*Thaddeus picks up Rachel easily and holds her.*
Thaddues: Please don't cry, Little lady..
*Thaddeus strokes her hair and comforts her.*
Thaddeus: I should have come for you..I am sorey I couldn't save you, Rachel... I'm here now. Im not going anywhere...
*Thaddeus holds her tightly and feels sleep over coming him. He fights the urge to take Rachel into a kiss... or even more. He fights the urge knowing he is intoxicated *

*Rachel looks up at Thaddeus, and nods.*
Rachel: O-okay... Senpai..
*She wipes away her tears, and smiles at the loving strokes to her hair.*
Rachel: Your not going anywhere...
*Repeats what Thaddeus says for her own benefit, before nuzzling his chest, and wrapping her arms around his chest.*
Rachel: I love you, Sen- ... Thaddeus.

*Thaddeus leans in and smirks slightly. He blows on Rachel's ear just to tease her and he cuddles her. Truly unaware of how touchy he was becoming*
Thaddeus: Sleep, little one... I am here to protect you now.
*He rests while holding her protectively*
Thaddeus: And I love you very much, Rachel..

*Rachel shivers happily from the blowing, and returns the cuddles.*
Rachel: I'm safe... Goodnight, Thaddeus.
*She pulls herself up to his eye level, stares into his eyes for a moment then kisses his cheek.*
*Rachel then rests her head on Thaddeus shoulder, and watches him for a bit before falling to sleep.*

*Billy blinks at Zoey*
Billy:...Bored? You're shooting up bandits in an abandoned hotel to rescue a teammate on a unfamiliar planet! What would it take you t'get unbored?! A fight with the devil himself!?

*Thaddeus smiles and falls asleep with Rachel in hir strong arms*

*Wade giggles*
DP: Probably some covenant. Spartan III's got a big grudge with the fethers. And don't act like that, Z. You barely know me.

*Rach sleeps happily in Senpai's arms.*

---
*Zoey sighs.*
Zoey: I was bored at the room, idiots.
*She frowns at Deadpool.*
Zoey: I know you talk to inanimate objects... so that's all I need to know.

*Elise eventually looks at Daveth, then smiles a bit awkwardly considering she's sitting on Gandrea's lap, who is loving every second of it*
E: Something's coming, so we thought we'd be safer in here.
*She smiles a bit less awkwardly, and motions for Daveth to join her on the chair*

~

*The thing that was going to the room reaches the front door, and forms in the shape of a misshapen silhouette of a humanoid*
*It outstretches its arms, and a tirade of darkness erupts from its arms, quickly moving all around the room, encasing the entire complex in darkness*
*The sky darkens, then eventually fades as the darkness cuts off the sun from the room, and the thing laughs, reverberating throughout the entire room, coming from the shadows*

~

*Illidan looks at the darkness, swears, then flies into the room, and up as high as he can, then speaks with as much authority and presence as he can*
I: Listen mortals! There are forces here that you will not be able to defeat alone, muster your forces, and meet me in the meeting area!
*He drops from the sky, and lands in the middle of the living room, splintering the table*

*Morri and Cal jump up from where they sit at the kitchen table and Cal activates his aura, trying to illuminate the surrounding area in bright white light*


*Merg squints, half-elven eyes barely able to see as she looks at Illidan*
Merg: What!?


*Morgan can't see gak*


*Scatty looks around from the darkness in the gym and starts moving out towards the main*


*Dria cries out at the sudden darkness and stays huddled in the library*

*David notices the room getting all dark.*
David: Hey, Detheroc... you know what this is about.
*Detheroc sighs.*
Detheroc: No.. maybe...Lets go... I smell him close by..

---
*Jake walks into the main room, with Eddie in tow.*
Jake: What's this all about?
Eddie: May I have a-
Jake: No.
Eddie: But you are slo-
*Jake rounds on Eddie, who only smiles back.*
Jake: Eddie.. shut the feth up.

*Denny is still chilling in the gym, cause the light change isn't noticable indoors*

~

*Illidan looks around, and cracks his knuckles*
I: Something dangerous, and presumably demonic has laid siege to your home. I do not know why, I do not know how. It is strong, that is all I can sense.
*He looks around at everyone assembled, despite him being legally blind*

~

*A tendril, for lack of better word, splits from the main darkness around the room, and heads towards Detheroc*
Tendril: The realm of the seven gods is opening!
*Although it speaks in a weird ass language that would murder-feth most humans, Detheroc should understand it, and live through it*

*If the light change isn't noticeable then Dria and Morgan still chillax cause they don't know what's going on and Scatty stays in the gym, focusing more on acrobatics and agility training instead of strength*


*Mergoux nods, pulls out a breastplate and hastily puts it on along with some greaves*
Mergoux: Alright. What do we do?


*Morri and Cal hear Illidan's yell and come into the main room*
Morri: What's going on?

*David eyes widen slightly at hearing the demonic talk, his mind jars, and he passes out. Detheroc smoothly takes control of the body.*
Detheroc(In a crude rendition of the language cause his vocal cords can only do so much): These souls are claimed for the burning legion, and Sargeras! Your presence will no be tolerated!
*Detheroc already starts to get ready to run, cause dreadlords are bitches at heart... and he feels he is way outmatched here.*

---

*Jake looks around for Denny, frowns, and starts walking to the gym.*
*Eddie silently follows.*
Jake: Den something's up!
Eddie: "Den" ... how adorable.
Jake: Shut up.

I: Everyone that is able, bare arms. Everyone else, stay in shelter. I cannot contact my forces on the other side of the darkness, we are on our own.
*As if on cue, shadows drip from the darkness-ceiling above the roof, and splash on the actual rooms roof*
*The shadows form into figures, and start attacking the roof to get inside*
I: I would recommend you hurry.

~

*Denny looks at Jake from where she's doing some super heavy weights, then rolls her eyes at Eddie*
D: Seems like the cat decided to drag itself out of its shithole. What's up Jake?

~

*The tendril hits the ground in front of Detheroc, and forms into a horned humanoid form, not incased by shadows any longer*
*It stands kinda tall, like 9-10 feet, and has very red skin, along with a giant hammer about half its length*
Horned thing: Then they will have to fight for a dead world...
*With that, it swings its hammer at Detheroc*

*Scatty looks over but listens silently*


*Morri and Cal exchange glances*
Morri: The twins!
Cal: I'll go, you stay and help... This person and Mergoux.
*Gestures to Illidan*
*Morri nods and reaches for her swords as Merg pulls out a leather chestplate and goes to toss it to Morri who shakes her head*
Morri: I've got my own
*Her aura shimmers and dark gray, almost black leather armor forms over her body*
*Mergoux looks impressed*

*Cal goes to find his children, finding Morgan first and they begin to search for Dria*

*Illidan isn't impressed whatsoever, cause he's seen 10 year olds do cooler things*
I: Focus. Think. Are there any others that could help us?

~

*The shadows on the roof continue hammering at it*

*Daveth nods and takes the offered seat*
*glances at the golem, then smiles at Elise and Gandrea*

*Wade frowns*
DP: You do not talk to Bea and Arthur like that. I don't care who you are.

*A booming voice rings out from the armory door*
Horus: Help with what?
*The huge Elder stands in the doorway with Iris at his side having just returned through the magic mirror*

*Morri grins*
Morri: I think we've found our man...

*Horus frowns*
Horus: What's going on?
*Morri explains what she knows and Horus sighs*
Horus: 2 minutes back and already into the fray...

*Morri nods and quickly walks off to find Scatty cause she knows she can help*


*Golem hasn't moved since it was assigned to Daveth*

*Illidan rolls his eyes, and draws his glaive*
I: Considering we will all be dying soon, I believe an exchange of names is in order. Illidan Stormrage, Lord of Outland.
*He looks up as the roof starts caving in at the sheer weight of the shadows above*

~

*A few shadows go through the cracks in the roof, and land on the ground as splotches of darkness*
*They quickly take form, some into humanoid demon things, others remain in their shadow form, and scurry around the room, leaving rot and decaying floor in their path*
*One of the shadows pushes itself underneath Daveth's door, which makes Elise jump, and Gandrea spray the entire door in fire*
E: Oh gak, Daveth, pack your things, we're going to safety.
*Gandrea remains in her seated position as she continues spraying the door with fire*

*Mergoux nods*
Mergoux: That's a good idea. Mergoux
*She nods to him and Horus, not really reacting to the giant bird-headed man and the black skinned woman considering all the weird gak she's seen recently*

*Iris is black with fear*
Iris: We come back only to get attacked!?
*Horus swiftly pulls her in a one armed hug against him as he looks at Illidan, remembering something Maiev told him a long time ago*
Horus: Illidan... Well, I am Horus, the Avenger. This is my wife-
*Iris quickly bobs her head in a bow to Illidan*
Iris: Iris, the Rainbow Goddess. What's attacking us?


*Morri runs into the gym and sees Scatty, Jake, Denny and Eddie*
Morri: We're under attack. Some sort of shadow creatures. Move!
*Scatty instantly drops from the tightrope she was using and follows her cousin*


*The soft clay skin of the golem hardens from the heat and begins to flake away and it moves away from the fire towards Gandrea*


*Mergoux pales slightly at the shadow's doing what they do but readies herself to fight*


*Horus summons his own light brown heavy armor and places himself between Iris and the shadows*
Horus: I would have words with you later Illidan. For now, we fight.
*Reaches into the armory and pulls out a extremely large Judge Shotgun revolver and a battleaxe*

*Gandrea continues torching the door*

~

*Illidan shrugs*
I: What they are is of no concern to me.
*He stamps down on a shadow, which dissipates for a second, then reforms around Illidan's foot*
*He kicks it away, then slices it into a couple pieces while its in the air, and it doesn't come back together*
I: At least they die.
*The more humanoid ones sway towards anything that looks living, either holding swords, hammers, or spears*
*Any and all NPC's are dying*

~

*Denny shrugs*
D: We'll hold down the fort here or something.
*She stretches, and yawns*
D: I need my armour.

*The Golem slowly walks towards Gandrea and slowly raises it's arm and brings it down towards her*


*Merg starts hacking the shadows apart, slamming aside weaponry as they try to attack her*
*She swings her sword in great sweeping arcs*


*Horus uses short, brutally efficient strikes to eradicate anything that comes close to him or Iris*
*He then sprays the shotgun at a group of shadows*


*Cal and Morgan find Dria in the library and huddle there together assuming that it's safe for now*
*Morgan passes Dria a pistol and wields a rifle himself*


*Morri and Scatty join the fight*

*Daveth's eyes widen and he lunges forwards, trying to get Ganny out of the way of the golem*

*Kara shivers slightly at the murder feth demons attacking the room, cause she can sense them from the forest*

*The demons themselves aren't the best of fighters, but there is a seemingly endless number of them*
*Laughter explodes from the shadows as the Room serves its purpose*

~

*Gandrea gets pulled away by Daveth in time to avoid the arm(she makes sure Daveth isn't in the swing range either), and looks up at the golem*
*She rolls her eyes at the obvious stupid manufacturing of the golem, then points her hand towards it, and flames it*
*While Gandrea is occupied with the golem, another shadow comes out from underneath the door, causing Elise to panic, and stomps on it like it was a spider*
*She continues stomping on it, cause it reforms kinda quickly*

~

*The ground outside of the room, around the darkness blackens, and joins the shadow wall*

*Golem is slow af so fist is pretty easily dodged but splinters the ground under it from the sheer strength*


*Horus keeps handing his gun back to Iris who reloads it while staying behind him*


*Merg fights on but begins to breathe hard*
Merg: So many...
*Keeps fighting*


*Scatty and Morri fight back to back*

*Detheroc starts running.*
*As he runs, he spits a series of insults at the hammer dude, and keeps running.*

---
*Jake nods to Denny, relieved she is okay.*
Jake: You wanna grab your armor?
*Eddie watches everything indifferently.*

*Hammer dude roars in frustration at Detheroc running, then starts walking back to the room, cause he can't shadowfy again*

~

*Denny nods, and stretches*
D: Yeah. Hold the fort while I'm gone?

~

*The horde doesn't let up, and Illidan is nowhere to be seen*

~

*All around the world the Room is on, the same thing is happening to all settlements/places where people live, and they are doing a lot worse than the room right now*
*Hordes of shadows are being spawned by the second, and are quickly overwhelming the entire world*

*One of the Marauders shouts out*

Marauder: Hey! You're supposed to fighting us! not each other!

Nomad: C'mon boys! Lets make this quick!

*The nomad starts to advance not hiding behind cover*

*Merg fights on but begins to grow weary*
*Is slowly getting backed into a corner*


*The Elders share no such weakness as they fight seemingly without tiring*
Horus: There has to be a way to stop them! Where as Illidan gone!?
*Looks around while smacking aside a demon with the flat of his axe*


*Bandits around the world are probs fighting back but might not be doing so good*

*Tiger Shaman from before on the other hand can probably hold his own pretty well with his magic skull*


*Billy frowns*
Billy: Man's got a point.
*Stands up and fires 3 shots at the nomad's head/face*

*Marilania reacts to planet wide invasion and darts awake and starts shooting anything near trying to pull on some clothes at same time*

*Maria and Marla burst in in armour and leand a hand*
*Marilania*
Gah... What kinda hell fething invasion is this...

*Maria*
I dunno... Lets just survive first. Maybe find allies...
*see fenris hall fully engaged*
Maybe other allies...

...

*Three hold a small chunk near repressors best they can*

...

*space wolves and Barbarians defend the hall with serfs as best possible *

*The horde again, doesn't let up, and Denny has to fight her way through a fair few of the demons so she can get to her room*
*She gets to her and Jake's room, then starts armouring up, which is hard cause the swarm of demons try getting in every few seconds*

~

*Skeletons wearing robes start dropping from the shadows, and instantly start casting spells at everything, while also raising skeletons from seemingly nothing*
*The booming laughter gets louder*

*Mergoux is fighting tooth and nail not to die and has already been cut several times*


*Horus sees her in danger and signals to Scatty who nods and calls out over her shoulder to Morri*
Scatty: You good if I leave you for a few moments?!
*Morri nods and they duck a spell simultaneously then Scatty's gone. Flickering through the crowds of demons and slashing them down as she runs, darting low*


*Shaman Tiger uses the last of his magic to take him and a few loyal to him into the Shadow Realms by making a gateway that closes after him, mostly cause I wanna do stuff with him yet*


*Horus reaches back for another reload only to find Iris handing him a minigun*
*He grins at her*
Horus: You've got good taste.
*Starts spraying bullets everywhere*


*Cal, Morgan and Dria are sheltered in a protective white bubble of energy temporarily keeping the demons at bay for now*


*A Man in heavy metal plate armor with a glorious red cape is fighting undead on his way unknowingly towards the room*
*Has a ear to ear grin as he cuts them down with a Blinding Battleaxe*
Man: Have at you Numbskulls! I have a bone to pick with you! Skeleton related pun! Ha haaaa!


