*Veck emerges from the bunker after failing to get a signal through and goes looking for the other Room survivors*
*Greyfax walks behind him*

*Voskrinod shakes his head*
V: I don't have much of a use for money. Besides, I hardly did anything worth money, I was just helping you.

*Furia follows the trail extremely carefully and quietly pausing multiple times to pick it up back again and work out which ones are decoys finding it hard to track Horus*

*Stops and looks round before turning to Ra*
Trail fresher.
Track difficult. Closer. Could decoy trail.
*speaks with a heavy accent of her homeland*

...

*Marinalia cuddles for a good while before sitting up slightly and tries to teach Morgan some basic Martian as never know when it Il come in handy to have 2 shared languages *

...


*Marla and Maria play Poker with the others and Marla seems to find the distraction helps abit keep things off her mind all the time *
*both sisters rusty at the game but still win odd hand and generally glad to be among fellow room members *

Ooc night.
Everyone pauses or rests, or whatever is best fitting there circumstances they are in.

*Morgan sits with Maril and learns quickly due to superior Elder brainpower*


*Merg nods*
Merg: Alright. Thanks again.
*sits on the bed and sharpens her sword*

*Curt looks up at Gorge*

Curt: Yeah I just wanted to know who was in charge. And just some simple questions like a survivor list. Tho I understand if he is to busy to see me currently. My questions are not very important.

*Gandrea remains silent, cause she's a bit embarrassed she didn't figure that she had to chew the pear herself*

~

*IF the assassins are heading towards the big main citadel, they're in for a really big surprise*

~

*Maiev sighs, and nods*
M: I know... But the thought of me losing you again...

~

*Denny walks out once Jake is ready, and looks around, her hand always on her M6*

*Veck keeps on looking for the other survivors but he's kinda clueless as to where everyone is*
*he's looking for other Imperial comm signals to help guide him*

*Kara nods and quickly hugs Maiev*
K: We're both making it out of this. All of this. Now come on, let's go get some people and kill demons.

*Maiev reluctantly nods, and lets Kara lead the way*
*She is kinda hoping she gets the chance to shank Kara*

*Kara takes the lead, following Illidan's directions to reach the camp*
*wouldn't expect getting shanked, cause the thought of Maiev (literally) backstabbing her is completely out of her mind*

*Thoth is still searching the planet, eradicating all before him in his anger*


*Calluna sits nervously in a corner*


*Merg comes out of her room and goes to try and find a gym or place to exercise again*

*The boy sits next to Calluna with more food, and smiles*
Boy: Are you hungry?

~

*Maiev bites her tongue and her lip at the prospect of backstabbing someone she never thought she'd have to backstab, and remains obedient beside Kara*
*She slips her hand into Kara's, and keeps walking, begging forgiveness in her mind*

*Calluna wipes her mouth and shakes her head*
*She speaks again, her voice slightly stronger now that it's being used*
Calluna: No. What now? Wait?

*Kara smiles at Maiev taking her hand, and notices her biting her lip*
K: You don't need to worry, Kadan.
*squeezes Maiev's hand and keeps walking*
K: We'll make it through this.

*Illidan stretches his neck, which pops with a satisfying noise of accomplishment*
I: You should probably be scared.
*He swoops down on Mannoroth, not really caring about his minions cause he can dispatch most of them with a swipe of his glaives*

~

*Maiev nods, and squeezes back*
M: I know... I'll make sure of it...

~

*The boy nods, and smiles*
Boy: Yup! Want to play some games?

Calluna is still cautious*
Calluna: Games? What games?

*The boy tilts his head, and smiles more*
Boy: How about we see who can do the better magic trick? Do you know any? I know a few...
*Emphasises this by making a bird pop out of his shirts collar, and has it hop around on his shoulder*
Boy: Your turn!

*Calluna jumps at the bird popping into existence then blinks nervously*
Calluna: Uhhh.. Magic tricks? Uhhh...
*She things for a minute then points her finger at the empty plate that had the dessert on it*
*A purple aura, smelling sharply of plums shimmers to life around her as the plate refills itself*
*Calluna sways slights*
Calluna: Ooooh... dizzy...

*Marinalia smiles and teaches him a few more slightly advanced bits of the language more than hello, basic words and simple phrases*
*teases slightly along the way slightly suprised how fast he picked up a languages. *

*tries in Martian*
Love you.

...

*Furia tracks to a empty cave and looks for further signs of tracks or marks*
They move on... Time ago.
World broken... Tracks work bad.

...

*Marla and Maria have gone over to a side table and talking quietly about stuff waving to anyone new in the eating area/communal room*

*Morgan smiles*
Morgan: (Martian) love you too.
*kisses Maril*


*Merg's still searching for a place to work out. Finding nothing for now she returns to her room, up ends her bed and starts doing pull ups, Sarah Connor style*


*Ra sighs*
Ra; Well then we follow them. If we can find Horus he'll be a great asset to us. He's the most powerful warrior in the galaxy

*Marinalia smiles and returns it*
*corrects slightly in Martian but explains in english*
Nearly perfect, extend the last as it confuses with the number.

*smiles happily and enjoys the company*
*seems to notice Morgan getting very slowly less awkward round her*

...

*Furia nods*
Can try...

Most powerful Crom... god of North.
Rest maybe... Track later.

*Morgan nods and smiles then repeats the message and the kiss*
Morgan: Better?


*Ra looks frantic*
Ra: We need to move!
*He sighs realizing Furia doesn't have his stamina*
Ra: Ugh... Fine. We rest for 3 hours, then we move again. Get some sleep. We'll not rest long, we can't afford to.

*Marinalia smiles*
Perfect. Shame could has fun practicing.
Where did the the person who went pink at slightest affection go ?
*laughs and hugs teasingly*
Not complaining. At all.

...

*Furia nods*
Rest... Need rest. Track hard.

*lies down in the small cave they used and rests*
*mutters in her native tongue, a fairly harsh sounding Northern language of the far Northern mountains she is far more proficient in*

*Morgan flushes slightly, automatically looks down then quickly looks back up as he realizes Maril still ain't wearing pants*
Morgan: I err... I don't know. I guess I've just grown more used to you is all.
*Smiles slightly*


*Ra makes a small fire and sits at the entrance to the cave, resting also*

*Marinalia notices*
You want me get dressed abit? though you can't look. Not like your a stranger!

I was just comfey... Kinda more than I normally sleep in..
Yeah.. I kinda admit I we have differences...

...

*Furia sleeps quietly and throws her cloak over self, and uses part to soften ground for her head and keep warm*

*Morgan flushes*
Morgan: N-no.. not if it'd make you uncomfortable.
*Eyes widen slightly at the comment on sleeping*
Morgan: You- Nevermind. Uhh... Yeah, differences it right
*Laughs awkwardly and smiles*


*Ra rests but doesn't sleep, instead keeping an eye out for enemies*


OOC: Oh, hey, 17K posts!

*Marinalia*

I... It kinda helps me balance temperature, Its hard to explain.
The whole heat semi immunity has a few downsides like my cold reaction.
Maria can explain it better than me... In full armour I can... But its just harder.

*Smiles *
Don,t worry... I can do fine like this.
I just need some skin exposed. Take things slow. Don,t wanna scare you off!


...

Ooc yay, 17k, 20k, we hit a few thousand marks this week.

