*Santiago smiles at Joalia and strokes her hair*
S: Why don't we get out of the bar and go somewhere more comfortable?

*Man shakes his head*
Man: I have no need to be here. I demand that you return to me my blade. A man had dared insult my lady, I must make him repent his words.

*Daveth is left impaled against the door by Kara's staff while she holds the knife that Maiev gave her against Daveth's throat*
Eyes, ears, or tongue?

*Cal shakes his head*
Cal: No. You come here and challenge people to duels they don't want, then threaten a woman in a wheelchair. Why should I give you back your sword? So you can stab someone with it?


*Mergoux gets up, groans slightly in pain cause she can't have meds and goes to her room to put on some real clothes instead of the white hospital PJ's she's wearing*

*David sits outside, and watches Gandrea and Elise for a bit but doesn't intrude.*
*He sighs and wraps himself in his wings.*

---
*Jake wakes up, and pulls a blanket over him and Denny.*
*Watches Denny sleep (Or fake sleep) for a bit, before snuggling next to her again.*

*Joal nods, and wheels herself away from the table*
*She smiles and waits for Santiago*

~

*Denny sleeping fr, but wakes up when Jake snuggles her*
D: Mhm I am awake...

*Dria cautiously approaches David*
Dria: Uh, excuse me sir?
*Clearly wary around him*
Dria: Could I sketch you?


*Merg tries to get dressed in her normal jerkin but the heavy wool weighs on her neck wound painfully so instead she puts on a fairly normal looking tank top*
* She looks down at her tats, sighs, shrugs in a what-can-you-do manner and goes towards the kitchen for food*

*Marilania wakes up slowly and and remembers*
Oh.. Awkward... But...

*gets dressed and heads out anyway after a shower *
*heads out to kitchen and gets some food and thinks what to do*
Hey... Morning.

...

*Maria checks on the duel man noticing cal has it covered*
*talks to cal quietly*
Cal... Does this man even have a name?
Background.. ? Hard to help without knowing somthibf?

...

*Marla wakes up but not moves and remains snug in bed*

...

*barbarians on one of the rooms quiet room edges are having a tribal stlyle ritual for Furia*

*Mergoux looks over at Maril and nods once then goes back to eating*


*Cal shrugs*
Cal: We'll know in time I'm sure

*marilania nods back*
*can,t help but notice the intricate and complex tattoos*

*thinks while drinking a coffee*
Hmmm.... *decides she probbly has to*

*grabs a coffee pot, some bagels and universes most sea through reasoning and knocks on workshop f
Door*
Hello... Anyone home?

...

*Maria*
Yeah, just strange...

And I think this Lady he doing it for... If he a good egg she not deserve this one...

Duels... This guy a knight?
Some things seem familar to me...

...

*barbarian drumming grows from there fire outside one of the less used doors*
*ceremony picks up pace *

*Morgan opens the door, face streaked with soot*
Morgan: Maril! Hey! You need something?


*Cal shrugs*
Cal: Your guess is as good as mine

*Maria*

I was engaged to one...
I know a little bit. I'm guessing he a pre industrial, probbly some oath.. Or vow...

They tend to stick to those...

...

*maronalia*
I brought breakfast...
*puts tray to side*
Oh.. And answering thr question last night...
*just kisses him properly inside doorway out of sight line*

*Morgan's eyes go wide but he doesn't pull away and instead pulls Maril into a embrace*
*Finally he breaks free and looks down at Maril, beet red*
Morgan: You- Wha- I-
*Rather at a loss for words*


*Cal nods*
Cal: I know, I was there too... poor man... Your guess is probably right though


*Mergoux stands and does her dishes then goes out to the sofa and starts sharpening her knife*

*marilania looks somewhat pinker than nornal*
Well... I ...
*word exe faulty*
Ummm... Id rather live life than watch others do it...

And... I won,t tell Dira.

...

*maria*
Aye... Best guess anyway.. Era may be wrong.. But there's reason to this madness.

*waves*
I'm gonna go catch up on Marlas paperwork. She taking a few days off with Milo I think.
He had I rough.

*heads off to her office*

...

*Barbarian seem happy as drumming does down and rowdy cheers as they welcome a new clan mate to the Northern Clans*
*camp is active and they seem to have aquired a barrel of ale*

*Cal nods*
Cal: Morri said something when I woke her. I'll need to get the full story later


*Morgan chuckles slightly*
Morgan: T-that's fair enough I g-guess...
*He smiles and holds her close*
Morgan: I don't care if Dria knows, she'll probably be able to tell later anyways... we really can't lie to each other, we know when the other isn't being honest

*maria on leaving*
Short answer... Milo and few others only survivors.

They need some time off and I took her shifts.
Not know much else.

*goes to office *
...

*Marinalia smiles and is happy*
True... Il never understand that twin sense... Morri may be a tad more scary!
Plus I'm sure she,l like me... *jokingly refering with Dira section *

See you later... I gotta go to a checkup... Make sure my leg healed right.. *seems not wants to but has to*
*hugs him before leaving and not cares about soot*

Ooc night OT.

OOC: ? You leaving? Cause I'm not yet
BiC
*Morgan hugs her tightly*
Morgan: I-I'm sure it'll be fine...
*After she leaves he sits down heavily on a bench and lets out a long breath*
Morgan:...Woah...


*Cal nods and waits patiently for the Man's answer when BJ gets back*

Ooc I've gotta go.. I'm doing a work experience gig.

OOC: Ah. Sounds good man. Have fun

*Santiago smiles and follows after Joalia*

*Man keeps glaring*
Man: Because it belongs to me. Because it is my right and duty to fight for the name of Maid Bilberry.

*Cal holds up his hands in a peaceful gesture*
Cal: You can have it back, once we know you're not a threat. You can't just go around challenging everyone and attempting to stab people!


*Mergoux goes to get more rest in her room*


*Cal is either paused or NPC"d depending on what 2BJ wants*

*marinalia heads off to see Maria n check her leg at her office*
*Maria questions the soot and eventually gets a answer after a few decoys*

...

*barbarians celebrating still*

*Milo is very content to just cuddle*
*kind of messed up mentally right now*

*David frowns at Dria, then shakes his head.*
David: I rather you not... not very fond of my appearance.
*Turns back to watching Gandrea and Elise.*

---
*Jake smiles, and kisses Denny.*
Jake: Sorry to wake you...
*He moves her hair from her eye, and watches her for a long moment.*
Jake: What's on your mind?
*He snuggles, and low key gropes Denny.*

*Marla breaks cuddle a while but returns with microwaved macaroni cheese, tea, and a large box of twinkies*

*shrugs in robe*
If I went to main kitchen id have to wear clothes...
So... *smiles and hands over a junk food feast*

...

*Maria and marilania quietly talking office catching up on recent events *

*the feast begins in the Repressor*
*the tank finally rumbles to a halt outside the Room and the Commander gets out and looks around*
*walks over to the front door and knocks*

*jarl walks up to the door and opens it in power armour as normal*

Yes... What business brings you to these doors?
*notices *
You PDF related?

..

*Marla smiles and enjoy the feast*
*feels lazy n not want to leave Milo at mo anyway*
Maria handling my shifts for now. You got me.

*the commander gapes at the Jarl*
*obviously never seen a space marine before*
*looks like my avatar pic, except her hair is bound in a tight braid down her spine*
*shakes herself once*
Yes I am. Sorry for the delay, the lander had issues with the hydraulics on the landing door malfunctioning. Also, do you have a doctor here? My driver's eyes exploded on the way here for some reason.
*pauses and looks worried*
I don't know if he'll live, he lost a lot of blood...

*jarl shrugs*
Jarl Agmar. Space wolves Legion.

We have a few including lord Cal and the sisters.
There good. Roll your tank into garages. The barracks is out of action.

Med bay is over there.
*points*
Maria or Marla should be on duty.

*Elise and Gandrea hug eventually, cause they made up*
*They both get up, and finally notice David*
*Gandrea shrugs, and makes her way towards him, while Elise kinda reluctantly follows, though she's also glad to get away from the runes*

~

*Denny shrugs, and tries kissing Jake, which only results in her kissing his eye*
D: N'worries... N'nuthin... Just sleeeeepin'
*She stretches, and yawns loudly, cause she still tired*

*the commander gives the jarl a crisp salute*
Sergeant Greyfax of the 12th Praetorian Armored regiment.
*turns around and barks an order at a similarily dressed crewman in fhe tanks hatch and a third crewman with bandages over his eyes is helped out of the tank*
*the tank then slowly begins rumbling towards the garage*

*Santiago looks over at Joalia*
S: Want to get something to eat, or see if Curt wants to go shooting now?

*Man shakes his head*
Man: I can challenge any who dare question the fairness of Maid Bilberry. You insult her by denying me this.
*lunges at Cal, and they get stasis'd*

*jarl nods and returns salute more casualy as not got anything to prove*
*is noticbley of a older style though and almost out of a history pictogram*

*points to med bay*
Ask for Maria or Marla.
They see your crewman right.

...

*Maria and Marinalia in her office just off the main entrance and has lights on*

*Greyfax takes her wounded driver and walks into the med bay and knocks on the office door*

*Maria opened door to office that's rather well furnished, Family pictures, med books and a med bed n set up behind a curtain and other general stuff like a comfey sofa n a egg themed coffee set on foot stool*

Hello?
Dr Maria... Get him sat down n start explaining.

*marinalia*
Il get going.
She a good doc.
*heads put looking rather much like young Maria*
*waves and goes to head out *

*Greyfax gingerly sets the wounded driver down*
My name is Greyfax. I'm from the 12th Praetorian Armored Regiment. My crew and I were to be assigned to this place, apparently a man named Milo pulled some strings with the governor to get my tank assigned here. Well, we were delayed on the lander and on the way here my driver's eyes exploded. No warning, they just detonated in his head and I don't understand why.