*Thoth begins blasting his way out of his wrecked lab and towards the Barbarians with lots and lots of fire*

*M's hear Horus opening up with the mini gun and decides that might be a better place to head*

*Maria and Marlas armour shimmers with a invulnerable save aura armour"
*all three pushing to Horus and the better defended point*

*generaly with swords and expend quite abit og ammo pushing that way*
Horus! Friendly!

*marinalia armour taken damage and minor injuries but pushes on towards horus*


...

*Barbarians and space wolves are holding a defense line in the main hall with various wide ranging weapons including assult cannons, power axes, storm bolters and wide Ranging melee weapons. *

*The skeletons are pretty weak by themselves, but there is a lot of them everywhere*
*Demons, while a fair bit stronger than most humans, just as fast, and have very high damage resistance, still get cut down by the Elders and SW, but they FETH OVER the barbarians*
*The little shadow beings slide inbetween gaps in armour, including Power Armour, and eat at the wearers flesh, kinda like Rippers*
*There aint enough guns that kill them to slow the flow of demons, so they just keep coming*

~

*There is a flash of red thunder inside the Fenrisian Hall, and a tall(20ish feet) red demon walks out*
Demon: The chance for frivolities is over. Surrender your souls, mortals, and your deaths will be painless.

*Thoth keeps blasting demons and skellies with fire as he calmly strides towards the hall*
*A shield glows slightly about him, deflecting all but the most powerful of blows*
*He enters the hall and pauses when he sees the Demon*
Thoth: Pardon me, but might I have a word?


*Scatty is helping Merg fight their way towards Horus*


*The man is having a terrific time bashing undead and demons as he exits the forest infront of the room*
Man: Take that! And that!


*Horus covers the M's*

*fine, barbarians are beaten back and only furia remains with the child*

..
*space wolves keep fighting as space wokves*

...

*m's reach cal and twins libiary injuried*
*crash into room*

...

*Marinalia*
Hey... Some morning.... I wake up barely in anything to shadow monsters... *armour is battered but she,s alive*

...

*Maria*
Aye... Hey...*all 3 keep defending selves as I ain't killing em off*

*Funny, cause meta armour can only get so thick*
*The bodies don't pile up, instead they just fade into the shadows*
*Infinite horde keeps coming, attacking everything in sight*
*As time goes on, bigger demons pop up, ones that aren't chaff to illustrate how OP someone is*

~

*The big demon snatches a serf or a barbarian or something, then takes a bite out of it, removing the top half of their body*
D: Apparently the Scribe is deaf. I said the time for frivolities is over.
*With that, the demon reaches upwards, and blows the roof of the Hall, which rains demons*
D: Death comes!
*More and more unique demons pop up, each different from the next in both looks and armour/weapons*

*Thoth sighs*
Thoth: Very well. Frivolities. There shall be none I shall-
*He pauses then frowns*
Thoth: How did you know I was called the Scribe?
*Puts his hands behind his back then subtly gestures to Furia and Calluna (The child), placing a small shield over them. Only enough to block one or two blows before breaking*


*Horus has his hands full as Iris tends to a injured Mergoux*
Horus: Eat lead!
*Continues firing*


*Morgan makes a break for Maril and fam*
Dria: MORGAN NO!
*Tries to stop him but he runs out and tries shooting a demon*


*The man's demeanor is not diminished*
Man: Now where did you come from?

*Marinalia*
Armour took most of it...
It hurts but Il be ok long run. Bad time to say we might not just be friends...
*laughs slightly. *

*Smiles despite hurting as friends about at least the apocalypse*
*uses own sword to try and protect self*

...

*Maria and Marla protect selves and Marlin*

*The demon roars, and slams its fist down on Thoth*
D: I do not get distracted, Scribe! I know all!
*All around the world, big ass demons like the one in the hall are popping up, each different, but easily distinguished by the rank and file demon*

~

*One of the unique demons steps in front of the miniguns spray of bullets, and opens its hand*
*All of the bullets going in its general direction stop, then start rusting to the point of them turning to dust*
*The demon horde starts gaining*

*Horus curses*
Horus: Gak,
*Readies his axe and starts hewing demons and skellies*


*Scatty sees the unique demon and snarls at it then starts fighting her way towards it*


*Merg starts taking potshots with a rifle as it's kinda close to her crossbow but a thousand times more effective*


*Thoth frowns as his shield flickers into visibility and cracks run along it*
Thoth: Know all? Really? How did you come by this-
*Interrupts himself and sighs*
Thoth: It does not matter. If you know all then you will know what your creations have done. They have thousands of my experiments, and for that you will pay in due time. For now I must protect what is left for me.
*Backs away and bends to scoop up Furia and Calluna*


*Morgan gets hit and cause he's not wearing armor it's bad*
*He cries out, staggers slightly and clumsily guns down his attacker*

*Marilania reaches over and tries to help him best she can*
*tries to help and repay fact Morgan seems to have kept protecting her on several occasions *

...

*others do whatever required to live*

*The unique demon stands there, making sure no bullets gets close to it*
*It's hunched over with a massive robe that covers most of it, and is holding a staff in its not outstretched hand*
*Although it probably can't be seen from anyone's position, the demon horde is slowly stopping*

~

*The big bad demon roars again, and stomps after Thoth while the rest of the Hall gets overrun by demons and skeletons*

*Morgan clutches at a slash in his side and collapses back, in more pain than he's ever been in due to this being his first really serious injury*


*Dria gasps in pain as she shares it with her twin sometimes*


*Scatty darts low and slashes roughly where she thinks it's leg tendons are according to it's height*


*Thoth staggers slightly and turns, eyes now full of only one emotion. Anger*
Thoth: You have destroyed millennia of research! Now you will suffer for this... insult!
*Casts a blast of cold air with one hand while cradling the baby in the other*

*Living doesn't work like that.*
*The demons pile onto everyone, trying to overwhelm them with numbers and pointy objects*

~

*The unique demon doesn't see Scatty coming, and loses its leg completely from the attack*
*It screams a banshees scream, which stops demons in a radius around it, so they come and attack Scatty instead*

~

*The big demon roars, and puts up its hand to stave off the cold, but doesn't follow Thoth anymore cause it doesn't like the cold*

Thaddeus awakens with a jolt. A massive headache over takes him as he vaguely remembers his night of drinking. He goes to move but grunts as he realizes he is holding someone. He looks down and sees Rachel sleeping.

Thaddeus: "Ah..."

Thaddeus gently slides her into bed and tucks her in. Then he goes off to his room to take a few pills and wash up entirely. He steps into the shower and thinks heavily.

*The nomads head gets blown off by Billy's shots*

*The marauders all stop shooting for a brief moment*

Marauder: Kill em all!

*The marauders all fire at Billy trying to break his shield (probs not enough dakka to break it)*

*Curt stumbles out of his room with a massive gash on one of his arms, he blasts any baddies that get to close (but he's running out of ammo)*

*Remus is rolling around trying to get demons off of him, his face has a large cut on it and one of his wings is all torn up*

*Rachel get's pouty in her sleep at being pried from Thaddeus arms, she mumbles about something, and groans.*
Rachel: Don't leave, I'm co-
*She hears the massive fight going on out in the room, and immediately wakes up.*
Rach: S-something isn't right... Thaddy! We are in danger!
*She looks suddenly frightened, as the gravity of the situation sinks in.*

---
*Jake covers Denny, and deals lead.*
*He looks a mixture of angry, and worried at the demon horde around him.*
Jake: Den! Must go faster, must go faster!
*Eddie smiles, and actually seems to be enjoying the situation.*

---
*Zoey pops shots at the Marauders, and starts charging into melee.*
*Her sword sparks to life, and she grins savagely under her helm.*
Zoey: You should all be running...

*Marilania is does best to help Mprgan and patch his wound with bio foam as a quick fix solution *

*holds hand and generally tries to help*
*ignores any looks off Morri or cal*

...

*not killing off characters because you decided to burn the universe*

*Thoth increases the cold and throws in some hail and snow for effect*
*Winces as his shield breaks and he starts getting wounded*


*Cal is too busy slapping demons with blood runes drawn into his hands that cause their bodies to rupture*


*Scatty wasn't expecting that but goes to stab the demon as he falls only to get attacked and overwhelmed*
Morri: Scatty! Horus help her!

*Scatty goes down fighting as Horus rushes to aide her, Morri and Mergoux taking up defense of Iris*


*Billy freaks out slightly then sees his shield absorbing the damage*
Billy: Heyyy... Me likey.
*Grins and pops some shots off*

*Thaddeus wraps a towel around his waist as he steps out of his shower. He hears the urgency in Rachel's voice and raises an eyebrow to being called "Thaddy"*
Thaddeus: Rachel? Where are you? What is going on?
*He questions whether he was still drunk somehow*

*A few marauders duck behind cover as Billy opens fire, but one remains shooting at Zoey*

*Torgue is silently watching the battle*

*Rachel runs up to Thaddeus, and hugs him in her fright.*
Rachel: There're monsters out there! They are.. like my father! We are in danger!
*Slowly dawns on her that Thaddeus is just wearing a towel, and she shivers slightly at touching him. Rach runs a hand down Thaddeus chest, realizes what she does, and blushes.*
Rachel: You smell very good... *Dawns on her that this isn't the time.* You need to get dressed! Hurry they may try and break in soon!

---
*Zoey grabs the Marauder by the throat, and hoists him up.*
*In one fluid motion she bisects him.*
Zoey: Who's next?

---
*Brunor stays close to Tala, utilizing his crossbow, and it's magical bolts.*
*Really missing his silversword.*

---
*Jake nods to Denny, and keeps shooting with Rolands mag.*
Jake: Lets push our way there then!
Eddie: Can I have a gun then?
Jake: ... Yes.
*Eddie smiles and follows after the pair.*

*Gharn staggers from the woods, badly bloodied but moves towards Remus to help him*


*The Caped man continues beating back demons and skeletons, his armor is battered and broken and he's pretty cut up*


*Cal keeps smacking demons*


*Merg grunts in pain, staggers and falls, leaving Morri alone to protect both her and Iris*
*Iris does her best to shoot at demons with a pistol but is the worst shot imaginable*


*Scatty is getting fethed up*

*Horus fires 3 shotgun blasts into the legless demon's face then starts bashing demons off Scatty and yells at the demon*
Horus: Then we'll take as many of you as we can with us!
*Has basically resigned himself to defeat as he hasn't noticed that the influx of demons has stopped*


*Morgan is down and out for the count as Dria frantically beats back demons with her crutches then cries out as she's stabbed*


*Thoth grits his teeth in pain hoists Furia off the floor, mutters a few words and stamps the ground with a glowing foot*
*The floor ripples and the ripples turn to water as he transmutes the entire floor and ground beneath it into a 20 foot deep pool for the entire hall*
*Collapses, panting on the small pillar he left to stand on, still holding Calluna close to his chest*


*Billy grins, moves towards the marauders and fires off several rifle shots*

*Curt blows a skeleton to bits then calls out (he is in the apartment block of the room or where ever the peps live)*

Curt: Hey umm! Anyone know what the feth is going on!

*Remus Lets out a roar blasting anything in front of him away or to bits depending on their durability*

*The marauders just start yelling and shoot at Zoey trying to avenge the guy who just got shanked*

TORGUE: You boys better step up your game! This lady is making you look bad!

*Thaddeus chuckles at her movement and then takes in the words. He runs into his room and dresses quickly. *
Thaddeus: "Like your father?.. I must find a place that is safe for you..."
*Thaddeus takes Rachel's wrist and leads her into the hallway, his whips out and ready.*
Thaddeus: "Stay close by.."
*Thaddeus looks back at Rachel to get a good look at her face.*

*Billy sighs*
Billy: Fine! You want stylish kills Randy! Watch this!
*Extends the blade to his arm and leaps forwards at a guy, beheading him in one foul swoop*
Billy: How's that for ya!?
*Guts another guy and keeps shooting with his left hand*


*Black Hawk kicks open a door and looks at Curt*
*He's pretty cut up but still standing*
BH: You tell me. I got attacked by these shadowpeople. You?
*Tomahawk's a demons head in*

*Rachel looks utterly frightened, as she catches sight of the shadow deamon right as the pair flees the room.*
Rachel: We need to find a place safe for us!
*She clutches at his arm fearfully.*
Rachel: I-I won't let you fight alone!
*Rachel looks back at Thaddeus with her glowing purple eyes.*

---
*Zoey jumps to cover, and draws her M6.*
*Does a few snap shots, but waits till her shield return.*

*Marla and Maria do best to help Dira, Morgan and such and protect them*
*Marilania tries to protect Morgan who is down*

*hurt but still standing with a hand and half sword long out of ammo*

...

*try to help hold the line desite at least half being wounded*

*Nowhere is safe from the demons, so the hallways Thaddeus and Rachel are in, not that there's much of the hallway remaining*

~

*Tala growls as the demons keep coming, then looks at Brunor*
T: This is going to be very dangerous. Take a couple steps back.
*She plugs her tail into the powerpoint(just makes contact with the powerboard, not actually plugging it in), and releases all of the energy left in the generator, which isn't a lot*
*Blasts the front part of the room to pieces, and rains masonry over a small margin of the demon horde*

~

*Denny nods, and shoots as she runs, though her punches are more effective against the skeletons*
*She's still visible amongst the demons and skeletons because she's in her 7+ foot tall armour*

~

*The four-legged demon finally realizes his demon horde has stopped coming, and opens up a four-legged demon size portal for him to escape in*
Four-leggo: WE WILL RETURN!
*he goes through it, then it closes behind him*

~

*The big red demon falls into the hole that is his size, and roars*
*He reaches up out of the hole, towards Thoth, and is about to grab and squish him, then another portal opens up where the floor used to be, and takes the giant demon away, although it severs his hand, which falls back into the hole*

~

*The legless demon gets sploded*

~

*The skeletons around Remus get blown to pieces, but the demons just get knocked back, although most of them get back up to continue fighting*

~

*Illidan gets back up, and starts focusing on the skeleton sorcerers, which are making more and more skeletons as time goes on*

*Thaddeus curses at her stubbornness but agrees to find a safe spot in order to protect Rachel*
Thaddeus: Alright.. Why are these creatures here?
*Thaddeus glances around looking for a safe room but realizimg there is no safe area for him to hide Rachel *
Thaddeus: What can defeat these creatures?