*Morgan smiles*
Morgan: Oh, I don't think anything would scare me off anymore...
So, what do you want to do? More martian practice? I could maybe try to teach you Danu... but that's not designed for human vocal chords

*The boy rubs his chin and nods*
Boy: I see... Simple time reversal, or manifestation of matter...
*He shakes his head and smiles again*
Boy: Nevermind that. Take a break, then you can show me more later. For now, have a new friend! I call him Birdie Three!
*On cue, the little sparrow hops on over to Calluna and chirps happily*

*Calluna smiles every so slightly at the bird*
Calluna: Okay... M'tired...
*She curls up and quickly falls asleep, drained from her first use of auric power*

*Marinalia smiles and thinks a second*
I can try... May not be best student!

I mean I never was a natural, I speak old Martian and high gothic pretty flawlessly now, but I had to put alot of work into do so and nigh scraped a few exams.

I always took to flying. I passed my license at 15.

*tries but is somewhat a slow learner on languages and takes alot more time than Morgan*

*Morgan smiles and tries teaching Maril a few basic phrases and words*
Morgan: Now try back. Make the O's very long and remember 'cth' comes from the back of the throat.
*Teaches rather averagely as he's got the language down pretty well but has never really taught anyone anything*

*Marinalia tries best though still comes out somewhat forced and takes time to get the basic words recognizable if not slightly humanized*

I hope your patient. This might take you a while.
Least I might be able to suprise your family. *laughs slightly*

*Kara nods*
K: I believe you.
*turns her head away from Maiev to look at the forest around her*
K: We should be close to the camp now.

*Maiev slips her free hand onto the hilt of her dagger, bu hesitates, cause she didn't think that she wouldn't be able to pull off the deed when the time came*
*Her grip on both Kara's hand and her knife tightens as she tries to think of a way to stab Kara without stabbing her*
*Going about as well as it sounds*

~

*The boy watches Calluna sleep, and smiles to himself*
*He slowly seeps energy into Calluna while she sleeps, which isn't noticable, but it's a very faint corruption aura thing, nothing meaningful at the current time, but will become something a lot worse if he's given enough time to pump it into her*

*Kara squeezes Maiev's hand, assuming that Maiev tightened her grip cause she's still worried*
K: I know that you're worried, Kadan. But you can trust me.

*A figure walks into Cal's room, and places a advanced med kit on the ground in front of their door.*
Figure: We have no need for your aid...
*Walks away.*
---
*Emma laughs at Nero being called Devil hunter, Carver has no clue why, but marks it up as Emma insane mind playing tricks on her.*
Carver: Interesting, well I noticed that your pistol defies logic.
*The looming citadel stands infront of them, and the screams of people being tortured echo all about.*
*Emma keeps giggling.*

---
*George shrugs.*
George: As you wish, you may meet with the grand master.
*Starts walking to Jason's quarters, and motions for Curt to follow.*

---
*Jake get's dressed, and puts away his magnum.*
Jake: You wanna get some grub?

---
*Mannoroth minions back the feth up, but Mannoroth doesn't budge.*
Man: What do you want... your presence is unwelcome here.

---
*David sighs, and covers his face, cause he can feel the pain of the world.*

*Curt nods*

Curt: Grand master? Alright then.

*Curt follows after Gorge*

*Nero frowns, and ignores Emma for now cause he's used to crazy people and doesn't want to get into it with her right now*
N: Defies logic? I pull the trigger and devils die.

*Calluna squirms in her sleep at the corrupted energy and wakes up*
*She blinks blearily*
Calluna: W-what? What happened? I felt...bad things...


*Merg keeps doing chin ups*


*Cal sighs and goes to try to tend to Scatty and wake her*


*Gharn is being happily reunited with Dria and they're currently snuggled tightly together, fast asleep in her bed*

*Furia wakes up and stretches*
*throws cloak back over shoulder and looks to Ra*
Ready. Have food?

*thinks and tries somthing different in her native northern language *
Do you speak this... I am limited in your tongue. I know this one far better.

...

*Marinalia continues trying to learn the basic words but is slower learner but eventually manages a few words like hello, thankyou and good morning even if they are rather chunky and not smooth at all*

...

*Maria and Marla are quietly in the small chapel and light a candle for Milo together hoping he alright*

*Carver nods.*
Carver: Your revolver has two barrels that are parallel with one another on a revolver. Which means it can only shoot three times successfully, and reports show you shot it more then three times. That makes no sense.
*Emma eyes snap to the tree line.*
Emma: Shut the the feth up I hear something.
*Carver draws his pistol, and puts a clip of turbo penetration rounds in it.*
*Emma's body bulks slightly as fresh drugs pump into her system.*

---
*George nods*
George: Yes, Grand master of assassins Jason Thulman.
*Finally reaches his quarters, and lets Curt in.*
*Jason sits at his desk looking at a series of screens. A few cogitators are scattered about the room.*

*Nero shakes his head and goes to explain something, but gets cut off by Emma*
*instead, he draws Blue Rose (the pistol) and looks around for a threat*

*Ra shakes his head*
Ra: Er, no. I speak something close. But not that.


*Morgan smiles*
Morgan: Well you're getting there... Why don't we take a break? Watch a movie or something, if they even have any here.

*Curt makes sure to stay behind Gorge*

*He looks at Gorge*

Curt: Do I bow or something?

*Furia curses in native tongue that seems to be a nigh universal f word across the universe *

*switches back to room language *
I ... Limited in this. . Clum.... Clumsy tougue.
Annnoy... Cannot show me.

*seems annoyed and abir upset as she cannot seem to express self properly*

...

*Marinalia *
Sure. ... Umm well we have no tv... I seriously miss my rooms at Olympus right now...
Maybe in the comunal area?

We can go look? Not take me long to get dressed.
Unless you got any other ideas?

*Morgan shakes his head*
Morgan: I didn't see anything when I was looking around. I was hoping you might've had one since you're in the human quarters.
*He shrugs*
Morgan: I don't know then. I don't have my laptop, it was destroyed with the room.


*Ra shrugs*
Ra: Sorry. I don't know. But let's get going.
*Stands up to start tracking again*

*Marinalia smiles*
I got a idea....

*stands up and pulls some more clothes on*
Il be back.
*returns a few old coffee cups. A pair of mre style rations and some coffee*

Oh.. Food, I was getting hungry... Thought you might be.
*pulls out a battered phone that can,t call without room comms, has a cracked screen and a one half working speeker and improvises one of those iPhone tube and cup tricks to make a very gakky sound boost that's mostly one sided*

Well we got.... That. Its not exactly in a state I can call... Good.
I have a few old imperial films still saved on it from ages ago.
Long as you like watching things explode...

...

*Furia nods*
Can track. easier than tongue of hall.


*follows carefully most likely trail he may have taken with strongest tracks*
*treads lightly despite muscular stature*

*Morgan is a little sad Maril's put on more clothes but hides it kinda well*
Morgan: Well, sure. I'm sure it's got nothing on Transformers 12 but I'm down.
*Finds something to prop the phone against*
Morgan: Hm, wish I still had my phone... I got knocked over and fell on it during the escape. Crushed the thing. I might be able to fix it if I had the tools
*Accepts the food happily*


*Ra follows Furia*

*Marinalia flicks through phone that pauses on occasion and not entirely working right given all its gone through*

*finds some vaguely ok film about a imperial fighter group fighting a group of rebels, with a rather top gun theme of a fighter ace who has to fight her deamons and beat a enemy ace who killed her uncle the commander and has to take his place*

*goes slightly pink as it shows wrong image a second that's a little less clothed dressed as spacelines stewardess *
Umm... Its glithy... I think I slept on mine against a rock or something...


...

*Furia tracks slowly and carefully and stops a good few times to check route*
On right track...hours. Days...unknown.

Ooc maybe one more post n I'm sleeping.

*Morgan quickly looks away from the screen at the stewardess*
Morgan: Are you sure this is the right film?


