*Morgan sighs and mutters*
Morgan: Unfortunately a job that still exists....

*He sits down next to Maril after entering the inn*
*Morgan frowns and goes to cross his arms then remembers Maril's signal and lays both hands flat against the table*
Morgan: I make a statement, are you saying that's a bad thing?
*Taps the table anxiously and looks around*


*The Pirate Captain nods to the bouncer with a disarming smile and makes to go into the inn*

*Tala growls more, and makes sure Opal can see that she has claws and teeth*
T: I have a quarrel with you... Furry...
*Her own tail swishes, though it's a lot bigger and clunkier than Opal's*
*Tala is blocking the doorway, but she hears the door opening, and kicks it closed, then locks it while maintaining eye contact*
*She doesn't know it, but she did it to mostly protect Merg, cause she can smell Merg all over the room, and assumes that Opal is after Merg*

*Mergoux glares and kicks at the door Dean Winchester style*
*She's rather surprised at the door not even shuddering cause those things are built sturdy in the room so she keeps at it, trying to break into her own room*


*Opal narrows her eyes*
Opal: Oh? And what quarrel is that?

*man looks at Morgan*
Sometimes it not worth the attention. Quiet business is always prefered over a ruckus.

I do not like my business interfered. *laced with obvious threat of if it is interfered*

*nods as a man hands over a small metal box sealed with a certain wax seal*

*marilania in same accent*
As expected. And payment. It is valid at any of the port cities.
*Hands over a neat thick parchment document*

*man nods*
The lady is not a idiot.

*man moves to leave folding the bankers draft up neatly into a small size and sliding into his coat*

*don,t notice the pirate and Marinalia relaxes slightly as he goes to leave pocketing the metal box*

...

*Marla hears a racket probbly*
Ok...
*shouts over*
Trouble?

*Morgan frowns and sits at the table*
Morgan: All this for a little box? What's in it?
*Leans forward and speaks in a hushed tone*


*Pirate watches them from a corner, Aragorn style*


*Mergoux paints a colorful verbal picture for Maria (AKA swearing a gakload)*


OOC: No rush Vanden, but I'm late as it is, I gotta sleep soon so either we're gonna have to make this quick, pause it or you need to post a bit faster. Any of those work for me

*marinalia quietly*
Planets under blockade... We where short on rarer herbs. Its a powerful medicinal chemical that prevents blood loss.

The man is a expert in finding things... Valuable things.

*rests head slightly on his shoulder*
So you wanna take a senic route home?
I got spare gas in the back. Good for a few hundred miles.

...

*Marla follows swearing*
Locked out? By someone?

*draws her power sword*
You got any extra locks on that door?

*Tala continues growling*
T: You smell nice to eat. That's what.

*Morgan nods then looks rather flustered at the head resting*
Morgan: S-sure! I'd like that. Better than the bumpy one!
*The Pirate captain watches them carefully, trying to judge how much cash they'd be carrying on them*


*Opal frowns*
Opal: Really? You just want to eat me? I was... expecting more to be honest. Well I'm afraid I can't let you do that. I have a Half-Elf to kill.
*Forgot to mention but she speaks with a deep African accent*
*She slowly starts subtly moving towards the window behind her*

*Tala shrugs then opens the door*
T: K.
*Walks off*

*Mergoux glares at Tala*
Mergoux: What the feth was that!?
*Turns to go into her room as Opal blinks in surprise and quickly slips under the bed again*

*marla*
That's strange...

*sheaths sword*
Strange morning...

...

*marilania just trusts Morgan and moves to get up pulling her hood back up*
*quietly* thanks for coming with.
The street shoulda calmed from before. Lets get our of this place.

I think there's a nice lake on way back, there's a ruined kinda old mansion on the shore.

*Morgan nods and smiles*
Morgan: That sounds great. Let's go
*Gets lead off while the captain gives up for now*


*Mergoux humphs and goes into her room to see if Tala destroyed anything*
*Opal waits silently for Mergoux to fall asleep once more which she does after a long gym session and shower

*Aerin had went back to the woods to hunt something*

*Voskrinod walks over to Joalia and Santiago and nods*
V: I don't think we've met before. I am Voskrinod.
*Santiago nods in return*
S: Santiago. This is Joalia.

*Kara looks up as several Shrieks appear in front of her, and grab her, not that Kara resists*
You may thank Scathach for this.

*marla*
see ya.

*marla shakes head as none of it seems to make any sense and goes off to the main room, waves to passers by And starts knocking up some breakfast*
...


*marinalia stasis the the entire town*

...
Barbairans went back to regular hunting keeping eye out or skin changers*

*Joal smiles and waves*

~

*Elise manages to infiltrate the Illidari camp while the majority of the Illidari are out skirmishing*
*She disguises herself, almost flawlessly, as a Illidari, and almost walks into the prison, cause she has to wait until the guard changes*
*She doesn't know it, but almost all of the Illidari have picked up her scent, and know exactly who she is, but let her through*
*She prowls through the prison, looking for Maiev*
*The bars behind her lock, and Illidan reveals himself from the shadows*
I: You make this too easy, demon.
*Elise freezes in fear*

*Marla waves back and puts few things in the oven to cook*
Morning.

*offers all present coffee and busies making self some tea, and looks through seeing thr blockade has a few suplies depleted a bit*
*checks the spare cuboards to as wondering and finds a large stash of twinkies*

*Voskrinod nods*
V: A pleasure to meet you both. Have you been here long?
*Santiago shrugs*
S: Just got back from a vacation.
*Voskrinod nods*
V: I see.
*looks over at Joalia*
V: Pardon my bluntness, but I have never seen anything like you. A relict, as the Northerners say?

*Joal tilts her head, then looks up at Santiago for him to explain, cause she can't talk*

~

*Elise stumbles back as Illidan approaches her*
I: There isn't any need to be afraid. My warriors have seen you assisting the mortals. You are not inherently evil, like your brethren. You come here to free the Warden. Why?
E: I... Her lover needs her. That is why.
I: So you do this in the pursuit of love? How heartwarming.
*He takes another step closer to Elise, who gulps in response*

*David frowns at Gandrea, but let's her inscribe the rune without issue.*
*Detheroc grows angry from the inscribing, but this time doesn't rant and rave.*
David: Okay... Seriously you've done enough for me, and your pain is distracting. Please drain from me, just enough so you're not hurt.
*Grabs her hand, and holds it to his chest.*
David: I know you can do it, and I can feel your pain... for my sake just drain me.

---
*Brunor wakes up, and goes to sniff out Tala.*

*Gandrea stares at David, then nods, and drains just enough of his life force to stop Gandrea from dying*
*She instantly stops when she has enough, then looks at David, trying to see if Detheroc is released*

~

*Tala is sniffing out Brunor*

*David nods back, and feels his energy drain.*
*He also manages to hold Detheroc back (With the help of he additional rune.)*
David: Feel better?
*Slumps slightly from the energy loss.*

---
*Brunor finds Tala, and instantly smiles at the sight of her.*
Brunor: Did you eat?

*Gandrea nods, but looks over David a few more times*
*She can't draw anymore runes, cause after the two, and the two three soulfires, she is just about drained of mana and fel energy, and she's not about to tap into her own life essence to get more, considering how little she has*
*She sits down, and just stares up at David*

~

*Tala shakes her head, and smiles back*
T: Nah, guess I was waiting for you.

*David sits as well, and stares down at Gandrea for a time.*
David: Er... I'm David by the way.
*He (delicately) scratches the back of his neck.*
David: What is your name?

---
*Brunor smiles, and hugs Tala.*
Brunor: Thanks for waiting. Anything happen while I was asleep?
*Can't help but nuzzle Tala's neck.*

*Gandrea raises her eyebrows at David thinking that she's gonna talk now of all times*
*She kinda just sits there silently and awkwardly*

~

*Tala shrugs*
T: Nothing of importance. What do you want to eat*
*She smiles at the nuzzles*

*David smiles awkwardly.*
David: Oh yeah... you don't talk..
*He shrugs.*
David: Well... can you write your name on the ground, if you want?

---
*Brunor shrugs as well.*
Brunor: I'll find something in the kitchen, you hungry too?

*Gandrea pauses for a bit, then draws 'Gandrea' into the ground*
*She looks back at David, and gives him a insane smile*

~

*Tala nods as her stomach grumbles*
T: Very.

*Santiago nods to Joalia, then faces Voskrinod*
S: She was a xenomorph. After coming into contact with a substance, she became human.
*shrugs*
S: You could call her a hybrid, but she's more human than a lot of other people are.

*Voskrinod nods, and guesses that Joalia either can't speak common tongue, or is mute*
V: Can't say I've heard of a xenomorph, but I am glad to make your acquaintance, Joalia.
*smirks, and concentrates for a brief moment*
*Joalia would be able to feel a faint presence (Vosky) enter her mind*
V: I'm sorry for the intrusion, Joalia, but I felt it better to give you a fair chance at speaking.

*marla*
Oh. Santiago. Not sure if you know it. There's a big ship in orbit seeming to be blockading the planet..

Unkown origin. About 25km + pretty heavy duty.
Just be careful flying if you do.

And somthibf more cheerful. *pulls out some cookies from oven not bothering with oven gloves and puts on side*

Feel free...there best warm.
*dipping a cookie in her coffee*

*David reads the name, and smiles back (Though not as crazy.)*
David: Gandrea, well nice to meet you.
*He feels slightly better from the draining, and sits up straighter.*

---
*Brunor rubs Tala's belly looking concerned.*
Brunor: You are hungry, come lets get you food.
*Grabs her hand, and starts pulling her towards the kitchen.*

*Gandrea nods, and continues smiling crazily, cause that's the only way she smiles*

~

*Tala smiles, and lets herself get pulled along*

~

*Joal jumps slightly from the mind entering, but smiles*
Joal: (Oh hello! It's been a long time since I've spoken to anyone oh em gee!)

*Curt pulls into the garage and hops out of his Bugatti with a some new clothes*

*He locks his Veyron and walks towards the main room*

*Marla waves over to curt as he enters*

Afternoon. Just in time as the cookies just came out to.
Is the Humvee back yet?

*Curt Looks over at Marla*

Curt: I don't remember seeing a Humvee no. And I'll have to pass on the cookies for now, got some new clothes to sort out.

*Curt trots off to his room and starts putting away his new clothes*

*David sits looking back at Gandrea, and feels very awkward.*
David: Well... okay then.
*He starts inspecting the new rune.*

---
*Brunor walks into the live feed with Tala.*

---
*Zoey still on the roof with her Dmr scanning for any banished.*

*Santiago frowns slightly at Joalia jumping*
S: Are you alright?

*Voskrinod keeps smirking*
V: What happened to your voice, if I may ask?
*guessing that Joalia's mute*

*Marla*

Thanks. I'm sure they safe.
Just wondering if back yet.

*waves off and sits on a sofa near the kitchen relaxed*

...