*David sits thinking, and also debating on talking to Detheroc.*
*Sorta freaked out by the recent attack, considering part of him thinks he called down the infernals.*
*Looks over at Gandrea and Elise, and waves awkwardly.*

---
*Jake smiles at the kiss.*
Jake: Then lets go back to sleep, sorry for waking you.
*He watches her sleep, and thinks.*
*Falls asleep a few hours later.*

*maria sits down the driver and starts carefully removing the bandages*

Oh I know Milo. He married to my sister, Marla. Good egg. that young lady was my daughter. . That sounds strange indeed...

*examines the injury carefully. *
Should be able to augment at least one eye. Youl be able to see again.

*applies more advanced healing balms and bandaged that sooth and relive thr pain*
It Il need a day or two but I can get you seeing again soldier.
*gently places a hand on shoulder to reasure*

...

*marinalia heads put and debates a swim before heading to gym for a workout *

*Greyfax looks relieved for her driver*
He's a good man. Just got out of basic too, I didn't want to see his career ended so soon...

*maria*
It won,t be... I know what can be done and its quite alot.

*proves point by making a small mecadrite wrap round her hand*
Don,t worry. Come back in a day and Il have it ready for surgery, Il need to configure the optics but that's pretty easy.

He might be better of resting up in med bay... Barracks is not habitable right now.
You can find a room off main room, or a few above thr bar.

*Greyfax nods*
Alright.
*an orderly escorts the wounded man to a medical bay, then Greyfax slowly stands up*
Thank you for his sight.

*Gandrea and Elise reach David*
*Gandrea reaches up to pat David on the head, but can't reach*
*She pouts, then turns to Elise, who sighs loudly*
*Elise picks up Gandrea by the underarms, and lifts her up so she can pat David*
*Gandrea nods in satisfaction, and pats Elise on the head once she's put down as well*
E: ...I guess we're all her pets...
*Gandrea nods*

~

*Denny snores loudly cause she a boss*

~

*Joal shrugs, then looks at her tummy*
*She smiles shyly, then points towards the kitchen*

*maria*
Least I can do.

He in safe hands.
Relax Sgt.

*seems to have everything covered. N I'm eating now*

*David frowns at the pats.*
David: Yeah.. don't really consider myself a pet, but I am grateful for all her help.
*He smiles, and stares down at Gandrea.*
David: So what is she? She.. isn't a demon, I know that.. but she is "gifted."

*Santiago nods and wheels Joalia to the kitchen*
S: I'll make us something to eat.
*smiles as he starts making lasagna for himself and Joalia*

*Kara strides out of Daveth's room, and starts heading towards her own*
*no longer is silhouetted, but looks a lot more like a Darkspawn now (filed teeth, skin is more green than silver)

*Elise looks at Gandrea, and puts her arm around her shoulders*
E: Well, she's human. And a warlock. What's more to say?

~

*Joal smiles, and wheels herself to the fridge and pulls out some drinks*
*Gets Santiago a beer, and gets herself a orange juice*

*David frowns.*
David: What is a warlock? And why does she not speak?
*He shrugs.*
David: I know she can.. or at least is able to.

*Santiago's smile widens as he sees the beer, and sets two plates down on the table*
*kisses Joalia on the forehead before he starts to eat*

*Kara reaches her room and grabs her bag along with some other stuff*
*starts marking the room with runes and glyphs*

*smoke starts coming out from underneath Daveth's door*

*Elise frowns, then shrugs*
E: She's trained with fel. The thing that we use as our source of power. She can do it as well. No clue what type of Warlock she is though...
*She looks down at Gandrea, and frowns*
E: No clue why she doesn't talk, either...

~

*Gandrea looks up, and shrugs*

~

*Joal smiles, and eats lasagna like a cutey*
*She cute*
*Joal weally weally kewt*

*David nods, though he's full of questions he decides to keep them to himself.*
David: Hmm. She is peculiar.
*Watches Gandrea for a moment, the turns to Elise.*
David: What is your name by the way?

E: Your demon knows my real name, but you can just call me Elise.
*She smiles, then hugs Gandrea*
E: I'm going to check on Daveth. I haven't seen him since I came back.
*Gandrea nods, returns the hug, then sits back down to draw runes*
*Elise goes off to Daveth's room, and stops at the sight of the smoke*
E: ...Oh no...
*She runs at the door and shoulder-checks it to see if it breaks open*

*marinalia relaxes and lies on a sofa and watches feekibg happy with self and outs feet up*

..

*Maria in med bay office configuring a set of augmented optics and lining the lenses up correctly*

...

*Marla stays and enjoys junk food with Milo*

David: My demon? ... nice to meet you I am David.
*He then nods.*
David: Have a good one.
*Looks down at Gandrea's runes with interest.*
David: So what do these ones do?
*He says it jokingly cause he expects no response.*

*Gandrea of course doesn't respond, but stands up, and pulls David away from the rune*
*Gets about five metres away, then it explodes into green energy, making all the plant life around it die almost instantly*
*Gandrea moves back over, and sits in the now soily part of the ground, then returns to rune-drawing*

*marinalia heads off to bed and sleeps*
*sleeps peacefully though still has odd flashback from time to time. *

....

*Maria assists cal if he needs it *
ooc night folks.

*Cal was rather expecting to be jumped but gets tackled*
*He attempts to hit several pressure points that would cause a human immense pain without any real injury*


*Merg goes to the kitchen again and nods to Joal and Santiago*
*Still wearing the tank top so tats are on display*


*Dria bobs her head up and down rapidly as she nods and scampers off*

*David frowns at being pulled away, and has a look of surprise at the explosion.*
David: That's interesting.. please don't draw those around the room.
*Keeps his frown while he watches her and the forest.*

*Mergoux eats then walks outside and sees David then walks towards him*
Mergoux: Hey. Err.. How are you?
*Frowns at the circle of dead plants and stuff and folds her arms over her chest*
Mergoux: What did that? That looks like Necromancy

*Gandrea pokes her tongue out, the makes the peace sign with her hand that isn't drawing the runes*
*She's already drawn plenty of the runes along the rooms edges*

*David shrugs.*
David: I'm alright.
*He smiles at Gandrea, and waves away Merg's concern.*
David: Don't worry about her, her magic is used for good.

*Merg still frowns*
Merg: Necromancy is never used for good...
*She sighs and eases herself to the grass, wincing slightly as she sits*
Merg: What happened to the creature that was attacking you? I don't think I got a explanation after it... beat the snot out of me.

David: Well you're wrong, Merg. She helped me control the demon inside me, understand that if it wasn't for her.. He would still be in control.
*David sighs.*
David: I don't know figure they will be back for me. See what they do.

*Mergoux's frown lessens*
Mergoux: I know... I know she helped, I just wish we knew why...
*She shakes her head and sighs*
Mergoux: If they do come back I don't know what we can do. Even once I'm healed I doubt I could last 10 seconds with one...

*Gandrea is slightly confused why she's being treated like she's not there, but doesn't voice that confusion*
*She keeps drawing runes*

*David shrugs.*
David: Can't get worse.
*He sighs.*
David: I'll deal with them, not you. We aren't gonna fight em either.

*Mergoux frowns*
Mergoux: It can always get worse.
*Goes to argue then stops herself*
Mergoux: Fine. You deal with them.
*She looks at Gandrea*
Mergoux: Is that all you do? Carve runes? Why?

*Gandrea doesn't respond until she finishes the rune she's working on, which is a good five minute wait*
*She then writes 'Practice' in the soil, smiles crazily up at Merg, then goes back to drawing runes*
*She, on occasion, completely erases a rune quickly, looks around, then goes back to drawing*

~

*The gak Illidari is searching for the OG Illidari*
*OG Illidari is still out cold underneath the rubble*

*Merg nods*
Merg: Practice for what?
*Looks over the runes but don't know gak about 'em cause they probs ain't like anything she's seen before*

*Gandrea finishes her rune again, the writes 'Practice maked perfect' in the soil, then goes back to rune-drawing*

*Mergoux shrugs*
Mergoux: Fair enough.
*Shifts slightly and watches Gandrea write out of boredom*


*Gharn comes out of the woods and heads towards the room, trying and failing to whistle*

*Maria heads out the med bay and goes for a coffee and some food in main kitchen*

Morning. Anyone

...

*marilania showers and heads out after a bit and waves*
Hey!

*Maria waves back and both stood in kitchen chatting and Marilania manages to guess the guardsmen uniform as they are very distinctive from a old campaign book of regiments*

...

*one of barbarians leaves thoeth a note and confirms thr child*
*Furia keeping warm by fire with baby and clan extremely defensive of her*

*Dria waves from where she's sitting with Gharn on a sofa*
Dria: Morning!


*Cal still wrasslin' with the knight dude*


*Morri yawns, stretches and rolls out of bed*


*Mergoux sits outside watching Gandrea and wishing she was healed so she could do something more interesting*


*Morgan asleep in his room*


*Quetz flies over the forest lazily*


*Thoth rises and sees the note then quickly begins to stride out to the Barbarian's camp*

*Maria smiles*
Morning honorary neice Dira, and Gharn.
You two doing ok?

*marilania waves over to Dira guessing she not know yet unless got some twinsense psi thought link she cannot quite say is impossible *
Morning. *raises a pot*
Coffee wanted at the sofa relams?

...