*Ra nods*
Ra: As long as we find him. You're not seeing another other tracks are you? Humanlike female? Barefeet or maybe sandals?

*Gandrea pats David on the head cause she doesn't really know how else to comfort him*

~

*Illidan stops right in front of Mannoroth's face*
I: You picked some time to come here, Annihilan. Are you here to destroy this world?

~

*Denny nods, and takes her helmet off, before mag-locking it to her waist*
D: I'm starved. Let's go.

~

*The boy looks innocent and unknowing, cause y'know, Lord of Lies and everything*
Boy: Oh? Did you have a nightmare? What is your name, by the way?
*He knows it, he just wants her to to repeat it for reasons*

~

*Maiev nods, and releases her grip on her knife cause she feels bad as feth about it*
M: Where are the other humans? Do you have any idea?

~

*The fortress itself doesn't have any demons or anything on the battlements, just the screams of the tortured and the bodies of the dead litter the area*

Calluna: I... I don't know... Just felt... bad.
*She picks up the refilled plate and eats hungrily then looks at the boy*
Calluna: Papa calls me Luna. What is your name?

*Marinalia looks at phone slightly pink*
Umm the files are glitching... Random ones have been flashing up. I think I damaged the memory somewhat and files have merged abit...

And ... That was me.. Ummm..
*goes pinker but answers honestly*
I kinda have a thing for the uniform...

*goes back to movie kinda pink as not expecting it but slightly glad as she not have to worry about hiding it*

...

*furia nods and pauses a second to point out somthing on boot prints edge*
Fragment... Big one hide. Seen several like.
One.. Two... Not know. Track too broken. Not tell..

Ooc night.

*Veck begins wandering in the vague direction of the Imperial base if that's fine with you ZK*
*still scanning on his vox for Imperial signals if any are there*

*Morgan looks rather incredulous*
Morgan: You mean you like wearing that?
*A thought crosses his mind and he goes red*
Morgan: Uh... Uh... you don't have one here do you?


*Ra nods*
Ra: Then he's probably looking for her. His wife, Iris.


OOC: Sleep well Jhe.
Also look what we have now

*Kara shakes her head*
K: I don't know where Gandrea and Elise went. I just hope Daveth was able to do something to protect them. But I'm guessing the others clumped up, safety in numbers and all.
Like cattle. Waiting for a shepherd to guide them. A Herald.

Ooc... Fine..it shall be answered... Then sleep.

*Marinalia a good shade of pink*
Umm... Not on me... Maybe when we get home...
*gives a cheeky smile *
Wait.... *realizes slowly and dawns on her after a few seconds*

Might as well not waste moment.
*fades to black as camera gets cut off and Morgan is left with a rather happy memory thanks to a broken phone*

...

*Furia*
Make sense... Follow then.
Wife track older ... His after...
*carries on following carefully trying to stay in the disturbed ground instead of leaving her own track whenever possible. *

*A group of Doomguard stomp from the forest towards the trio, each grinning with mal intent.*
*Emma yells to the heavens "WRRRRRRRRRRYYY!!!" and charges the Doomguard.*
*Carvers starts snapping off shots towards the massive demons.*
---

*George frowns.*
George: No... just go talk to him, he's not some pompous ass I assure you.
---

*Mannoroth shrugs.*
Man: I'm saving this world from something far worse then me, and destroying the world after.
*He shrugs.*
Man: Little bit of column A, little bit of column B.
---
Jake: Sounds good.
*Jake nods, grabs Denny's hand, and walks to the kitchen.*

---
*David manages to smile at the pats, and pats Gandrea back.*
David: Weirdo.

---
*A lone callidus assassin seems to step out from a tree, and walks up to Veck.*
*She bows to him.*
Assassin: Astartes... follow me.
*Leads him to the base.*

*Veck pauses at the assassin's sudden appearance, but nodd and follows along*
*gets led to the base*

*Nero raises his Blue Rose and aims it at the nearest Doomguard. His Devil Bringer begins to glow brightly before he fires, and the twin bullets fired appear as a single blob of light that flies out towards the demon*
N: Guess I don't need to explain anymore.
*holsters Blue Rose and draws Red Queen while charging at the demons*
*pushes down on a throttle of the sword, and the blade is coated in an oil*

*Curt steps forward*

Curt: Hello Jason. I was just wondering if I could ask you a few questions.

*Morgan is taken utterly by surprise at the sudden escalation but enjoys himself immensely*


*Merg puts her bed back in place then crawls under it. Balancing it carefully she starts lifting it up with her legs by pressing into the middle of the underside*


*Cal is treating Scatty while Morri paces anxiously*


*Gharn and Dria are still snuggled asleep together*


*Black Hawk is standing outside the base, pacing and smoking a pipe like from Lord of the Rings*

*Doomguards head gets blown cracked from Nero's gun blast thing, but he still stands.*
*Emma is a blur, chopping and slicing her way to the center of the group.*
*Carver unloads his mags, and back paves from the approaching doomguard, who tries to ward the shots with his forearm.*

---
*Jason nods, and motions for Curt to sit.*
Jason: Ah, yes.. Curt I believe, are other mystery guest.
*He opens a drawer on his desk, and closes the floating screens.*
Jason: I have questions for you to, if you don't mind my asking?
*Pulls out a bottle of Amasec, and two glasses.*
Jason: Care for some drink?

----
*Vek keeps getting led to the base.*
*Callidus is utterly silent.*

*Veck is perfectly content with the silence and keeps walking*
*he's watching very carefully for demons/whatever the feth else this planet has to throw at him*
*his backpack generator makes a slight humming noise as he walks*

*Curt shakes his head*

Curt: Only seems fair I answer some of you questions to.

*After taking a seat he waves his hand to gesture he doesn't want a drink*

Curt: I'm alright, thanks for the offer. Since you've been nice enough to save me from a demon invasion, it seems only fair you get the first question.

*Gandrea frowns at being called weirdo, and has to really, really bite her tongue so she doesn't yelp in pain at her cuts and wounds being pat*

~

*Denny lets herself get led to the canteen or something, but she spends the entire time walking there looking for things that isn't meant to be there, so basically any spooky Imperial thing*
D: I really don't trust this place...

~

*Illidan sighs, then attempts to slash at Mannoroth's face with his glaive*
I: Sadly I don't believe in temporary alliances. You seek to end this world, I seek to end you.

~

*Maiev pauses slightly at Gandrea and Elise still being alive*
M: They're safe?! I... I thought they both died...
*She shakes her head, and sniffs the air, trying to smell out humans*
M: I can't smell anything living nearby...

~

*The demon attacks have subsided planet-wide, mostly cause all of the killable NPCs are dead, and nobody wants their PCs to die*

*Nero leaps forwards at the Doomguard, and winds his Devil Bringer up for a punch at the demon's head*
N: Try this one on for size.
*swings at the Doomguard's face, causing the giant spectral fist to do the real hit*

*Kara shakes her head*
K: In good health, too. Better than Daveth, that's for sure.
*fails to suppress her smirk as she recalls what she did to Daveth*

*Calluna repeats what she said earlier lol*


*Merg is still working out*


*Gharn and Dria slip out to find something to eat*

*Doomguard gets thrown back by giant punch thing, but gradually recovers. He looks at Nero, and thrusts a fist at him. A meteor falls from the sky, heading towards his location.*
*Emma is chopping, and hacking at the other doomguard.*
*Carver is back paving, and firing while managing to dodge attacks.*

---
*Jason nods, and fills his glass.*
Jason: What are your thoughts on the Elders?