*barbarians still hunting and found a few good kills and start back targeting higher value and ones to order*

*Merg is woken up in the middle of REM sleep by Opal slipping from under the bed and leaping on top of her, claws going towards her throat*
*Mergoux reacts quickly, somewhat used to being attacked in her sleep and throws a clumsy right hook that knocks Opal off of her*
*Mergoux scrambles for a weapon but is tackled from behind and screams as Opal tears into her back*
*Merg rolls and slams Opal into a dresser then grabs a knife from her bedside table and leaps at the cat*
*A violent and bloody struggle ensues*


*Morgan follows Maril along*

*marilania finds a side route back to the Humvee avoiding the main street*

*passes a few drinks slumped by doorways n such*
Thought main street might be harder to go back down again.

*not notice the pearly white pirate in bar and unaware of his interest for now so tries to take a quiet way out of the town*

*The Pirate Captain curses his luck as ain't no way he can keep up with a Humvee then heads back to his ship*


*Morgan leans back into his seat and looks over at Maril*
Morgan: So where are we going?

*David sits with Gandrea for awhile, kinda sad that he no longer feels hunger.*
*He looks towards the room and frowns.*
David: Er... you rest, Gandrea.
*He then stands up, and starts walking towards the room as something draws himself to it.*

*marilania pulls a creased and anotated map out glove box*
*mostly towns and roads as mapping Forrest or land useless and rough outlines of things like rivers or mountains that too fixed*
Ok so we here by this coastline.
There's a lake south of us, coastal road, few places to stop if you want. A town to west but only know its name, the village there's a ruin... Shame was a nice one... Good bakery.

*points out few other things in range*
Or I can head straight way we came.

...

*Marla relaxes in total unawares of fight to death watching tv*

*Morgan shrugs*
Morgan: I don't mind, why don't we go swing by that lake you mentioned?


*Mergoux's room is pretty messed up and splattered with blood*
*Merg's right forearm is royally fethed with bite marks so deep that bone is showing, most of her back and some of her belly are bleeding heavily from deep claw wounds*
*Opal leaps after Merg and tries to sink her teeth into the Warrior's neck*
*Opal's lost a ear, a eye and a hand and has Merg's knife sticking from her ribcage along with several deep stabs and slashes*
*Merg tries to keep the Catlady from sinking her fangs into her throat but it's a losing battle as she can only fight her off with one arm*

*marilania smiles and rips off a bad quote*
I always liked south... It feels like going down hill...
Sure, lake, ruined mansion.

*puts coat on back seat and backs up out carefully with a little parking senser to help as rear visabilty not great thanks to armour *

*heads out of town crusing down a fairly smooth but dusty coastal road for a while before making a turn inland and trees getting denser again*


...

Ooc not sure if Marla meant to react to merg as room closed and all.
Plus I'm not for hours.

*Marla relaxes as I'm unsure *

...

*barbarians file back in via a side door and drop off some furs and other higher value items at market and Furia mixes up a mix of herbs that Il give a answer to a question*

OOC: Sorry, I'll clarify
BiC:
*Merg twists the knife in Opal's side causing the Werelady to scream in pain then she makes a dash for the door*
*She opens it runs into the hallway then is tackled again by Opal and the struggle continues*


*Morgan chillaxes and after a while offers to take over driving*

*David at this point opens the door, and heads towards the scream.*
*Covers ground pretty quick, and is able to smell the blood.*

*Marla reacts and draws her pistol and sword but also relies a tight mellee and not wanna hit merg/stab her in confusion *

*tries to separate targets*

...

*marilania*
Sure... Its inside Forrest edge, right at the large dead tree through the old gates. You use the mansions old drive. Tad over grown and rough.
*lets him take over driving even though not quite best passenger but decides to trust him and slowly relaxes though seems to press unviable brake*

*humvee fairly powerful though gear box is a little stiff *

*Morgan roars down the drive at a much higher speed than Maril and whoops as the car catches air from a particularly rough bump*


*Opal kicks out at Marla with one leg, momentarily distracted enough for Merg to headbutt her in the chin*
*She yelps in pain then uses her one remaining hand to pin Merg's good arm and sinks her teeth into Merg's throat near the shoulder*
*Merg's eyes go wide and she attempts a cry of pain which only comes out as a weak gurgle*

*David stomps up to the confrontation, and roars with rage at the sight of Merg being prone.*
*Runs up behind Opal, and stabs her back with his talons. Then hoists her up, and throws her off Merg.*
*His eyes glow bright green with rage.*

*et's thrown slightly by the kick and Marla holsters pistol*
*goes to try and wack her hard with the swords pommel and punch her off merg instead*

...

*marilania *
Woah... *shaken about abit and grans onto a handle just above door *
Its a long walk home if we break somthibf!

*opens out onto ruins a largish lake side estate with heavy stone walls still standing and plants growing between cracked flag stones next to a lake lined with trees and a small beach and long fallen in jetty and odd beam of a boat*

*Opal's eyes widen at being stabbed and she's thrown from Mergoux with a screech of agony*


*Mergoux's not in good condition, bleeding heavily and weakly trying to stifle the blood spilling from her neck wound*
*Her shredded clothing reveals more tattoos stained with red from all the blood*


*Morgan grins*
Morgan: A man named Daniel Boone taught me something on the ranch. "It's better to live than survive". I took those words to heart!
*He slows down and pulls up in front of the house then turns to Maril*
Morgan: Wow.. .this place looks amazing

OOC: NPC as needed Jhe, gotta head off for a hour.

*Marla looks worried*
David... .. If it is you. Need her in the med bay now!
I can,t help her with a field med kit, she needs surgury now!

Ooc NPC her as needed overnight

*takes merg to med bay if David helps and gives no drugs however much feels bad for pain as she said was bad reaction and works to save her life*
*summons Maria or cal to help depending on choice or both as wounds serious *
...

*marilania*
Aye . I went out here to escape... Aye. But its a good few hours back to room otherwise!
I found it randomly, and its been my quiet little spot.

*obvious from a ruined terrace where she tried to clear a spot to sunbathe of rubble and larger plants previously, and a large old and worn coat of arms visable on the end gables*

House musta been a shell for decades... Maybe longer. I'm gonna enjoy the sun abit. There's a old lake trail too if you feel adventurous *smiles and pulls off t shirt revealing bikini top and lies down on the warm stone to relax*

*relaxes and lets Morgan wander or whatever and explore at own pace and discover its decayed beauty as what remains of a nearby orangery has long lost its control and trees laden with fruit poke out what very little remains of glass'
*
*teases slightly as probbly goes awkwardy but keeps skirt on and kindly however seems comfortable and obviously trusting*

Ooc night. Il be back on my morning. Sorry, tired.

*David slashes Opal into pieces, and drains her essence unwittingly.*
*Then picks Merg up, and carries her to the med bay.*
*Doctors start operating.*
*David goes in search of Cal.*

*Cal is sleeping but his door probs has a name plaque on it showing who lives there, as a doctor it's best for people to know where he lives*


*Merg's heart stops but docs are able to bring it back*
*Blood loss is seriously affecting her and there's no matching blood samples to transfusion into her*


*Opal get's shredded lol*


*Morgan slightly awkward, but smiles*
Morgan: I think I'm gonna go for a walk... you have fun sunbathing!
*Goes for a walk*

*David finds Cal's room, and shreds the door.*
David: Doc wake up! Merg needs help!
*He stands there waiting for him to move.*
David: Hurry!

*Cal sits up in bed blearily as Morri pulls the covers up over herself sleepily blocking out the light*
Cal: Mmm... Right. Sure fing...
*Stumbles out of bed sleepily and shuffles into his slippers and yawns*
Cal: I'll be back in a bit Morri, I've got to go save a life
*Morri's voice is muffled under the covers*
Morri: He's paying for that door...
*Cal smiles sleepily, grabs a glass of old water and splashes his face with it*
Cal: Alright. Let's go. You're talking about the half-elf yes?
*Follows David quickly, slowly but surely waking up properly

*David nods, and leads Cal along.*
David: Yes it is the half elf. C'mon already.

*Cal nods*
Cal: Yes, yes. Poor girl...
*Strides quickly into the medbay and is immediately told by a nurse where to go*
*Cal looks at David*
Cal: You'll have to wait here, I'll let you know as soon as possible.
*He slips a labcoat on over his pajamas and goes towards Merg's operating room as his hands glow bright white and he rubs them together as if he's washing them in the light*
*A orderly offers David a extra large chair*

*Cal goes into the operating room and sees the grim atmosphere then goes to to a lay on hands*

*David waves away the chair not wanting to stay in the hospital. He then walks out of the medbay, and goes outside.*
*He stands outside looking slightly calm.*

*Gandrea chills outside, still waiting for Elise to return*

~

*Tala eats food*

~

*Joal nods to Santiago, and squeezes his hand*
*She then addresses Vosk in her mind*
Joal: (I was shot in the throat by a human. It did a lot to me...)

*Aerin's heads back to the room, kinda disappointed that the most interesting thing he found in the woods was a Water Hag*

*Santiago nods and squeezes Joalia's hand in return*
S: Just making sure.
*smiles and kisses the top of her head*

*Voskrinod's smirks disappears*
V: I'm sorry to hear that, Joalia. Hopefully in time, you will recover. But for now, if I can help you, just say the word. I'm feeling rather generous lately.
*smiles again, and Santiago is kinds confused why Vosky is just standing there but doesn't comment on it*

*Daveth stumbles out of the bar, not just cause he lost his crutches, but also cause he's piss drunk*
*heads outside (stumbling a lot, and using the wall for support)*
D: Shadowsh will fall, and hope hash fleeed. Shteel your heart, the dawn *hic* the dawn will coommme...
*10/10 singing*

*A small explosion happens as soon as Cal tries to use magic on Mergoux*
*Her tattoos glow bright blue and everything is pushed violently away from her*
*Most of the medical team lie groaning on the floor as Mergoux's wounds stop bleeding*


*Gharn comes outside, nods to Gandrea and David then transforms and goes for a run only to pause and stare at Daveth*
Gharn: You have had too much to drink...


*Dria comes out to the main room and smiles at Joelia and Santiago*
Dria: Hi!


*Scatty drops from a tree near the edge of the woods and heads towards the room*

*David nods to Gharn, then wraps himself in his wings.*
*He then waves over at Gandrea, and starts walking towards her. Then notices Daveth and frowns.*
David: You alright?

---
*Brunor eats as well.*

*Gandrea perks up at Daveth's singing, and stands up*
Gandrea: ​The night is long, and the path is dark... Look to the sky, for one day soon, the dawn will come...
*She heard the song from an old friend back in Azeroth, and she starts walking towards Daveth's voice*
*Her singing isn't as good as drunk singing*

~

*Joal looks between Vosk and Santiago, and mentally laughs*
Joal: (If you can, please tell my soul-mate that we are talking mentally.)

*Gharn moves next to Daveth*
Gharn: Perhaps you should lie down?


*Cal groans and sits up then stares around the room and at Mergoux*
Cal: Right then... No magic
*Starts stitching her up as the runic tattoos fade*

*David jaw drops slightly at Gandrea sudden singing.*
David: You sing? Who would have guessed.
*He frowns at all of this.*

*Gandrea nods at David, then continues looking for Daveth*
*She hums the rest of the song*

*Marla is thrown back and groans helping up another nurse who got thrown a wall and gently helps her sit down in a nearby chair *

Cal... No pain killer. She seems to have some kind of bad reaction .. I used *insert name" before and she geot very scared.
*helps cal after a minute to regain composure from magic blast*

...

