardon for not giving them my full attention, I'll have to spend more time with them to make up for it!
*Unzips Denny's body suit part way, and starts playing with his prizes.*

*Mergoux takes David by the chin and locks eyes with him*
Mergoux: David! Fight it!
*Smacks him*
Mergoux: Or else!
*Feels pretty useless but still tries to help David focus*

*Voskrinod looks back at Gandrea*
V: You seem to have an understanding of what's happened to David. Can you elaborate?

*Daveth squeezes Elise's shoulder*
D: We'll find her. Room by room, she's around here somewhere. Considering that Illidan's camp is in the woods somewhere, I doubt that she left this place.

*a drop ship lands at the airpad and the PDF reinforcements finally arrive and file into the barracks*
*a second bulk lander lands after it and a Leman Russ Demolisher drives down the ramp towards the garage*

*Gandrea scoots back a little, looks at Vos, then back at David and leaves it at that*

~

*Denny giggles, and lets Jake play his heart out*
D: Hope you enjoy cowboy.

~

*Elise nods, and takes a deep breath*
E: Lounge, gym, or outside. One of those.
*Leads Daveth to the lounge cause she fething spooked*

*maria*
Yeah. Il let ya sleep or have fun etc.

Thought you'd want to know. That n Morgan, Gharn and Dira been there for Marlin which I'm glad of.
*heads of to the range to practice*

...
*marilania*
Oh.. I was planning to drive out to coast. Get some fresh air n explore abit.

Ita quite a drive so I might have to wait abit.

*Morgan nods*
Morgan: I could drive you if you want. I don't mind


*Mergoux looks over at Gandrea*
Mergoux: If you know anything tell us NOW.
*Glares are her*

*David jumps up, wings wide, and grabs Merg by the chest.*
David: Or else what girl?! You will do nothing, you can do nothing!
*He holds her aloft, his cruel smile staring up at her.*
David: You are nothing!

---
*Jake looks at Denny from his position.*
Jake: I will have no fear of that... but I wanna see my other prizes.
*Pulls Denny's body suit off entirely.*
*Jake ballin with all the prizes.*

*marilania*

Forewarning. I'm a terrible passenger.
I enjoy it. Even if people think I'm abit heavy on the gas...

Maybe, but id not wanna put you out. Or give people wrong idea.

*Marla smiles *
Abit... You drive like your flying!

*marilania*
And... I've not crashed yet!

*Mergoux stares at David then finally looks defeated*
Mergoux: I... you're right...
*Stops resisting for now and if David carries her off she wouldn't put up much of a fight unless he tried to kill her or do something else*
*If he drops her unwounded then she starts swearing violently, has a mini rage-storm then moves to chase after him if he goes off somewhere*
*If she's wounded then she'll just lie there*


*Morgan nods*
Morgan: I don't mind. If you wanna go, we can go. Maybe Gharn and Dria can come too


*A familiar sultry voice rings out near Aerin*
Voice: Hello Lover... back for more?
*Impossible to tell where the voice came from*


OOC: Gonna nap for a while Jhe. Unsure as to when I'll be back but NPC as needed or whatever

*Voskrinod first moves to block Merg from Ganny, stares at David*
V: Put the girl down, David. You don't want to harm her.

*Daveth follows after Elise, and frowns at her reaction to Gandrea missing*
D: We'll find her. But why are you do worried? She's a grown woman, even with what she went through.

*Aerin casts Quen and draws his silver sword as soon as he hears Jirah*
A: Thought I killed you.

*marilania*

If they wanted a trip.
I just did not .... If you saw the rom com channel... I did not wanna look ... I'm explaining this worse than a oygan in a ballet...

*Marla laughs quietly*
And your thr diplomatic one marlin!
*teases her niece slightly*


Ooc sure OT. You where up late and early so no worries*

*Curt heads off to the bar to spend some of his money*

Curt: (What to drink.)