*barbarians are gathered round a larger fire and out in the open as a good day outside one of the lesser used doors*
*few out hunting but the main camp has bulk of the clan*
*general mood is good*

*Dria shakes her head*
Dria: No thanks, I'm fine.
Gharn: Coffee makes me- What was that word?
Dira: Jittery!
Gharn: Ah yes, "Jittery" so no. I'm fine thank you.



*Thoth walks outside the main door, looks around, makes a mental note to find out what Gandrea is doing later and learn more about Merg and David then looks out other doors finally finding the Barbarians*
Thoth: Ah... Excellent.
*He approaches them, his tall skinny frame casting a long narrow shadow over Furia*
Thoth: I received your note. Show me.

*Maria teases slightly *
Novices. Your not a DR till you shake without it.
*Maria expression makes it seem friendly *

*marilania*
Ok, more for me!
I guess Morgan sleeping off his about 20 hour forging montage. First time he slept since we got back...

...

*furia walks over shadowed by two larger sons of nonac*
Aye. Strong child. Eyes of a fated hunter and warrior...
*small child wrapped in softest furs with signs it has makings of a strong man or woman with eyes that seem to almost glow faintly*

*Thoth sits on the ground to half his height and holds out a hand*
Thoth: I would like to hold it. Is it a male or female?


*Dria shrugs and grins*
Dria: I drink it because it's hot and I like the taste.
*She nods to Maril*
Dria: Probably. He should get up soon, he's been asleep a good 8 hours, that's 4 more than we need generally.

*furia hands over bundle in furs carefully and keeps a very close eye on him and baby*

Daughter... Be strong woman.
*daughter looks up at thoeth with apprehension as he seems strange compared to mother*

*Two bulky sons are on alert in general anyway and pretty clear the clan is protective of its smallest kin*
...

*maria laughs*
, you don,t wanna see me minus caffine for a day pr two!
And Gharn, nice not to see you in med bay... *means in a good way*

*marinalia*
Aye... I forget your not human at times.
Though technically I'm a Martian so!

*Thoth examines the baby*
Thoth: Interesting... Seemingly more reactive to light than a human infant, yet not quite as receptive as a Elder infant...
Hello little one
*Smiles eerily and clicks his beak at the baby*


*Dria smiles at Maril and flashes her teeth*
Dria: Nope, we're very different.


*Gharn frowns, not getting the joke*
Gharn: What's that supposed to mean?

*baby seems to have a sense this figure is something related from elder genes I guess*
*still unsure as heavily reliant on mother though*

*eyes yes to fully define colour and seem to still be a mix of them as half elder part taking time to kick in in that regard*

*Furia watches very carefully as mother bear instincts running high as so young*

...

*maria*
I mean you where hurt too many times to be good Gharn...
Id rather not see you in med bay hurt.

*marinalia*
Yeah yeah. .. Though.
*pulls a baking tray of pan o chockat out bare handed*
I still have my tricks.

*Dria nods*
Dria: Fair enough!

*Gharn nods*
Gharn: Oh, nevermind then. Thank you.


*Thoth cradles the baby slightly then looks at Furia*
Thoth: Excellent, most excellent. Have you named her?

*Furia*
No... It a custom to wait few days.
Name reflects the soul and spirit more.

Names carry meaning..
*baby starts to clam down and falls back to sleep again*
*Furia gestures quietly to hand back over and Barbarians seem to trust thoeth slightly more as baby not scream holding her*

...

*Marilania*
There's some spare breakfast bits for you two and Morgan.
I'm just off for a run. Tell m... *forgets it and turns instead*

*grabs a pan choclat and heads out jogging joined by Fluffy*

...

*Maria waves and chats later heading to finish up thr guardsmens augments *

Ooc last day this week of volunteer. Clear Thurs, busy Friday morning.

*Dria nods*
Dria: I ate a while ago.
*She frowns slightly*
Dria: Tell M? Oookaaay...


*Thoth nods and hands back the baby*
Thoth: I shall perhaps think of possible names to give her. For now I have other things to attend to. Keep her safe.
*Stands back up and walks towards Merg, David and Gandrea*
*Merg gets up, nods to David and Ganny then heads to the bar*

*marinalia jogs back in after a few hours and heads back to her room to rest for a shower, n sort out some boxes*
*fluffy follows her and not much help but likes lazing on her large rug and non judgemental about het book colection*

...

*Maria finsiahes up on augments now set up right and all lined up with right focus lenses*

*Milo puts on his armor and helmet, and puts his resp mask on*
*settles down on the roof and silently begins scanning the forest with his rifle*

*Santiago has been eating with Joalia like a champ*
*enjoys her cuteness*

*the door opens as Elise shoulders into it*
*inside Daveth's room, fire is spreading across the walls, and Daveth lays in the middle of the room. One hand is impaled to the ground, and his face is covered in blood*

*Man immediately falls backwards at the pressure points, and gasps*
Man: Dirty mutant!

*Cal shakes his head*
Cal: Hardly. I already told you human, I'm not a mutant.
*Rubs his throat gingerly*
Cal: Now, can you behave or am I going to have to sedate you?

*Man glares at Cal*
Man: You deserve nothing but the stake and the pyre. But if you admit that none come close to the fairness of Maid Bilberry, I will not have to duel you.

*Cal rolls his eyes then starts to get angry as his aura flares around him, glowing white with the scent of heavy cleaning chemicals*
Cal: Enough human! I will not proclaim your Maid the fairest, certainly not without seeing her myself! As for you, you racist arrogant piece of human waste, give me one reason why I shouldn't literally have you kicked out and barred from returning when all you do is attack people?!

*Maria heads over hearing the trouble*

Cal you need help?
I can ask the wolves if you need help keeping him in line.

*to man*
Now are you gonna calm down... Because we will have restrict your freedoms.. If you behave we can be more flexible.

Your choice.

...

*marinalia sorting stuff with radio on in her bedroom and sat cleaning a rather sleek rifle with various bits of brass work and cooling vents etc built into the design from a slightly dusty foam lined case*

*Man keeps glaring*
Man: I came here looking for challengers.
*turns to face Maria*
Man: You have no control over me. I demand that you release me, I have no wish to spend my days with mutants, and... and consorts of mutants.

*Maria*

If you are a danger to people. Which a mad obsession with dueling is... Nope. Until cal agrees your safe. You ain't leaving.
Get used to it.

Who this woman you even want to kill for so badly..
What kinda woman thinks 100 lives is a good gift....

*Milo makes his way down from the roof and goes looking for Marla*
*Greyfax walks into the living room and begins heading towards the medbay to check on her wounded friend*

*Marla sat relaxing and reading on the repressor roof*
*reading some trashy romance novel that Milo probbly would want to purge with fire than read*

...

*maria*
Stood in corridor getting frustrated with the crazy guy*

...

*marinalia generally sorting out stuff and has radio on in bedroom*
*large pile of slightly tidier metal carry cases and storage cases*

*Milo glances once at the book Marla is reading*
*heavily considers burning it*

*Marla looks up from book and hugs milo*
Hey. Just was reading.

Whats up ?

...

*fluffy is lazing keeping Marinalia company and generally protective of the youngest Martian *

*Milo sighs*
Nothing really. I just wanted to make sure you were safe, after all that's happened I'm taking no chances

*Marla smiles slightly as still kinda cute*
I'm safe. Just catching up.on reading. . Its your neice who is one who had a few close calls of late.
Fluffy is looking after her abit though.

*nptices*
Don,t worry. Il be careful and I'm always prepared.
*gestures to a pistol and sword on her waist*

*Elise gasps, and runs over to Daveth, ignoring the flames for now*
*She yanks at the blade in his hand, then tries pulling him out of the room*
*She also takes a look at his face to see how fethed it is*

*Milo nods and heads back up to the roof*

*Marla waves him off*
*slightly worries but gives him space and remains reading on the tank roof *

*quickly texts him a cheesey but cute message that implies she there if needed and goes back to her book*

...

*marilania in room singing along to radio sat checking a laptop*
*fluffy gives her a look but just lies on rug contently staying nearby*

*Daveth turns to look at Elise as he gets carried along*
*both ears are cut clean off, one eye is completely swollen shut*

*Man shakes his head again*
Man: I'm leaving. You have no authority over me, I am a Redanian citizen.
*trues moving past Maria to get to the door*

*Maria blocks in with a arm across thr door*

Not if your gonna try and duel people... This is our home.
Last time you threatened a woman in a wheelchair.

Not gonna happen.

*David silently watches Gandrea write runes.*
*Waves goodbye to Merg, and keeps watching.*
*Has a bad feeling in his stomach for some reason.*

---
*Room that the "Guardsmen" wrote a bunch of runes in begins to glow a sickly green.*

*Man folds his arms across his chest*
Man: She is a mutant. Not a woman. And how can I challenge anything when I have no blade? You imprison me with no charge.

*marinalia shuts door and goes to bed*
Fluffy decides to stay with her overnight. *

...

*Maria is npc as required for plot in med bay *

...

*Marla heads off to bed and sleeps*
*worried for milo but gives him space*

...

Ooc night.
Should be on earlier though.
Tired. N nearly midnight.

Sorry b2j.. Me zzzzs

*Gandrea silently works on her runes, and doesn't notice anything different*

~

*Elise would notice, but she's a bit busy, so she don't*
*Elise tries to not focus on the wounds and Daveth's pain, but she doesn't have much choice, and drags him out of his room*
*She then panics, and lets the room burn*
E: Y-you stay with me!