*marinalia gets up after a while, slings rifle over shoulder from humvee and follows after where Morgan might be*

Hey.. Where are ya? Be careful in here ... The basement is not most steady in a few rooms. Stick to middle.

*wanders slowly though the ruins of the stables before finding finding some old stones that lead to lake path and a old spot you could rest on way round under cover*

...

*Furia leaves thoeth a note in language she told him that his universes most boring technique yeilded a result though still annoyed at the night so decides to leave a note. *

*heads back to the Barbarians who are eating large bear steaks round a open fire *

*Thoth checks the note and quickly goes to find the barbarians*


*Cal nods and does his best to heal Mergoux*


*Morgan is wandering around and smiles when he sees Maril*
Morgan: Hey, this place is awesome!


*Gharn frowns follows Daveth around for a bit, making sure he doesn't fall and hurt himself*

*marla helps cal and cautious what she uses on merg as too weak to wanna make her ill to. *

*barbarians gathered round a fire eating bear meats, cleaning heavy weapons and swords and celebrating a good hunt. *
*most turn when notice thoeth and camp goes rather quiet*

...

*marilania *
Yeah. I never was out this way so your first to find it bar me I think... I don,t think anyone else has set foot here in years.

There's a old folly somewhere round this path I think... I not fully exlpored thr place my self.
*looks round as the place has few land marks*
*alot more relaxed and seems happier to have got out room*

*Morgan nods*
Morgan: It's definetely pretty old, you wanna show me around what you know?


*Mergoux stabilizes cause that whole thing was a dumb idea*


*Thoth scans the barbarians*
Thoth: I seek Furia, bring her forth

*marinalia*
Sure... Just over here.
*leads down a rather over grown trail and up a sheer section of collapsed stairway finaly finding what she after*

Agh.. Knew it was round here.
*leads to a partly collapsed columned structure like a round Greek temple next to a area of badly overgrown now wild roses and hedges*

Here... I thought one would be here... Most estates have such things.

...

*Marla relaxes slightly as merg finaly out of danger for now and sits down tiredly *

...

*Furia steps forward on her own and several others eye theoth carefully and look defensive of clam mate*

*furia*
Yes. I'm here.
And I need no one to bring me.

*Thoth looms over Furia*
Thoth: I received a note. What do you have for me?


*Morgan looks around*
Morgan: What is this place?
*Looks around for any writing, if it's Greek or Latin or Sumerian he'd be able to read it*

*Furia*
You have a child.
Boring night though. Like board.

Said in note.
*barbarians look round and seem to casting judgement if his genes are good ernough *

...

*marinalia*
Umm.. Estates. They build these for decoration..
Sometimes there restored ruins. .. Place to sit out weather.
*has writing in a greekish language but that's mostly a old serris of poems its builder seemed to like*

*clouds slowly starten to darken and rain comes down and get colder*
*not notice at first but Marinalia sits down and shivers slightly and goes slightly paler*
*Morgan should remember she has a cold weakness*

*Thoth clicks his beak*
Thoth: How on Danu did you give birth so... soon?
*Seems very surprised and intrigued*


*Morgan looks around*
Morgan: Getting kinda cold, here
*Takes off his jacket and goes to put it around her shoulders*
Morgan: It's getting dark too... You want to light a fire? Or try to head back?

*furia*
No... Child inside me still..
We have no such separate language as you.
Child in and out...

You not that magical...

...

*marinalia nods and hand shakes somewhat pulling jacket round self as cold effecting her and placing rifle next to her*
Fire... Need warmth... Trail not easy in dark...
My blood not handle cold well. Winter survival was hardest thing I had to do.

*shakily pulls a magazine out for pistol and hands a few shels*
The propellent charge should get it going faster.

*Morgan nods and looks more serious*
Morgan: Alright, hang on just a moment
*He looks around then starts pulling the vines and creepers off the ruined walls and pillars and makes a large pile*
*He then makes a smaller pile and starts that on fire, slowly feeding it from the bigger pile of greenery*
Morgan: Come on, sit by me and let's get you warm


*Thoth shakes his head at his own stupidity*
Thoth: Of course. My apologies, simply keep me informed.
*He cocks his head clicks his beak rapidly*
Thoth: Just... wait. We will see what powers the child has once they are born, as for my own magic.
*He frowns down at the woman then flicks a finger at one of the Barbarians who's weapons melt*

*Daveth laughs when he hears Gandrea singing, and heads towards her*
*stops when he sees her*
D: You do the singing too? Was good.

*Santiago nods to Dria and smiles*
S: Hello, Dria.

*Voskrinod nods*
V: Of course.
*quickly explains it the situation to Santiago, cause I cbf writing that whole interaction out rn, and Santiago frowns*
*Low key jealous that someone else can talk with Joalia, but he's also happy that she can talk with someone*
S: Thank you for telling me. But how can you do it?

*Voskrinod shakes his head*
V: It's something I always could do.

*Dria smiles at Joalia and Santiago*
Dria: Welcome back!
*Gestures next to Joalia*
Dria: Can I sit?
*Overhears the convo cause she's right there*
Dria: You can speak through your mind Joalia? Like psychically? That's really cool!
*Grins, showing her shark teeth*

*marinalia*
Sorry... I shoulda been more careful... *goes closer to Morgan and leans closer trying to keep warmer*
*still pale but slightly more steady closer by fire*

Our resistance to heat has a cost.
*first time he probbly seen her vunrable from cold anyway *

...

*barbarians jump up and are fearful but also angry and suprised*
*Furia*
We know how to look after our own...
Magic rare..... Powerful but magic price high. Dangerous.
Nature make danger as warning...

...

*marla*
I'm gonna rest cal... If David turns up Il tell him she,s stable.
*sits in a chair bear entrnece and rests eyes half asleep*

*Santiago nods*
S: Of course, have a seat. And it's good to be back.

*Voskrinod smiles*
V: Yes, telepathy. A very useful skill.
*didn't expect the shark teeth, but they don't seem to bother him*

*Gandrea nods, and tilts her head at Daveth's drunkness*
*Sighs and shakes her head*

~

*Joal smiles at Dria, but leans her head on Santiago's hand cause she can*
*She's happy that she's back*

*Cal nods*


*Thoth smirks*
Thoth: Magic is only dangerous to those who don't know how to use it. I know how to use it, therefor it is not dangerous to me.


*Dria smiles and sits*
Dria: I always wondered what it'd be like to be telepathic, people normally assume that because we're twins, Morgan and I have some form of... connection, but that's just not true


*Morgan puts a arm around Maril and smiles teasingly*
Morgan: Maybe if you'd not walk around in a bikini-top...
*Keeps feeding the fire*

*David still remains seated outside and still looks confused by Gandrea's singing.*
*He sighs, rises to his feet, and heads to the medbay to check on Merg.*

*Daveth frowns at Gandrea's frown*
D: Somethink wrong?
*swaying as he stands*

*Santiago smiles at Joalia and moves himself closer to Joalia*

*Voskrinod nods*
V: With fortune, you could become a sorceress. But such an endeavor is not to be taken lightly.

*marinalia smiles weakly and begins to feel more normal as fire warms her back up and aquires warmth off Morgan*
, you did not exactly tell me not to. Or look away... Maybe keep this bit of the trip quiet from the room..
*smiles teasingly back and plays wafting her hand through flames knowing it hot hurt her*

...

*Furia*
Then you lucky... Many mage more risk to self and those round than master...

*other agree and nod*
Magic is like fire... Powerful fire can burn you.
She ours to protect... Kin folk ours. Loyal to kin..

*furia*
We cautious of such forces... Some things not to be taken lightly..

*Gandrea rolls her eyes, and points at Daveth's swaying*
*She then moves closer so she can take his weight and lead him to his room so he can sleep*
*She doesn't know that he technically killed Elise, btw*

~

*Joalia snuggles, then looks at Vosk*
Joal: (Do you think you could fix my connection with my partner? I miss being able to talk to him...)

*Morgan goes a bit red and looks away but says nothing*


*Dria nods*
Dria: I can do a little, but only the very very basic stuff. I've got a long life to learn though!


*Gharn was also kinda helping Daveth and looks at Gandrea*
Gharn: Will you be alright taking him to bed?


*Thoth nods*
Thoth: What you say rings true. I however am the most learned being in existence, such worries are long past me

*marilania just leans against and begins to nod off asleep*
Hey, I not mind... Not like im naked.
Id not of worn if I was not comfortable being seen in it.

*starts falling asleep pretty fast from heat and closes eyes begining to regain her normal skin colour *

....

*barbarians*
Don,f worry... She safe with us..

Aye, woman with child of great value...
Protected. Know of healer here.. Blonde woman if need help
... Daughter buys furs. Good taste.

*all nod and some go back to meal calmly and others sat carving detailed animals of bone in some kind of cermaonial purpose*

*David checks on Merg, but doesn't wake her.*
*Feels uncomfortable being in the medbay in general, and starts heading out again.*

---
*A portal opens at the treeline, and a winged figure steps out.*
*Has the same characteristics and build as David, but has a orange aura.*
*He starts walking towards the room.*

*Morgan goes a bit redder but calms down as Maril starts falling asleep*
*Smiles and keeps her warm by feeding the fire more*


*Thoth nods*
Thoth: I should hope so. As for a healer, the winged man with silver hair is far better than the blond humani. I would trust him over the humani
*Waves his hand again and the melted sword fixes itself, also becoming far sharper than normally possible then leaves*


*Merg's out cold with loads of stitches*

*Daveth frowns as he gets lead along*
D: Nothin' wrong with a drink or three.
*looks around*
D: You see Elise? It's been... two, three, two days now. Elise? Elise? You around here?

*Voskrinod thinks*
V: I had not taken you for a telepath, Joalia, if that's what you mean by connection. But I might be able to aid you, though I cannot make any promises. What caused your connection to be broken? Was it the attack?
*nods to Dria at the same time*
V: Just be cautious. Magic comes with risks.

*Aerin reaches the main room, sees the small crowd and decides that the kitchen is better*

*marilania eventually falls asleep and jerks slightly having minor nightmare before properly sleeping peacefully*

*rain carries on for a while but the old shelter is fairly solid still and the small lake is a tad misty but looks all the more senic anyway while it does*
...

*Marla looks up*
Oh.. David? She be ok.. We did our best to make her stable...
She may have odd scar but that's likely the worst.
*is pretty tried but still passed on message*

...

*barbarian nods*
Whoever we find first...
Danger not pick time best healer happens be there.
*sits and goes back to carving a wolf in bone with a small knife*

*one marverals at the sword and studies it moost intently with thr smith Brother*

*Dria nods*
Dria: Oh I know, I've not dealt with any first hand but I've seen some... ill affects


*Morgan also falls asleep after a while*


*Thoth goes back to the room then to his library*

*Gandrea frowns, and shakes her head*
*Is a bit worried that Elise isn't with Daveth, but makes a mental note that she'll head out looking for her once Daveth is in bed*

~

*Joal does a mental smile, cause that's totally a thing*
Joal: (I had quite the connection to my former family via telepathy. And yes, the attack severed my connection with my partner, and I have not been able to fix it since then. The same happened with my legs... My arms have fixed themselves, and I assume my legs will in time as well.)