*Maggie stops eating and looks up at Flagg*

*She shifts back into human form and wipes the blood off her face*

*Gandrea scooted back for a reason lol*

~

*Denny laughs at Jake being frisky, and lies down on the bed properly*
*She low-key hopes he doesn't ruin the mood again, the little gak*

~

*Elise stops for a bit, then holds the back of her neck*
E: I like her? She was technically a part of the one I was bound to... So I feel a connection to her...
*She stops for a bit to think, then hugs Daveth*
E: Thanks for sticking with me... You're a good friend.

*David looks saddened by Merg's response, and unceremoniously drops her.*
*He looks at her on the ground, then turns to looks at Gandrea then at Vosk.*
David: W-what is wrong with me?

---
*Jake enjoys Denny's laughter, and cuddles with her before the fething.*
*Though certain things dwell on Jake's mind, he doesn't ruin the mood by bringing them up.*

---
*Flagg walks up, and wipes Maggie's face.*
Flagg: You okay?
*Gently hugs her, and sighs.*
Flagg: We'll find her...

*marilania chats with Morgan laughing at self for being awkward and bad at explaining self*

*Marla goes to check on her paperwork at med bay*

...

*barbarians have managed to mix up a herbal anti hangover painkiller n counting up there incomes nnsuch working out there next move*

*Voskrinod shakes his head*
V: I'm not sure, David. Our friend here seems to have an idea, however.

*Daveth returns the hug, and is somewhat taken off guard by her words cause he's not used to many people saying that*
D: Of course, Elise. There's nowhere else I'd rather be.

*Maggie hugs Flagg back*

Maggie: I hope so... Who is this Walter? What do you think he'll be doing to our daughter?

*Gandrea watches David from on the ground, silent as ever*

~

*Denny screw*

~

*Elise smiles, then pulls away from the hug*
E: Good. Let's go find the runaway.
*Leads Daveth to the gym since Gandrea isn't in the living room*

*David looms over Gandrea.*
David: Tell me... please...
*He groans as a "hunger" presses him, and the other presence starts to take control.*

---
*Flagg shrugs.*
Flagg: I... don't know.. He is a mirror of me, but mastered magic.

*Voskrinod stands in front of Gandrea, but also to the side so he's not completely blocking the way*
V: Can you speak?

*Daveth nods and keeps following Elise*
*still can't shake that feeling*

*Gandrea looks up at David, then at his body, then back at his face*
*She puts her hands together, then pulls them apart, trying to make it look as violent as she can*
*Puts one hand where she thinks David's heart is, and the other on a horn of his*
*Puts her hands back together, and holds them out in front of David*
*Hopes he understands*
*She looks at Voskrinod, and nods*

~

*Elise leads Daveth to the gym, then frowns when she can't find Gandrea there*
E: We... Should take a break and eat something. Can't find a missing woman on an empty stomach...

*David watches Gandrea, and has a good idea of what she meant.*
David: So.. It's... part of me.
*Suddenly grabs his stomach as the hunger pulls at him.*

*Maggie holds Flagg*

Maggie: W-what do we do?...

*Maggie squeezes Flagg*

*marinalia bids Morgan goodnight and tells that she gonna rest up a day before considering heading out and walks to bed unsteadily *

..

*Maria returns from range and goes to bed*

...

*Marla works on some med bay stuff reseaching somthibf*

Ooc night. Zzzz

*Voskrinod nods*
V: Possession? Now that is a difficult subject to bear.
*frowns as David puts a hand on his stomach*
V: What's wrong?

*Daveth nods*
D: I'll get us something to eat.
*leads Elise back to the kitchen*

*David groans aloud.*
David: I.. don't know.
*His eyes burn green, and he smiles.*
David: We must feed.

---
*Flagg thinks.*
Flagg: We must do some things, visit some people.. chin up love.
*He hugs her tightly to his chest.*

*Voskrinod shakes his head*
V: David, you must control yourself. What do you feed on, demon?