*Daveth nods and holds onto Elise's hand with his uninjured one*
*tries saying something, but it only comes out as a garbled mess, which also reveals a fair amount of his tongue to be missing*

*Cal nods*
Cal: If you want to leave, fine, we won't stop you. We'll give you your blade and you can go and never come back. But if you want to stay here, swear on your Maid that you won't attack, threaten or hurt anyone who doesn't agree 100% to your 'challenges'


*Merg sits in the bar, drinking to drown out the pain from her injuries still healing*


*Dria and Morgan sit in the main room talking and idly playing cards*

*Gharn's off on a run*


*Morri is in her room waiting for Cal to get back and passing the time with CS:GO 9*

*David looks around confused, for some reason expecting trouble.*
*Sighs and figures it;s nothing.*

---
*The door to the room cracks open, and then closes.*
*Still glowing green and such.*

*Man shakes his head*
Man: I do not want to stay in the lair of mutants and their allies. And why should I be honor bound to you, when you dare not accept a challenge? I owe you no such promise.

*Cal nods*
Cal: Fine, then you can leave. Come.
*Goes to lead him to outside the room*
*Turns his back on him as he does*


*Merg pays her tab and heads towards the room*

*Man strides off, heading to the nearest village*
Man: feth you, mutant. And feth your house.

*Elise shakes her head, and struggles to pull Daveth up*
*She heads off to the medbay, and is panicking internally*

~

*Gandrea is chilling, and writing runes, not really noticing David*

*Cal gives the man the finger and goes back to the medbay, grumbling irritably*
*Sees Elise and Daveth and goes to help, instantly back in srsmedichlpplz mode*
Cal: This way, we'll get him patched up in here
*Leads them to a medroom*
Cal: Do you know what happened Elise?

*Daveth sits down on the bed, and uses one hand to cover the swollen half of his face*
*his eye wanders around the room, as if looking for something, and occasionally stops on Elise before wandering again*

*Cal starts cleaning Daveth's ears of blood and bandaging them up*
Cal: Daveth, can you tell me what you know?

*Daveth turns his eye to face, and opens his mouth with a wince to reveal his fethed up tongue*
*uses a hand to mimic scribbling in the air*

*Cal nods*
Cal: We can regrow that for you later, for now however...
*Grabs a clipboard from the bottom of the bed and holds it for Daveth to write on with his good hand*
Cal: You can tell me now, or after I've finished patching you up, I've stopped the bleeding and there's little chance of infection in here so it's your choice


*Mergoux goes to lie on a sofa but is stopped by Thoth*
Thoth: Ah, the Half-Elf
*Mergoux glares at him, kinda hazy*
Mergoux: Th' feth d'you want?
*Thoth clicks his beak*
Thoth: Such unwarranted hostility! I require a blood sample as well as some time to ask a few questions. You will of course be rewarded in any form of your choosing
*Mergoux glares at him and goes to lie on a sofa*
Mergoux: Feth off birdbrain.
*Lies down as Thoth frowns, annoyed*

*Daveth nods and slowly starts writing*
*writes down the words "Herald, ears, eye, tongue"*

*Cal examines the words*
Cal: Herald? And your injuries?
*Holds the clipboard back*
Cal: Who is the Herald?

*David watches Gandrea for a bit, then walks towards the room.*
*Still has a strange feeling in his stomach, but writes it off as hunger or demon related crap.*

---
*The room in which the dreadlord was in still glows green, and opens and closes for no reason.*

*Daveth nods and goes back to writing*
D: "Kara. Qunari. Might come back. Finish the job."

*Voskrinod notices the glowing room with a fethed up door, and heads to it with a frown*
V: Is there anyone in there?
*doesn't wait for a response, and tries to open the door properly to get a view inside*

*Thoth keeps pestering Merg, offering various rewards in exchange for information and a blood sample*


*Cal blinks*
Cal: Kara... Blast... Well let's get you patched up.. How did she sneak in here?

*Daveth nods again*
D: "Portal. Left the same way. Wanted revenge for old alliances with Watchman."

*David walks into the room, looking somewhat sick.*
*Notices Merg being pestered, and frowns.*
David: Is everything alright Merg?

---
*The far wall of the room that Vosk is looking in is a giant portal.*
*Three felhounds sit next to the portal, almost basking in it.*

*Merg nods, obviously at least tipsy*
Mergoux: This... bird headed feth won't leave me alone....
*Thoth sighs*
Thoth: I simply wish to learn more about your Half-Elven friend. I offered her any reward she could possibly desire, but she still refuses
Mergoux: I'm not telling you gak! Why do you even care!
*Thoth frowns*
Thoth: I am the Scribe. I must record what is unknown. You are a unknown species, or rather a unknown combination.
I must find out.
*He looks at David*
Thoth: The same goes for you. I require a blood sample and a interview after which you will be compensated in any manner of your choosing


OOC: Sorry whoops
BIC:
*Cal sighs*
Cal: Well... just focus on healing and we can deal with Kara later

*David is not amused.*
David: Leave her alone. Now.
*He walks up to Thoth, and looms over him..*
David: People just don't demand blood donations, you will leave now before I get angry.

*Thoth stands like 10ft tall but suuuper skinny*
*He cocks his head, supremely unafraid but prefers co-operation*
Thoth: The blood sample is not... necessarily needed...
*He sighs then looks between the pair*
Thoth: Very well... I shall attempt to negotiate when this one is more... sober. You make me sad
*Gestures to Mergoux and turns to leave*
*Merg glares at him and lies down on the sofa*

*Zk forgot how tall Thoth is.*
*David watches Thoth walk away, and ignores Detheroc's suggestions.*
*He then looks down a Merg, and frowns.*
David: You... okay, Merg?

*Merg nods*
Merg: Yeah.. Thanks again.
*She frowns after Thoth then looks up at David and frowns more in concern than anger*
Merg: Hey, you okay? You don't look so good.
*She sits up, wincing as she does and not using her right arm which is still in a sling*

*David shrugs.*
David: I'm alright.
*He frowns at her.*
David: You're still hurt? You should go rest in your bed, not the couch.

*Merg sighs*
Merg: I still need to clean up after... Well don't worry. I'll be fine.
*Frowns, still worried slightly over David not looking too hot*


*Thoth goes back to his room and prepares some other experiments*


*Dria walks out of her room, spots David and Mergoux and quickly strides into the kitchen*

*David tilts his head at Merg.*
David: Clean up after what?
*He sits on the opposite couch, and frowns at her.*

*Mergoux looks over*
Mergoux: The whole fight. It's still pretty... bloody in there.

*Marla heads out and waves but still glances to roof with a concerned look from time to time *
Hey.. Morning.

*has one sword as Morro still has twin and Marla had far more important things to worry about*

...

*Marinalia wakes fluffy with some fuss and gets dressed heading out with wolf a while later*

*waves cheerfully and finds fluffy some steak n bacon in the kitchen as she needs her food too*

...

*Barbarians are debating names in the Fenris hall as they moved to more sheltered places for the night*

*Elise is very worried for Daveth, and kinda worried for Kara*
*She is thinking like a mad woman*

~

*Ganny remains outside pretty happy to be alone drawing*

*Dria smiles and waves to Maril*
Dria: Morning!


*Morri gets up, and goes to find Marla to return the sword I guess*


*Cal looks over at Elise*
Cal: What do you know?


*Thoth is pondering*

*Marla relaxed and was regarding that as secondary priority *
*watches fluffy is in safe hands and fusses her wolf slightly who enjoying some meat in the kitchen and waves to morri if she enters*

...

*Marinalia*
Hey Dira!
*hugs her cheerfully bending knees slightly as slightly taller*

Just had to feed fluffy.
You drive?
I found a rather lovely ruined castle to paint about 2 hours by road when I headed out with Morgan.

I was meaning to tell you....

...

*Barbarians are still debating a name as thr child not matches many as unique and for "barbarians" have a pretty complex amount of names and aspects they represent*

*Morri returns the swords and waves to others in the kitchen*


*Dria smiles and hugs back cheerfully*
Dria: Ooh? Really? I've never driven a car... but I've done tractors, Motorcycles and ATVs

*marinalia waves over to Morri after hugging Dira*

Umm *gives directions * ruined costal castle, set on a cliff area. I never got a photo bur it looked all misty and impressive.
Humvee, tracked, ATV... I never got on with bikes. I did Shuttles.

*looks round for others as kinda more cautious since trying to be killed twice and just keeps eye on peolle*

...

*Marla slides them into place*
Thanks. They might feel abit different bur they where balenced for me.
And Milo ok... Not great but.
Thanks for looking for him. *seems genuinely thankful*

*Morri nods*
Morri: Of course

*Dria grins*
Dria: Thanks I'll go get some stuff and head out there!
*Morri catches her daughter before she runs out of the room*
Morri: Not unless someone goes with you. Morgan, or Gharn or someone

*Dria nods her understanding and goes to find Gharn*

*Marla* waves her off*
That roads fairly safe. Marilania uses it regularly.
Just abit rough in places..

Just need a good off roader.

...

*marilania waves and decides to look for Morgan*
*has not seen him for a day or two so goes looking about the room*

...

*Barbarian name debate is not getting many answers*

...

*Maria heads out repressor and is bending over a open hatch in the side checking thr engines and oil*
*seems to know what she doing*

*Morgan's in the forge trying to keep up with Horus's backlog of work*
*Mutters to himself, frustrated at how much there is*


*Morri shakes her head sternly*
Morri: That doesn't matter, I still don't want her out there alone.


*Dria looks around for Gharn*

*marla*
True... Marlin has a armoured Humvee admitly.
There's a jeep that's got light armour in the garage no one uses.
Long as Dira can drive a manual.
...

*marilania finaly has a light bulb momment and finds the forge*
*Finds Morgan*

Hey... Your hard to find...
*smiles and waves over to make sure he sees her*
Not hiding from me *laughs*

*Morgan turns off the blowtorch and looks over at Maril*
Morgan: Hey! No I've just been busy.