~

*Elise isn't in any danger, and is talking about the inhabitants of the room with Illidan*
*She is still scared, and is kinda glad Maiev isn't anywhere close, cause she would hate Elise for talking with Illidan*

*David walks outside, and covers himself with his wings.*
*He has a strange feeling inside him, and knows Detheroc is doing something.*
*Has yet to notice the winged figure, who shifted himself into a pdf guardsmen.*

---
*Detheroc explains the situation in spirit form to his brother, making sure to hide the conversation from David.*

---
*Detheroc's bro heads towards the pdf barracks.*

*Daveth frowns as Gandrea shakes her head*
D: Normally doesn't take this long for her to come back...

*Voskrinod nods*
V: Do not practice on your own, find someone skilled to teach you. It is much safer that way. And I would recommend that you avoid any Lodges, times are too uncertain to tell if they will survive. So telepathy is in your blood? Do you still have family nearby?

*Dria nods*
Dria: My father's been teaching me a little, but the most impressive trick I can do is this
*She snaps her finger and makes a bright red mini-firework*

*Gandrea frowns more, and finally arrives at Daveth's room*
*She can smell Elise's scent, and guesses what they did*
*She is getting a bit more worried as she goes*

~

Joal: (I hope not. They tried killing me and my partner. They were bad...)

~

*Illidan eventually nods, and lets Elise go*
I: I will allow two of my Illidari to escort you back. These forests are dangerous. And a lot of things have been arriving lately.
E: ...I...Okay... Thanks? Usually I'm the escort...
I: I know. I thought this would suit your humour.
*Elise flushes at Illidan hearing her*

*David shivers as Detheroc goes all out to try and dominate him.*
*Covers himself with his wings, and groans with effort.*

---
*Detheroc does his best to hide his brother presence from David.*

---
*The pdf barracks has the brief sounds of gunfire, then followed up with screaming.*
*The screaming doesn't seem to stop.*

*Daveth sighs*
D: You see Elise... tell her to stop by.
*smiles at Ganny*
D: Thanks for the walk.
*stumbles to his bed and faceplants onto it*

*Voskrinod watches Dria's trick and smiles*
V: A good start. Soon you'll be turning villagers into toads, I see.
*chuckles, then frowns at Joalia*
V: If I run into them, perhaps I can set them straight. But that is a shame, I was hoping that they could give me an idea on how you heal.

*Dria frowns*
Dria: I would hope not... I mean unless they deserved it I guess
*Gharn walks over next to her, flops down and puts his arm around her as she smiles and snuggles up to him*
Dria: Hey... How was your run?
*Gharn groans*
Gharn: I spent the last 4 hours making sure a drunk man didn't fall and bust his face

*Gandrea stares at Daveth for a bit, then helps him out of his clothes, admires him for a bit, then covers him with blankets*
*Closes the door to his room, then goes to find Elise*
*Pauses when she hears the screams and David covering himself with his wings*
*Starts walking towards David*

~

*Joal nods, and sighs mentally*
Joal: (They would try to kill you if they saw you.)
*Shrugs, and continues holding Santiago's hand*

~

*Elise starts walking back with two silent Illidari*
*She can teleport, but she's enjoying the walk*

*Voskrinod nods*
V: I don't suppose my charming smile will be enough to convince them otherwise. Unfortunate, that. I guess I will have to find another route.
*nods again, this time to Dria*
V: It was merely a joke. I would hope that you don't abuse your powers.

*Dria shakes her head*
Dria: That's the last thing I'd ever use my powers for
*She sits and chats for a bit before Gharn goes to the gym and she goes to do a little more woodworking*

*David keep his head in his hands, and quivers slightly at Detheroc's mental attack.*
*His eyes also burn green,.*

---
*The pdf barracks goes eerily silent.*
*Also all the lights are off in the building.*

*Gandrea kneels beside David, and stares at him*
*She can't really help him right now, but stays by his side for support*

~

Joal: (Thank you, this means a lot to me. And I have not even done anything for you.)

*Marla wakes up and heads out med bay*
Hey... *yawns*
Coffee... *bee lines straight for caffine before noticing the barracks*
*lights out n silent *
(ummm that's not good....)

...

*marilania blinks awake and looks out as sun wakes her up*
*looks out over the lake and the remains of a fire*
*tries not to wake Morgan and sits up to stretch neck*

*Voskrinod shrugs*
V: And I ask for nothing. It's not what I came here for. But I think I've spent too long in your mind, it is a strange feeling.
*smiles at Joalia, and Joalia would feel Voskrinod's presence leave*
V: I think I'll be taking my leave now. I've got some things to think over. A pleasure meeting you.
*bows his head to Santiago and Joalia, and turns to head off to the woods*

*Santiago nods to Vosky, then returns his attention to Joalia*

*David's sorta blind to everything around him, as he fights for control.*
*Keeps gritting his teeth, and shivering.*

---
*A sickly green light glow from the windows of the pdf barracks.*

*Marla looks over at green glow*
Hey.. Santingo..
Wanna help me check that out..
That glow seems less than natural...

I don,t think that's good... Somthibf just looks..wrong..

*Gandrea stays by David's side for help*

~

*Joal looks at Santiago, and shakes her head at him before he gets to answer*

*Santiago frowns*
S: Do you have any idea what's going on in there? Any cameras?
*looks back at Joalia*
S: No?

*marla*
Inside but outside linked far as I know.
There internal to the barracks only for security..

You can try though.

*checks subconsciously where pistol and swords are and she has ammo*

*Curt walks out into the main room*

*He heads for the kitchen*

*Marla waves distractedly to curt *
Hey... Evening curt.

*still concerned about green glow as that ain't normal *

*Curt waves to Marla*

Curt: Hey. How you going?

*marla*
Alright.
Bit busy, med bay n such.
*keeps eye on barracks just in case*

I got a text.. Humvee not a issues, they stopped overnight before heading home. No worries after all.

*Curt nods*

Curt: That's good to hear.

*He walks into the kitchen and starts getting some breakfast*

*marla*
Aye.. Bad storm out that way on weather. I guess they took shelter and will head back once the roads dry out abit.

Marlin Il be fine.

Mind making mea coffee while your at it. ?

*Curt nods*

Curt: No problem. How do you like it?

*Curt pulls the milk out of the fridge*

*Aerin looks over at Curt, and shrugs slightly*
A: Another human.

*Santiago nods and looks down at Joalia*
S: And you've lost all connection inside?

*Voskrinod sees the glowing green PDF barracks and frowns*
*probably can sense the fethery that's going on inside as well, and shifts into an owl before flying into the PDF and starts scouting around*

*David keeps fighting his mental battle.*
*Notices Gandrea, but only manages to give her a pained look.*

---
*The pdf barracks remains glowing green, and a single guardsmen walks out of the it.*
*He starts heading towards the room.*

*Curt looks over at Aerin*

Curt: You know you are a hum--. *Notices Aerin's cat eyes* Never mind... The name's Curt, nice to meet you.

*Curt holds out his hand for a handshake*

*Aerin doesn't extend his hand*
A: Aerin of Mulbrydale. And no, I'm a Witcher. Not a human.

*Voskrinod explores the PDF base, looking for anyone (both PDF or an intruder)*

*Mergoux wakes up but doesn't move to get out of bed just yet cause she's in some pretty intense pain*


*Morgan does stuff with Maril or something*


*Morri walks towards the kitchen and nods to Curt*
Morri: Morning Curt
*She looks at Aerin*
Morri: Hello Witcher.


*Cal is resting*


*Dria carves some wood*


*Gharn is working out*


*Quetz is sleeping again in the kitchen*

*Guardsmen walks into the room, and looks around.*
*He smiles.*
*Walks towards the kitchen.*

*Aerin nods to Morri, then goes back to his food*

*Voskrinod is still exploring*

*Kara kneels in front of Lusacan, a new scar running along her cheek, and down her throat*
Let it be a remimder. No one visits unless it is at my bidding.
*Kara nods once, almost imperceptibly*

*Morri gives the guardsman a odd look as they don't normally come into the room*
*She shrugs and goes to make herself some food*

*Curt retracts his hand*

Curt: Nice to meet you Aerin.

*He turns and nods to Morri*

Curt: Morning.

*Looks at the guardsman and raises an eyebrow*

*Guardsmen remains silent and observes the room.*
*Still smiling.*

*Morri looks at the guardsman*
Morri: Why are you here? Is there something wrong with the PDF? Are you looking for someone?

*Gandrea still remains beside David, and she isn't smiling*

~

*Joal makes sure Santiago doesn't go, and backs up against him*

*marla*
You alright soldier?
*pdf generaly avoid room social areas*

Thanks curt. *
*explains and sips a mug of coffee*

*Marla waves to Morri to*
Oh Morgan and Marlin got caught up overnight. Bad weather.
They took shelter before heading home. There safe.
...

*marinalia gets up and eventually meianders back with Morgan to Humvee to head back*
You wanna do the drive back?
*sighs as left t shirt out in rain, pulls off leather jacket and puts on her own fur coat*

Oh and thanks for helping me last night. I was tad silly. .
*hugs him and kisses on cheek before waiting on who going to drive*

*Curt nods to Marla and heads off towards the lounge*

*He flops onto a couch and starts watching TV*

*Morgan smiles and is a bit flustered but nods*
Morgan: I'll drive, it's no trouble


*Morri nods*
Morri: I know, Morgan texted me last night, I just didn't see it until this morning.

*marinalia*
Ok. *passes the keys, puts rifle in back*
One minute... Hungry....
*vanishes into ruined orangey and returns with some peaches*
Snack for the way back, catch.
*throws one over and climbs into passenger seat*
Take it easy on the drive, I'm trying to eat *smiles and sits back*
...

*marla relaxed and sips a coffee*
I thought id say. After there recent travel history. Well.

Marilin had some bad luck..

*Morri nods sadly*
Morri: Yes... I pity her, and the boy who died...


*Morgan catches and smiles*
Morgan: Thanks!
*Hops in and starts driving back*

*marla*
Aye, that was rough.
Bur she had alot of support, friends. Maria knows it too well.
She,d of been far worse having to handle this alone.

My father kept his family out of the way to.

. ..

*marinalia*
*hums along to rock station on quiet*
So... Oh.. Take a left here.. Shortcut down past the ford, saves about 10 minutes. Try to keep right. Thr left hand edge is eroded.

So.. What's betting we missed a invasion... Or some kind of drama?
That or some kinda trouble.

*Morgan ponders jokingly with many loud "Hmmm...." thinking noises*
Morgan: Three people are hospitalized or have been at some point while we were gone. And... one attack. That's my bet


*Morri nods*
Morri: I'm glad she and Morgan have gotten close. They both need friends their age. Jake and Denny are great of course, but Denny's a little... introverted, and I don't actually remember the last time I saw Jake...

*marilania laughs and watches room come into sight *
2 in med bay... Not including Gharn. One minor attack. Things seem calmer.