*As Billy stabs the last two marauders the elevator lights up and makes a "dig" sound*

TORGUE: THAT IS BETTER! But remember! This is not a competition! You part of a team sucka!

*Curt looks over at BH*

Curt: I have no idea... Here take this.

*Curt holds out a AK47 for BH*

Curt: You know how to use a gun?

*Curt shoots a few of the little shadow fethers*

*Remus throws himself forwards onto any demons in front of his but his body is covered in slashes and burn marks*

*The caped man leaps to Remus's aid, assuming that anything killing Undead is on his side*

*Gharn also tears away at the demons*


*Black Hawk takes the gun and nods*
BH: Thanks.
*He rolls his eyes*
BH: I lived through the 1800 on the frontier. I know how to use a gun.
*Demonstrates this by gunning down some demons*


*Horus tries to save Scatty*


*Thoth slowly sits up, groaning and breathing hard*
Thoth: Furia? Do you live?


*Morri sinks to the ground slowly, wounded badly*
*Iris is panicking, trying to fend off the demons*


*Cal is panicking also, trying to keep his children alive*

*Curt frowns*

Curt: I was just asking.

*Curt winces as the pain in his arm stops him from using a two handed fire arm*

*He pulls out his M9 and does what he can with it*

*Rachel clutches at Thaddeus, and instinctively sends a bolt of purple ball of energy at one of the charging demons.*
Rachel: I-I don't know, this isn't my fathers doing!
*She buries her face in Thaddeus shoulder, no longer willing to fight.*
Rachel: Your quinque should hurt them, but there are too many!

---
*Brunor nods, and holds a Quen shield as the door explodes.*
*Quen is his focus so he is unharmed from debris.*
Brunor: What our next move?

---
*Jake stays close to Denny firing like mad.*
*At least tries to keep her flank clear of demons.*

*Thaddeus takes on a dead serious attitude at seeing Rachel frightened*
Thaddeus: "Rachel, they will crawl over my corpse before I let them harm you."
*Thaddeus promises Rachel wholeheartedly and gets into a defensive stance*
//"This cannot be done alone..."//
*Suddenly a figure appears behind them. It is Taeria in her S class ghoul form*
Taeria: I am here, Brother.

*Furia looks up weakly*
My kin.... Did the child survive the attack?

...

*Maria and Marla are both hurt and look at Mprri fall, Marlin hurt and others all wounded*

*Marla*
Some morning... If all goes bad, it was nice knowing you.

*Maria*
Aye. Lets see if we cannot look back on this sis.

*Rachel looks up at Thaddeus, and nods.*
Rachel: I won't let that happen! You can't die!
*She clutches tightly to Thaddeus, and looks at Taeria in confusion.*
Rachel: It's... her.

---
*Ciri is in a mental war with Gaunter, though it appears as if she is sleeping.*
*A extremely powerful quen shield sits around her, protecting her from any demon attacks.*

*The demons don't hold back, and the swarm is still in the high thousands, although a majority of them are wandering around cause they can't see anymore things to kill*

~

*Tala shudders, and pulls her tail out of the powerpoint*
T: I... I don't... Oof... Know...
*She stumbles back a bit, as yet more demons start climbing over the masonry*
T: If I die, I want you to know that you're pretty cool... And you have a very peculiar but nice way of mating...

~

*Denny eventually reaches the UNSC armoury, busts the door down with her bulk, then runs towards where the guns are*
D: Pick your poison, we're not going to have much downtime.
*She grabs one of the mounted guns the Warthogs have, and rips it off*
D: Momma likes.

~

*There's a fairly decent sized horde of skeletons bearing down on Rachel cause of her demonic presence, same with Gandrea and Elise, because they also have demon blood, or smell of demon*
*Most of the leaders of the horde are dead, courtesy of Illidan*

*Taeria swifly puts on her eerie black dober mask and he kagune glows powerfully behind her. Her skin tight, black armor almost blends with the darkness*
Thaddeus: "Taeria! I do not know the origin of these creatures. Keep Rachel guarded from behind!"
*Taeria does not question the command of her brother and she gets into a defensive stance. *
Taeria: "良い選択"
*Thaddeus chuckles and looks back at Rachel*
Thaddeus: Rachel, This is my sister, Sasha Akari.
*Taeria looks at Rachel and nods curtly*

*Remus groans and shakes about trying to kill as much demons before eventually getting completely exhausted and struggles to move drooling everywhere*

*Curt follows BH along and gets NPC'd and probably get a big cut to the legs*

*Rachel looks between the pair, then looks back at Thaddeus.*
Rachel: This is.. her then..
*Looks over at Taeria, and manages to nod.*
//Kill her now Rach, kill her now, and Senpai will be ours forever!//
*She shakes her head, and goes back to burying her face, this time in Thaddeus's back.*

---
*Jake nods, restocks his ammo and grabs a few grenades.*
*Roland's gun all he needs.*
*Eddie grabs a M6, and grins.*
*They both begin firing at the demons.*

---
*Bruno smiles at Tala, and gives her a sloppy yet passionate kiss.*
Bruno: You're a hell of a woman Tala, but we're not dying today.
*He fires a split bolt which nuries themselves into three demons.*

*Horus hoists Scatty in one arm and begins hacking his way back towards Iris only to see her dragging Morri and Mergoux away*
*He shouts in fury and barrels forwards to trample everything in his path*


*Black Hawk drags Curt into his room and makes a makeshift wall for a last stand*


*Iris is attempting to use her aura to blind the enemy*


*Caped man and Gharn attempt to save Remus*


*Cal cradles both of his children, trying to heal them with aura*


*Thoth staggers to his feet and tries to turn the water back to concrete but fails and instead collapses back to rest*

*Taeria begins slashing at at the skeletons with her kagune. She slashes at them and watches them crumble with the touch of the kagune*
*Thaddeus notices Rachel's touch. He looks bacj at her while slashing about skillfully*
Thaddeus: Fear not, Rachel..
//"We wont let you die."//
*Taeria and Thaddeus skillfully begin fighting alongside eachother feircely, never ceasing to lose energy*

*Marla and Maria try to lend a hand to cal as both have fairly undrained auras after making sure Marlin is not in too much danger*

*all 3 hurt by various degrees, out of ammo and swords are only weapons left*

*Marinalia looks worried for Dira and Morgan but cannot do much to help them*

*Rachel watches the pair fight in awe, then looks back at Thaddeus, and nods.*
Rachel: I-I know, y-you will protect me.
*She smiles weakly up at him, then buries her face in his back again.*
*A cold voice inside her keeps trying to convince her to attack Taeria, which causes her to weep.*

*There are still lots and lots and lots and lots of demons, and even more skeletons*
*By "hurt by various degree", what you actually mean to say is almost dead*

~

*The shadow dome around the room starts crumbling under Illidan's spells after-effect, so bitches better start running*

~

*No other settlement could hold up to the demonic onslaught, so there's no other life in towns or anything, and the other demon portals are still open*

~

*Denny hoists her gatling gun underhanded, and sprays the doorway of the armoury, turning it into a killzone*
*Demons and skellies start breaking down other parts of the armour to surround everyone*

~

*Tala smiles, and holds on to Brunor, basically spent of all her electrical energy, which she needs to live, but she ain't telling anyone that*

~

*A succubus pushes herself through a portal she opened in Daveth's room, and smiles at Elise, who stares back in shock*
*Although they are kinda similar in looks, the succubus' wings are very weird in comparison to Elise's, and she overall looks a lot scarier than sexier*
*She pounces at Elise, who is taken by surprise, and tries fighting back*
*Unlike Elise, the succubus isn't wearing clothes*

*Brunor smiles back at Tala, and lays her slowly onto the ground.*
*He then stands, draws his steel sword, and fights to defend Tala.*
*Brunor is badass, but such a onslaught is too much for one lonely bear witcher.*

---
*Jake makes sure the armory is clear of any lingering demons, then aids Denny in holding the door.*
*Eddie flanks Jake, and aids the pair.*

*Horus smashes his way to the armory, drops Scatty and holds the doorway against all opponents*


*Cape man and Gharn bust into the room and start laying into what's where*
*Cape man focuses skellies cause they more fun than demons to fight*

*Veck finally shows up since I missed most of the action while I was sleeping*
*looks for a PC to assist*

*I'm gonna assume the entire tank crew bar Greyfax herself got their gak pushed in*
*Greyfax herself sprints towards the non-UNSC armory to get something stronger than a pistol*

*So apparently running into more hordes of skellies and demons was a smart idea, feat GharnWerefang*
*There are a lot more skellies and demons on the inside than there is on the outside, so yeah, have fun living that*

~

*Tala watches Brunor, and is terrified of him being overwhelmed, and her inability to do anything against it*

~

*Denny keeps firing, and only falls back to reload*
*The two armouries are different, cause one is the UNSC specific one, and the other is for the other plebians*

~

*Illidan is cut and bruised, but probably in the best shape out of everyone in the Room*

~

*Although there's still plenty, the swarm is slowing, most of the demons and skeletons wandering around outside of the room, or they start chasing wildlife*

*Gharn and the Red Caped man work as a duo, watching each others backs*


*Mergoux and shoots from a seated position due to a injured leg*


*Horus grabs his minigun again and opens fire, mowing down what he can*


*The Red Caped man throws down a rune that summons a pomeranian in gold armor*
Man: Sick 'em Daimyo!
*The little dog starts biting a skeley mage's leg, growling*


OOC: Last post for a while. Gotta go

*Brunor fights hard, and though witchers are trained to fight in outnumbered scenario, it is apparent that he is getting more fatigued by the second.*
*He still stands over Tala, droplets of a mixture of his blood and demons fall on her limp frame.*

---
*Jake steps forward, and unloads with his mags with Denny reloads.*
*Eddie keeps firing as well, also has his stupid smile still.*

*Veck and Greyfax both show up outside the regular armory, take cover, and open fire on all the skeletons and such that are surrounding the armory*
*Veck is using a combi-plasma and Greyfax has a compact lascarbine*

*Kara strides towards the room, blasting down any demons that cross her*
*ring glows brightly after each kill*

*Daveth's eyes widen and he grabs a scalpel before jumping at the succubus*
*tries stabbing her neck, but is careful to not hit Elise*

*Aerin, who had been trailing Voskrinod for several days, draws his silver sword and approaches him*
*medallion is humming like crazy, which he assumes is cause of Vosk*
A: Time we have a talk, creature.
*Vosky raises his hands slowly and shakes his head*
V: Not now, Witcher. Something approaches.
*On cue, the horde shows up, and Aerin curses, growls, and starts fighting them*
*Voskrinod changes to his dragon form and assists Aerin*

*Santiago is defending Joalia in the dome, making sure that she isn't harmed at any cost*

*Darkspawn cave is using mob tactics too, so it's a moshpit*

*Wade keeps shooting the psychos*
DP: KYS noobs!

*Thaddeus and Taeria back up while fending the skeletons off swiftly*
Thaddeus: Taeria, fall back. We need to find a place with more coverings!
*Taeria nodds and her Kagune swifly grabs Rachel. They being making a run for an area with more coverings*

*Rachel looks horrified at being pulled away from Thaddeus.*
Rachel: No! I wish to stay with you! Stop let me go!
*Her blade wings stab at Taeria's Kagune, and she kicks wildly.*
Rachel: Let me go!
*Purple energy crackles around her wings in her distress.*

*The kagune maintains its grip and Taeria looks back at Rachel *
Taeria:R-Relax! Tjaddeus will meet up with us soon. Your life is my main priority!
//"you aren't the only one who's been forced away from someone you love..."//
*Thaddeus exclaims to Rachel to soothe her*
Thad: Please go, Rachel! Taeria will keep you safe!!

*Lascarbine does squat against the demons, but probably kills the skellies, but the combi-plasma does a fair bit to anything*

~

*Tala prays for a miracle, even though the horde isn't letting up*
*She's mostly praying for Brunor's life over her own, cause she already on her way out*

~

*Denny goes back to spraying and praying, though without the praying, cause she ain't religious*

~

*The succubus fighting Elise slumps ontop of her, and dies, cause a scalpel to the neck is a scalpel to the neck*
E: Holy... What the feth is going on around here... Thanks for the assist...
*Gandrea slightly jelly she wasn't the one to help Elise, cause she's preoccupied with the door and not letting any demons through*

~

*Joal is gak scared*

~

*The general consensus is to run from the demons and skellies, not hold the fort*

*seeing that they probably can't hold back the hordes of foes, Veck and Greyfax begin pulling back*
*Noting the effectiveness of plasma vs. the demons Veck focues his fire on them as he retreats*
*Greyfax does what she can to help as she runs by snapping off shots at the skellies*
*her aim isn't the greatest, as she's more used to tank cannons*

*Rachel nods her head, but is still unwilling to leave Thaddeus again.*
Rachel: Promise you will back! Promise!
*She looks at Taeria as she is dragged away, and looks slightly angry.*
Rachel: He better be okay! Or I will kill you, this I swear...

---
*Brunor is getting cut up pretty bad, and finally decides to throw out his trump card.*
*He throws his bomb bag, with three of the bombs primed.*
*Quickly crouches over Tala, and holds a quen shield.*
*A violent explosion rips through the room.*

---
*Jake is praying to Gan for them to survive, and dealing lead.*
*Eddie seems indifferent about it all.*

*Thaddeus yells back finally*
Thaddeus: I promise!
*Taeria keeps running while holding. Rachel. She hears the threat and smiles slightly.*
Taeria: Well in that case, I hope my brother delays in his fightings and doesn't return.
*The apathy and coldness in Taeria's little voice shocked herself*
//"look at how far I've fallen... I am truly all alone now."//
*Taeria bolts out of the main room and into the wide open clearing outside*

*Tala holds Brunor weakly, and closes her eyes*

~

*Denny continues firing, trying to push out of the armoury somewhat while keeping an eye on Eddie*

~

*Skellies keep coming like a Smash Mouth song*

*Rachel nods, accepting Thaddeus words.*
Rachel: O-okay..
*She stares at Taeria with hate, and sadness. Tears silently start to fall as she shakes her head.*
Rachel: Y-you don't mean that! You evil bitch! You monster!
*Squirms against her weakly.*

---
*Brunor slowly gets up, looking around the devastation.*
*He manages to lift Tala up, and carries her outside.*

---
*Jake supports Denny, while Eddie just tags along smiling.*

*Kara's eyes glow brightly, cause she's been draining the demons (which works in DA, funnily enough)*
*eventually reaches the front of the room and looks around for anyone that's not a demonic attacking douche*

*Santiago doesn't take his eyes off the demons as he keeps fighting*
S: It's going to be alright.