*Morri shakes her head*
Morri: She never learned to drive a actual car. Not yet. She'll probably take a ATV or something.

*David nods.*
David: Yeah... that makes sense.
*He sighs.*
David: You wanna sleep in my room? I haven't used the bed sense... I was human. Up to you.

*Merg hesitates briefly*
Merg: Well... if it's alright with you, then sure. Thanks. Beats a couch any day
*Nods and once more the frown vanishes but still no smile*

*marilania smiles*
We have the old workshops you know.

There's some old auto fab systems and drones*
Not fancy but does thr basic stuff.
*resists making awful pun about heat and blow torches*
*heat imunity coming in handy*
...

*Marla*
Agh, well its there... Marlin was driving it till we fixed up a old Humvee for her.

Maria insisted she have somthibf heavier.

*David nods back.*
David: No problem, Merg.
*He stands up, and stretches his wings.*
David: Well... come on let me show you where it is.

*Morri frowns*
Morri: Why's that?


*Morgan shrugs*
Morgan: Machines can't do the things I'm doing. At least not the ones you use


*Merg nods, grabs her bag and follows David*

*marla*
Maria is protective.
Back when we had more bandit issues. Thr jeep could not be fitted with a as heavy armour kit.. Its still better protection than a ATV and Humvee is a tad harder to drive. They can be prone to tip as top heavy.
...

*marinalia rests closer against Morgan because she can*
True... We need Horus back at some point Maria been moaning about the power cuts..

Dira headed out. That old castle we saw off the road.
Leaving soon of you wanted to wave em off.

*Morgan frowns with concern*
Morgan: She's not going alone is she? She should have someone go with her. Gharn, or me or someone.


*Dria is in the garage giving Gharn simple instructions on how to drive a ATV only to have him drive into the side of one of Horus's cars severely denting it*


*Morri nods*
Morri: I can understand that

*David leads Merg to his room, and opens the door for her.*
David: Here you are.
*Not really anything in Davids room besides his shotgun.*
David: If you need anything come find me.

*marilania*
Relax... Morri insisted she take you or Gharn or someone else.

Said she might take a ATV... After that she went off to find someone n some wheels.

Id consider flying her out .. If It was working.

...

*marla*
Aye.. I'm sure someone could give her a quick driving lesson if needed.
Just on the controls, how to deal with fact there bit more top heavy.

*Merg nods her thanks*
Merg: Once more, I owe you one
*Slugs his shoulder jokingly and takes her boots off, showing tats even on the tops of her feet and climbs into the bed to sleep*


*Morgan visibly relaxes*
Morgan: Oh good... So, did you want something? Or just come to hang out?


*Morri nods*
Morri: I'll take care of that in when she gets back. I think it's about time she learned

*Marilania*
Can,t I want to spend time with a friend? I thought I scared you off!
*smiles*
Things been so quiet I was getting abit lonely.
*stays and chats for a while comfetable and glad someone she can be honest round*

...

*marla*
Good luck! Learner drivers...
Aye, and mean her and Gharn can get out on own.
Jeeps far easier going long distance.

I better check on med bay.
Maria taken my shifts for days...
*waves and goes to head off*

*David shakes his head.*
David: Don't worry about it... Mergy.
*He smiles at Merg, gives her a nod, and walks outside.*
*Then watches Gandrea write her runes.*

*Nods once more, the corner of her mouth twitching ever so slightly then curls up to sleep*


*Morgan chats for a while then excuses himself to get back to work*


*Morri waves Marla off*


*Cal finishes patching up Daveth and get's NPC'd or something, do whatever you need for your plot*


*Gharn and Dria head off*

*marilania hugs him before leaving *
Don,t be a stranger.
I needed a chat

*smiles and cheekily blows as kiss before leaving*
*generally growing more confident again*

*heads off to pool*

...

*Marla works in med bay'

*Daveth gets patched up (though he got impaled by the staff, so he's not in the best condition still), and he looks over at Elise*
*he takes the clipboard again, and writes "Don't leave me here."

*Voskrinod frowns at the Felhounds and the portal, and shakes his head*
V: This cannot stand.
*summons up a fireball, and lobs it at the hounds*

*Cal looks at the clipboard*
Cal: Err... If you want I could leave you some guards... Thoth might have a golem?

*Daveth looks back at Cal, and frowns*
D: "How strong is the golem?"

*Cal shrugs*
Cal: Well... Most are solid rock. So unless Kara could smash it... Even then it's possible I could get him to make a Iron Golem which is solid Iron

*Marla leaves tank crewman to rest and get used to new eyes after giving a new set of augments and messages the SGT her trooper should be ok to leave in a few hours signing off PR, DR Marla O.

..
*waves over to cal*
Afternoon. Troopers just needs to rest.
Augments are pretty easy to get set up. Its one thing Imperials excel at.

**Marilania swimming laps in the pool and trying to get her old pace back before breaking leg*

...

*Maria enjoying some time not on duty*

*Daveth thinks for a moment*
D: "How long before one is made?"
*gets another idea while he's at it*
D: "Is there liquor?"

*Cal frowns*
Cal: Well I can go speak with him, if he agrees you should have it in a few hours.
*He frowns harder*
Cal: I wouldn't recommend alcohol... But I suppose you may have some, it certainly won't do you much worse.
*He leaves for a moment and comes back with a bottle of brandy*
Cal: This is all I have here, if you want something else then you'll have to ask a orderly or nurse. I'll make sure they know. Anything else you need?

*Daveth shakes his head as he takes the bottle*
*raises it towards Cal for a 'cheers', and takes a swig*

*Elise isn't happy that Daveth is drinking, but she stays with him either way*
*She sits next to him, and continues thinking things through*

~

*Gandrea is still drawing, but even she's getting pretty bored of it tbh*

*Cal smiles slightly*
Cal: It's good stuff. Don't drink too much though, it's pretty strong. Aged for a couple dozen years or so. Anyways, I'll go speak with Thoth. Elise, you are of course free to stay, so long as you let him rest
*Gives Elise a semi-stern look*
Cal: No shenanigans alright?

*Elise rolls her eyes, and holds Daveth's hand*
E: I'm horny, not immature.

*Morgan keeps on forging*


*Cal nods to Elise*
Cal: Alright. Just making sure.
*Goes to find Thoth and ask for a Golem*


*Scatty sits in the main room, silently thinking on things*


*Morrigan sits outside on the roof*

*Marla leaves em be and heads to her office*
I got this place covered cal.

Be fine long as things quiet.

...

*Marilania relaxes and keeps on swimming laps*
*in world of her own and not notices whatever goes on outside *

...

*Maria heads out to main room and finds a comfey spot by the tv to chill *
*waves to anyone and quietly relaxes*

*Greyfax is quietly talking to her comrade about his new augments*
*the driver is blinking rapidly and looking around the medbay room he's in*

*Milo is still obsessively scanning for threats on the roof*

*Morri looks over at Milo*
Morri: Hi Milo...


*Driver can be discharged if you want WK*

*Milo doesn't look up from his scope*
Hello Morri.
*helmet and resp mask are both on*
*tone is calm and neutral*

*Greyfax helps her driver over to their temporary quarters in the garage where their Russ is stored and then walks into the living room and looks around curiously*

*Scatty looks over at Greyfax*

*Black Hawk walks into the room, sees Scatty, Greyfax and Marla and nods to all three*


*Morri looks over*
Morri: Looking for something?

*Milo's gaze never shifts from his scope*
I'm looking for threats to my home. I let my guard down and most of my friends died. I will not make such a mistake again, not with my family's lives on the line.

*Greyfax looks back at Scatty*
*awkwardness intensifies for Greyfax*

*Scatty nods*
Scatty: Newcomer?


*Morri moves over to Milo and puts a hand on his shoulder*
Morri: This doesn't just fall on you to defend this place.

*Greyfax composes herself*
Yes I am. Sorry. My name is Greyfax, of the 12th Praetorian Armored Regiment. Me and my crew just got assigned to this location.

*Milo keeps on scanning*
It is my burden to bear. So many died because I was weak, because I failed in my duty. I will not fail again.

*Maria waves over to Greyfex saving her some awkwardness*
Hey... If your trooper takes a few days to get used to things that natural..

*is relaxed on a sofa by the tv*
Relax. Its a living room. No ranks here.

...

*Marialnia finishes up swimming but still not happy with time as slow and starts drying self off*
*broken leg still needs to fully regain strengh again *

...

*Marla keeps eye on med bay from office*

*Scatty nods*
Scatty: Scathach the Shadow. You came right as most of those here were wiped out.


*Morri shakes her head*
Morri: You're only human, you can't expect to be perfect. Just be the best you can, but don't go overboard. You can't do this alone

*Greyfax's face takes on a grim expression*
We heard about that, we'll do what we can to keep this place safe. We owe the dead that much...

*Milo keeps on scanning*
I'm not just human Morri. I'm a Tempestus Scion, we are the very best warriors that humanity has to offer in this galaxy outside of the Space Marines. It's not about being "good", we have to be the best at all times. In the Schola failure was not permitted, and I never failed

*Morri shakes her head*
Morri: We all fail, humans, Elders, demons and monsters. We all feth up from time to time. You just need to learn to move past it, and try and fix it. You're overcompensating, dwelling on it. That's not healthy


*Scatty shakes her head*
Scatty: There's things here that could kill you in a second. I hope your team is prepared for death should something come knocking.

*Daveth nods and sets the bottle aside*
*takes the clipboard again and writes "Thank you for saving me. Again."*

*Man steps out of the treeline with two guards behind him*
*all of them are equipped with swords and shields, but the guards have leather armor on, as opposed to the man's cloth jerkin*
*the trio walk towards the room, each holding their heads high*

*Milo's grip on his weapon tightens visibly*
Scions are not permitted to make mistakes. Mistakes lead to failure, and failure leads to death. Any Commissar worth his salt would have executed me for my failure.