We sure live in a calm safe environment.
Oh. I'm next to a vey..on.. Be careful when your parking.

...

*Marla smiles*
Aye. They good, they get on.
Denny... She not like our family...

Jake... Umm been a while but you know Jake is well... Strange things seem to attract to him.

*Morgan pulls in next to the Bugatti and is very careful getting out so as not to so much as brush against it*
Morgan: Sweet ride...


*Morri nods*
Morri: She may be introverted and we may not know her as well as others, but I trust Jake, and if he trusts her then I do to

*Marla waves as Maria arrives and hands her a coffee *
Aye.. Jakes alright. Thr monsters that seem to follow him. He more a danger magnet than my neice.

*maria*
Hey, thanks sis. Just seen the Humvee back. Marinalia let Morgan drive.. That's different.

...


*marilania slides out and grabs her rifle case*
Aye... Too delicate for me.. Id be scared to break it!


*smiles and heads in*
Hey folks.
*rushes in and hugs Maria and Marla and hands over a small metal box*

*The guardsmen ignores everyone, and finds a empty room.*
*He starts inscribing runes on the wall that look similar to what Gandrea writes.*

---
*Finally Detheroc relents the attack, (After knowing his brother successfully infiltrated the room) and David slowly crumples to the ground.*
*He makes a long winded groan, and digs his nails in the dirt.*
David: Stop... please.. stop...

*Santiago frowns at Joalia, but doesn't make a move to get up*
S: Joal... you know I can take care of myself. It'd just be a routine sweep, until the power can come back on.

*Voskrinod flies out of the barracks, cause he didn't find anything to explain what happened*

*Gandrea remains by David's side, and looks him over*
*Feels that something is off, but rules it down to Detheroc trying to take control*
*Remains seated beside him*

~

*Joal shakes her head at Santiago, and makes sure he doesn't have a direct line of standing up*
*She frowns, and crosses her arms*

*David start to shakily rise, and vomits up a gout of green liquid.*
*He holds his side and groans after vomiting. Gives Gandrea a side glance.*
David: I'm okay...
*Starts dry heaving.*

---
*The pdf barracks is empty of people, but the walls are covered in blood.*
*After vosk explores the whole place he doesn't find any pdf troopers, or bodies of pdf troopers... but he does hear a big banging sound in the pdf motor pool.*

*Merg eases herself to a sitting position, groans in pain and tries getting out of the bed*
*Left arm is in a cast and sling and much of her torso is covered in bandages under the hospital pj's*
*Her right leg buckles as she puts pressure on it and she falls but slowly, doggedly stands up, leaning heavily on a IV stand*


*Morgan nods to Maril*
Morgan: I think I'm gonna say hi to Dria and hit the hay. Thanks for the trip!
*Before she runs off he smiled and hugged her then went to find his sister*


*Morri smiles*
Morri: Hello Maril, how was your trip? Where's Morgan?


*Dria is lounging on the couch in the Family's apartment playing a video game when Morgan sits down next to her*
Dria: Hey. How was the trip?
Morgan: Good! How've you been
*Dria grins teasingly*
Dria: Good huh? I bet you and Maril had fun
*She elbows him as he frowns*
Morgan: It's not like that!
*Dria laughs*
Dria: Relax! I'm just teasing. I believe you.
*Morgan grabs a controller and the twins play together for a while before Morgan goes to bed*


*Cal goes to investigate the loud thud and cry of pain from Merg's room*

*marla*
I'm gonna take a look anyway...Maria..

*maria*
Sure.

*both head off to the barracks and draw pistols*
*find the scene and get rather alert*

*shout back out*
Something very bad happened in here... No sign what but no life signs...

...

*marilania smiles*
Hey Morri.

Oh. Went to the port, got stuff. Maria needed some herbs.
Eventful time in the port.. I kept him out of trouble don,t worry.
Umm.. Went to spot. Stopped off the night by a ruined lake side estate.
*avoids part they slept and kept her warm *

Headed back here.
No ambush, monsters or assassins for once...

Morgan, getting some rest he said. He did do the drive back.

...

*Marinalia*
Hey .. Need the rifle Marla?

*Gandrea tilts her head, and inspects David's face*
*Uses David's hand to wipe his face, then continues inspecting it*
*She furrows her eyebrows in thought*

~

*Elise eventually gets back to the room with the two Illidari, and freezes at seeing Gandrea at close proximity to David*

~

*The Illidari don't register shock as they draw their weapons, and make their way towards David*
*They smell three demons in the area, and pinpoint two of them(Elise and David)*

*Santiago sighs*
S: I don't want to argue with you. But...
*looks into Joalia's eyes, and sighs again*
S: Fine.

*Voskrinod turns and heads to investigate the motor pool*
*worried about not seeing a single body*

*David looks back at Gandrea with a confused expression, when suddenly Detheroc's voice crawls out from the back of his mind.*
Detheroc: We are in danger David, we should run while we still have the chance... or you can let me take control... I can kill them...
*David shakes his head, and looks up to see the two Illdari approaching.*

---
*The banging sound gets louder and louder as Vosk approaches the Motor pool.*
*There also appears to be a lot of more blood around.*

*The large bay doors for the motor pool appeared to be chained closed, but the banging can be heard behind it.*

*Gandrea looks between David and the Illidari, and is kinda sad that she can't do anything due to lack of mana*
*Kinda steps back, then notices Elise, and makes a bee-line towards her*

~

*Elise notices Gandrea moving towards her, then does the same*

~

*Illidari keep moving towards David*
I1: Take left, I take right.
I2: Understood.
*They do so, and brandish their weapons*

~

*Joal nods in satisfaction, then leans her head on Santiago's arm*

*David manages to get to his feet, and stares at the two Illidari.*
David: Please... leave me alone.. I don't want to fight.
*Detheroc makes a dramatic sigh.*
Detheroc: They care not.. they will kill us, David... let me take control. It'll be better this way...

---
*Guardsmen finishes the runes, and walks out of the room.*
*He grins, and starts heading towards the outside.*

*Marla and Maria slowly clear way through the PDF offices and housing areas behind where Vosk ended up as they entered much later*

*find what's assumed the same ad him in blood. No bodied and no signs why*

...

*marinalia packs grabs rifle and heads off to room for a shower and some clean clothes*

*Santiago looks down at Joalia sighs softly*
*leans down and kisses the top of her head*

*Voskrinod shifts into his human form and frowns at the chains*
V: If someone is in there, take a step back.
*summons a fireball and hurls it at the chains*

*The Illidari move in closer, then look at David's tattoo-runes*
I1: Odd.
I2: Never seen that before.
I1: Doesn't matter.
I2: Understood.
*They move in to attack*

~

*Gandrea and Elise watch*

~

*Joal smiles at the kiss, and remains on Santiago's arm*

*David stands, and makes a defensive gesture with his claws.*
*He parries the first attack, appearing a little sluggish sense the recent mental siege.*
*Detheroc actually helps David, warning him on incoming attacks, and feints.*

---
*The guardsmen watches the Illdari and David battle.*
*He is still smiling.*

---
*The door opens, and sits silently ajar for a moment. Then a giant stitched up monster steps through door.*
Monster: Rend! Meat!
*He brings down his giant meat cleaver on Vosks location.*

OOC: Monster

*Mergoux brushes past Cal who looks almost indignant*
Cal: What in Danu's name do you think you're doing!?
*Mergoux looks back at him*
Mergoux: Going to check on my friend... I won't be long doc, I know I need rest.
*Cal frowns but gets the feeling his arguing won't do any good as per usual and sighs*
Cal: Fine. Let me help you at least
*Mergoux deliberates for a moment then nods and leans on Cal rather heavily as Elder and Half-Elf search for David*
*First they search the kitchen and living room then Merg starts towards outside*


*Morri follows after the Sisters and sees the monster*
Morri: Oh feth!
*Summons Horace the Direcrow and several of his kin and stands ready to back up Vos and the sisters*

*Marla and Maria arrive behind her after clearing offices with swords drawn and pistols*

*marla*
Oh hell...
Morri... You might need this...
*hands her one of the twinned power swords*

*maria*
Why is ot always this....
*both sisters have power swords and pistols*

...

*marinalia in her room getting a shower and got the bedrooms temp on fairly warm for comfort*
*unaware of the battle*

*Illidari strike blindingly fast, and are more than a match for Detheroc by themselves, let alone together*
*One of the Illidari(newer one) makes a false step, and gets hit in return by the other Illidari for his incompetence*

~

*Gandrea watches with slight anxiety, while Elise is kinda indifferent considering how Detheroc fethed up her face*

*Santiago smirks at Joalia and uses his free hand to stroke her hair*
*makes a mental note to speak to Zoey later, in case she found something*

*Voskrinod's eyes widen slightly and he rapidly backs up*
V: Go back from where you came.
*hurls a fireball at the monster and keeps backing up*

*Morri catches the sword(s) and does some fighting with her crows too*


*Merg feels faint and has to sit down on a sofa to rest for a while*
*Cal watches over her*


OOC: Meesa sleepy. Be back in a couple hours.
Also, Direcrows are big suckers that in the books basically totaled a hummer by pecking holes through the metal and windshield, so they'd hurt things probs

*David starts getting ripped apart, and getting beaten into the ground.*
*Detheroc is worried, and tries convincing David to run at this point.*

---
*Guardsmen raises his hands, and chants a series of words to the sky.*
*Five meteors fall from the sky, and land pretty close to David's location.*

---
*The abomination roars with rage, and stumbles towards Vosk.*
Abomination: Rend and tear!
*The fireball causes his dry flesh to light on fire, but seems to be able to keep fighting.*

*Marla and Maria resort to good old standby and back up slightly firing bolt shells into the monsters head, neck and upper body hoping that they hit somthibf important.

*quickly expend way though first magazines*

...

*Voskrinod glances back at Morri, and the M's*
V: Get out of here.
*charges at the Abomination, trying to draw it's attention from the trio*
*fists crackle with orange energy*

*The Illidari that didn't feth up looks at the meteors with a look of anticipation, where as the one that fethed up is confused*
I1: Ready yourself, we are going to fight something worth fighting.
I2: Understood...
I1: Stay here, I will go deal with them.
*Illidari 1 moves to do that, and notices David is still alive, but doesn't bring up that fact for some reason*
*The other Illidari stands over David, and watches the better Illidari*

~

*Elise keeps on backing the Illidari, while Gandrea makes a mental note to not mock how hard David got rekt*

~

*Joal enjoys the peace and quiet*

*Maria and Marla nod guessing a guy with magic fists, fire balls and such knows what he doing and has a plan or knows what he fighting*

*David lying on the ground not planning on moving.*
*From the meteorite craters stomps giant flaming infernals, they start making their way towards the Illidari.*

---
*Abomination keeps attacking Vosk, and tries to hook him with his meat hook.*

---
*The "Guardsmen" frowns at the incoming tank, and snaps his fingers.*
*The tank drivers eyesblows out of his head in a gory display, and he begins to scream.*
*Accidentally veers the tank off into the forest.*

*The tank gon be busy for a while I suppose*
*commander begins treating the wounded driver*

*Illidari smiles, then arrives at the Infernal's location*
*Slides underneath one of the infernal's legs, and slashes at the rocky joints of their knees*

~

*Gandrea is about 30/70 on going to help David, but she wants to stay with Elise more*

*marla*
Ok... There's somthibf not very friendly in there...
Need somthibf heavier.
*jogs off to get armour with Maria and heavier guns *

...