---
*Jake nods, and keeps his eyes peeled.*
Jake: Place is.. spooky.
---
*David pats Gandrea's head, but winces slightly at causing her pain.*
David: Sorry.

---
*Mannoroth manages to parry the attack, and spreads his wings wide.*
Man: So sure of you victory? We will see who is victorious!

*Curt rubs his chin*

Curt: Honestly I don't think about them that much. Tho I did find out Thoth is a right prick, don't really know the other elders, I don't even know how many there are... My question is, how many people did you manage to recover?

*NPC Veck follows along after the assassin, content to be silent and keep an eye out as he walks*

OOC:
Night all.

*Gandrea bites her lip and nods, still in a fair bit of pain*
*She then starts drawing runes on the ground to take her mind off the pain*

~

*Denny nods*
D: They probably have other agendas for being here. Amelia told me what the Imperium was like.

~

*Maiev looks at Kara smile, and can only imagine what happened*
M: I.. see...
*Up to BJ when they get to other places, cause I for one am running out of things to post for Maiev*

~

*The boy tilts his head and smiles*
Boy: Hakan. My name is Hakan.

~

*Illidan flies up somewhat, and starts brewing fire in his hands cause he is a beast at magic and everything else*
I: I assure you, I am more than capable of handling a lapdog.
*He throws the bonafide soulfire at Mannoroth*

*Gharn and Dria are rummaging through the kitchen for food*
*Dria sits down with some cereal while Gharn looks upset that there's no fresh raw meat*


*Calluna nods*
Calluna: Okay... More tricks?
*She wipes her mouth and points at the plate again. This time the plate cracks slowly down the middle until it falls apart*

*Nero curses violently as he sees the meteor, and sprints forwards to try and avoid it*
*activates his devil trigger, which causes a blue, transparent upper body of a demonic figure to appear above Nero. Nero also gains a speed boost, and his weapons glow slightly with the same bluish color of the figure*

*Kara and Maiev reach the human camp Illidan mentioned, cause otherwise Kara is just gonna keep reassuring Maiev to the point where she'd want to paralyze Kara to shut her up about it*
*Kara looks around the camp and her silhoutted form reforms*
K: I doubt I'll be welcome here.

*Jason gives a listen of names of survivors to Curt.*
Jason: List of who we have here, and running out of the world.
*Finishes his drink.*

---
*Doomguard gets back to his feet, and charges Nero.*
*Other ones keep fighting assassins.*
---
*Mannoroth laughs like a mad demon at the green demon fire.*
Man: You weak fool! You cannot kill me! I am a Mannoroth!
*Mannoroth dies.*

---
*Jake nods.*
Jake: I remember some of our interactions with those "space marines" but never these folk.
*Keeps walking along.*

---
*David sits silently watching Gandrea draw runes.*

*Nero jumps and swings Red Queen at the Doomguard's head, and the demon mimics his motion with a katana-esque blade it has*
N: Size isn't the only thing that matters.

OOC Deez witches on my laptop yo
Editing now...

*Curt takes the list and nods in thanks*

Curt: You have any other questions for me?

*The boy smiles, and lists down Calluna's potential*
Boy: Amazing... You're very special, Luna. Can you do anything else?
*Plans within plans*

~

*Maiev looks through the camp, then shrugs*
M: I used to have sex with one of their leaders. They definitely won't like you.
*She pulls out the paralysis knife, and holds it out in front of her*
M: But I'll make sure I gut whoever voices those dislikes.

~

*Despite Illidan's prowess and gak, Mannoroth dying woulda taken a bit out of Illidan, cause Pit Lords ain't no walk in the park, but still killable*
*The resulting death-splosion knocks Illidan from the sky*

~

*Denny nods, and grabs some grub with Jake*
D: Never seen their like before. Not too happy about it either. I don't like being left in the dark.

~

*Tala wants sexy time with Brunor*

~

*Gandrea mega bored*

*Calluna nods*
Calluna: Papa said I was spesh-ul. He said I would... would... be a great ex-peer-ee-ment. What does...
*The meaning springs to her mind and she looks slightly crestfallen then shakes her head to rid herself of the thought*
Calluna: I bet I can do lots! My papa is really spesh-ul! So that makes me spesh-ul!
*She looks a bit sheepish*
Calluna: I just... don't know how...


*Some sounds of rustles and light footsteps is near Ganny and David and whoever else is with them if anyone*

*Marilania seems very happy with self and is curled up next to Morgan and plays with her necklace slightly*

*moves slightly and yawns as she wakes up fully*
(well that certainly was a better way to spend the evening)

Morning.
That certainly beat the movie.
*smiles and generally enjoys the moment *

...

*Furia follows thr tracks as the terrain gets rougher and more hard going and rocky*
Trail harder... Why run to bad ground...

...

*Maria and Marla he's away from shrine area and head back to main area and grab some food after spending a few hours there contemplating*
*wave and greet anyone new including Jake, Denny, maybe Dira, Gharn and anyone else new I missed*

*Dria waves back cheerfully. Happy Gharn's with her again*
*Gharn nods politely*


*Morgan smiles and cuddles Maril*
Morgan: Oh yeah. No doubt


*Black Hawk smokes his pipe*

*Maria waves back glad to see Dira is happy again*
Foods a tad limited here in afraid

The rations are filling if not a tad lacking in flavour. .. Any flavour.
...

*Marilania smiles and laughs slightly*
So I think I broke your awkwardness.

*smiles at cuddle and does not try to escape*
I should shower... But I'm trapped in a good way.

...

Ooc I'm busy soonish, heading out in 10-15

*Morgan smiles*
Morgan: Trapped? Nah. Shower if you want to. I'll go after you, then maybe we should get up, no?


*Gharn nods and makes a face*
Gharn: I would sooner eat rotten meat than this. At least that has flavor

*Maria*
Aye... There designed to last decades. They do a job, I can t say much else.

*Marla nods*
Aye... This place ain't exactly the room level of comfort.
There's coffee but I can guarantee you its never seen a bean om the same planet.

It does the job though.

...

*Marinalia smiles and sits up and puts clothes in a pile and grabs em*
Yeah... Be abit more sociable.

Not that I cannot tease you abit first.
*walks to shower slowly not hiding anything and than showers, coming out dressed a while later*

Ooc gotta go. Might be able to do one more post in about 30 mins.

*Morgan admires Maril then lies back in bed thinking how lucky he is.*


*Gharn and Dria look down at their food with apprehension*
Dria: ...Decades?
Gharn: How old is this sh-
*Dria gives him a look*
Gharn: Shhhtuff?

*Maria*
Check the date. Should be on the back on some stamp.

There rations. There meant so you can put them away for 10 -20 years and still be usable when needed. Once you seal somthing right food will not decay as its sealed tight.

...

*Marinalia smiles headed out drying hair dressed and grabs her armour and sword as never know in current situation *
Be ready soon. I left you some hot water!

We can go see who about once your done.

Ooc gonna be busy now.

*Gharn checks his pack and finds it's only a few months old.*
*Dria checks her's and gags as she learns she's been eating food older than she is*


*Morgan smiles*
Morgan: You have no idea how hard it was not to just follow you. I'll be out in a bit.
*Goes to shower*

*Maria looks over*

You alright Dira?
I know the food ain't great but it should not be off.

*Marla*
Aye... Lack flavour...but not gone mouldy.

...

*Marinalia smiles and sits on bed finishing locking on a chestplate of darkgrey/black layered armour that contrasts heavily with a delicate silver 3 moon necklace she wears*

I never closed the door you know.
*smiles cheekily and nods approving and he walks away*

*Kara smiles down at Maiev's knife, and looks back up at her*
K: You're too kind to me, Kadan.
*runs a finger down her sraff, and tilts her head slightly*
K: If there's time, I wouldn't mind a talk with your ex.