*Daveth nods and moves the succubus off of Elise before helping her up*
*wishes that he had more than a scalpel to fight*

*Taeria keeps running and she tilts her head at being called evil*
Taeria: Y-You'd think the evil ones could still feel something...
*Taeria shakes her head with disbelief but her voice remains low*
Taeria: Of course I-I don't mean it... I love Thaddeus. He's all that's left...
*Taeria thinks of her family and she shivers a bit*

*Greyfax and Veck continue retreating towards the exit for the Room, keeping up a constant barrage of fire as they do so*
*Veck punches the gak out of any Skellies that get too close*
*he primes a frag grenade and hurls it at the biggest clump of skellies that he can see*
*Greyfax silently curses herself for only having a crappy flashlight for a weapon*

*Rachel's eyes soften slightly.*
Rachel: He is... all that I have left... to.
*She looks down, and sighs.*
Rachel: Okay.. let's go then..
*Doesn't fight against her bounds anymore.*

*The skellies keep coming*

~

*Tala weakly looks around, and smiles at Brunor making it out of it*

~

*Denny keeps firing*

~

*Gandrea is holding off the demons at the door, so Daveth doesn't have to worry about using the scalpel*

~

*Elise hugs Daveth in her fear, and looks down at the succubus' corpse*
E: She was like me... But different...

*Veck and Greyfax finally get out of the Room and look around wondering where the feth to go*

*Brunor carries Tala into the forest.*
*He's battered and bruised yet he manages to walk at a brisk pace.*

---
*Jake cover Denny as best he can, and keeps pushing towards outside.*
*Eddie actually helping with his pistol, at the moment.*

*Thaddeus eventually catches up with the two women*
Thaddeus: Are both of you alright? We have to get as far away from here as we can..
*He looks out of breath. Quickly, Taeria rushes to her older brother to tend to him*
Taeria: Thaddeus... y-you're a mere human.. you shouldn't strain yourself..

*Horus chucks a few holy hand grenades into the mix*


*Red Cape man fights undead, having waaaay too much fun despite the grim situation*


*Black Hawk continues to hold out with Curt*


*Cal is still trying to keep his children safe*


*Merg loses a lot of blood and falls unconscious*


*Scatty's not doing well and neither is Morri*


*Iris sees Rachel carried by Tae as they dart past*
Iris: What the- RACHEL!
*Would chase after them if it didn't mean basically getting killed*


*Ra is waist deep in a pile of ash from burned corpses of his foes*


*Huitz has gone away before this happened because I don't really want to kill him, nor really post for him*


*Gharn is in the middle of a berzerk rampage*

*Rachel join Taeria, and gently hugs Thaddeus arm.*
Rachel: I'm fine.. She-she is right you are hurt!
*She nuzzles his arm, and looks at Iris wide eyed.*
Rachel: Iris?
*Doesn't dare leave Thaddeus side.*

*Thaddeus takes a seat on the ground but waves the two off*
Thaddeus: I'm fine. The main priority is evacutating the area.
*Thaddeus looks at Iris*
Thaddeus: Your friend is there, Rachel. I will retrieve her and bring her to safety. But for now, run with Taeria. Whatever you do.. don't stop running.
*Taeria looms horrified at her brother's decision to go back*
Taeria: T-Thaddeus...

*Horus sees the clearing is well... clear and starts moving towards it, covering Iris as she grunts and lifts Scatty to drape over Horus's shoulder then lifts Merg and Morri on her own*
*She may be gak at combat but she's no slouch when it comes to fitness*
*They start making their way towards Thaddeus*
Iris: Rachel stay back!
*Her skin is still black as midnight, contrasting her stark white as she moves alongside Horus and then perhaps gets either paused or NPC'd cause I really need to sleep.*


OOC: I gotta sleep. NPC as needed without killing anyone

*Thaddeus instantly goes to help Iris and Horus*
OOC Night Night

*Rachel shakes her head, not wanting Thaddeus to go, but also wanting Iris to be saved. She cries and shakes her head.*
Rachel: Please let me go with you, I don't want for you to do this alone. I can help! You taught me how!
*She watches Thaddeus break off, and obey's his orders of following after Taeria.*

[Baneblade shakes itself down, trundles over to the Butter Tank, and boops it] [Starts towing it to the cabin outside]

[Perron sits on a surprisingly intact chair and sips tea in the middle of the room] ... [Occasionally flickers]

*Taeria holds Rachel back for her safety*
Thaddeus: Stay put, little one.
*Taeria begins to cry softly and she brings Rachel into an embrace*
Taeria: He'll be fine... he's an Akari. We'll be fine... I need to go back for someone as well.. Ciri..
OOC Hey BC!!!

*Rachel is utterly surprised by the hug, but gradually returns it.*
Rachel: O-okay... I'll stay..
*She stands there looking scared, but watches for Thaddeus, or Iris.*
Rachel: Just be okay..

---
*Ciri sits in her nightmare, unaware of the chaos surrounding her.*
*Gaunter watches over her smiling.*

*Kara stands at the edge of the room, turning skeletons to ash as she drains them*
*low key humming Into the Dawn as she fights*

*Daveth returns the hug and nods*
*would definitely make a comment about Elise looking better than the other succubus if he could*

*Taeria runs back into the chaos wildly recieving a few injuries as she battles her way back to Ciri*
*Taeria begins screaming wildly for Ciri, she is covered with cuts and blood*
Taeria: CIRI?!?
*She finds Ciri and wakes her up frantically*
Taeria: I-I came back for you! We're going to die if we stay here!!

[[Hi Tae, I won't be super active, but I'm back <3 ]]

*Gaunter disappears as Tae enters the room.*
*Ciri groans, and opens her eyes a Gaunters spell wears off. Her eyes widen with shock.*
Ciri: Tae you-you are hurt!
*She wades to her feat, eyes already glowing green.*
Ciri: What is going on!

*Taeria lookf frantic and she is clearly in a state of shock*
Taeria: We're being attacked by demons! I came back so I can get you out of here! We need to evacuate now.
*Taeria grabs Ciri's wrist and runs out of the room in ghoul form*
Taeria: Just a little... closer..

*Ciri keeps following after Taeria, then finally grabs both her arms.*
Ciri: Tae! Slow down!
*She then blinks away with Taeria on the outskirts of the forest.*
Ciri: See, we are okay.. relax let me look at your wounds.
*Ciri gently pulls Taeria to a log to sit on.*

*Taeria is frantically looking around and breathing heavily*
//"Is this a panic attack?"//
*Taeria moves away from the log in a skiddish manor*
Taeria: I'm fine I-I we.. We need to find my brother
*Taeria is bleeding from multiple wounds and she is having trouble remaining calm*
Taeria:Y-You could have d-died..
*The little Ghoulette physically shakes from the stress and fear*

*Tala smiles at Brunor, then tries to keep her eyes open*
T: Turns out I need the power to live... Funny huh?

~

*Denny keeps shooting*

~

*Joal keeps on getting scared*

~

*Elise stays back with Daveth*

~

*Gandrea keeps torching*

*Ciri gently hugs Taeria, and strokes the back of her head.*
Ciri: It's okay Tae... I will find your brother, please just try to calm yourself.
*She gently lifts Taeria's chin, and stares into her eyes.*
Ciri: I will find him, you wait here. Okay?
*She draws her sword, and already builds the energy to blink.*