*Voskrinod moves with surprising speed, and narrowly avoids the Abomination's hook*
*punches at Abby's wrist, and if it connects there'll be a discharge (heh) of energy*

*The Illidari rolls backwards, closer to the Infernal so its swing misses, then climbs up its back to slash better*
*He realizes he's outgunned, outnumbered, and most likely fethed, so he decides against staying*
*Vaults off before he slices the Infernal, then runs a bit away from the Infernal's, waving his hands in the air to try to keep the agro of as many of the Infernal's he can, cause he can probably kill two at a time, but not five lol*

~

*Gandrea sighs, and starts walking towards David while holding Elise's hand*

~

*Elise frowns, then finally notices Gandrea's wounds, and almost faints*

*Maria and Marla return back with armour and try to cover Morris retreat later or help her out as required and OT decides. *

...

*marinalia rests in her room*

...

*several barbarians are having a archery compition outside on a far side of the room aiming for a few low grade furs*

*Manages to get all of their attentions.*

*David slowly starts getting up, and looks up at the one Illdari.*
David: Can I please get up?

---
*Guardsmen disappears in the woods.*

---
*Abomination is clumsy and stupid.*
*He gets hit and chunks of flesh blow off of his limbs.*
Abomination: Oww!
*He keeps trying to attack Vosk, but it ain't looking good for Abby.*

*Morri ignores the "Run" order and sends her crows to distract the abomination to allow Vos to do his thing*
Morri: Fly my pretties! Fly!



*Merg and Cal go outside in the search for David*
*Merg gasps as she sees David probs pretty beat up on the ground and starts limping towards him rapidly. Ignores the Illidari as she tries to approach David*
Mergoux: David!

*Voskrinod lunges towards Abby's thigh, having avoided some hits that would have probably cut him in two*
V: You should not have stayed, Morrigan.

*Morrigan stands well back, nabs a lasgun and fires a few times at the Abby*
Morrigan: I've faced creatures far more nightmarish than this Voskrinod! Just keep yourself alive!

*the tank commander settles down for the night and continues to treat the injured driver*
*Milo is missing*

*A lone man with graying brown hair, a blue jerkin, and nothing else of note besides a steel sword strides towards the room*
*stops at the door and starts pounding on it with a fist*
Figure: Open the door! I demand it!

*Cal deliberates then sighs and allows Mergoux to head towards Dave on her own and walks towards the man*
Cal: What do you want?
*Frowns at the man's rather rude attempt at entry*

*Figure frowns at Cal's wings, then puffs his chest up*
Man: I challenge you, mutant! For my lady's honor, I will defeat you in combat.

*Cal blinks*
Cal: What? Challenge me?
*He frowns*
Cal: I'm no mutant, human. What do you want here?
*Crosses his arms impatiently*

*Figure draws his sword and frowns*
Man: I have come to challenge you for the honor of Maid Bilberry. Once I have defeated you, mutant, I will be ninety nine knights away from proving my vow to her. Now fight!

*Cal jerks back*
Cal: Hey! Watch it! I'm not going to fight you!
*Stands back, holding out his hands in a peace gesture*

*David gestures for Merg to stay back sense there is a angry Illidari standing over him.*
*He is still slowly getting up.*

*Abomination doesn't block the attack to his thigh, and roars in pain when he is hit.*
*He finally collapses with a thud, and expires.*

*Merg stops and glares at the Illidari then moves to help David up*
Merg: Come on Dave, we need to get you some help...
*Speaks softer than normal*

*Illidari roundhouses Merg in the chin, then stamps down on David's back*
I2: You will not stand.

~

*Gandrea kinda slowed down to catch up to David cause Elise is holding her back fussing over her wounds*

*Voskrinod turns and looks back at Morri*
V: Let's get out of here. Nothing else to see.

*Man grits his teeth*
Man: You insult my maid's honor by not accepting combat. Draw your blade!

*Cal is wearing a sweater vest and slacks*
Cal:... Do I look like I have a blade on me? Look, I just surrender. Are we done now?


*Morri nods and pats Horace on the head, thanks him and walks after Vos*
Morri: Any idea what that was? Do you think it did this?
*Looks around at the PDF Barracks*


*Merg gets knocked down and lies in a heap, groaning in pain and stunned*

*David groans at being stomped on, and tries getting up again.*
*Looks over at Merg, and groans again.*

*Infernals keep chasing the one illdari into the woods.*

*The Illidari is fast, but doesn't go too fast as to lose the Infernal's*
*Turns around, and starts climbing a tree for a sneak attack*

~

*Illidari 2 pushes down on David's back more*

*Merg spits out blood then half lifts herself off the ground turns a hate-filled look at the Illidari*
Mergoux: Let him go! What has he done to you to deserve this?!

*Curt rolls out of bed and heads towards the kitchen*

Curt: (God I need something to do...)

*Something big and angry is walking around in the forest*

OOC I love computers.

OOC: Don't we all?
BiC:
*Black Hawk's out hunting and can hear the thingy if you want*


*Morgan and Dria wave to Curt from the kitchen where they be eatin' da food*
Dria: Morning Curt!

*David groans again.*
David: Merg please... don't get involved..
*Stops trying to get up from the ground.*

---
*Infernals start looking around for the illdari.*
*Unaware of the ambush.*

*Curt waves back as he gets closer to the kitchen*

Curt: Morning! How have you two been?

*The angry monster doesn't try to hide (Hell Blade Glavenus)*

*Dria smiles*
Dria: Good! How about you?
*Morgan yawns and drinks coffee*
*Layed out on the table infront of them is a blueprint for a suit of armor*


*Black Hawk decides the best thing to do is find out what's making the noise before running like hell*
*Goes to find out what's making the noise*


*Merg looks at David*
Mergoux: No David, I'm not backing down from this.
*She looks at the Illidari*
Mergoux: Let. Him. Go.

*Maria and Marla exit barracks talking rapidly in Martian after searching thr place*

*Maria supports her sister slightly and sit by the repressors talking*

...

*marinalia heads out and waves over to Morgan , Curt, Dira, M's and such*
*heads to kitchen*
Hey. Morning you's .
*makes self a coffee and starts frying up some bacon, sausages, and eggs which smells rather good*

I2: You are in no position to make orders, mortal.
*He pushes down on David's back a bit more to make the point*

~

*The other Illidari drops from a tree branch, and lands on one of the Infernal's shoulders*
*Slashes at its neck, then jumps off, and moves to the others, slashing and dodging where he can*
*He's really outmatched lol*

*Merg pukks out her sword from her bag*
Merg: Let him go! What has he done to you that you attack him!
*Although awre that anything capable taking down David would absolutely destoy her, she still looks defiantly at the Illidari*
*Her sword trembles in her grasp, and she sways slightly, barely able to stand and grits her teeth*


*M&D Wave*

*Curt smiles as he walks into the kitchen*

Curt: I'm alright. Not used to being in one place for so long.

*The HBG stomps around looking for a meal*

*marinalia relaxed and finishes her breakfast making one rather good breakfast cob adding abit of honey and wine and to sausages , then frying thr eggs last so extra flavour*
(it works... )

There's no limit to how long you can stay. Enjoy it while you can.
And I'm parked next door. Don,t worry Il be careful!

*smiles over to Morgan n Dira*
Morgan Morning. *jokes sits down to eat*

Miss anything while I was away Dira?

*David gets pressed down, and groans in pain.*

---
*Infernals keep up the assault for a bit, but the magic holding them in the world finally dissipates.*
*They all make a final high pitched screech, then crumble into a mound of rubble.*

*Black Hawk peeks from some bushes at the Monster, makes a mental note of what it looks like in case someone can identify it and turns to run like hell back to the room*


*Morgan nods and yawns again*
Morgan: Morning I guess.. Been up all night, not going to be up much longer.


*Dria smiles but shakes her head*
Dria: No, nothing really. How was your trip?

*Curt eats an apple and takes a seat*

*The Illidari gets buried in the rubble, doesn't die, but passes out from all of rubble hitting him*

~

*Illidari 2 sighs, and steps off David, then towards Merg*
I2: I didn't want to do this.

~

*Gandrea and Elise finally get to David while the Illidari is distracted, but Elise stays away from David*
*Gandrea kneels beside him, and pats him on the head*

*marinalia*
And you drove back.
No wonder your tired.

*turns to Dira*
Umm... Well it was good, even if Morgan managed to nearly start a fight, offend a Prostitute, and then I ended up with us stuck out at a old lakeside estate over night...
*misses out reason why *

It was fun though. Nice to get some fresh air.

...

*Maria waves and grabs a pair of mugs of hot chocolate before going back over to her sister*
*Maria wondering if thr family relationships with anyone can go without endless peril and various drama*

*Morgan facepalms*
Morgan: Did you have to mention the-
Dria: He offended a what!?
*Dria is half shocked, half trying to hold back a fit of laughter*


*Mergoux still holds her sword poised but is shaking with tiredness*
Mergoux: Then why... did you?

*marinalia*
Sorry... Cans open now... *smiles slightlty* *gives him a I did not say the other bit look for a split second *

We passed a brothal.. He said no so effectively she was offended.
Its not that bad...

I'm sure everyone's done somthibf stranger.

*finsihes meal*


Ooc I gotta go be busy.

Night you two, and curt of course.
Sleep Morgan!
*kisses them both on cheek friendlyly and heads off to the fenris running route*

*Curt is happy to be around people*

*He isn't used to people not shooting at him*

*The HBG continues to stomp around in the forest*

*Dria howls with laughter as Morgan grumbles*
*Both wave Maril goodnight as Dria leans heavily on the table, still giggling madly*
*Morgan looks for a topic change and looks to Curt*
Morgan: Is that your Bugatti in the garage?

*The Illidari looks down at David, and shakes his head*
I2: Him, I wanted dead. You, I did not.
*Lunges at Merg, and does a series of very hard to see attacks due to his speed and strength*

*Curt smiles and nods to Morgan*

Curt: Indeed it is.

*Despite her wounded exhausted state, Mergoux manages to block and parry for a good 10 seconds before crying out in pain and falling as a blow connects*
*Crumples to the ground unconscious and bleeding once more at the very least from re-opened wounds if not new ones*



*Morgan grin, talks cars for a bit then goes to bed*


*Dria goes to her room to sleep too*

*Voskrinod had shaken his head*
V: Not sure what it was, but it smelled like rot. I don't know what else would have caused this, unless the creature's allies have already left.
*starts walking towards the room*

*Man glares at Cal and spits at his feet*
Man: A shame in your house. You dishonor Maid Bilberry by not fighting for her.
*goes to walk past Cal in the search of a new challenger*

*Cal rolls his eyes*
Cal: Sure pal. Keep telling yourself that.
*Goes to bed*


*Morri nods*
Morrigan: I pity the PDF... they were good men...
*Realizes something*
Morri: Milo!
*Goes to look for Milo and NPC as needed*

*Voskrinod frowns*
V: Milo?
*watches Morri head off, and he keeps going to the room cause he doesn't know a Milo*

*Man mutters under his breath as he walks around the room*
Man: Dirty mutants, Radovid had the right idea.