*Maiev has a faint smile as she looks at the camp*
M: Long dead. He kinda went mad a little bit of time after I dumped him, and I don't know if it's correlated, but he killed the rulers of Terra and took over.
*She has kinda forgotten about stabbing Kara for now, cause assassins and stuff*

~

*The boy frowns at Calluna, and nods*
Boy: You're very special, but you're not an experiment. Those are not good things to be. Your daddy is a bad person if he calls you that.

*Kara raises an eyebrow, not that it's visible*
K: Never a boring moment with you around.
*low key happy to here that Maiev's ex isn't around, and starts walking into the camp*
K: Do you think anyone will want to help?

*Doomguard growls, lifts his massive sword up, and charges Nero.*
*Tries to still stab at Nero, not ghostly Katan wielding dude.*

---
*Jason nods.*
Jason: Would like to know your thoughts on the treatment of the elders, sense you are one of the few humans here.
*He shrugs, and watches Curt closely.*
Jason: Do you think I am being to harsh on them?
*One of screens blinks to life, and he frowns.*
Jason: More guests... George greet them.

---
*Jake eats grub with Denny, and nods.*
Jake: I say we meet with their leader... see what this is all about...

---
*Brunor looks over at Tala, and hugs her.*
Brunor: Here I am Tala..
*He smiles at her.*
Brunor: You okay?

---
*David not bored, just annoyed from all the pain around him.*

---
*Cyber eagle watches Maiev and Kara silently.*

*presumably Veck arrived at the base with the assassin last night since I completely passed out*
*Veck stands silently in the middle of the base and looks around*
Someone's been busy....

*Nero uses the demon's blade as a boost and uses it to vault over the Doomguard's head*
*stabs downwards at the DG, and the demonic figure lashes out with its blade as well*
N: Catch this!

*Curt thinks for a second*

Curt: I don't think I have enough info on them to give you a useful answer. I don't know the elders that well, and I don't know you that well. So it's pretty hard for me to say.

*Marla heads out for some fresh air and leans near a door seeing veck at first*

Hey, welcome to wherever we are.
Most of the people are in this section, quite a few have made it here.

*Notices Kara and Maliev if they walked far ernough in but I not sure how big this base is ment to be or how complicated*
*Steers abit clear if does as both probbly look rather dangerous*

*Black Hawk nods to Kara and Maiev politely. Probs doesn't recognize Kara immediately but would recognize Maiev and come to the natural assumption that her companion is Kara*
BH: Hello. Not seen you two for a while.
*Puffs on his pipe*


*Merg has finished exercising and is taking another shower*


*Dria takes Gharn's hand*
Dria: L-let's not eat anymore... let's find something else to do.
*Gharn nods and gets led away into the base somewhere*


*Morgan curses his own stupidity, showers, dresses and stands next to Maril*
Morgan: So. Food?


*More rustling near David and Gandrea*


*Calluna smiles slightly*
Calluna: Thank you... What now? More tricks? I don't know any...

*Veck turns to Marla and takes off his helmet*
*gives her a warm smile*
Nice to see you made it out of there alive Marla.

*Marla*
Aye... Good to see you made it out of there too.
Few of us got found by this lot, there's a good 10 or more currently here. Few more are out in woods I believe.

Thoeth, Furia, Ra, maybe more.
If rather be home though. Any sign of Milo? *voice goes worried*

*Notices maliev but not reconise Kara plus last time I think she hered of Kara she killed kroot and Aoife *
Good few people made it here.. Itd about only place left.

...

*marinalia nods and smiles*
Kinda hungry... Someone might of helped that eh.
Don,t keep a lady waiting good sir.

*heads out to the canteen/comunal area and offers a hand as they go to get a meal*

*A figure drapped in black robes, with a symbol of a red eyed writtin in blood on his chest.*
*He looks around, sniffing the air before turning, and drawing a door on the ground.*
*He then opens the door, and a void of black energy spews forth.*
*Out of the door Roland and Leo flop out.*

---
*Jake's eyes widen all of a sudden, and he grabs his head in pain.*
Jake: Roland?!
*He surges to his feet, and looks at Denny.*
Jake: W-we need to go, now.
---
*Doomguard howls in pain attack the attacks, but still stands.*
*He tries to shoot a beam of green energy to debilitate Nero.*
*Emma manages to plant a melta bomb on the beasts head, and blows him up. She charges Nero's asssilant, though it is important to point out she is missing her left arm.*
*Carver is going for run the feth away, and spray bullets. It kinda working the turbo rounds start to blow holes through his Doomguard.*

---
*David stands up, and spreads his wings at the rustling.*
David: C'mon out donkey-cave or I'll! ... do magical stuff!

---
*Jason nods, and stands up.*
Jason: I understand, let me know if you need anything but for now I have another thing to attend to.
*Starts walking outside, and is followed by two callidus assassins.*

---
*Vanus agent seems to appear out on nowhere next to Veck.*
Vanus: Indeed.. might I ask you to follow me... we have questions for you...

---
*George walks up to Kara and Maiev.*
George: Hello! May I stop you here, and ask you a few questions?
*He puts on a good smile.*

OOC complete edit...

*Denny blinks with her remaining eye, nods, then starts rushing towards the exit with Jake*
D: Where?

~

*Maiev tilts her head*
M: Take us to your leader.

~

*Tala yawns and hugs Brunor*
T: I want food, then I want you.

*Veck shakes his head sadly*
No, I'm sorry. Its like he disappeared into thin air. There was some blood around the Repressor, but no body.
*looks concerned*

*is surprised by the agents appearance but hides it well*
I'm sure you do.
*follows the agent*

*Curt nods to Jason and heads back towards the main room*

Curt: (Maybe I should talk to some of the elders...)

*Leo flops onto the ground and lays there*

*Her mind is so fethed she is basically a potato*

*Iris staggers out of the bushes looking extremely disheveled*
*She's covered in minor cuts and scrapes, some of which still bleed freely, and her clothes are to tattered that they're barely more than scraps covering her decency*
*She's wild eyed and doesn't seem to recognize anything *
*Her skin is flashing colors, never settling on one for more than one at a time*
*Her silky white hair isn't in it's normal neat ponytail and instead hangs limp around her face*
*Her lips are cracked and dry and she sways as she stumbles forwards, mumbling incoherently to herself under her breath*


*Merg finishes her shower, dresses and goes to get some food*


*Morgan takes Maril's hand and allows himself to be lead to the kitchen*


*Calluna smiles slightly*
Calluna: Thank you... What now? More tricks? I don't know any...

*Marinalia walks with to canteen type area and passes over a pair of ration meals to Morgan*

dinner for two with wine have to wait I'm afraid.
*smiles and makes two of the strong but unnatural coffees and sits down at a table and tries to make best of it *

*waves to Maria who smiles over at the two of em*
Hey you two, enjoy.

*sits back at a another table and cleans her pistol*

...

*Marla nods to veck sadly*
Thanks for the news... Even if it ain't good.
*heads back to the main area obviously upset and starts heading back to her room there *

...

*Nero swivels in midair to try to avoid the hit, but still gets hit be the beam*
*lashes out with Devil Bringer at the same time*

*Kara looks down at George, but stays silent for now*

*Roland coughs up a wad of black phlegm, and holds his side.*
Roland: By... Gan...
*He looks over at the robbed figure, who simple waves, and slowly fades away.*
---
*Doomguard falls over dead from the strike.*
*Emma goes to help Carver.*
---
*Jake leads Denny outside, and starts heading towards Roland's location.*
Jake: Roland is back... I can feel his presence.