*Taeria immediately becomes stoic as if she "switched off" all emotion. She grabs Ciri's arm*
Taeria: I am going too.
*Her eyes are glazed with sudden emotionlessness.*
~~~~~
*Thaddeus has brought Iris and the others to safety with Rachel*
Thaddeus: Where will we go now?....

*Rachel runs to Thaddeus, and hugs him.*
*She hides her tears from him, by looking down.*
Rachel: Are-are you hurt!

---

*Ciri looks conflicted but nods.*
Ciri: Okay.. Just hold onto me..
*She blinks away taking some time to find Thaddeus, and group.*
Ciri: Here we are...
*She inadvertently leans on Taeria, the blinking sapping much of her strength.*

*Thaddeus shakes his head and assures Rachel that he is fine*
Thaddeus: I am fine...
*Taeria supports Ciri to keep her from falling*
Taeria: where is home now?
*There is silence as they all look around.*
Thaddeus: It's too dangerous to go back now... we must keep moving..

*Daveth stays next to Elise, wondering how his life could get so fethed*
The cave would have been better for you, Deserter.

*Kara fights her way to the room, trying to catch a sign of Gandrea*
*doesn't care if she's speeding up the process of the room getting destroyed as her entropy does its work*

*Santiago glances back at Joalia*
S: We need to go. Regroup with the others.
*reloads his shotgun and kneels down in front of Joalia*
S: Climb on, and do not let go. We're getting out of here alive.

*Rachel nods, and hugs Thaddues.*
Rachel: Let's go then.. before more demons show up.
*She wipes away her tears, and looks determined.*

*Ciri grinds her teeth at her weakened state.*
Ciri: We'll take our home back... This I swear.

---
*Bruno looks frantic.*
Brunor: No!
*He quickly grabs the single fulgur bag he has in his pouch, and releases it from the jar.*
*Then tries to use his yerden sign to also charge her.*

*Thaddeus rubs Rachel's head gently*
Thaddeus: Get on my back, little one.
*Thaddeus gets on his knees and waits for Rachel to climb on*
Thaddeus: Don't be shy..
*He flashes a familiar charming smile *
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Taeria picks up Ciri and holds her comfortably in her kagune*
Taeria: Y-You look tired..
*She holds Ciri despite all of her wounds*

*Veck and Greyfax fall back into the woods with everyone else*

*Rachel manages to return the smil, and climbs onto Thaddeus's back.*
Rachel: Okay..
*She places her chin on Thaddeus chin, and sighs with relief.*
*Shivers slightly from the contact, and the fear still consuming her.*

---
*Ciri shakes her head.*
Ciri: No.. Tae.. I can walk.. you are... hurt
*Tries to object more but only rests comfortable into the Kagune.*

*The group treks on into the deep forest making sure to go far away from the room*

*Taeria thinks to herself silently*
//"yes... I am very hurt. That doesnt matter to me."//
*Thaddeus sees a clearing ahead*
Thaddeus: Lets stop there for a few moments*

*The forest is silent*

*Tala weakly grasps at the fulgurbug, and smiles*
T: You kept it...
*She slowly starts absorbing the electricity from it, and gets off of death's bed*

~

*Gandrea is still defending Daveth's room, and has used up her mana reserves about six times over, forcing her to tap into her own life to sustain the flames*

~

*Joalia nods, and pulls herself up onto Santiago's back*

*Rachel looks around, enjoying her high vantage point.*
Rachel: Is it safe?
*Scans the area looking for threats.*

---
*Ciri nods, and steps from the Kagune.*
Ciri: Tae.. are you alright?
*She uses her sword to hold herself up.*

---
*Brunor nods.*
Brunor: Of course I kept it..
*He watches her absorb the energy.*

*Kara is making her way through the room, and picks up on the Fel magic that Ganny's using*
*makes her way towards it, and doesn't have much of a problem with mana cause it's regenerated from her kills*

*Santiago immediately sets off towards the room, taking great care to prevent Joalia from getting attacked*

*Gandrea notices Kara's presence approach, and smiles as she burns*
*She is happy Kara is coming*

~

*Tala smiles, and closes her eyes as she siphons the electricity slowly*

~

*The skellies are spread around the room and the forest, but not in that high density compared to the towns and stuff*

*Veck keeps smashing skellies to dust as he looks for the others with Greyfax*
*occasionally deigns to shoot one instead*
*Greyfax looks pretty shell shocked at this point*

*Thaddeus looks around and all seems clear*
Thaddeus: We're fine for now...keep alert..
*Taeria slumps down and looms up at Ciri *
Taeria: I'll be alright...
*she catches her breath and and stares off into the distance*

*Kara eventually reaches Gandrea, and nods to her*
K: We're leaving.
*notices Daveth, and has the urge to gut him, but she's got more important things to worry about*

*Daveth stares at Kara, and unconsciously scratches at where his right eye used to be*

*Santiago changes directions towards the woods when he sees how fethed the room is, cause as much as he'd like to help, he's not risking Joalia for anything*

*Rachel nods, and pulls herself up a little more on Thaddeus back to get higher.*
Rachel: I will... what are we going to do though?
*She keeps goes back to looking around.*
*Inadvertently presses her chest to the back of Thaddeus head.*

*Ciri nods to Taeria, and sits next to her*
Ciri: Just rest, love.. I know you will..
*Starts to gently treat Taeria's wound with some bandages

---
*Brunor lays next to Tala, and meditates.*
*His wounds begin to heal.*

---
*Jake and Eddie support Denny, and push their way to the forest.*

*Milo remains unconscious in the Repressor*
*Greyfax and Veck keep on running*

[Butter Tank halts long enough for Sam and CBC to bail out of their cabin and climb inside]
[Benny stands in the tank doorway and looks back at the room ... [Looks concerned for once] ..I have a family, now. [Drops head]

["Perron" stands up from the chair in the room and vanishes] [Teacup drops]
[Perron steps out of the Baneblade] The place makes the warp look calm... [Snaps fingers, and the Baneblade apparently vanishes] [Picks up a tiny tank, and stashes it in a pocket] Remind me that I did that, some time... Yarrick may get understandably upset if I forget where I put it. Boys and their toys... [Hops into Butter Tank] [Benny follows inside]

*Voskrinod lands next to Aerin while sending a stream of fire at a chunk of skellies*
*communicates to him via telepathy, and with hesitant consent Voskrinod grabs him with a talon and flies towards the room*

*Brunor eyes snap open, as he hears Vosks approach.*
*He stands up, and draws his battered steel sword.*
Brunor: Gods dammit... what now.
*Looks back at the resting Tala, and then back to the sky.*

*Vosk spots Brunor and swoops down to land next to him*
*Aerin drops out of Voskrinod's grip with a smirk, and nods to Brunor*
A: Think there's a contract out for this?

*Voskrinod stays in dragon form, and looks around for any more demons/skellies before turning his head to look down at Brunor*

*Black Hawk starts fighting his way out with Ra and probably Curt*


*Thoth lifts Calluna and starts leading Furia out of the room, physically kicking aside anything in his way*


*Gharn is trying to find Dria*

*Redcaped man is still fighting hard and probs pretty easy to spot*


*Iris doesn't stop and instead starts trying to use what little she knows of healing stuff to save some lives*
*Pauses briefly to give Rachel a hug and a weak smile*
Iris: I'm glad to see you're safe!

*Horus's adrenaline starts falling off and he sinks to his knees panting*

*Freya magically appears in the forest since I completely forgot about her*
*Veck and Greyfax look for other Room survivors to meet up with*
*Milo is possibly dead. Depends on if the Repressor was attacked*

*Everything was attacked, so there wouldn't be a room right now, everything is demon/skelly town*

~

*Elise stares at Kara, then at Daveth, and stands in front of him*

~

*Gandrea has no such reservations, and hugs Kara, finally letting herself rest, and she just falls into Kara's arms*
G: ...
*She is very tired, and a lot paler than she was when she started off, cause she hasn't been able to drain any souls, just burn them to pieces*

*Rachel breaks from Thaddeus for a moment to hug Iris.*
Rachel: It's good to see you friend Iris...
*The hugs is tight, but brief.*
Rachel: Glad we are all safe..

---
*Brunor sighs with relif, and falls to a knee.*
Brunor: It's... good to see you cat.
*He almost chocks on the words, then looks at the gold dragon.*
Brunor: I don't need the money..
*Crawls next to Tala's side, but still looks up at gold dragon.*
Brunor: It friendly?

*Iris grimaces then looks at Scatty's bloodied form*
Iris:...We're not... Who knows anything about first aid?
*Starts trying to help Scatty*

*Merg weakly sits up, pale and weak but alive and conscious*
Merg: Th' feth.... happened?


*Thoth finds Cal, Dria and Morgan and portals them away*


*Blackhawk is trying to break out of the rubble*

*Curt pulls up next to BH in his Bugatti Veyron*

*It doesn't look like a Bugatti Ceyron anymore*

*He then hops out and tries to help BH*

*Remus limped off into the woods to avoid getting ganked to death, he has little problem with lone skelies/Demons in the forest. Tho he is very close to falling unconscious*

*Torgue pops up on the Trio's HUD*

TORGUE: Good job badasses! That's the first floor! You got 9 more to go!

*The elevator digs*

TORGUE: Or you could use the elevator.

*Black Hawk jumps in the car*


*Billy sighs*
Billy: I vote Elevator. We should rescue whoever it is we're supposed to rescue.
*He looks at Zoey*
Billy: And I guess if you end up bored we can fight our way down and out

*Curt jumps in the driver seat and steps on the gas*

*He weeps for his poor Bugatti Veyron*

*Black Hawk leans out what's left of the window and guns down anything in passing*


*The Redcaped man and Gharn start backing out, mostly due to Gharn being unconscious and slung over the man's shoulders*
*The man's jovial attitude is gone as he's become more serious*

*Tala wakes up with a groan, then smiles as she realizes she's still alive*
T: Hey... Thanks for the assist... Totally needed it...
*She isn't being sarcastic for once*

~

*Denny and co eventually break through the somewhat dense clump of skellies and demons, and Denny leads the way through the forest, opting to use her fists and knife instead of the loud ass gatling gun*

~

*There probably ain't many human settlements left, the Illidari camp is absolutely fethed by the onslaught of the demons, but Maiev is safe in her magical cell, because the demon forces don't have anything that could beat Illidan's magic*
*Maiev is fearing for Kara, though she doesn't know Gandrea exists*

*Cloaked man sees Denny and co and staggers after them, trying to follow and keep up but is slowed by Gharn, heavy armor and his own injuries*
Man: Wait up! Help!


*Horus passes out cause he tired AF*
*Iris does what she can for healing then curls up next to him*

*Scatty and Morri are still both passed out*

*Merg tries to stand but find she can't put any weight on her leg without it giving way so instead she sits and keeps watch*

*Kara lifts Gandrea onto her shoulder and turns back around*
K: The forest is safer.
*starts heading back out of the room, not too concerned if Daveth keeps up*
*Daveth doesn't like the idea of following after Kara, but doesn't have much of a choice, so he takes Elise's hand and tries keeping up*

*Aerin nods*
A: Not to these new monsters, but we don't have to worry.

*Santiago keeps to the forest, and is searching for the nearest survivor(s)*

*Gandrea doesn't object to being carried by Kara, and passes out on her shoulder*

~

*Elise looks between Daveth and Kara, then leans closer to Daveth*
E: I... I trust her with Gandrea, but I don't trust her with you. I think we should split off...
*She looks at the sleeping form of Gandrea with hesitation, and bites her lip*
E: I... Think...

~

*Denny looks back at the dude and Gharn, and rolls her eyes*
D: Always has to be the furries.
*She walks over, and easily hefts Gharn over her shoulder, then resumes walking without another word to the man*

~

*Joal is still scared as hell, so she just covers her head with her tail and remains on Santiago's back*
*She is crying in fear, but it's silent, 1, because she would make it so, and 2, because she's a mute.*

*Ciri and Rach are probably resting at this point, after running around for so long.*

---
*Brunor looks over at Tala, and also smiles.*
*He wordlessly pulls her into a tight embrace, and showers her with kisses.*
Brunor: Anything for you... I'm... I'm just glad you are okay...

---
*Jake is out of breath, and simply nods to the Gharn and cape dude.*
*Then trails after Denny, gun ready.*
*Eddie looks over at caped dude.*
Eddie: She's a bitch, but you get used to it.

---
*Zoey nods, and walks into the elevator.*
Zoey: Don't worry about my boredom, lets just go find... whoever this is.

*Kara glances at the sleeping Gandrea as she walks, and smiles very slightly*
K: Almost out of here.

*Daveth nods and mouths "your call"*
*as much as he doesn't like Kara, he also doesn't like the idea of roughing it out with the demons with just a scalpel*

*Santiago keeps moving, not wanting to stay in one place for too long*

*Aerin rolls his eyes at Brunor's display, and looks back at Voskrinod*
A: We'll have that chat later.

*Wade follows after Zoey*
DP: Y'know Zoey, you remind me of someone.

*Gandrea mumbles something in her sleep, and continues holding onto Kara sub-consciously*

~

*Elise sighs, and rubs the back of her neck*
E: All things considered, we're not prepared for the things out there. I don't fight, and you're hurt.
*She sighs, and continues holding Daveth's hand*
E: We'll go at the first sign of her snapping.

~

*Joal wishes she had her wheelchair so she wasn't such a burden on Santiago*
*She also wishes nothing like this ever happened, cause her home is absolutely scrapped*
*She is also holding the box Letho gave her and the snowglobe Santiago fixed, cause she needs some memories to go with her*

~

*Tala giggles at the kisses, and holds the embrace with Brunor*
T: I'm glad I'm okay as well. Oh, and you, of course.

~

*Denny hears Eddie's comment, cause she has good hearing, but lets it slide considering their position*

~

*Illidan had flown to his camp, and let out a roar of complete anguish and hate at finding it covered in shadow*
*He does his best to break the portal, and does so after a while, then feels only sadness at finding none of his other demon hunters alive, only hundreds of skeletons and demons(portal was smaller cause the camp was a fraction of the rooms size)*
*He conjures up a giant feth-off spell, and throws it at the camp, obliterating whatever demons and skeletons are therein a very big radius, then drops down, and goes to town on them*
*He is fething pissed off*

*Jake hears the Eddie comment, and shoots him a angered look.*
*Eddie smiles back, and puts his arms up in mock surrender.*
*Jake then returns to keeping watch, pistol at the ready.*

---
*Brunor nod, and holds Tala to his chest.*
Brunor: I'm... more then glad.
*He manages to tear his gaze from Tala, and looks over at Aerin.*
Brunor: If you wish to speak, then do so.

---
*Zoey frowns at Deadpool under her helm.*
Zoey: And who might that be?

*The second the elevator door opens in front of Wade and Zoey there is a psycho with a grenade in his hand*

Psycho: BOOM TIME!

*Psycho explodes destroying the elevator allahu akbar! *

*Remus manages to find a place to sleep*

*Curt looks over at BH*

Curt: So. Got any idea where we could find shelter? I got plenty of gas in the tank, also some refills in the boot. We can search for others after we tend to ourselves.

*Curt nods at the fairly rough bandaging he has on his arm*

*Daveth follows after Kara, who takes Gandrea a fair ways into the forest*
*Kara gently sets Gandrea down against a tree and puts a hand on her forehead before doing a reverse life drain, pumping her own energy into Ganny*
*Daveth stands there with Elise, watching Kara cautiously*

*Aerin looks back at Brunor and smirks*
A: I was talking to the dragon, but now that you mention it, we could use some catching up. Anything interesting happen, before all of this?

*Wade giggles as he picks himself up off the ground*
DP: There's this girl, she's a survivor of a zombie apocalypse. Looks a lot like you too, actually.

*Santiago isn't burdened by Joalia, and keeps on truckin'*

*Tala nuzzles against Brunor's chest while he has his chat with Aerin, and gradually falls asleep, cause she's still pretty drained*

~

*Gandrea stirs at the life entering her, and smiles up at where she thinks Kara is*
G: Hmmnmmnum...
*She outstretches her arms, hoping Kara hugs her*

~

*Joal remains quiet, and looks around to see if she can see some other people that got out*

~

*Denny remains silent as she hefts Gharn around, looking for water, cause despite everything, she knows everybody, bar maybe Eddie, would be thirsty*

*Thaddeus moves along with the crowd and he looks at Rachel*
Thaddeus: Are you hungry, little one?
*He looks slightly worried for her and seems ready to tend to her needs*
Thaddeus: Do you need something to drink?

*Rachel still clutches Thaddeus arm, and nods.*
Rachel: I'm a little thirsty, but it's okay.. we should just keep moving.
*She smiles weakly up at him.*
Rachel: A-are you need of anything? Maybe I can help?

---
*Brunor holds Tala protectively, as he watches Vosk, and Aerin.*

---
*Jake silently treks along next to Denny.*
*Eddie hums happily.*

*Thaddeus pulls out his brief case holding his whips. He pulls out a canteen that is only half full. He offers the entire thing to Rachel*
Thaddeus: Drink.
*He shakes his head at her offer*
Thaddeus: I've been in worse situations, dearest.

*Rachel smiles at the offered drink.*
Rachel: Thank you, Senpai.
*She drinks a sip of the water, not wanting to take anymore then she needs. Rach then gives the drink back to Thaddeus.*
*Smile widens at being called "dearest."*
Rachel: Okay, just wanted to be sure.

*Kara stops the drain to hug Gandrea*
K: Are you hurt?

*Voskrinod changes into his human form and rolls his shoulders*
V: I hope that you don't have a desire to attack me, Bear Witcher.

*Santiago slows his pace somewhat*
S: I'll try and catch someone on a comm.
*tries to do just that, though he's making sure to be quick about it in case someone or something has the ability to listen in on it*

*The caped man frowns at the comment from Eddie*
Man: Well then... Alright.
*He nods to the others and smiles slightly to Denny*
Man: Thank you for the help! My name is Artix Von Krieger!
*He stands a little over 6 feet tall with short brown hair.*
*He wears heavy plate mail along side his now badly tattered red cape and wields a very large golden battle axe*
*In short he looks like Garen from LoL except with smaller shoulder pads*


*Black Hawk nods*
BH: I know a few places, but most are up in the mountains. We'd never get this thing up there


*Billy sighs*
Billy: Well there goes that idea...


*Scatty's in a coma*

*Morri is still unconscious*


*Merg can't walk due to her leg*


*Horus is still passed out but Iris wakes and looks around*
Iris: Is everyone okay? Nothing attacked while we slept?
*Smiles slightly at seeing Rachel and Thaddeus*


*Gharn has unconsciously shifted back to human form so he's a bit less of a burden*


*Ra is wandering the woods and someone can run into him if they want*


*Thoth, Calluna, Cal, Morgan and Dria deep in the woods, almost to the mountains. Thoth used the last of his power to TP them out and is now utterly exhausted*