*Mergoux looks between Gandrea's explanation and David*
Mergoux: Is there a way to separate them?
*She then glares up at the Demon*
Mergoux: If it's humans you want, I know a few places you could eat at.
*Speaking about bandit camps*


*Jirah's voice grows from amused to bitter*
Jirah. Yeah. You did. My master brought me back... Though to be honest, I wouldn't have minded those hours being my last...
*Voice turns back to amused and sultry*
Jirah: Since they were spent in such excellent company

*Aerin stands still as he tries to locate where Jirah's voice is coming from*
A: Last I remember, you tried to rip my throat out after we were done. So why come back? Want me to make sure that you can't come back?

*Jirah's voice turns pouty and teasing and seems to change directions as she stealthily moves from shrub to shrub*
Jirah: Aww, such minor details. As I remember it we had quite a romp before that sad little incident lover...
As for why I'm here, you've got nothing to do with it. I'm here for someone else. Though I'll gladly take you if you'd have me!
*Laughs again from a bush behind Aerin*

*Aerin's eyes light up slightly, and he smirks*
A: Someone else? Who might that be?
*shakes his head*
A: I'm sure that they're not as good as I'll ever be.

*Jirah laughs*
Jirah: Oh... I'm not here for that reason, I'm just here to kill the girl and be on my merry way.
*Jirah's tone grows slightly wistful*
Jirah: True... you were one of the best I've ever had... Especially for non Werelord

*David turns his gaze to Mergoux, and keeps his disturbing grin.*
David: That.. will suffice.. human.
*He motions for her to lead the way. *
David: Time is short.. be quick.. Mergy.

*Aerin nods*
A: Can't say she'd be missed. So, one more reunion before you do that contract?

*Voskrinod watches Merg and David*
V: I'm coming along.

*Mergoux glares at Vos but says nothing then goes to nod to 'David' only to turn her glare in him*
Mergoux: Don't call me that Creature. Only David calls me that.
*Turns and silently starts heading into the woods*


*Jirah's smile is evident in her tone, even before she steps out of the bushes to Aerin's left*
Jirah: Well... if you insist lover.
*Ain't wearin' a thing as she smirks teasingly at him*

*David grins at Merg.*
David: Oh how adorable...
*He keeps walking along, and silently watches vosk and Merg.*
David: Are we close then?

*Aerin sheathes his sword and he eyes Jirah*
A: Coat looks thicker than it did before.
*steps towards Jirah and keeps smirking*

*Voskrinod follows after Mergoux, and keeps an eye on David*

*Jirah smirks and pulls Aerin in towards her in a embrace*
Jirah: It's colder up in the mountains, I grew a Winter coat


*Mergoux's hands ball into fists but she keeps moving*
Mergoux: It's not far. Maybe a hour's march
*To save posts they walk the hour, Mergoux doing her best to ignore any teasing or mocking from David*
*Mergoux keeps walking towards the small camp, not worrying about the guards who shout alarms and bandits who start coming out of the tents*
*Total camp is about 40 or so dudes with no Werelords*

*Mergoux snarls and cuts down the first bandit that attacks her then looks back at David*
Mergoux: Eat up Creature
*Begins dueling with a the bandit captain*

*David steps forward, and non nonchalantly waves his hand.*
David: Have no fear, I shall.
*A carrion swarm is unleashed, and tears through the front ranks of troops.*
*Then drains the life out of one of the bandits unfortunate enough to get close to him.*
*Subtly feeds on their life force, and devours any souls as he goes.*
*Also causes the bandit captain Merg is fighting to fall asleep mid combat.*

*Most of the bandit plunge forwards recklessly but a few hang back cowardly*
*Mergoux disarms the bandit captain and knocks him out for later before charging into the fray*

*Several bandits attempt to stab David with pikes while others move to surround him*

*As soon as Jirah grabs Aerin, he casts Axii on her*
A: Sorry, love.
*slips out of Jirah's grasp, and draws his silver sword again*
*plunges it into her gut, and twists the blade*