---
*David helps Iris up, and bites his bottom lip as he feeds off her pain.*
David: Let's get you in the camp, maybe someone could help?
---
*Brunor nods to Tala, and smiles.*
Brunor: Let's get you some food, then we can have our fun.
*He starts leading her towards the scent of food.*

---
*George is about to speak, but Jason walks up, and bows to Maiev.*
Jason: Ah, Miss. Shadowsong, or should I say Mrs.?
*Two Callidus assassins stand at Jasons side.*

---
Vanus: Excellent, please follow me.
*The agent leads Veck into the darker places of the base.*
*Small drones

*Iris seems delirious, her voice is a dry rasp as she mumbles in Danu.*
*She's mumbling something about Hephestus and giant crocodiles*


*Merg frowns as she sees Jake and Denny race past*
*Turns to follow them as it looks like something urgent is happening*

*Nero dusts himself off and switches back to his Blue Rose*
*the demonic figure dissappears, and Nero starts firing at Carver's Doomguard*

*Kara, again, leaves Maiev to do the talking*

*Veck follows the agent cautiously*
*outwardly he is perfectly calm*

M: Miss, still. Officio?
*She slips her knife back into its sheath, and stares Jason in the eyes*

~

*Tala smiles and follows after Brunor, albeit a bit slower cause she's still recovering*

~

*Gandrea don't trust Iris, and so she doesn't help David*

~

*Denny nods once, and picks up the pace significantly, pulling Jake at speeds not a lot of normal humans can reach*
D: Point me in the right direction.

*Merg mutters a curse and races after them cause she thinks gak's going down and is sick of just waiting. She wants some action!*
*She obviously couldn't keep up with a Spartan moving full speed, but might be able to keep up with Denny as she's got to drag Jake along too*


*Calluna nods*
Calluna: Not ex-peer-ee-ment? Thank you...
*She smiles slightly, violet eyes twinkling*
What now?

*Marla heads In and dodges out way of merg*
Woah...

*heads to small chapel instead and cries slightly as veck seems to of confirmed the worst even without body*
*traces the inscription on her bracelet sadly with there anniversary date on*

...

*Marinalia talks with Morgan and whoever in the room most people seem to he eating at*
*eats a rather boring mre style meal barely made somewhat passable by some tobasco sauce but hungry so eats even the gakky stuff*
*yawns a tiny bit as her sleep as rather more active than normal*

...

*Maria finishes cleaning pistol before gets a feeling something up and looks round for Marla in the nearby public rooms*
Excuse me.

Ooc night, quite abit of driving today, need some zzzz

*Curt heads off to his room*

*Leo remains on the floor like a potato*

*Roland looks around the world, and looks more or less confused.*
*Spots Leo, and looks enraged. He grabs for his empty holsters, and grits his teeth.*
Roland: Ka-Mai...
*He looks up, and feels Jake heading to him. Gives Leo a final look, then heads towards Jake.

---
*Jake tries to keep his feet under him, and points for Denny honing in on Roland.*

---
*Doomguard starts getting shot up by Carver's, Nero, and Emma.*
*He calls a meteor down on himself, knowing he can't survive.*
*Carver and Emma dive to the side, avoiding a majority of the blast.*

---
*Brunor walks with Tala, making sure to support her as they walk.*
*Takes her to the kitchen, and finds her some food.*

---
*Veck is brought to a empty room, in the center of the room is a chair large enough for a space marine. The chair is pretty heavy and uncomfortable, on top of that it appears to have grav binds to hold anyone who sits in it in place.*
Vanus: Sit.
*Behind Veck four eversors make themselves known by stepping from the shadows.*

---
*David helps Iris into the sanctuary, and Tb walks up to him.*
*Give David a look, and looks at Iris.*
Tb: You hurt... now you know... how green feel.
*David sighs.*

*Veck glances at the Eversors calmly*
Friendly bunch aren't you?
*he sighs softly and sits down*
Should I be honored you felt that you needed 4 of those insane buggers to get me to sit down calmly?

*Iris looks around blearily at the green and her eyes clear for a second and she speaks english*
Iris: Water...
*Then she's gone again, muttering about how flattered she is over something in Danu*


*Merg keeps running hard*

*Nero flicks Devil Bringer to the side, and the ghastly hand snaps out and lashes into a tree, which pulls Nero along with him to get out of the blast radius*
N: Everyone alright?

*Carver nods, and Emma simply hyperventilates with a crazied look on her face.*
Carver: I'm good...Emma condition?
*Emma just keeps panting, not really noticing her missing arm.*
Emma: Still operational, condition green.*
*Carver frowns, and shakes his head.*

----
*Vanus agent shrugs.*
Vanus: You should. We have questions for you, considering you loyalty to the god emperor is in question. You stand with xenos, and heretics, and from our understanding the codex astartes does not approve of this action.
*Eversors all bark there strange dark laughter.*
Vanus: What do you have to say for yourself?

---
*Tb points to the pod.*
Tb: Water.
*He then walks away, David helps Iris to the pond.*

*Nero frowns at Emma*
N: She's missing an arm. I've seen devils with a lower pain tolerance.
*shakes his head and reloads Blue Rose*
N: Think that was a scouting party?

*Aerin decides to not stick around when Brunor sticks Tala, so he heads out of their assigned room to get some air*

*Veck gives a booming laugh*
What do I have to say for myself? I was sent here by Lord Tigurius to observe the inhabitants of this place. I'm sure you're bright enough to notice that they come from different universes, different timelines, and that many of them have powers. Lord Tigurius and Calgar both wished to see if any of them could grant us insights that could help us combat the Hive Fleets of the Tyranids. As to my loyalty, I was fighting the enemies of mankind while you were still playing with dolls and crapping in your diapers. Time and time again the chaplains have tested my faith and my loyalty and found them to be stronger than adamantium. Those "xenos" have proven themselves to be worthy allies and true friends. They stood beside me and the PDF against every foe that sought to take this land from us.

*Iris sees the water stumbles from David's grip and dunks her face in, then starts gulping greedily as her body stops flashing colors and settles on a mix of excited yellow and relieved blue*
*She's gulping loudly, uncaring about anything else rn*

*Black Hawk smokes*

*Vanus agent shakes his head.*
Vanus: The could be true to some extent, but sense the elders take over of the room and the literal overthrow of the governorship of this planet. No. You have not been spying, we have been spying watching you and the martians sit in debauchery while imperial lives die.
*He flips through a data pad, and smiles slightly.*
Vanus: And from my reports... you lie... You were assigned here to "guard" the Imperiums interest, which you failed! And on top of that keep the traitor Commissar Benny away from the Emperors justice! Here is a recording of you speaking with the other traitorous Commissar, (who was put down...) blantly speaking traitorous acts Now what do you have to say?

+++Plays recording+++

 War Kitten wrote:

theplahunter wrote:Ah, what is an ultramarine doing here?

*nods to Hunter*
Brother Veck of the Ultramarines, which you already knew apparently, I was assigned here to guard the Imperium's interests in this Room. Namely ensuring that Commissar Benny is kept alive and as far away from the rest of the Imperium as humanly possible.

+++Stops recording+++

----
*Emma keeps looking around for targets, and frowns at the lack of them.*
Carver: Could be, but those are the big ones. Usually reainmated flesh is the scouting unit. That looked more like a hunting party.
*He looks over at Emma, and sighs again.*
Carver: Alright.. well let's scout the citadel, and report back to base.