*Greyfax's expression tightens slightly*
Death is something that every Guardsman is intimately familiar with. If it comes we shall meet it with all guns blazing

*Scatty nods*
Scatty: You'll have to. I wish you luck, you'll need it.


*Morri sighs*
Morri: And that's why I hate the fething Imperium... Look! Even Commissars fail from time to time! Failure is nothing to be afraid of! You just need to move past it, not dwell on it. Dwelling on it will only lead to more failure

*Milo goes to respond but sees the trio approaching*
*his weapon powers up with an audible whine*
We have a small group of people approaching the Room from the tree line.
*adrenaline floods his body and he begins trembling with excitement*

*Greyfax nods*
Thank you for the warning. Knowing what we'll have to deal with will be beneficial for us

*Maria*
Yes it can be dangerous. But we also have a few things to make life good.
Given barracks is out and there's only 4-5 of you. Might as well get regular rooms. Ensuites the works.

...

*Marla gets a feeling somthibf wrong as her Milo senses kick in*
*keeps eye on med bay but also phone just incase*

...

*Marilania heads out pool and waves over with damp hair from swimming*
Hey.. Welcome new person.

*Maria waves back*
Hey Marlin!

*Morri nods*
Morri: I see then, easy. Why don't we see what they want before we shoot them huh?
*Smiles encouragingly*


*Scatty nods*
Scatty: You need to know what you're up against. Other humans are the least of your worries here. Here, there be monsters

*Greyfax glances over at Maria and nods*
Thank you. We'll get settled in after we get our tank settled in. The Machine Spirit of that old girl is a bit finicky.
*nods to Maril*
Hello.
*to Scatty*
What sorts of things might we have to deal with?
*genuinely curious*

*Milo nods in assent*
Alright then.
*stands up with a grunt in full view of the approaching figures and shoulders his rifle*

*Scatty thinks for a moment*
Scatty: Well... Wizards and magic capable of killing instantly, Were creatures, demons, Aliens with tech that make Tau look like rock throwing cavemen and Bandits


*Morri nods*
Morri: You want to go down and meet them? Or I could go and signal you if something's off about them

*Greyfax nods somberly*
What a great galaxy eh? Demons and Weres.
*sighs once and then adjusts her saber on her belt*

*Milo considers for a moment*
I'll go meet them, let the others know we may have some company soon.
*heads down to meet the oncoming people*

*Maria *
Sure. .. Keys over by the kitchen for rooms.
And yeah... The Repressor can be a tad grumpy at times .

Imperial, don,t worry, combat doctor before I came here.

*Marinalia*
Hey, Marinalia of Olympus.
*smiles and sits next to Maria*
I found this pretty crazy when I first came here.

*Maria*
Its certainly a interesting place to live but I still here months later.
And a sword always handy though.
*wearing a shortsword with decorated hilt and grips and a pistol *

*Scatty shrugs*
Scatty: I guess
*Looks at Greyfax's saber*
Scatty: Nice blade


*Morrigan frowns, not wanting Milo to greet them alone cause he seems very off so she goes with him*

*Trio stops as Milo approaches, and the Man in Blue frowns*
Man: You sir! Do you believe Maid Bilberry to be the fairest?

*Milo frowns under his mask*
I've never met her, so I can't say for certain whether or not she is the "fairest". Might I enquire as to your purpose here?

*Greyfax looks down at her blade then at Scatty*
Thank you. It's a family heirloom from the Dark Age of Technology that is passed to the eldest child of every generation. Someday, assuming I don't die horribly, I'll pass it to my own child.

*Man shakes his head*
Man: That is not good enough. If you do not admit that she is the fairest of the land, I have no choice but to challenge you to a duel.
*Guards behind the man stare blankly at Milo, not looking like they really care. However, any looks at Morri are ones of distrust and contempt*

*Marlas milo senses trigger ernough to head out as wprried*
*gets directions off Maria and looks over at men and Milo/Scatty*

What's going on Boys?

...

*Maria and Marilania are chatting and invite greyfex to sit down if they want as only polite*
*Maria notices*
DAOT relic blade... Your lucky.
Those are very rare weapons.

Rather fancy weapon for a SGT if I may say so..

*Morri crosses her arms*
Morri: A duel? Hang on! Are you that jackass who tried to attack Joalia and assaulted my husband!?


*Scatty nods*
Scatty: Assuming you don't die.

*Milo grunts in irritation*
You want me to say that some lady I've never met is the fairest in the land? I have zero idea what she even looks like.
*sighs tiredly and pointedly doesn't respond to the duel request*

*Greyfax does sit down*

*Marla smiles and places a hand on Milos shoulder *
I'm afraid the fairiest is a biased question.

*sighs remebering what Maria told her*
Your the same guy....

And you brought friends.

. ..

*Maria*
Very nice sword. And rare. Your lucky yo have it.
Not the kinda thing a SGT normally carries.

*own sword glitters slightly naturally but not In a obviously look at me way*
Family blades are a responsibility

*Man nods*
Man; Maid Bilberry deserves nothing less. Now, will you accept her beauty, or will it be my blade?
*guards' eyes brighten slightly at the prospect of a fight*
*Man loosens his sword and wrinkles his lip slightly*
Man: I know not who Joalia is, but I have already been met by several mutants. This place is nothing more than a sewer for them.

*Morri glares and cracks her knuckles*
Morri: Alright witch. You want to duel? You duel me.

*Man smiles and draws his sword*
Man: Be you sorceress or nonhuman, you will die.
*guards also draw their swords, and all three move in at once towards Morri*

*Milo snorts derisively*
Sorry buddy, but I can guarantee your Maid doesn't hold a candle to my wife.
*he then raises his hotshot lasgun*
Now I suggest you turn around and head home before I burn a hole through your head and see what color your brains are.
*he curses as the men move towards Morri and moves to stand in front of her to bar their path*
*seeing Morri move he turns his attention to the main guy

*Greyfax nods somberly*
All officers in my regiment from the rank of sergeant and above are required to carry a sword, I'm lucky that I have this. This sword is a reminder of my purpose and of my family

*David watches the Gandrea for a bit, but then starts to pace in the front of the room.*

---
*One of the felhounds gets blasted back from the fireball.*
*The other three jump up, and roar at Vosk. They run at him jaws wide.*
*Vosk also feels his magic being subtly sapped.*

*Morri draws her kukri*
Morri: Milo, I'll take care of this.
*She frowns and takes a stance in a style older than Rome*
Morri: I thought a duel was one on one!
*Lashes out at the man, darting her blades out and back*

*Man smirks*
Man: They fight for honor and justice!
*all three attack at once, and the Man sloppily blocks Morri's kukri with his shield*

*Voskrinod notices the sapping of his magic, and changes his form into an earth elemental*
*lumbers towards the felhounds and swings at one*

*Marla draws one of her short swords ready just incase*
Thanks. Right answer. *smiles*

Aye... Now that's not very honrable...
*gives Milo a rather protective look*

..

*Maria*
Aye I can understand. My sword was carried by my mothers and many before her.

Though maybe not quite as old as that sabre. That one predates even the treaty of Olympus, the unification wars.

*Marinalia*
And I'm in no hurry to inherit!

*While not a fantastic warrior like Scatty or Horus, Morri can still more than hold her own against most humans*
*She uses a style meant to overwhelm the foe by the sheer number of quick darting stabs and slashes*
*She keeps switching focus, trying to keep all 3 men off balance enough for her to take out one*
*Doesn't attempt to kill, but instead maim painfully enough to put them out of the fight*
*Mentally notes she needs to hit the gym as she starts running short of breath more quickly than she should*
Morri: Real honorable! Attacking a woman in a wheelchair! Attacking another woman 3 on 1! Take that! And that! Hyah!
*She's slightly off balance as she hasn't done any real fighting since she lost her wings*

*None of the trio are very skilled, and the Man falls backwards when Morri's kukri catches him in the side*
Man: Foul witch! The blood of the loyal has been spilled, but the mutant remains in good health.
*other two keep attacking while the man takes a moment to catch his breath and complain*
*again, they're not great, but they are better than the man in blue*

*Milo has seen enough and takes a step towards the man in blue and raises his rifle*
Tell your minions to stand down before I decide to get angry.
*aiming square at blue guys forehead*

*Morri starts to pant, getting winded easier than normal*
*Her strikes slow slightly but it's easier for her cause there's only 2 now*
Morri: I. Am. NOT. A. MUTANT!
*Punctuates each word with a strike then gasps in pain as she gets a shallow cut or two*

*Man doesn't know what a lasrifle is, and glares at Milo*
Man: You insult Maid Bilberry and threaten servants of justice? Meet my blade!
*lunges at Milo with his blade*

*both men are getting pretty cut up, but keep fighting*
*their skill is noticeably less as they get injured*

*The hounds roar, and bite at Vosk though not having great effect on the rock elemental.*
*One of them jumps on Vosk back, and claws at him.*

*Milo tries putting lasbolts through both of blue man's kneecaps*
Considering you're trying to duel cripples in her name? She sounds pathetic to me.

*Man screams as he falls to the ground from the lasrounds*
Man: Sorcery! You will regret this!

*Voskrinod rumbles as he gets bit and clawed, and swings again at the Felhounds (though they're probably a lot faster than he is)*
*can't reach the Felhound on his back, and tries to do a jump smash to get it off of him*

*Marla advances on him having hit angry mode for trying to kill Milo*

Now... Umif you carry on being a idiot.
My sword my slip and you go back minus somthibf important...
I know .... Exactly ..... Where to slip...