*David shakes his head at the Illidari.*
David: Please wait!
*Watches Merg get thrashed, and sighs. Then turns to Gandrea, and frowns at the patting.*
David: Hi Gandrea... how are you?

*Curt waves Morgan off and stands up*

*He heads into the lounge and takes a seat*

*Sits there sipping a coffee*

*Gandrea puts her finger to David's lips to shush him, then turns to Elise*
*She gestures to the Illidari, who is walking back from the limp Merg, then at David, runs a finger along her own throat, then shakes her head*
E: ...This is a really hard charades...
*Elise frowns in thought, then thinks while the Illidari comes closer*
E: Uhh... You don't want the kind Hunter to kill the demon?
*Gandrea nods, and Elise sighs again*
E: I'll see what I can do... But no promises...
*She steps past David and Gandrea, then towards the Illidari*
E: Could you not kill him?

~

*The other Illidari is still out cold*

~

*Gandrea resumes the petting of David*

*Santiago looks over at Curt and nods*
S: Hey Curt. How's it been going? Settling in alright?

*Curt nods*

Curt: I guess. Tho to be honest I am really bored...

*Santiago smirks slightly*
S: It has been quiet around here. We do have a shooting range, if you're interested. A bar, too.

*Man looks over at Joalia, Curt, and Santiago and is weighing his odds against them*
*leaning towards challenging Curt, cause Santiago is feth-hueg, and Joalia has a sharp tail, though that also makes him want to fight her cause dirty mutant is a no bueno*

*Curt rubs his chin*

Curt: I guess I do need to make sure my aim is still good.

*He pull out his M9 and give it a spin then holsters it again*

*Santiago nods and then looks down at Joalia*
S: Want to come with?

*Man frowns at the group, not sure what Curt was waving around, or what a shooting range is*

*David manages to look up at Gandrea.*
David: ... Thank you.
*Watches her pet him for a bit, not knowing what else to say.*
David: For everything...
*Starts trying to get up again.*

*Gandrea helps David stand, then looks at Elise, who is still talking to the Illidari*
*Gandrea doesn't really pay attention to David*

~

*Joal remains on Santiago's arm like a obedient girlfriend*
*She nods, and moves herself off of Santiago*
*She chills in her wheelchair, and smiles at Santiago and Curt*

~

*Elise eventually sighs, and points to the forest*
E: Your comrade went there to lead the demons away from you. Maybe you should look for him?
I2: But he said to stay here-
E: And if he's dead? You're just going to let demons desecrate his body?
I2: ...If he is gone by the time I get back, I will take it out on you.

*David stands there awkwardly not knowing what to say.*
*He watches the exchange between Elise and the Ilidari.*

---
*Jake finishes his long ass talk with Eddie, and walks back to his room.*
*Smokes a cigarette as he walks.*

*the tank begins rumbling towards the room with one of the Sponson gunners temporarily taking over as driver*
*Milo is sitting near what's left of the barracks staring off into space*

*Curt nods and waits for Curt and Joal*

Curt: After you.

*Gandrea watches as the Illidari heads off, then Elise moves a bit closer*
E: Uhh... Come here sweety... Away from the demon that ripped my face apart...
*Gandrea looks between David and Elise*

*David looks pained by Elise's words.*
David: I... I am sorry. I wasn't myself, I hope I can make it up to you in some way.
*Turns to Gandrea, and gives her a weak smile.*
David: Go be with your friend... thanks for helping me.
*He still looks pained, but manages to stand without swaying.*

---
*Jake walks into his room, and kills his cigarette.*
*Sits on his the bed and thinks.*

*Marla runs over seeing milo in armour and hugs him*
*hugs him and refuses to let go*

*looks over that thr barracks*
Thank thr emperor.... I thought I lost you!

....

*jarl and another space wolf walk back in in carpace armour with a pair of heavy staffs they where sparring with and notice the man*

*feth huge again and covered in tribal tattos and battle honours, thr jarl with a promint lighting bolt to symbolise great crusade and emparor*

*jarl ignores human for now as both check fridge some big ass chunks of meat*

*Santiago nods and stands up*
S: Off we go then.

*Man decides to go for Joalia, cause he doesn't like mutants*
Man: Stop! I challenge thee to a duel, in the name of Maid Bilberry. Come on, mutant.
*draws his sword and points it at Joalia, and Santiago frowns*
S: Excuse me?

*Milo doesn't respond*
*just stares into space*

*Marla looks concerned and joins him on a chunk of rubble. *
Milo.... ?
Its Marla.
*pulls off a canteen attached to armour and offers a drink trying to generaly just be a decent human*
(. This ain't good)
...

*jarl shrugs and looks over if in range of kitchen sight and hearing*
Your funeral...

*other space wolf is cooking up some big as ssteaks for a fater sparring snack*

*Curt raises an eyebrow at the man*

Curt: You must be joking. She's in a wheelchair! Also a duel?

*Man points his sword at Curt*
Man: You will have your turn as well. But first, the mutant must fight for the honor of Maid Bilberry!

*Santiago raises an eyebrow*
S: Put the sword away. No one needs to get hurt.

*Man rounds on Santiago*
Man: I will not rest until Maid Bilberry is given the honor she deserves. I have already bested one of your fighters, ninety nine more must fall!

*Curt tries to hold a straight face*

Curt: Your Maid Bilberry can't be very honourable if she wants you to fight someone who's in a wheelchair. Look, pal just put the sword away.

*Puts a hand on his M9*

*Gandrea moves a bit closer to Elise, then sits on the ground half-way between Elise and David*

~

*Elise face-palms*
E: She doesn't want to choose... Guess she likes you.
*She sits next to Gandrea, and sighs*
E: So why did you do that to my face? I take it you have a demon in your body? Detheroc, I think his name was.

~

*Joal frowns, and backs up a little in her wheelchair*
*She looks confused*

~

*Denny finishes a shower she probably started a week ago, and comes out in her robe*
D: Hey. How'd the chat go?
*She steals a ciggie off Jake*

*Milo just shakes his head*
Why does the Emperor hate us Marla? Time and time again we suffer horrible casualties and what do we have to show for it? Half the Room either ignores us or hates us, and we barely get thanks for what we do. Now we've suffered near total casualties, and what do we have to show for it? We're down to me and a tank crew that has yet to arrive. What is the point of all this? We've all served the Emperor loyally and we have nothing to show for our faith. Nothing.

*Marla sighs*
Because there idiots and don,t relise what they owe you. I realised... So does Marlin and Maria. *weak but tries*

Us.. I saved half the lives here at one time or another it seems, our med bay been massacred twice... We still get blanked by some people...

Because for all the idiots it still our home.

*Milo just hangs his head*
At least the Elders gave us some respect for what we've done. Most of the rest of them are not worthy of the sacrifices that we've made. Commissar Yarrick would be disgusted by how far we have fallen.

*David walk up to Gandrea an Elise.*
David: I guess she does..
*Smiles at Gandrea for a moment, then turns to Elise.*
David: Yes... some demon lurks in my body, he was the one talking to you in that strange tongue. I'm sorry for what happened to your face, it looks better now though.

---
Jake: Hey.
*He shrugs.*
Jake: He really is who he says he is... I.. want to trust him, but I still have a nagging feeling that tells me not to.
*Swoops back his cigarette, and takes a long drag before giving it back to Denny.*
Jake: How was the shower?

*Marla*
You not fallen... You just did a very hard job. Again. And again.
PDF earned alot.
Give, they still respect you. Morri ran in when thr attack happened.

*sighs*
Come on... You need rest.
We can work out what do about thr future later...

...

*Jarl looks over watchbg thr man challenge*
Hey human. Leave her alone.
Least fight a person who can stand and face you fairly.

*Milo slowly stands up and walks toward the Repressor*
*utterly silent as he does so*

*Marla follows and looks after him like a good wife*
Maria can handle the med bay... You need my help right now.
*tries to help however not mean much and be generaly kind*

*Messages Maria who agrees and takes over medbay while Milo needs help. *
(that's alot of M names lol)

*Man gets royally pissed at Curt's comment*
Man: You dare insult Maid Bilberry?! Draw your blade, I will not tolerate your sheer ignorance.
*moves towards Curt and

*Santiago moves to be in front of Joalia*
S: Last warning.

*Man is too pissed to care about what Santiago and Jarl say*

*Gandrea looks between Elise and David, then starts drawing runes in the ground, which forces Elise to look away from them*
E: Thanks... I guess. I had to kill myself for it to fix itself.
*Gandrea's finger tears a several inche trench into the ground as she stares at Elise*
E: ...Spoiler alert?..

~

*Denny shrugs*
D: Shower-y. So you got a gut feeling? Trust it. It's always served you in the past.
*She sits down beside Jake, and takes a long drag, before ashing on the floor, and brushing it under the bed with her foot*
*She offers it to Jake cause she's nice*

~

*Joal peers at the man from behind Santiago*
*She notices Curt with a gun, and recoils slightly*

Santiago puts a hand on Joalia's shoulder*
S: It's alright, Joal.
*sighs when the man doesn't stop, and in a blur of movement Santiago has him in a chokehold. The man is dangling off the ground, and drops the sword before pulling (ineffectively) at Santiago's arm*

*Daveth wakes up with a groan, and shakes his head, which he immediately regrets*
*frowns cause he doesn't remember undressing, not that he remembers much of anything before he passed out*
D: Elise?
*looks around before going to shower*

*jarl shrugs *

I suggest you back down... This man will kill you otherwise.

This lady sounds like she is not worth one life or your own.

*draws a sword sized combat blade *
Face me if you want to face anyone in combat.

*David is confused by what Elise says, but still feels terrible about it.*
David: I'm sorry.. that you were forced to do that..
*He scratches the back of neck, then looks down at Gandrea.*
David: Is she alright?

---
*Jake nods, and leans on Denny.*
Jake: You're probably right.
*Takes the offered cigarette, and takes a long drag.*
Jake: I... may let him out of the cage, but he won't be armed.. and I'll think more on his request.

*Santiago doesn't relent until the man goes limp, and then he throws him over his shoulder*
S: Maybe a therapist can help him. For now, the medbay will work.
*stoops down and grabs the man's sword*
S: I'll drop him off, then we can go to the shooting range.
*smiles at Joalia and goes to dump the man off at the medbay. He holds onto his sword, requisitioning it for the UNSC cause he doesn't think that the man should be getting it back until things are settled.*

*Elise laughs awkwardly as Gandrea stares at her*
E: I think she's just surprised that I killed myself...
*Gandrea's jaw is ajar*

~

*Joal smiles at Santiago, then wheels herself after him*

~

*Denny tilts her head*
D: You sure? There's plenty of places he could get a gun, and plenty more people stupid enough to give him one.

*Maria looks at sabtingo in armour from earlier*
What happened to this one?

What kinda trouble, aliens.. Wars... General dumb decisions?

...