----
*David stands off to the side, not wanting to be near Iris.*

*After near a solid minute of gulping down water Iris surfaces, panting but smiling*
Iris: Ahhh.... That's so much better...
*She smiles at David, not seeming to care much her appearance*
*She's still bleeding from several of her minor cuts and scrapes but doesn't seem to mind that anymore than the fact her clothes are tatters*
Iris: Thank you for helping me! I'd gotten separated from my group a few days ago and haven't been able to find any water for a few days now.

*Veck just keeps grinning*
You act like I told them the truth as to my original purpose.
*Gives the agent a chilling smile*
Some of those Imperial lives were my own brothers, I would suggest keeping that in mind before you continue accusing me of disloyalty. I have bled in defense of this place and of Imperial interests here. Now if you don't mind I'm going to meditate.
*nearly instantly slips into a meditative state*

OOC:
Night all.

*Denny runs in Rolands direction like a complete truck, and is making rapid leeway to the location*

~

*Tala smiles at Brunor getting food, but frowns at the lack of fresh bloody meat*
T: This is boring and disgusting...

~

*Gandrea keeps her eyes narrowed at Iris*

~

*Maiev waits for an answer*

~

*The boy smiles and offers his hand to Calluna*
Boy: We can go explore! I want to know more about what you can do!

*Calluna takes the offered hand and smiles shyly*
Calluna: Okay! Where we go?


*Merg is getting left behind but can probably still follow the giant Spartan footprints*

*Jason smiles, and nods.*
Jason: I am the grand master of assassins, Jason Thulman. My temple is irrelevant.
*He sighs.*
Jason: What do you wish of us... you and your... lover are liabilities, that I will not stand for.
---
*Vanus agent shakes his head annoyed.*
Vanus: Sure rest up, the next few days will be grueling for you...
*A device is snapped to Veck's head, and pulses of electricity that would kill a normal man course through his nerves.*
---

*Brunor nods, and sighs.*
Brunor: There isn't game anymore... we will... have to make due.
*He picks out a few rations, and frowns.*

---
*Roland sees Denny, and makes his way to her. Nods to the pair, and bows slightly.*
Roland: Well met, you two..
*Can't help but smile at Jake, who immediately gives him a quick hug.*
Jake: Glad to see you alive.

---
*David nods.*
David: No problem.
*Steps back from Iris, not liking the pain bleeding off her.*
David: You should heal up or something... er yeah. Don't hurt the green...

*Merg keeps running*


*Iris nods, still panting*
Iris: Yes... Right... I fell down a pretty steep hill covered in sharp rocks.. I think. I don't remember exactly...
*She focuses and her aura springs to life and begins healing her wounds*

*Nero nods*
N: How much scouting do you want done? If we find some leader of this place, I can take him out.

*Kara tightens her grip on her staff at Jason's words but continues to remain silent*

*Leo=potato*

*Maiev tilts her head with a smile*
M: I think you should've brought more backstabbers if you wanted to back up your words. I can take them all with my eyes closed. Now what we want is some help taking out a demon encampment. Then we'll help you do something. You scratch my back, I scratch yours.

~

*Tala frowns at the gak ass food, and refuses to eat it*
T: I want something else...

~

*Denny nods to Roland, and keeps an eye out for anything*
D: Good to see you alive.

~

*The Hakan leads Calluna down some halls past some normal looking people, who greet and bow before Hakan*
Hakan: They are my people, and I am their king. We can go where ever you want... As long as I can reach that place.

*Merg comes to a halt with Denny, Jake and Roland just in view*
*Seeing that there doesn't seem to be anything actually going down she groans and leaves over, hands on her knees as she tries to get her breath back*
*She's super fit, but she's not Spartan fit so that run winded her pretty bad*
*She just leans over like 100 meters from the group, panting heavily and mentally cursing*


*Calluna is suuuper shy around people but looks at Hakan*
Calluna: You're a King? Shouldn't Kings be grown ups?

*Kara nods along to Maiev's words*
K: We don't need an army. Just enough to let us reach Lusacan and destroy him.
Lead the mortals to my home, Herald. They will meet their dooms, and help spawn more of our kind.

*Hakan smiles, and shakes his head*
Hakan: Age is just a number, sweet Luna.
*He leads her around the pseudo-castle, trying to get her to test out her abilities whenever the chance arises*
*The demon masters are watching the entire scene play out, and are laughing menacingly, not that anybody knows*
*One of them is absent*

*Calluna's abilities for now seem limited to making things break slowly apart and replenishing things lost.*
*She demonstrates by pointing to a couch and making it crack in half*
*She starts to get rather cranky after a while as breaking things doesn't interest her and replenishing things tires her greatly*
Calluna: I'm bored with tricks! I wanna do something else!

*Jason grins back, and chuckles.*
Jason: They are here as honor guard, nothing more. If anything were to happen they would simple step back... and watch.
*He rolls his eyes, and sighs.*
Jason:You want my help... for what? *Gestures to Kara.* Help fight her Master? I think fething not.
---
*Carver nods to Nero.*
Carver: Sure.. That works for me.
*Emma twitches.*
Emma: Let's lets go go..
*She starts stomping towards the citadel.*

---
*Brunor sighs.*
Brunor: Well... there isn't really much else... What do you have in mind?

---
*Roland nods back, and sighs.*
Roland: What happened to this place?
Jake: Demons invaded... also Eddie is here...
*Roland jaw sets, and his widen for a moment.*
Roland: Show me him...

*Nero nods and follows after Emma*
N: You lose limbs often? You're pretty calm about it.

*Kara grits her teeth and growls slightly*
K: He isn't my master. He is the reason I'm what I am.

*Marla stays where she is, as Maria eventually finds her sister and comforts her.*
*sighs and hugs her sister helping her out as she helped her out with the same thing*

...

*Marinalia stays in main area talking with Morgan and whoever about *
*eats, enjoys being round people, but also playfully holds hands at times*
*notices Maria gone and not seen Marla and starts to look abit worried for her aunt and mother*

...

*Furia keeps tracking slowly and carefully if Ra still tracking Horus and Iris*

*Iris nods, still panting*
Iris: Yes... Right... I fell down a pretty steep hill covered in sharp rocks.. I think. I don't remember exactly...
*She focuses and her aura springs to life and begins healing her wounds*


**Horus is totally lost. Jus wandering the world in search of Iris


*Thoth sees the Citadel ad begins striding towards it.*
*He's massively overcharged so he's got power to spare should anything attack him*


*Morgan had gone to visit with his family for a few hours*

*Furia follows with Ra on the human, elder duo following the mad route and stands looking confused*

Track. No sense. No routes.
*shakes head and looks round as Horus and Iris both thrown off thinking is making tracks all manner of strange*

*curses in her native language and rants slightly
What kind of fools live here..track, move me, big men who cannot even track a giant, daughter missing! ..

...

*Marinalia waves him off and lets him have some time with his family*
See you later. Hope there doing alright.

*smiles and gets up eventually looking for her family slightly worried*

*The boy is a bit taken aback at how bored Calluna gets, but nods*
Hakan: Of course! I will show you how to draw things, and then you can ride on a horse? How does that sound?
*He is seeping corruption into Calluna at every passing moment, so it's only a matter of time before she starts becoming mean and mind controlled (But in a lot of time, like 30~ posts, cause less than that would be semi-op)*

~

*Again, the citadel and its ramparts are abandoned, though further in is something else entirely*

~

*Maiev grits her teeth, and tilts her head*
M: I don't give a feth about what you think of me, or what you think of my fiance, but what we're doing is for the good of this world. So if you want to sit back and wait while three different factions of hell-dwellers pull it the feth apart, you can.
*The corners of her mouth tilt up in the shape of a smile*
M: But you'll be watching it from a morgue if you don't help.