*generaly a pissed off woman with a power sword*
*calms slightly as he not a danger so much but still icey*

Stay down... Maybe you may yet live to see her again.

*Milo puts a boot on the man's back, presses down hard, and aims his rifle at the man's head*
Stand. Down. Or I'll send you to hell screaming.

*Man grunts and tries to get up in vain*
Man: The pyre waits for the likes of you.
*seeing that the man in blue lost, both guards fall back from Morri*

*Marla is npc if needed but generally is protective of Milo and scary angry woman with a pair of power short swords *

....
*Maria and Marilania bid greyfex goodnight and head off*
*Maria heads off to bed and goes to rest sleep *

...

*Marilania heads off to bed not before leaving Morgan a plate with a few cookies on and a mug of coffee. and a note in her neat handwriting "even you need a break and a smiley face"

Ooc night.
...

*Morri looks between the guards and the blue man*
Morri: How's it feel to get you asses kicked by a bunch of mutants?

*Holds her blades ready just in case*

*Milo chuckles lightly*
Are you going to play nice or do I have to shoot you again?

*Man keeps struggling*
Man: Laugh for now, you will regret it later. So will the whores that accompany you.

*Guards sheathe their swords and shake their heads*
Guard 1: Came here for coin. Not for Ronvid's maiden.

*The hound on Vosk back is thrown off, and smashes into the wall hard.*
*They regroup and charge as one biting and clawing like mad.*
*Some of Vosk's magic is still being sapped, even in his new form.*

*Milo puts some more pressure on blue guys back*
You should be ashamed of yourself. That "whore" was beating your men three ways from Sunday all by her lonesome. I'd be careful about saying that if I was you.

*Morri's rather sensitive about that word and moves over to Blueguy and looks at Milo, a look of cold fury across her face*
Morri: Move Milo. I want to have a word with this... person

*Milo moves out of the way*
*keeps his weapon trained on blue guy*
He's all yours Morri.

*Ronvid glares at Morri*
R: Got something to say, nonhuman?

*Voskrinod rumbles again and crouches down while covering his head with his arms*
*each hit he takes causes a wall of energy to grow in front of him*

*Morri move pin Blueguy*
Morri: Alright you little human feth...
*Smacks one fist into her other palm then starts punching him in the face*
Morri: I. *Punch* Am *Punch* NOT *Punch* a *Punch* mutant! *Punch*
Morri: You come here, proclaim some bimbo the most beautiful woman in the world and challenge everyone who says otherwise!?
You go after a woman in a wheelchair, attack by husband and 'duel' me with 2 other people on your side!?

*Punches several more times then clicks her fingers to open a portal from which a giant Direcrow hops out*
*Morri looks at Horace the Direcrow and nods to Blueguy*
Morri: Horace! Eye num num!
*Horace moves over to the man, cocks his head, screeches and pecks out his right eye, gulping it down greedily with a caw of triumph*

*If Milo is shocked by what he sees he hides it really well*
*standing silently nearby*

*Ronvid screams as his eye is ripped out*
R: Fething mutant!

*Wade teleports behind the two guards with his pistols aimed at their heads*
*fires a round at them, and giggles*
DP: Actually, she's more like an alien. But y'know, call her what you want.

*Morri's mood is not improved by Wade's appearance*
*She glares at him then looks down at Ronny boy*
Morri: Now, are you going to apologize or his Horace going to have to take your nose?
*Horace looks over and chirrups questioningly*

*Ronvid keeps glaring at Morri*
R: I have nothing to apologize for. Only know that if you don't kill me, I will return for you.

*Wade yawns and looks down at Ronvid*
DP: Keep talkin'. A level twelve Witcher can kill you without a problem. So, how's it goin' sweety?

*Morri glares down at Ronvid then stands up*
Morri: I welcome the challenge. Now get out of my sight
*She glares at Wade*
Morri: Th' feth do you want?

*Milo snorts derisively at Ronvid*
Please do come back. I'd love an excuse to put you full of holes again. Do yourself a favor and never come back, you'll live longer that way

*Ronvid tries to sit up, but can't walk cause his knees got shot out*
*sits there and glares at the inhabitants of the room*

*Wade giggles and shrugs*
DP: Can't a Canadian get some screentime? It's been at least-
*does a quick count on his fingers*
DP: Two pages since I showed up. For feth sake, your bird got more air time than I did. It's a bird!

*Elise smiles, and puts a hand on Daveth's*
E: You're welcome. Just try to not get hurt again, okay?

~

*Gandrea falls asleep on the ground, cause she hasn't slept in ages*

*Daveth nods and runs a hand along Elise's back*
*mouths "how is the lady?" and pets Elise's head to help get the point across that he's talking about Ganny*

*Morri frowns at Wade and Ronvid then pats Horace on the head and un-summons him*
Morri: Sure. Whatever you say psycho.
*Rolls her eyes and turns to go back inside then spots Ganny sleeping and frowns slightly*
*She goes inside to get a blanket for her or something

*Milo glances down at Ronvid*
Word of advice buddy, never anger someone who's lived long enough to get REALLY inventive with how they hurt people.
*turns to walk away*
Oh. And if you dare show your face here again I'm going to show you just how inventive I can be with a knife.
*walks off*

*Elise shrugs*
E: She was pretty worried when I told her I died. But she's okay now. Now stop worrying about her, and worry about yourself you numnuts...
*She looks pained over what Daveth went through, but tries to not show it*

~

*Gandrea keeps sleeping, surrounded by explody runes, not that anybody in the room bar Elise and maybe Detheroc/his bro would know that they're explody*

*Morri comes back with a blanket and pauses when she sees the runes*
*She picks up a rock and tosses it onto the runes to see if something happens*

*Curt walks out of his room towards the kitchen*

*Black Hawk nods to Curt*
BH: Morning.
*Quetz floats into the kitchen, yawning tiredly*
BH: Good morning master!
*Quetz yawns and starts making a barrel of coffee*
Quetz: Good morning Black Hawk...

*Curt pauses when he sees Quetz*

Curt: (What?)

*He blinks a few times*

Curt: (If it wanted to eat me it probably would've already... It also speaks English.)

*Quetz gulps down a few liters of boiling coffee then looks at Curt curiously*
Quetz: And whom might you be?

*The rock disintegrates into ash, and the ground around and under Gandrea blackens and dies(with an explosion of green fire btw)*
*She's unaffected, and doesn't even wake up cause she's a heavy sleeper*

*Curt flinches*

Curt: Me? I. I am Curt, nice to meet you.

*He thinks about giving the talking dragon an handshake but goes against it*

*Quetz nods*
Quetz: I am Quetzalcoatl, the Rainbow Serpent. It is a pleasure to meet you.
*Bares his teeth in a smile*


*Morri's eyebrows shoot up and she sets the blanket down at the edge of the runes and slowly blacks away*

Curt: Indeed a pleasure.

*Curt is slightly spaced as he goes into the fridge and gets something to eat*

*Curt gets npc'ed*

*Marla heads in thinking to self Morri went a bit overkill as beating his face in and Milo kneecapping as ernough message*

*heads I and looks round*
Hey. Morning... I guess even if I've been up all night.

Anyone know when the local post arrives?

...

*Marilania sat up in bed and internaly confused as to somthibf so tries to distract self and checks the ore exchange prices for the day*
*tries to forget a old nightmare browsing ore prices for various grades*

...

*Maria sleeping*

...

*Barbarians decided on a name but still not entirely sure as is a greatly fated name and they superstitious of custom and respecting the ancestors and magical forces that exist*

*Thoth goes to speak with the Barbarians about names*


*Morri walks into the room, looking a bit tired and goes to wash blood off her knuckles*


*Morgan is passed out in a hammock in the forge, waiting for a alarm to go off when some metal has heated properly*


*Black Hawk and Quetz talk with Curt*

*Barbarians explain the name they chose is one they rarely use as not to offend the other worldly forces *
*Valyrea was a ainciant warrioress who wad raised by the gods to look over those loyal in the North. *
*to thoeth maybe suspersticous but also these Barbarians hide a more advanced culture than meets eye underneath*

*Furia agrees and asks if theoth has sugestions*

...

*Marla finds post and sighs that Praxtical pyromania is not Flamers weekly standard but blockade has got em stuck*
*flopped onto a sofa reading and drinking from a large mug of tea with a classic quote. "I'm a doctor not a"

...

*Marinalia curled up half in bed, half working distracting self from flashback and happy confussion*

*Thoth nods*
Thoth: Perhaps Calluna? It means Moon Child, and considering she was conceived under the Blood Moon I think it appropriate .
*He blinks and thinks back*
Thoth: As for Valyrea I have never heard of such a woman.

*Barbarians explain a tale but ending seems to have differences, one with her leaving in a rune encrusted eye, a sky chariot, a bolt of lighting and and other simplely walking off into the deserts of the east where magic and its practice is stronger *

*nods at the name and Furia agrees*
Calluna , Valyrea... Maybe both names...

*one nods*
Twin origins. Twin name.

...

*Marla reading her magazine slightly less impressed by review qaukity and thr flamer of fhr week story seems weaker.*
*hopes it improves in another issue*

*Thoth frowns, clearly against the idea*
Thoth: Hm... very well... I suppose that is acceptable.


*Morrigan walks to the kitchen and nods to those there*

*Marla waves from her reading on a sofa *
Hey.
Hopefully sir maid does not return... She cannot be fairest of course!
*smiles and goes back to her reading of a flamer themed magazine*

...

*Barbarians agree as they belive that someone's past is as important as the future*
*not that thoeth can just forget the second nam though*
*Furia generally more concerned with Calluna and baby is growing fast*

*Curt is fairly freaked out because of the fact he's talking to a dragon*

Curt: So you breath fire. That's pretty handy.