*Cal starts trying to call people but either my characters don't have phones of they've been lost/destroyed *

*Gandrea nods, and holds Kara close*
*She takes the time to smell Kara, very subtly, cause she likes her scent, no matter how demon-y*

~

*Joal maintains lookout, and taps Santiago on the head whenever she sees something, though he'd probably hear it before she does, cause armour upgrades and stuff*

~

*Tala remains resting*

~

*Denny turns her head towards Artix, then goes back to walking*
D: Didn't ask, don't care. Keep moving.
*She herself is over seven feet tall in her armour, and even if Gharn was in were-form, she wouldn't be bothered by his weight cause she can take a lot more*
D: There should be a lake nearby. We can wake the furry there.

~

*Illidan uses his demon vision to look around the camp, and locates a much darker aura, very deep underground*
I: I was hoping they would kill you, Warden.
*He stretches his wings, then starts butchering his way down into the jail*

*Artix frowns.*
Artix: Alright, but there's no need to be so dismissive of him. He's a great warrior!
*Gharn mumbles something about Dria*


*Ra wanders around, covered from head to toe in ash*


*Cal gets up and goes to find something for Thoth to drain as he knows Thoth's powers include the ability to life-drain stuff to get power back, even if it's only grass*
*Morgan is conscious but in too much pain to move*
*Dria is passed out and pretty helpless without her crutches to get around on*

Brunor: I hope the feeling is mutual, I mean you no harm.
*He sighs, remaining alert for threats.*
Brunor: Besides, don't even have a silver sword.

---
*Jake remains silent, in total gunslinger mode looking for any and all threats.*
Eddie: Don't think anyone's in a talkative mood.

---
*Zoey frowns at Deadpool.*
Zoey: The feth are you talking about?
*Sighs at the psycho, and turns to her "team."*
Zoey: We're taking the stairs.

Torgue: Holy crap! That was a surprise! Guess you gotta take the stairs up. And Scorch has made it so the stairs only take you up one floor at a time!

*Scorch groans*

*Curt smiles at BH*

Curt: I have put some heavy modifications into this thing. now we may not be able to get to the peak, but any high ground we can get might help us.

*He looks at his radio as it picks up some weak signals*

Curt: Looks like people are still alive out there. But the car is so banged up I can't get a solid lock on the signals. Can't even connect to them...

*Remus would be flying around looking for Dria/Morgan but one of his wing's is torn up. So he stalks the forest on foot instead*

*Black Hawk nods then gives directions to the cave Billy and Jordan were in that one time*
BH: Let me see if I can do anything to the radio...


*Billy nods*
Billy: Looks like it. I'll go first. Cover me.
*Reactivates his shield arm just in case then draws his pistol and starts up the stairs*


*Artix nods*
Artix: Seems like it.
*Follows along*


*Cal starts gathering up some plants for Thoth but smells blood and starts walking towards it cautiously*

*Curt shakes his head*

Curt: Don't worry about that for now. Just make sure you are alright. That radio ain't working unless we can get some spare part-. Oh gak!

*A Rathalos lands in the path he was about to take forcing him to drift out of the way and find a new path*

*The Rathalos's roar can be heard as they speed off*

Curt: Dammit... was trying to drive quietly...

*Black Hawk stares out the window after the Rathalos*
BH: Holy gak!
*Sits back down and hopes they don't run into any more monsters*


*Cal follows the scent and finds Remus*
Cal: Remus? You're hurt!
*Walks towards him*

*Curt slows down after he sees no more signs of the Rathalos*

Curt: Jeez. Let's just move a little slower for now, don't want to make to much noise... Case we find another horde of demons... Or they find us...

*Remus looks at Cal. He is drooling from hunger and is exhausted from combat. He groans and starts dragging himself towards Cal*

*Black Hawk nods grimly, glad Billy is off planet*


*Cal hurriedly moves over to Remus and tries to stop him moving*
Cal: Woah woah, easy boy. Don't move just yet.
*Gently pats his snout then tries to patch up Remus as best he can*
*Sees the drool and looks around for anything for him to eat as he knows what it means*

*Thaddeus raises an eyebrow at Rachel's widened smile *
//"being able to smile at a time like this... true strength.."//
*He smoothly runs his fingers through his luscious dark hair with ease*
Thaddeus: My.. My... You certainly brighten my mood, little one.
*Thaddeus flashes a handsome smirk*

*Rachel smiles holds her smiles, and hugs Thaddeus's arm.*
Rachel: Glad I can help.. a little.
*She leans her head on Thaddeus's shoulder.*
Rachel: What are we going to do?

---
*Zoey follows after Billy, and covers him.*
Zoey: If you get shot, get shot in the head... not carrying you around.
*She may be cold, but she covers her squad mate.*

*Iris stands, smiles at Thaddeus and Rachel then nervously looks around and walks off into the bushes to look for water*
*Mergoux frowns cause she knows Iris shouldn't go alone*


*Billy sighs and goes low, crouch moving*

*On the second floor there are two nomads, 4 marauders, two midget shot gunners and 4 burning psychos*

*Remus lays down knowing he is now safer then he was before*

*He lays on the ground panting*

*Curt continues towards the mountains*

Curt: So what was that you said when I gave you the AK? 1800 something? What's the story behind that?

*Curt drives one handed and pulls out a cigarette then offers it to BH*

*Black Hawk nods*
Black Hawk: Hm? Oh, I was born in 1767 as Ma-ka-tai-me-she-kia-kiak.
*He grins*
BH: You can see why I normally go by Black Hawk.
*Gives a brief summary of how he became immortal which involves ancient Inca Warriors, 300 pounds of dynamite and a stampede*


*Quetz's head breaks through the rubble of the room and looks around before he flies off*


*Cal treats Remus as best he can then looks around for something for him to eat*
*Frowns and finds a bear corpse killed by demons and tries in vain to drag it towards Remus*

*Zoey activates her energy blade, and charges at the burning psychos.*
*As she charges she pops off a few rounds at one of the psychos.*

*Thaddeus takes on a serious tone*
Thaddeus: we need to find supplies and shelter for now...
*Thaddeus has been keeping an eye out*
//"wretched place..."//
*He finds a large tree in the distance wherr the branches have hung and intertwined with the ground roots*
Thaddeus: What is that?...

*Rachel nods*
Rachel: O-okay.. We'll find something, I'm sure.
*She follows after Thaddeus, staying close to him. When they find the tree she frowns, not remembering any trees like that in the forest before.*
Rachel: I-I don't know..

*Billy takes cover and fires off some headshots*
Billy: Eat lead!


*Iris watches Thaddeus and Rachel wander off*
Iris: Don't go too far! We need to stick together!
*Wanders around a little to find water*

*Thaddeus takes out his double whips skillfully, he squints a bit as he believes to see movement in the odd shaped tree*
Thaddeus: Rachel... stay back. I am going to see if there is any danger...
*Thaddeus slowly makes his way toward the tree keeping alert at all costs.*
Thaddeus: All seems to be-
*Thaddeus is cut off mid sentence due to being tackled. He looks up to see a young Kitsune sitting on him*
Kitsune: OoOo... a human?! This deep in the forest! Hello!!
*The kitsune giggles and pokes at Thaddeus. She sways her tail and bounces with happiness*
Kitsune: I found a human! I'll keep you as my own!

*Rachel nods, and stays back.*
*She makes a small screech at Thaddeus being tackled, then frowns at the Kitsune's words, and her poking Thaddeus.*
Rachel: Hey! Stop that, he is not something to keep!
*She stomps up to the kitsune, her wings shivering with rage.*
Rachel: Get off him now.
*Her eyes flash purple at the kitsune, and cracks of purple energy pop around her wings.*

*The delicate looking kitsune sways her bushy tail playfully and she POOFS over to stand nose to nose with Rachel*
Kitsune: OoO... what's this? A woman?
*The kitsune shapeshifts into smoking hot sexy Calvin Klein model looking guy in traditional Japanese garb*
Kitsune: Will this please the lady?..
*Thaddeus gets up and grumbles*
Thaddeus: Stop that, Spirit!

*Rachel takes a step back, and jumps slightly.*
Rachel: Yes.. I am! Now please stay back!
*She frowns at the shapeshift, and shakes her head.*
Rachel: What... please? No. You are weird.
*Crosses her arm, and holds a pouty face.*
Rachel: Thaddy can I hurt this spirit?

*The kitsune grins happily and POOFS back into her cute form*
Kitsune: Thaddy? Is that your name, human?
*She POOFS over to Thaddeus and floats by his shoulder as she begins to play with his hair*
Thaddeus: The spirit could help us find supplies, Rachel.
*Thaddeus appears unamused as his hair is played with*
Thaddeus: Spirit, please guide us to the nearest water supply*
*The kitsune grins and floats above the 2 of them*
Kitsune: I can certainly do that... if.....
*Thaddeus grumbles slightly*
Thaddeus: If what?
Kitsune: Tell me your real name!
*She smiles preciously and sits on her little kitsune cloud*

*Denny keeps walking along, quite indifferent about everyone but Jake*

~

*Tala rests*

~

*Elise stumbles back, and lands on her ass as the seriousness of the situation actually hits her*

~

*Illidan cuts a swathe through the demons and skeletons to get down into his jail, sighs in resentment at finding all of his jailers and Illidari dead, all of them caught in a fatal last stand, then keeps moving towards Maiev's cell*
*She laughs cruelly as he approaches*
M: They all fought honourably. At least as honourably as they could, seeing how they're all demons.
I: You know NOTHING, Warden. They all willingly gave their life for a cause. Would you do the same?
M: Let me out of this cage, and I;ll show you just what I'd be willing to die for.
I: ...Yes, yes I might just do that, Warden.
*She clenches her teeth, and readies herself to fight with her hands if she needs to*
*Illidan brings his glaive down on the cell lock, and breaks it in two, because his magic and the magic of his glaives beats the enchantment he put on the door*
I: Get out. Go find your things.
*Maiev doesn't move, and just stares at Illidan*
M: Why?
I: Because we will have need of each other in the next few days. Then you are going back into your cell like you deserve.
M: I seem to recall a certain someone doing the same to you, several thousand years ago. You never got back into your cell you deserved.
I: I... Tyrande did what was best for our people, and you know it.
M: What she did was murder my kin, my warriors, all for you to betray us again.
I: Think what you must, but I did what I had to do for Azeroth to survive.
M: Tell that to my Watchers. Tell that to Nisha.
I: You should have died with them, Warden. It would have spared you much.
M: And then justice would not be served. I will see you punished for your crimes.
I: And I yours, Warden. Now get moving. We have little time.
*Maiev grunts, and grits her teeth, but steps out of the cell, feeling her magic returning back to her body after exiting the restraining spell of the cell, then turns, and follows Illidan to where he was keeping her armour*

*Iris hears Rachel's screech and runs towards the sound, wincing slightly cause she took off her shoes to dip her feet in a small stream she found*
Iris: Rachel!? Are you alright!?


*Gharn begins to stir weakly as blood dries over him*


*Artix watches the others with curiosity as he hasn't seen anything like a Spartan or Gunslingers before*

*Rachel still looks pouty, and her arms are still crossed.*
Rachel: Are you sure? She is touching your hair.. *mumbles.* stop touching my senpai.
*Frowns at the floating kitsune, and sighs.*
Rachel: I am Rachel. Happy?
*Turns towards Iris's voice.*
Rachel: We are okay friend Iris... just some spirit... animal... thing is here.

---
*Jake keeps pace with Denny, and remains alert.*
*Eddie walks along without a care in the world.*

*Iris breathes a small sigh of relief and heads towards Rachel*
Iris: A spirit animal thing?
*Comes through the bushes and pauses*
Iris: What have we here?


*Artix is looking around idly for any undead. Eventually he starts to whistle tunelessly*

*Thaddeus is reluctant to answer*
Thaddeus: I am Thaddeus...
*The Kitsune brightens up adorably and she tackles Thaddeus again and gives him a kiss right on the lips*
Kitsune: I am Yuki the forest kitsune and I am now your familiar!!!
*Thaddues blushes wildly and flails and the Kitsune turns into a flaming little white fox*
Thaddeus: What on earth?!
*Thaddeus touches his lips*
Thaddeus: Explain yourself, Yuki!
Yuki: I sealed the contract to be your familiar. I am now you usable weapon and guide to the supernatural.

*Iris smiles at Yuki's actions but puts her hand over her mouth to conceal it*
Iris: Looks like you've made a friend!

Rachel: I don't know Iris, but I don-
*Watches Thaddeus get kissed by Yuki, and looses her gak. Her blood boils, and purple energy burns off her.*
Rachel: Nobody. Touches. My. Senpai.
*Her eyes glow bright purple, and she stomps up to Yuki.*
Rachel: I will make you pay for touching him in such a manner!
*Raises her hand, and a purple ball of energy forms in her palm.*

*Yuki cowers adorably with fear despite being a 3000 year old forest spirit*
Yuki: Master! Master!! This lady is scarying meee!!
*Yuki pouts and tears up as she goes to hide behind Thaddeus*
Thaddeus: Please no fighting... Spirit. Guide us to the water. No more of your silly tricks. They make me unhappy.
*Thaddeus shoots a knowing look at Rachel to calm her down*
*Yukie pouts at the order*
Yuki: oh fineeeee... poopy pants.
*She leads them to a running brook*

*Iris gasps*
Iris: Rachel no!
*Takes a few steps forwards and looks at Thaddeus as he disarms the situation*
*She then follows after them, looking at Rachel worriedly*

Rachel: You better be scared, I ought to-
*Rachel looks over at Thaddeus, and obey's. She lowers her glowing hand, and grumbles.*
Rachel: Fine.. stupid spirit.. touching my senpai...
*She catches Thaddeus's look and her features soften.*
Rachel: Better not make my Senpai unhappy.. C'mon Iris this spirit better lead us to water. Or else.
*Follows after Thaddeus, arms crossed.*

*Two of the burning psychos throw themselves at Zoey swinging their axes*

Bpsycho: Time to play! Time to play! HA HA HA!

*The nomads and marauders take cover*

*The midgets charge at the trio but are so short they are hidden by almost every bit of cover*

*Remus continues panting on the ground*

*Curt listens*

Curt: Well. God that story made me think of Jumanji... Honestly don't know why.

*He grins like a cheeky feth*

Curt: I'ma call you old fart now. I hope you mind.

*The Kitsune giggles preciously and leads them to a babbling brooke*
Yuki: Here you are!!
*She looks at Iris and poofs next to her*
Yuki: Ohh... you're beautiful!!
*She flirts shamelessly and her plump little cheeks are red with happiness *
Thaddeus: That's enough spirit....

*Rachel frowns at Yuki, arms still crossed.*
Rachel: Leave Iris alone, spirit. *looks over at Thaddeus, and whispers* I don't trust her. She is weird.
*She sighs, and lets her hands fall to her sides.*
Rachel: At least she found water..
*She walks up to the brooke, and crouches down to wash her face.*

---
*Zoey smashes the first psycho's head in with her M6.*
*Slices down the next one with her energy blade.*

*Iris's skin finally changes to flash yellow briefly as she smiles at Yuki*
Iris: Well thank you Spirit!
*She finds Yuki more amusing than threatening*


*Black Hawk frowns*
BH: Jumanji? I could see a few parallels... thought that's more based in African animals and folklore, not American
*He glares at Curt*
I've killed for less smartass, so why don't you concentrate on driving?


*Billy steps from cover and smashes the heel of his boot into a midget's face before opening fire on anything that moves except for Zoey*

*Kara breaks the embrace to stare at Gandrea*
K: I need to see if the Illidari camp survived. I want you to stay with Elise, alright?
*glances back at Daveth, and her expression turns into an ugly hatred*
K: If either of them get hurt, I'll make sure that you regret leaving Lusacan's cave.

*Voskrinod nods*
V: I don't start fights with Witchers. Or anyone that doesn't deserve it.

*Santiago sighs and tilts his head to look at Joalia*
S: No use looking in the dark for people. Let's find a river, set up camp, and go back to looking in the morning.

*Wade opens fire on the psychos, aiming for kneecaps and their stomachs before killing blows*
DP: Yeah, it was a tragic story. From the very start of it all she was left for dead
*starts giggling like a madman while still shooting*

*Curt chuckles*

Curt: I'm not going that fast. But hey lets try and come up with a plan for our next move after we get onto this hill.

*Remus groans*

*Cal finally finishes the messy task of removing a limb from the bear and drags it over to Remus*
Cal: Here boy, I know it's not much but eat up.
*Hands over a day old bear leg*


*Ra is still wandering around and maybe heads towards Santiago and Joalia?*

*Santiago's sensors pick up Ra and he drops to a crouch and raises his shotgun (still has Joalia on his back)*
*gives an imperceptible sigh of relief when he recognizes it as Ra, and lowers his gun*
S: At least someone else survived. I tried comms to find someone else, but never got a response.

*Ra is covered from head to toe in ash but nods*
Ra: You're both alright? And you haven't seen anyone else?
*Looks worried*

*Veck, Greyfax, and Freya are walking around kind of aimlessly*
*Veck is trying to reach someone with his helmet vox*
*Milo is quite possibly dead*

*Brunor nods to Vosk.*
Brunor: Good... too damn tired to fight. I am Brunor.
*He then gestures to the sleeping Tala.*
Brunor: This is Tala. What is your name dragon?

*Santiago nods*
S: We're fine. But no, we haven't seen anyone else.
*sighs*
S: They're strong. I'm sure that they're just lost, waiting to be found.

*Voskrinod nods*
V: Voskrinod. A pleasure to meet you. And agreed, we have plenty of enemies the way it is.

*Brunor nods back.*
Brunor: Yes.. almost seems like a convergence of some kind. What kind of dragon are you.

*Ra nods*
Ra: I hope so...
*Sits down heavily, and a cloud of dust flies off him*
*He looks down at himself*
Ra: I should probably find somewhere to wash up...

*The trio get pounded with gunfire as the 2 remaining psychos run at Wade and tackle him*

*The last remaining midget walks up next to Zoey and blasts her sending himself flying backwards*

*Remus eats the food and remains laying there*

*Curt discuses plans with BH*

*Black Hawk still thinks it's best to go to the cave unless they pick up signals from somewhere or run into someone*


*Billy dives behind cover then loads his rifle with 3 HE rounds, pops up and fires at the marauders*


*Cal pats Remus's snout*
Cal: Good boy.. You wanna go see Dria and Morgan?

*Maria, Marla and Marinalia eventually escape room and start heading North as less populated and hope fully less chance of daemons etc*

*Maria on helmet short range comms but no room or such systems to boost signal*
Anyone hearing this. We got out. Maria, Marinalia, Marla. We are headed North to mountains. Please respond.

*Marinalia tries phoning Morgan, Dira, etc but doubts they get signal or any messages even work as minus room there may not be the comms infrastructure *

*all 3 carefully headed away from room and kinda shocked a enemy took the room this time. *

...

*Furia wakes up wherever Thoeth took her and Calluna, look round and relise there deep in the forests I guess. *