*Voskrinod makes sure to keep David in sight, and raises both arms towards the sky*
*clouds begin to form, and the camp soon becomes covered by a lightning storm*

*Jirah gasps and looks down at the sword in her gut*
*The wound oozes a black tar-like liquid as Jirah looks up at Aerin, now very, very angry*
Jirah: Not this time Witcher. I've had some improvements. I have to admit.. I was looking forward to that... oh well.
*Grabs him and pulls him in to bite his throat, not even seeming to be in pain*

*David Becomes a blur, and slashes the Pike wielders down.*
David: Unworthy mortals...
*Drains their essence, and keeps trudging forward.*
*He begins to grow bright green.*

*Bandits begin to lose hears and several start to flee, only for Mergoux to start cutting them down as they run with a crossbow taken from a dead man*
*She mostly disables them*

*The few brave or foolish Bandits who remain still try to hurt David with swords and axes*

*Aerin uses his free hand to cast igni on Jirah's head, and growls at her*
A: Still won't be enough.
*rips his sword out of Jirah and takes several steps backwards to give himself room*

*Voskrinod continues to guide the storm, and lightning strikes down bandits*

*Jirah screams in rage, and reels back, beating at her face and head to put out the flames and very angry at her vanity being damaged*
JIrah: I'LL KILL YOU FOR THIS!
*Keeps trying to beat out of the fire*


*What few bandits there are, being a full retreat as Mergoux drags the unconscious bandit captain towards a tent and draws a knife*

*David grins, and drains the life from the bodies around him.*
*He then smiles at Vosk, and then looks over at Merg.*
*Tilts his head, and follow her.*

*Mergoux drags the unconscious man into the tent, splashes some water from a waterskin on his face to wake him then starts interrogating him*
*At first she's merely using verbal methods of intimidation but soon starts a more medieval method, leaving the man screaming in agony as she demands to know locations of the bandit strongholds into the mountains*
Captain: (Sobbing) Please! Please I don't know! Please!
*Mergoux slowly breaks another one of the man's fingers by bending it back until it snaps with a loud crack and the man screams*
Mergoux: I don't believe you. Now tell me where it is and I'll end you quickly
*She's eerily calm about the torture*

*Aerin leaps forwards and slashes at one of Jirah's arms, aiming to completely sever it*
A: You won't live long enough for that.

*Voskrinod holds the storm for a bit longer before letting it dissipate*
*follows after David, and hides any reaction he has to seeing the torture*

*Jirah moves with inhuman speed, darting between Aerin's legs and slashing at his back*
*Her face and head are badly burnt and most of her hair/fur is gone*
Jirah: You destroyed some of my best features! I'll tear your heart out!
*Gone is the sultry seductress, replaced with a angry, bitter and vain woman*

*Aerin gets slashed, and turns around while glaring at Jirah*
A: Getting tired of listening to you.
*casts Yrden and drops to a defensive stance*
A: Come on, hag.

*Jirah snarls and leaps for Aerin unless the Witcher spell stops her*
Jirah: The best hag you'll ever lay with Witcher!

*David is grinning ear to ear, and walks into the tent.*
David: Let me just invade his mind.. I can find this Stronghold for you.
*Enjoys watching the agony of the man, then suddenly looks away his facial expression looking grim.*
David: Merg... you're better then this... please stop.

*Mergoux looks back at David, her eyes cold*
Mergoux" Better than this? No, I'm giving this scum exactly what he deserves for all the pain he's caused others. This is what I do David, I punish these 'people' who make a profit off others hard work
*She breaks another few fingers, then stands back and nods to 'David'*
Mergoux: If you think you can get the information Creature, then do it

*Davids pained expression quickly changes to a sinister smile.*
David: No complaints from me.
*He walks forward, and grabs the captain head.*
*The captain screams in agony as his soul is drained.*
David: I know where it is, mortal. Shall we leave this place?