*Curt stands up having run out of things to talk about*

Curt: I'm going to go to my room for a bit. I'll see you guys later.

*He waves and heads off to his room*

*Quetz nods*
Quetz: Of course Curt, farewell.
*Chats with Morri and Black Hawk*


*Thoth examines the child*
Thoth: Well then... Calluna Valyrea it is decided.

*Gandrea sleeps like a baby*

~

*A voice enters Thoth's mind, sounding a bit raspy, but still there*
Voice: They're not going to give you the child... They're going to grow it in their own backwards society, and turn the child into a monster... Are you going to let that happen,
Scribe?

~

*The same voice enters the barbarian's minds, just ticking away at the back of their minds*
Voice: He doesn't want anything from the baby apart from it being his test subject... You'll never see the baby again if he takes it from you now...
*Very vivid images of a small girl being subjected through unspeakably horrible procedures, all overseen by Thoth enter every Barbarian's mind*

*Thoth shows no outward sign registering the voice and thinks to himself*
Thoth: (Well... What do we have here? Who would be powerful enough to break through my mental barriers?)

*Remus had followed Dria through the forest for a while before he got distracted and started eating some poor woodland creatures*

*He resumed following her scent*

*Barbarians hear voice and look round to find anything that makes sense of source*
Sorcery!

*all back up armed defensive of child and generally go to red alert. *

*Voice feths off cause apparently the dumb feth barbarians know how to distinguish their subconscious thoughts from the implanted ones*

*Dria's scent is pretty strong from where she's lying snuggled up with Gharn in a old bedroom in the castle*
*Both are fast asleep*


*Thoth frowns angrily and strides off, muttering about voices*


*Morri, Quetz and Black Hawk go to bed as do I*

*Remus finds the castle that Dria is at but he can't fit through the halls so he curls up outside and play's guard dog*

*Daveth smirks and kisses Elise's cheek*
*hopes the golem arrives shortly, and is content with resting his head on Elise's shoulder for now*

*Ronvid drags himself away from the room, which takes a long time to do*

*Kara is kneeling in front of Lusacan, with her head bowed*
The deserter still lives, Herald.

*Elise smiles at the kiss, and slowly strokes Daveth's hair*

~

*Gandrea is snoring lol*

*Marla still on sofas reading her magazine and relaxed*
*is pretty chill*
*heads off to bed and cuddles with Milo if he in repressor*
...

*Marilania still in room, working on a laptop type data slate and busy typing *
*distraction helping* *kinda stuck between wanting company and working*
*eventually goes to bed and sleeps quietly but somewhat tossing about*
...

*few Barbarians off hunting while a rest are at hall or the small market trading and negotiating buying a horse or two*

...

Ooc night. Be back on earlish morning..

*Golem arrives, breaks down the door and stands mutely at attention*
*Is neither stone nor Iron but instead made of clay*


*Morgan goes to the kitchen for food*


*Dria and Gharn lie between two sleeping bags opened up and layed out*
*Both are passed out from 'exercising'*
*Remus could maybe bust in through a window? Cause it's a castle with big 'uns?*


*Merg wakes up and rubs her eyes sleepily*

*Daveth was dozing off, and his head snaps upwards at the sight of the golem*
*studies it and nods, feeling better that there's some buffer between himself and Kara, cause he doesn't have any way to defend himself (especially after her latest visit)*

*Kara stands at the edge of the treeline, staring at the Room*
*fists clench slightly on her staff as she watches*

*Black Hawk and Billy march towards the woods*
*Billy looks tired, but better*


*Cal and Morri are making good use of the soundproofing in their room*


*Mergoux heads to the kitchen for a meal*

*Kara watches the pair march towards her general direction and hisses*
*waves her hand, causing her to go into her shadow/silhouetted form, and she leans against a tree*

*Merg gets a meal and goes to sit on the roof*
*Realizes she's forgotten to put her boots back on but shrugs it off*


*Black Hawk is too distracted with his bestie being back to notice Kara's tracks or anything and Billy's too oblivious*
*They walk past her and from what Kara can overhear they're going hunting*

*Kara closes her eyes as the pair passes her, and fights against her urge to attack them*
*waits for them to be a fair distance away before she opens a rift, which leads to her room. From there, she decides to head towards Scatty's room*

*Scatty's lying in bed resting off a gym session*


*Merg lounges on the roof, occasionally testing her arm to see how it's healing*


*Billy and Black Hawk go hunting*

*Kara uses her staff to blast the door open, and walks into Scatty's room*
K: You owe me, Scathach.

*David keeps pacing around.*

---
*Felhounds fight hard, but Vosk is a golden dragon so he eventually kills them lol.*
*Portal still open on the far wall.*

---
*Jake sleeps silently.*

*Voskrinod has some scratches on his limbs, and I'm gonna assume that they drained a fair amount of his magic before Papa Vosk layed down the hurt*
*he strides over to the portal and changes back to his human form, and winces slightly as he wounds start bleeding*
V: Creasa thaessa voe'rle. Velöe.

*Scatty leaps to her feet and draws her swords*
Scatty: Kara! Why are you here?!
*Glares less at her and more at what she believes to be possessing her*


*Merg lies back on the roof, starting up at the clouds*

*Kara levels her staff at Scatty, and tilts her head up for Scatty to see the scar running down her throat*
K: You returned to the cave. Lusacan... we didn't like that.

*Scatty snarls*
Scatty: Lucasan, or you, or whoever killed my sister!
*Barely able to hold back from launching herself at Kara*

*Kara stares blankly at Scatty*
K: Aoife marked the dusk.
*ring appears around Kara, though it's not as dense as it was in the cave, and she growls*
K: The cave is not for your eyes.

*The portal crackles in response, and a booming voice laughs back.*
*Voice speaks in a strange language before closing the portal.*

---
*Guardsmen steps from the treeline, and walks towards David.*

*Scatty snarls again*
Scatty: Marked the dust?! What's that supposed to mean you demon!?

*Kara's eyes light up slightly (literally, they're glowing green)*
K: With my Blight comes the Night. Your sister's blood is the start.
*Kara smiles, revealing her filed teeth*
K: You should see it as an honor.

*Voskrinod takes a step back, and his eyes dart around the room*
V: That was no Aen Elle portal.
*summons up a fireball, and starts covering the room in fire cause he doesn't trust that it's purified yet*

*Scatty howls in rage*
Scatty: HONORED!? YOU MURDERED HER!
*She launches herself at Kara, screaming in fury*

*Silver streams of energy fire from Kara's staff at Scatty, and start draining her of energy*
*Kara's eyes brighten further, and she keeps smiling*
K: A scar for a scar, Shadow.

*Scatty staggers, eyes going wide and she gasps as she's drained*
*She struggles forwards, still trying to slash at Kara*

*Guardsmen purposely runs into David as he paces.*
David: Er? Excuse me.
Guardsmen: No, excuse me!
*He walks past towards the room smiling.*
*David frowns, but shrugs it off as nothing.*

---
*The rooms bursts into flames and such.*

*Elise shrugs at the golem*
E: If you wanted protection, I ciulda called in a favour to get something better.

~

*Ganny still sleeping*

~

*Same with Denny*

*Gharn wakes up before Dria, looks outside and jumps as he sees Remus then closes his eyes and sighs*


*Billy and Black Hawk go hunting*


*Mergoux gets up and walks back down into the main room then starts towards the gym*

*Daveth nods and shrugs*
*grabs the bottle and tilts it towards Elise, while having a questioning look in his eyes*

*Kara gets slashed across the stomach and growls*
*blasts Scatty backwards point blank (out of the ring)*

*Voskrinod makes sure the fire is contained, and exits the room before he slow roasts himself*

*Remus gets up and starts stomping around in front of the castle*

*He stops every now and then to look around*

*Scatty gets knocked back and hits her bedframe, snapping one of the supports for the second bunk before slumping to the ground, weakened and in pain*


*Dria mumbles*
Dria: Wussgoinon...?
*Sits up, rubs her eyes and looks out the window to see Remus*
Dria: Remus!? He followed us!
*Gharn nods silently and hands Dria her clothes which she slips on and runs out to meet Remus as Gharn stumbles around, trying to pull his head through the sleeve of his shirt tiredly*
*Dria runs over to Remus and hugs his snout*
Dria: Remus! You followed us! Good boy!

*Remus purrs (probably sounds more like a low rumbling sound)*

*He gently nuzzles her*

*Elise smiles, rolls her eyes, then accepts the bottle*
E: Thanks.
*She takes a small sip, doesn't like the taste, then hands it back to Daveth*
E: Just tell me when you want to leave, okay?

*Kara moves towards Scatty, blood spilling from her wound*
K: The sister was stronger.

*Daveth takes the bottle again and nods*
*goes back to resting his head on Elise's shoulder, and hopes that the golem will be enough*

*Scatty shouts and stumbles to her feet then lashes out clumsily with her nunchaku, her swords having been knocked from her grasp*
Scatty: Don't you speak about her!
*Slow from being drained but even then she's still pretty fast*


*Golem stands still, black eyes of reflective obsidian staring blankly ahead*


*Dria smiles*
Dria: Did you follow me just for pats? I don't have any food for you...
*Gharn comes out, blinking from the sun and walks over to Dria and Remus*

*Remus nuzzles Dria more*

*He tries to hide a dead animal corpse by brushing dirt over it with his tail*

*David finally sits on the ground in front of the room looking tired.*
*He gradually falls asleep.*

---
*Guardsmen walks inside the room, and sniffs the air.*
*He smiles, and sits on the couch.*