*Remus groans not having the strength tho move*

*He makes a low rumbling noise*

*Curt agrees with BH and continues towards the cave at a moderate pace*

*Long as the area isn't populated, there aren't many demons, so if there's settlements, there will be a lot of demons*

~

*Joal doesn't smile*

~

*Tala remains asleep*

~

*Denny drops Gharn once she notices he's starting to wake up*
D: Get up. Make yourself useful and sniff out some water or something.

~

*Maiev walks behind Illidan for a while, cause she doesn't have any weapons, until they finally get to where he stashed her armour*
M: You leave this in such a poorly protected location. I would have thought someone of your age would know better.
I: There are usually more guards. And nobody has escaped my jail. Well, nobody except-
M: Me.
I: ...Yes... You.
*No more words are exchanged, and Maiev gets dressed in her armour while Illidan watches her, which she doesn't bring up*
*She finally finishes, and brandishes her glaive*
M: We can end this now. Just you, and me.
I: We have more pressing matters, Warden. Let go of your hatred for a few moments, and think about what's important to you. Who, is important to you.
*Maiev pauses, as the realization finally gets to her, and she almost drops her glaive*
M: K-Kara...
I: Is alive. I saw her in the establishment while it was under siege.
M: Is she... Doing... Okay?
I: She seems to have embraced the demon, just like I have. Seems to me what you love the most is turning into the thing you swore to destroy.
M: No, she's different! She is... Different...
*She can't help but think back to the last time she saw Kara, and how much she changed*
M: She's different...
I: Indeed, she is. Now let's get moving before more of the accursed spawns come.
M: ...Reminds you of the Tomb of Sargeras, doesn't it?
I: It does. The only other time you put aside your hatred for me.
M: I should have gutted you then and there.
I: And I should have thrown you to Gul'dan, see how he would have dealt with you.
*Maiev growls, but remains silent and follows Illidan as he fights his way back out of his jail*

~

*Gandrea frowns slightly, but realizes that Maiev could be in danger, and nods*
*She hugs Kara again, then giggles at her threat to Daveth*
*Elise awkwardly shuffles her feet, then hugs Kara*
E: Be safe, and get her back to us alive.
*Gandrea waves, and starts drawing explosive runes on the tree she's leaning on*

*Gharn grunts in pain but blindly does as requested*
*He bulks up slightly as his face morphs a little and his eyes turn gold*
*He drags himself up on all fours, wipes the blood from his face and sniffs several times*
Gharn: East... Water in the east... Close... less than a mile
*Artix moves over to help Gharn*
Artix: Easy fella, you took quite a beating back there! Really showed them!


*Ra nods to Joalia*
Ra: Good to see you again, even if it under these circumstances


*Thoth is passed out leaning up against a tree with Calluna in his lap also asleep*


*Dria is still unconscious in a corner of the clearing where Morgan cradles her head in his lap, looking pale and worried*


*Cal frowns worriedly*
Cal: You rest up, I'll see if I can't get you some more to eat... Just be safe Remus. Dria would be devastated if you died...

*they are evading settlements as no real condition to fight a army, low or zero on ammo also as the armoury was over run a long time ago*

*Heads North and try to make some radio comms but again range is pretty damn short without the hardware at room and more powerful comms set up*

*headed to OT because i have one idea that might be able to work with this new scenario and come across anyone along the way if I happen to, if they want to*

*all 3 making a steady quiet pace trying not to attract attention too much*

Ooc I'm trying on making the posts easier to read. System may take a while to perfect into a end outcome though.

*Denny waits a few minutes for Gharn to catch his breath, then looks at Artix*
D: Carry him, or support him, I don't care. We're leaving.

~

*Joal sniffles, and nods her head solemnly*
*She tries smiling, but just can't, so she just pulls out her memory box, and looks into it*
*She can't smile, but she does feel a bit better*

*Artix frowns*
Artix: Real ray of sunshine you are...
*Gharn glares at him then stands weakly and nods to Denny, swaying as he moves*
Gharn: I follow you Ho-Khazet. Lead on. Water is to the East
*Despite Denny generally being a jerk he still holds her in high respect*


*Ain't none of mine anywhere near the martians*

*Curt gets to the mountains with BH*

Curt: So where is this cave or whatever?

*Curt is still driving one handed cus the other arms is pretty fethed*

*Remus lays there lacking any strength*

*Jake takes the few free minutes to wrap a arm around Denny with his free hand.*
Jake: I'll keep watch... everythings going to be okay.
*He nods to her knowingly, and starts following Gharn when he is up.*
*Ignores Artix.*

---
*Zoey's shield crackles from the shot, and she looks over at the midget and frowns.*
Zoey: Little gak.
*She swiftly runs up to the midget, and punts him.*

*Denny nods curtly at Jake, then starts walking once Gharn is able, albeit at a slow pace for Gharn to keep up, though she tries masking her real reasoning behind it with caution, so she sweeps the area with the sights of the gatling-gun a few times*
*She walks towards the east, cause east is beast*

~

*Clumps of skeletons and demons migrate around the entire world, looking for survivors*
*The big players in charge laugh at their fun game*

*Martians start looking for a safer place to camp and rest up for a few hours*

*head to a small sheltered rock ledge that keeps them out the wind and one keeps watch for threats*

*don't light a fire or such totally obvious signs in unknown territory *
*generally resting and trying to get bearings which part of the Forrest they are in*

Ooc gonna be bit more busy now on till evening so just going to leave them stopped for abit.

*Torgue laughs at a midget getting kicked*

*The midget crashes into a pile of boxes*

*A marauder gets blown to bits by one of Billy's rounds*

*The others take eventually get mowed down with relative ease*

*Kara returns both hugs and nods*
*turns and heads towards the Illidari camp without another word*
*Daveth puts an arm on Elise's shoulder

*Santiago nods and puts a hand on Joalia's shoulder*
S: Let's find water, then figure out our next step.

*Voskrinod smiles*
V: Draconis A golden dragon. Or, "A fight worth Freyja's tits" as skelligans might put it.

*Wade grins as he teleports on top of the psychos that tackled him, and promptly headshots them repeatedly*
DP: There's only room for one psycho here.

*The Kitsune spends her time studying Iris adorably*
Kitsune: Are you a goddess, Miss?!
*The Kitsune is poofing about and being friendly*
*Thaddeus pinches the bridge of his nose*
Thaddeus: what are we to do?...

*Torgue pops up on the trio's HUD*

Torgue: Kid with the gun! I like your style! Explosions are the best way to do anything. Now I gotta warn ya-!

*Scorch cuts in*

Scorch: NO! Come on Torgue! You keep telling them all my plans!

TORGUE: YES!

Scorch: Can you not?

TORGUE: YES!

Scorch: Will you not?

TORGUE: Alright!

*Scorch sighs*

Scorch: Thank you...

*The Trio is free to progress*

*Wade giggles*
DP: Scorch! I wanna talk!

*Scorch sighs again*

Scorch: What is it spandex boy?

*Rachel frowns at Yuki harassing Iris, but happy she is no longer touching or harassing Thaddeus.*
*She looks over at Thaddeus and frowns at his comment.*
Rachel: What's wrong, Thaddy?
*Instinctively hugs his arm, and looks up at him with her innocent purple eyes.*

---
*Zoey sighs.*
Zoey: Lets just kill him and be done with it.

*Thaddeus refuses to taint Rachel's content mood*
Thaddeus: Nothing serious, Rachel. Simply the casual worries of our home and those demons... also, being kissed by a spirit is a new thing for me...
*Thaddeus looks confused at the Kitsune*
Thaddeus: We must be alert, Rachel... I do not know the ways or customs of this spirit..
*The Kitsune is now in it's fluffy fox form. She is prancing about and causing a little show with her fox fire*

*Thaddeus refuses to taint Rachel's content mood*
Thaddeus: Nothing serious, Rachel. Simply the casual worries of our home and those demons... also, being kissed by a spirit is a new thing for me...
*Thaddeus looks confused at the Kitsune*
Thaddeus: We must be alert, Rachel... I do not know the ways or customs of this spirit..
*The Kitsune is now in it's fluffy fox form. She is prancing about and causing a little show with her fox fire*

*Rachel's nods, her head looking determined.*
Rachel: Don't worry, I will handle her if she does anything. *mumbles,* Especially kissing you.
*She looks up at Thaddeus, and tilts her head.*
Rachel: W-was that your first kiss? Or have you done it before?

*Thaddeus rubs the back of his neck*
Thaddeus: In all honesty, That was the first time I have ever been kissed. However, It wasn't consensual...
*Thaddues chuckles light heartedly and looks over at Yuki *
Thaddeus: She's almost like a child..

*Rachel's eyes widen, and a look of sadness crosses her face.*
Rachel: She stole your first kiss! Th-that isn't right!
*She buries her face into Thaddeus arm to hide her brewing tears.*
Rachel(muffled): It's not fair. I'm sorry, I should have stopped her.
*Rachel scolds herself harshly for not kissing Thaddeus on the lips, even though he was drunk at the time.*

*Thaddeus tilts his head slightly*
Thaddeus: No worries, Rachel. A kiss is something that is special between two people. A true kiss is never onesided...
*Thaddues plants a kiss on Rachel's forehead*

*Rachel shivers at the kiss on her forehead, and tightens her grip on Thaddeus's arm.*
Rachel: O-okay.. I just wish...
*She sighs, and wipes away her brewing tears.*
Rachel: Nevermind... I'll keep a eye on her.
*Subtly kisses Thaddeus's arm, and shivers again.*

*Thaddeus looks down at Rachel and raises an eye brow*
Thaddeus: You're shivering, Little one...
*He smiles lightly and finds a log to sit on. He pulls Rachel into his lap gently *
Thaddeus: you aren't feeling sick, are you?
*He looks worries and places his hand gently on her forehead*

*Rachel shivers again at being pulled onto Thaddeus lap, and hugs his chest.*
Rachel: I-I'm okay.. just.. fine..
*She looks up at him, and tries not to shiver at his touch.*
Rachel: I'm okay really!
*Rach grabs Thaddeus's hand from her head, and gives him a reassuring smile. As she does this she lightly squeezes his hand, and holds it to her cheek. Her cheeks and forehead aren't warm to the touch.*
Rachel: See, I'm fine..

*Thaddeus raises an eyebrow as he slowly realizes*
Thaddeus: My... My...
*He places Rachel off of his lap and respectfully next to him*
Thaddeus: I apologize if my touch is too much for you...
*He fights his urges and takes a deep breath while leaning into Rachel. He whispers to her*
Thaddeus: But I must say...-
*He is cut off by Yuki smothering him*
Yuki: Master! Master!!
*She is giggling adorably and unaware that she has ruined a romantic moment*
Thaddeus: Yuki...
*Yuki poofs up to a tree in her fox form*
Yuki: Let's play a game!

*Rachel shakes her head.*
Rachel: No, it's okay-
*Her heart races when Thaddeus leans in , and whispers.*
She thinks: This is it! This is our-
*Utter rage consumes her at Yuki's interruption.*
Rachel: Can't you leave us alone, spirit!
*Crosses her arms, and makes a pouty face at Yuki.*
Rachel: No he doesn't want to play games with you!

*Iris smiles*
Iris: Yes Yuki, I am a goddess, in a manner of speaking.
*She smiles and smiles at Rachel*
Iris: I'll play with you if you want Yuki.
*Realizes exactly what Yuki interrupted and while she still finds the kitsune's obliviousness and childlike nature amusing she realizes that she's annoying Rachel*


*Black Hawk points out the cave in the side of the mounting up a narrow path*
BH: There. We can use it for shelter.


*Billy grins*
Billy: Thanks mister Savage, now let's get this done!
*Advances once more*


*Horus wakes up and starts looking around worriedly for Iris until Mergoux tells him she went off with Thaddeus and Rachel*
Horus: Well at least she's not alone...


*Artix moves to let Gharn lean on him but Gharn shrugs him off and limps on after Denny towards water*
Gharn: Should be close... Couldn't have smelled it if it was more than 2 miles...
*Looks around and perks up his ears for a chance to hear it*


*Cal goes back towards his kids and Thoth*

*Yuki pouts and whines*
Yuki: Awwww... but Master...
*Thaddeus waves Yuki off*
Thaddeus: Yuki, I need you to guard the area please..
*He takes an authoritative tone in his voice. Instantly the Kitsune lightens up and salutes like a little soldier*
Yuki: Yes, Sir!
*She goes to guard the area but gets distracted and goes to play with Iris*
Thaddeus: Good grief...
Yuki: Miss Iris!!
*Yuki goes to hug Iris*

*Iris smiles and hugs back lightly, probably towering over Yuki cause she's 7 feet tall*
*Her skin is finally a solid yellow as both Yuki combined with Rachel and Thaddeus together have raised her spirits considerably*
Iris: There's no need for 'miss'. Iris will do just fine.
*She smiles over Yuki's shoulders at the couple and discretely waves them off and mouths "Go, I'll keep her busy"*

*Rachel exhales, and watches Yuki run off.*
Rachel: Yes, she is strange... and annoying..
*She feels slightly bad for Iris dealing with the spirit, but happy Yuki is gone.*
Rachel: Er.. what were you saying?
*Rachel sounds timid, afraid the romantic moment is long past.*

*Thaddeus looks down at Rachel*
Thaddeus: Ah, yes.. I must say.. you look absolutely beautiful Rachel. Always.
*Thaddeus smiles charmingly and takes Rachel's hand boldly*
Thaddeus: You are a very special person to me, little one.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Yuki giggle and poofs into a larger version of herself*
Yuki: Yes, Iris! I want to look like you!
*The Kitsune transforms into a carbon copy of Iris and she does a silly pose*
Yuki: Look here! The game is simple. I wish to test my shapeshifting skills! You command me to change into anyone and I will do so!
*The spirit laughs with mischief as she wishes to pull pranks and be utterly silly*

*Iris looks very surprised, her skin changing to a pale lime green in mild envy of Yuki's power*
Iris: Wow! That incredible!
*Walks in a slow circle checking that everything is copied to the letter*
Iris: Wow...
*Grins*
Iris: Well then why don't we try...
*Starts listing things off for Yuki to change into, impressed at her abilities*

OOC: Probs the last post for several hours. Gotta go to the Dentist

*Rachel redden at the complement, and sounds even more timid.*
Rachel: I...am? Th-thank you.. You're... handsome.. very handsome.
*Curses herself for sounding so stupid. She looks somewhat surprised at her hand being grabbed.*
Rachel: You.. You're very special to me too..
*Rach interlocks her fingers with Thaddeus, and stares up at him in awe.*

*Thaddeus looks amused and strokes a bit of Rachel's hair *
Thaddeus: Oh? Why thank you...
*He smiles and his dark gaze examines her*
Thaddeus: perhaps when we escape this plight...
*He pauses for a bit and for the first time he blushes slightly*
Thaddeus: ..we'll see..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Yuki giggles ans transforms into a very attractive man that is slightly taller than Iris*
Yuki: Do you mind if I flirt with you, a Goddess?
*The Kitsune smirks with mischief and he winks at Iris playfully*
Yuki: Or perhaps you would enjoy a beautiful woman to speak with?
*Yuki is smiling brightly in good fun*

*Rachel smiles up at Thaddeus, and enjoys her hair being touched.*
Rachel: Your welcome..
*She looks confused at his remark.*
Rachel: What do you mean? Is something wrong?
*Rach notices Thaddeus turning red, and places a hand on his cheek.*
Rachel: Your... blushing... I've never seen you blush before.

*Thaddeus charmingly accepts being called out*
Thaddeus: Yes, my kitten... You've made your Senpai blush..
*Thaddeus can't resist the urge anymore and he lifts Rachel's chin and meets her lips with his in a gentle kiss*
Thaddeus: I've been wanting to do that for a while now.

*Rachel closes her eyes, and returns the kiss. When her eyes open they are glowing purple, and she shivers with excitement.*
Rachel: I... have too... wanting to... kiss you...
*She sounds drunk or unfocused, and is still shivering with excitement.*
Rachel: May... may we do that again?

*Thaddeus chuckles with amusement*
Thaddeus: We may.. but lets wait till we have a more... private setting..
*Thaddeus can see Yuki making eyes at the 2 of them*
Thaddeus: Silly Spirit....
*Thaddeus chuckles and looks back at Rachel *

*Rachel nods, and leans her head on Thaddeus's chest.*
Rachel: Private? Okay...That sounds wonderful..
*She looks over at Yuki staring at them, and looks slightly embarrassed.*
Rachel: She.. is very silly.
*Smiles when she hears Thaddeus chuckle, and nuzzles his chest happily.*
Rachel: Glad I found you again, Senpai.

*Wade grins*
DP: What's your favorite color? You got any pets? What do you like to do on your weekends? What's your favorite song? I've got a couple that I like, but it's hard to pick a favorite, yknow?

*illidan finally fights his way out of the jail, then looks around as even more demons than when he arrived at the camp start swarming*
I: Distract them.
*Maiev goes to refuse, but Illidan is already in the air, conjuring a spell*
*Maiev sighs, test swings her glaive a few times cause she's a bit out of practice, then blinks into the middle of the horde, and starts turning demons into mince*

~

*Denny eventually leads the group to the water source, and sits down heavily on the ground once she's made sure the area is secure*
*She whips off her helmet, and plants it into the ground*
D: Apocalypse cometh, huh.

~

*Elise hugs Daveth, then pulls him along to sit next to Gandrea*
E: Lighting a fire is too risky, we should just wait in silence.

~

*Joal is hungry*
*She pokes around the grass with her tail for things to eat*
*She finds a few insects and stuff, but she doesn't eat those*

~

*Tala wakes up and yawns, then bites Brunor's neck gently*
T: I'm awake, are we getting attacked again?

*Gharn staggers into the river or creek or pond or what-have you and ducks down, grunting in pain as the water washes away the blood from his wounds and the dried blood from his body*
*Splashes noisily and surfaces, shaking water from his hair*


*Artix kneels and takes a few handfuls of water then looks around*
Artix: It would certainly seem that way miss.


*Iris smiles brightly*
Iris: Flirt with me all you like, I'm used to it. Before I was Iris I was known as Aphrodite, the goddess of love.
*She smirks*
Iris: I would enjoy whatever you feel comfortable with.
*She pretends not to notice Rachel and Thaddy but is practically glowing yellow with her happiness for them both*

*Yuki makes a silly face in their direction*
Yuki: Love? Love shmove..
*he sticks his tongue out playfully but his sparkling eyes shimmer with unspoken depth*
Yuki: It's all in good fun!!
*Yuki giggles and transforms into her elegant form, her japanese garments and cute fox ears radiate beautifully*
Yuki: Lucky for you, I'm used to flirting!
*Yuki winks previously and chuckles with happiness*
~~~~~~~~~~~
*Thaddeus nods in agreement with Rachel*
Thaddeus: That spirit has a lot of energy.. but something does seem off...
*He looks deep in thought and with one hand he slicks back his luscious dark hair*
Thaddeus: I am glad I can once again be by your side... despite the loss of our home... things will sort out in time, I am sure.
*He flashes a reassuring smile to little Rachel and stares at her for a bit*