*Mergoux nods*
Mergoux: Let's go...
*Takes the captain's armband and starts heading back towards the room, silently walking in front*

*David's grin never leaves, and he silently trails after Merg.*
*He watches Merg, and takes notes.*
*His aura is a bright green.*

*Mergoux heads back to the room, takes off what armor she was wearing and puts it in her bag then sits on a sofa, clearly thinking hard on something*

*Gandrea is still sitting out the front of the room, swaying back and forth like a looney*

~

*Elise eats, but shudders at David returning*
*Doesn't know why she shuddered*

*Maggie leans on Flagg*

Maggie: Who are we going to visit?

*Maggie looks at Flagg's eyes*

*Marla walks out and if mortals feel the "wrongness" then shudders *
*if not walks out to kitchen and waves before grabbing a snack and drink but will eventually notice green glow if glow approach's and that's never a good sign in the room*

*marilania sleeps tossing n turning abit*

*Maria resting in repressor*

*Morgan sits in the kitchen talking with Dria*

*Gharn is on a run*


*Mergoux is desperately thinking on how to help David*

*Marla wanderers back out kitchen waving and heads out to the PDF Barracks to catch up with Milo. *

*marilania sleeps badly but sleeps*
*doors locked*
...

Ooc off to volunteer, be back on tonight

*David follows Merg to the room, but doesn't follow her inside.*
*Watches the room silently, before finally turning back to the forest.*
*Starts to walk back to the forest.*

---
*Jake wakes up, and pulls himself closer to Denny.*
Jake: That... was nice.
*Grins, and presses himself against Denny.*
Jake: You alright?

---
*Flagg grins.*
Flagg: We must speak to Gaunter.. he is the first to speak to about this.

*Merg notices David didn't follow her in and looks outside*
Mergoux: David? What are you doing?!


*Gharn is on his way back from his run*

*Maggie's eye twitches when Gaunter is brought up*

Maggie: If its what you think is best...

*She breaks the hug and notices Flagg's grin*

*Gandrea still sits outside of the room, humming and thinking to herself*

~

*Tala is off eating stuff*

~

*Denny nods a couple times, and cuddles back*
D: Mhm... Why wouldn't I be?
*She yawns, and tries sitting up, which is hard when her ass hurts so much*

~

*Elise is stuffing her face with Daveth*
*Pun intended, but she ain't actually eating Daveth*

*Yrden causes Jirah to become slowed, and Aerin slashes at her leg as she enters the ring*
*sword's runes glow brightly as the Witcher swings*

*Voskrinod stops as David starts heading towards the forest*
V: David...

*Daveth looks up at his food as Elise shudders*
D: Is something wrong?

*David grinds his teeth.*
David: I... should go... this place won't accept me..
*He looks gloomy, and sighs at Merg.*
David: I am a threat to others.. I'm sorry.

---
*Jake watches Denny, and can't help but smile.*
Jake: You okay? I may have went overboard on your ass.
*He then reaches over, and starts gently massaging Denny's ass.*
Jake: Better?

---
*Brunor follows Tala, and eats stuff with her.*
*Also kills and feeds whatever Tala wants (even human.)

---
*Flagg nods, and smiles at Maggie.*
Flagg: He owes us... his contract is void, and he will pay for that.
*He shrugs.*
Flagg: We will be free of his restraints.

*Maggie's purple eye lights up and goes bright violet*

Maggie: does that mean we will be able to feth again!?

*Maggie shakes with excitement*

*Elise looks out of the window, and doesn't see anything*
E: Just... A presence I felt... Nothing to be worried about...
*Looks around the kitchen, in case the presence is invisible, but doesn't spot anything cause there's nothing there*

~

*Denny jumps at the ass massage cause she ain't used to it, but continues lying on the bed*
D: Much better...

~

*Tala doesn't choose human, cause she just wants some boar or something*
*Hugs Brunor cause he probably helped*
T: Thanks for being a good slave, slave.
*She winks at him to let him know she's joking*

~

*Gandrea is still sitting outside, mostly thinking about things*
*She starts drawing some runes on the ground around her, which makes the spots she drew on glow green*