*jarl heads back after shrugging *

That was rather mercyful...
*both space wolves are stood in kicchen in carpace tearing into some enormous steaks n found some ale to relax after personal sparring*

*David also looks visibly shocked, and awkwardly coughs.*
David: Yes... that is a... extreme.
*He scratches his head in confusion, then goes over to help Merg... cause zk forgot that.*
David: Lets get you to the med bay.
*Takes Merg to the medbay and makes sure she is healed by doctors.*

---
*Jake shrugs,*
Jake: You are right.. but I have to find ways to trust him, if he goes out of line we end him.
*He sighs, and leans back on the bed.*

*Elise tries explaining herself to Gandrea, who maintains her normal silent judging demeanor*

~

*Denny sighs, and lies back with Jake*
D: Cause ending him totally went well last time.

*Mergoux stirs weakly as she's picked up*
Mergoux: Uhnn... What happened?


*Cal sees Santiago carrying the man*
Cal: Oh wonderful, did this moron try to challenge you too?

*David looks down at Merg.*
David: You got involved dummy.
*He sighs, and smiles weakly at her.*
David: Lets go get you healed.
*Keeps heading towards the medbay.*

---
*Jake sighs, and pulls himself close to Denny.*
Jake: Well... you do have a point.
*He sighs again, and holds Denny.*
Jake: Lets not worry about it for now.

*Merg nods*
Mergoux: 'Course I did... you're my friend... Couldn't let that thing kill you, not without at least trying to stop it

*Denny sighs, and moves herself closer to Jake, for hugs*
D: If you say so. Just think it over.
*She kisses his eyebrow cause she's taller than him, then starts dozing off*

*David sighs.*
David: Merg. I'm a fething monster... it makes sense for me to be treated this way.
*Finds a empty bed for her, and lays her down then calls over some doctors.*
David: I'm a danger... the thing inside me is evil... honestly think it called down those rock monsters while it was attacking my head.
*He sighs.*

---
*Jake nods, and rests his head on Denny's chest.*
Jake: I'll think over it for the next couple days... figure out what is best.
*He slowly drifts to sleep as well.*

*marinalia jogs back in from route and looks round*
Hey.. Afternoon folks.


...

*maria*
Challenge you... He,s lucky to be this intact...
I was expecting the odd broken bone.

...

*marla be good wifey*

...

*jarl and space wolf relaxed in kitchen discussing who won the sparring round in carapace armour*

*Mergoux allows docs to treat her*
Mergoux: You're not a monster, you're just... changed.
*She sighs as bandages need to be changed*
Mergoux: You're not a danger, that demon is. We just..
need to find a way to get rid of him...
*Docs change some bandages, forcing Merg to take off her shirt*
*Underneath she's still wearing undies and stuff but her tats are once more visible*
*Around each wrist is tattooed a manacle with ornate nordic style patterns leading up to 8 coins arranged in a circle on her left shoulder and a flower with 8 petals on her right*
*At her throat are two rings interlocked and below them on her collarbone is elvish writing similar to Lord of the Rings along with the pommel of a sword leading down into her cleavage*
*All these things are surrounded by swirling patterned Nordic style tats also*

*Elise and Gandrea talk(one-sided talk) for a while, then they both just stay on the ground for Gandrea to draw more runes, which is kinda making Elise uncomfortable*
*She deals with it, and stays with her new bestie*

~

*Denny is chill with Jake sleeping with his head on her chest, and dozes off after a while of thinking over some things*

*Marla texts morri to say Milo was found safe but that its been rather hard on him so she not seach endlessly*

*tells her to forget about her sword for now as kinda busy and drop it off to one of m's of she wants*

...

*marinalia shrugs as main room quiet and passes wolves greeting them and grabbing a bottle of wine and finding some bad films on the tv*

*wolves nod and both still wondering about the crazy dueling guy seeming to think he could fight a Spartan*

...

*Maria looks concerned as merg back in again and leaves it to docs as knows she more shy from previous experience*
*sat near main entrance reading a book*

*David shakes his head.*
David: Merg I have a demon-lord-thing inside of me. I'm not "changed."
*He sighs, looks over Merg for a moment, and reddens slightly.*
David: I'll speak to you later Merg... okay.. just get healed.
*Starts walking out of the Medbay.*

---
*Jake sleeps.*

*Milo quietly sits on his and Marla's bed and stares at their wedding photo*
*unconsciously rubs the wedding band under his glove*

*Curt had nodded thank you to Santi for dealing with the loony knight and headed off to bed after that*

*He is currently sleeping*

*Morri stops searching and goes to collapse into bed very tired*


*Morgan comes out of the workshop and flops on a sofa*


*Dria is sitting outside the room, painting a landscape of the treeline*


*Merg opens her mouth to argue but instead just sighs*
Mergoux: We can talk later...
*She sees him look and thinks back to what the demon said while turning away and going a little pink herself as the docs finish patching her up*
Mergoux: I'll rest for a few hours... See you later Dave.

*Marla steps out bathroom having changed out of armour into a robe as more comfortable *

*smiles slightly at picture*
It was a good day. Sorry.. You want some space?

*next to it includes a picture of the sisters with Marlin, one with there mother and a few other together photos of her and Milo*

...

*marinalia waves over with a glass of wine watching a rather bad hammer horror movie*
Hey. Managed to forgive me yet?
*smiles *

Plenty spare if you want some.

...

(jarl nods to Morgan as passes and goes back to other wolf*
*provbly first time seen in carpace both spirting impressive tribal tattos and honours visable including jarls prominent lighing tattoo from great crusade*

*Milo shakes his head and lightly tugs Marla onto his lap*
No. I just need you right now, you, your sister, and my niece are all I really have right now. I'm never going to let any of you go ever again.

*Assuming Maril is talking to Morgan he moves over to sit next to her but shakes his head*
Morgan: No, I'm alright. I don't like Wine.
*Smiles slightly*
Morgan: But I suppose you're forgiven


*Merg sleeps for a while*

*Marla lets self be pulled over and not resists at all*
You never let us go in the first place...
*detaches her augmented leg above knee and sighs in good way* *also trust as not mind being more vubrable*

*smiles slightly*
We need a photo of the 4 of us now. Family.. Unique but family.

...

*marinalia*
Suppose? *teases slightly* What's a Princess gotta do!
Thanks., I left the other bit out. Morri seemed interested earlier. Minus of course.

*sips glass*
More for me then!

*Milo smiles and kisses the top of Marla's head*
Yes. We do.
*cuddling intensifies*

*David nods.*
David: That... would be for the best.
*He goes outside, and sits.*
*Somewhat watches Gandrea write her runes, but makes sure to give Elise and her space.*

*Santiago shakes his head*
S: Aside from some light bruises, he'll be fine. Just have a psychiatrist ready when he wakes. He tried challenging people to duels.
*shrugs*
S: Just be ready when he wakes up. Thank you.
*nods as he drops the man off, and turns back to Joalia*
S: Let's go see if Curt still wants to go shooting, shall we?
*smiles as he leads Joalia off*

*Voskrinod makes his way to the kitchen to get some food*

*Marla smiles*
*jokingly* I'm the tallest one to... Sure Marlin agree, she took well to you.
*returns cuddles and generally happy she managed to get some positivity at least*
*not wearing anything under robe but not feeling cheeky and more cuddly*

..


*Maria nods*
Sure... And 100 victories does not impress a lady...

its safer his weapon somwhwte not near him right now.

*Morgan shrugs*
Morgan: Nothing. It's alright


*Dria spots David and eyes him carefully while finishing her painting*

*Santiago nods*
S: That's why I'm keeping the sword. At least for now. If he isn't a threat to anyone, he can have it back. For now, he needs help, and his sword won't give it to him.
*looks back Cal cause I missed that post*
S: He challenged Joalia, then Curt. I wasn't about to watch him get shot because of ignorance, and there's no way in hell I was going to let him stab someone. So, if you want to watch him, then it'd be appreciated.

*Cal sighs and facepalms*
Cal: Fine, I'll babysit him. Who the feth challenges someone in a wheelchair?
*He sighs then smiles slightly and claps Santiago on the shoulder*
Cal: Ah well, good to see you back. Bring him in here
*Leads him to a medbay room and preps some restraints should they be needed later*

*Santiago nods and sets the man on the bed*
*suddenly adopts a very serious tone*
S: I trust you, Cal. But I just want to make a reminder that he's here for psychological treatment, he isn't a prisoner. I don't mean any offense by that, I don't think you're sadistic in any way, but I do want to make that point clear. Even if I was handing this prisoner over to the Masterchief himself, I would say this.
*smirks slightly*
S: Now, I'll stop telling you how to do your job and let you actually do it. Thank you, Cal.

*maria*
Sure.. We got it covered... And.. Honestly.. He might safer under low level sedation...

Good job not the space wolves because they might og taken him up on it....
Not of lasted long...

...

*marinalia smiles*
I was joking...

*chats for a while and somehow manages to finsish off a bottle and slightly effects her*
*is not quite in control, holds his hand before sobre side kicks in and gets up somewhat unsure of which Marinalia to agree with*

Ummm... I'm gonna ... Rest.... Drinky...
Night....

*is slightly awkward herself and heads off to bed*

...

*Marla falls asleep cuddled and is rather a warm cuddled reminder of why he fights for room*

...

*jarl and space wolf head back to hall*

Ooc night.

*Cal nods and smiles*
Cal: Oh I know I know, but in my experience people like him don't like finding themselves waking up in strange places and tend to turn violent. You ever see the movie Thor? Classic example.
*Doesn't restrain the Man or anything, just has them out and on a table across the room*
Cal: It's just a precaution we take with people who go around challenging folks to duels. I'll make sure he's taken care of properly.
As it is, you're welcome. Let me know if there's anything I can do for Joalia as well, I'm afraid I can't do much because of her blood melting my tools, but let me know.


*Morgan doesn't object to the hand holding and is slightly awkward too*
Morgan: Right.... Night Maril.
*Goes to finish up a suit of armor*

*Santiago nods to Cal*
S: If it doesn't put too much strain on your staff, an assistant or two would be enough to keep him down. Or, if it comes to it, a taser works too.
*looks over at Maria and shakes his head*
S: For now, I would prefer we avoid sedation. If you need to do it, then do it. But you can hardly have a therapy sessions with a drugged person.
*shrugs*
S: I take full responsibility for any damage he causes.

*Voskrinod thinks about ways that he could help Joal while he eats a chicken sandwich*

*Cal nods*
Cal: I'll do just that. He'll be guarded.
*He waves away the damages stuff*
Cal: Don't worry, I pay for most of the repairs here. Now, I don't suppose I could buy you a drink and catch up?

*Santiago nods*
S: Sure, but I can pay for my own. And Joalia's, too.
*smiles down at her, then looks back at Cal*
S: Lead the way.

*Maria shrugs in armour*
If it comes to it can can keep him under control. And wel see when he wakes up.

I don,t want to have to but it seems ge safer in here than out there challenging people. There's a few who would of killed him without a thought or left him a few broken bones not taken him here.
I'm on night shift anyway. Marla needed time with Milo.

*keeps a eye on things from her office nearby and cam be npc if needed*