*Iris frowns and speaks sharply, her skin flashing red for a moment*
Iris: Hey! Don't speak that way. Love is more powerful than any other force in this universe.
*Looks stern for a moment then calms down, skin turning back to a calm soft blue*
Iris: So is this your true form?

*Rachel looks up at Thaddeu.*
Rachel: If she gets out of line, I'll handle her.
*She leans on Thaddeus more.*
Rachel: I don't care about a home, or a room... Just happy to have you.
*Smiles up at Thaddeus, and stares back into his eyes.*

---
*Jake nods.*
Jake: This is a fething mess.. what happened? Why are we under attack like this?
*He still remains on alert, especially with Denny taking her helm off.*

---
*Brunor smiles at Tala's bite.*
Bruno: No... they are our allies..
*He looks at her with real concern, and gently combs back her hair.*
Brunor: Feeling better?

*Yuki tilts her head innocently*
Yuki: Can it be that love is only for the mortals? As a spirit... if I were to ever fall in love with a mortal.. they would die on me. For they are only of the flesh! Plus... spirits don't understand the whole love thing...
*The lovely Kitsune looked away for a moment, as if she felt soemthing other than happiness.*
Yuki: Anywaaayyy..My true form is a FoxFire Ball!
*Yuki giggles innocently but there is depth and saddness as she speaks of the incapability to understand and grasp the meaning of love, nevertheless she smiles and puts on a playful fire show for Iris*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Thaddeus chuckles and gives Rachel a gentle kiss on the cheek*
Thaddeus: You know... this is all new to me.. being with someone..
*His natural charm almost makes it impossible to believe he has never had a partner*
Thaddeus: I have only ever had time for my work... I was married to my work entirely.
*Thaddeus looks up at the sky and stretches casually*
Thaddeus: I never thought I was actually missing out...

*Yuki tilts her head innocently*
Yuki: Can it be that love is only for the mortals? As a spirit... if I were to ever fall in love with a mortal.. they would die on me. For they are only of the flesh! Plus... spirits don't understand the whole love thing...

*Iris smiles*
Iris: There are those who don't age. I know several men and women who are immortal.
*She catches on to the sadness and feels for the Spirit.
Iris: Perhaps one day, if you are lucky, you will understand.
*She smiles kindly then enjoys the show*
Iris: You certainly have a talent for this!


*Artix shrugs*


*Gharn wades from the water, shakes himself off and collapses on the bank*

*Denny runs a hand through her hair, and stares off into the distance*
D: I... I don't know. This is the first time we've been kicked out of our home, that's for sure.
*She is pretty shaken, but she's a Spartan, so she puts it behind her and tries coming up with a gameplan*

~

*Tala yawns, and nods*
T: I'm okay, but I won't be able to do much without more power.
*She tries summoning some more fulgurbugs, but none come, cause they're away*

*Rachel nods back, and smiles at the kiss.*
Rachel: This is new to me too.. Elise taught me a good deal, but I'm still new to all of this.
*She watches him stretch, and her heart skips a beat.*
Rachel: I-I hope to make you happy... th-that's all I want for you.
*Rach hugs Thaddeus, kisses his shoulder, and then goes back to staring at him.*

---
Jake: It's okay Den... We'll get through this..
*Jake opens his bag, and Oy hops out looking dirty and battered.*
Jake: How you doing Oy.
Oy: Oy ine! Ake, enny afe?
*Jake nods back to the little billy bumbler, then takes his place next to Denny, and wraps a arm around his Ka-mate.*
*Oy drinks some water.*

---
*Brunor nods, and kisses the top of Tala's head.*
Brunor: You relax then.. I don't want you to strain yourself.
*Keeps combing back her white hair.*

*The Kitsune refuses to be anything but jovial and pleasant
Yuki: Not sure if they could handle this fox!!
*Yuki chuckles and winks jokingly to Iris*
Yuki: What kind of powers do you have, Iris?
*Yuki shapeshifts into an adorable little fox child and sits down at Iris's feet for 'storytime'*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Thaddeus raises an eyebrow at the mention of Elise's teachings*
Thaddeus: Gracious..
*His gaze softens as he listens to Rachel*
Thaddeus: You job is not to please me.. it's to be who you are and allow me to love you. We can make eachother very happy, little one.
*Thaddeus whispers something gentle that almost seems to be swept away with the rustling of the leaves*
//"Warm.."//

*Rachel smiles and remembers her talk with Elise on the birds and the bees.*
Rachel: Yes she told me lots of things... it was... very embarrassing.
*She giggles, then nods to Thaddeus.*
Rachel: Okay, I will do my best...my love. *She giggles again.* And you already make me happy, so you don't have to do much!
*Rach looks up missing the words Thaddeus says.*
Rachel: What'd you say?

*Iris smiles*
Iris: Perhaps!
*She sits crosslegged*
Iris: Well I've lost quite a bit of power since I was Aphrodite, but...
*She activates her aura, glowing a rainbow of colors thinks for a moment and creates a blue denim jacket over her shirt then draws some water from the stream and makes it spiral through the air via water magic*


*Artix smiles at Oy*
Artix: Well hello there!
*Looks surprised to heat Oy talk*
Artix: You can speak!?


*Gharn is pretty shaken too but more by the undead and demons than losing his home because been there done that.*
*He groans and sits up and looks at Denny and Jake*
Gharn: Dria... did you see Dria escape?

*Jake shrugs.*
Jake: I didn't see if she made it Gharn, I am sorry... But I'm sure she did.
*He lights up a cigarette, and runs a hand through his dirty blonde hair.*
Jake: Just rest... we'll be moving out soon.
*Offers cigarette to Denny.*

---
*Oy frowns at Artix.*
Oy: I Oy! Ello!
*Goes back to lapping up water, then goes into the water, and meticulously cleans his fur.*

*Yuki squeaks with happiness and excitement and claps at the display*
Yuki: That's wonderful!!... Iris...
*Yuki tilts her head with curiosity*
Yuki: Why did you stop being Aphrodite?..
*Yuki looks up at Iris with innocence and anticipation as she waits to hear why*
Yuki: why did you lose so much power?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Thaddeus chuckles at Rachel with amusement and places a hand on her head*
Thaddues: worry not, Rachel.
//"I feel so warm inside. Such an odd feeling.."//
Thaddeus: How long will you live, Rachel?
*He takes on a serious tone and looks down at her*

*Denny watches Oy quietly, and puts an arm around Jake's shoulders*
D: I hope so.
*Takes the offered ciggie*

*Tala nods, and lets Brunor groom her hair*
*She's tempted to lick-groom him, but the situation is a bit dire for that*

~

*All over the world, the shadow domes dissipate, leaving giant black citadels in their wake wherever the settlements were*
*War cries and drums ring through the citadels, going deep into the forest, and right over the sea*
*The demon armies muster for war, cause this gak hasn't even started*