~

*Denny nods again, and waits for Jake to finish greeting Roland before heading back off in the direction of the Assassin camp*
D: Any idea where you've been, sir?

~

*Tala shrugs*
T: Can I eat one of the humans here?

*Much of Calluna's crankiness is mostly due to being both tired from all the magic, and 5*
*Calluna nods*
Calluna: We can draw things...
*She yawns hugely*


*Thoth walks towards the Citadel. His beak is set in anger*


*Merg stares at the group as they pass, still catching her breath a little*
*She looks at Denny as she walks by*
Merg: Gods Lady, you can run!
*She then follows after them. She stays far enough behind that she can't really hear what they're saying as she's not nosy or anything*

Jason to Kara: And you think your corruption will just die with him? What will you do when the dragon is dead, Kara?
*Jason smiles back at Maiev.*
Jason: Oh good, so ridding the world of your fiances master will free this place?
*He sighs.*
Jason: She is a pawn, and from our reports the "thing" that is her master sits in a pile of filth trying to shore up it's ranks with lesser creatures. I am not worried about "Darkspawn" they die easy from bolter, and blade... what I am worried about is your fiance, who has already reportedly killed some of her own friends... On top of that what makes you think I need your help, you are even more reckless then my eversors, and care only for your fiance. I know the truth is you would gladly watch this world burn, cause you care nothing for it. All you want is aid in freeing her from her master.
*He laughs at the threat.*
Jason: Maiev my dear, even if you were to touch me... there are over six Vinidcare snipers aimed at your lover. One false move, and she is pulped by psy rounds.

---
*Emma slowly turns her head, eyes wide as the drugs are still kicking in.*
Emma: Why-WHY does it matter?!
*She starts hyperventilating again.*
Carver: Give her space...

---
*Brunor frowns.*
Brunor: Er... no... beside these humans smell.. very different.. more metallic smelling..
*He shrugs.*
Brunor: We could try to hunt... but killing these humans is a bad idea.

---
*Roland nods, looking slightly weak. Starts following the pair. He nods a greeting to Merg.*
Roland: No... but I know who took me there...
Jake: Leo..
Roland: Aye. I would have ended her, but I do not posses the means.
*Jake hands Roland his magnum, and nods.*
Jake: We should end her father... she is lost... something changed her, and now she kills innocence, and feeds on their corpses.
*Roland stops turns around, and starts heading back to were he left Leo. His magnum is in his hands, and his cold blue eyes burn with hate.*
Roland: I will end her.
*Jake follows, and motions for Denny and Merg to do the same.

---
*David shrugs.*
David: Sorry to hear that... looks like you will live though... so that's good

*Iris nods and smiles*
Iris: Oh yes, I'll be fine. Thank you for helping me! I really needed that drink!
*She looks down at herself and frowns*
Iris: Hm. I'm going to need to wash up and... Erm, I think I need some new clothes. These got shredded and I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable by not having much on....



*Merg glares at the mention of Leo*
Merg; That's the psycho who tried to eat my arm!
*Merg absently rubs the scars on her arm where Leo took a chunk out of her, then draws her sword and follows along*

*Nero frowns, but nods*
*sighs and holsters Blue Rose*
N: Gotta say, this place has better fighters than I'm used to.
*shakes his head*
N: Lady might not like to hear that Devil Hunters won't have easy business here.

*Kara glares at Jason*
K: All I want is to be free of my corruption. I was never a monster by choice. Without Lusacan's taint, there will be nothing driving me to stay like this.
*reaches out with her mind to try and find the life essence of the vindicares*

*Wade groans and stands up in the shuttle*
DP: Well, this was fun, but I've got a business venture to make quick. I'll be back in a bit, don't you worry.
*blows a kiss to Billy and Zoey, and teleports away*
*appears next to the brain dead form of Leo and sighs*
DP: Oh poor Leo, I don't seeing you like this. It's just not the same when you can't hit me.

Ooc I'm not sure if Il be able to post properly, my phone is as fethed as the planet right now.

Text, calls, and bow phone book plus photos all not working.
Got internet still but not sure if Il lose that to.

*Leo doesn't respond to Wade, because she's a potato*

Ooc ... Seems patchy but works at least for now.
Might have to fully reset phone and do a bunch of file swapping about though, probbly gotta take it to call provider if gets any worse :(

Night folks..

*Denny does a complete 180 to follow Jake and Roland, and walks beside Jake, without another word*
*She is itching to shoot Leo in the gob*

~

*Tala frowns, and looks around at anything close*
T: Well I'm hungry, and there's nothing good to eat...

~

*Maiev grits her teeth as she steps backwards towards Kara, and takes her hand, seriously regretting not stabbing her earlier so she wouldn't be in this position*
M: We'll be on our way. It seems you don't want to help save this gakky world anyway. If you know so much about me, then you know I'd be more use to you than an entire team of your drug filled assassins.

~

*Hakan sits Calluna down, and manifests some very old looking paper from absolutely nothing, then sits down beside her, and starts showing her how to draw cool things, like horses and dogs*

~

*Gandrea low-key looking at Iris' tits cause she still doesn't trust her and she likes what she sees*

*Zoey walks outside the shuttle, and looks around for a bit.*
*Notices the hellish landscape, flying demons, and the black sky, an has the look of surprise.*
Zoey: Well then... Billy I give you two days in this hellhole.
*Turns back, and looks at him.*
Zoey: You best keep up, if you fall behind I keep moving... we find a high point, and try to comm Denny and Santiago..
*She starts to jog, so Billy be running like a mofo.*

---
*Jake and Roland keep making their way to Leo's location.*
*They step with purpose, but also looks out for any demons.*

---
*Brunor sniffs the air, and frowns.*
Brunor: Well I do smell something... fresh... smells kinda like human.

---
*Jason sighs.*
Jason: Admittedly... you would be a great asset. Though my faith isn't as strong as yours for your fiance. Regardless I will go aid you in killing this dragon. *Turns to george.* Have my gear prepped, you assume command.
*George nods, and walks off.*
Jason: I'm sure the Elders would love to help you... Yes sense Kara killed Aoife, I'm sure she will be, they would throw away their lives willingly for you.

---
*David notices Iris tits, but is too busy dealing with the overwhelming amounts of pain and suffering. Also Detheroc woke up and has been bitching like crazy about some guy called Illidan.*
David: Yeah well... don't worry about it... may actually raise morale around here.
*He wanders off giving Iris privacy.*
*Tb shakes his head at the people wandering all about.*

---
*Carver nods.*
Carver: We are assassins of the god emperor.
*He keeps walking along scanning for hostiles, as the group starts to make their way on the outskirts of the moat surrounding it.*
Emma: Blesssed is is he..

*Iris smiles*
Iris: Well, I'll do my best to help how I can! First though...
*She takes off what little she had on and begins washing off the blood from her now healed wounds in the pool along with just washing up in general as she hasn't been properly clean since she came back*


*Calluna's tongue sticks out as she draws images from her mind that she doesn't know is part of the knowledge imparted into her by her father*
*She's currently drawing Arcanine from Pokemon without knowing what it is*


*Billy looks shocked at the world's destruction*
Billy: W-what happened?!
*Glares at Zoey, now seriously angry*
Billy: I've survived fer over 38,000 years Z, gimme some credit.
*Runs after Zoey, shouting at her*
Billy: I been in places you only seen in your nightmares!
*Curses under his breath and tries to keep up*


*Merg looks at Roland*
Merg: If you don't mind, I'd like a few minutes with her before you end it.
*Her fingers flex over her sword handle eagerly as her eyes betray her cruel intent*


*Thoth floats over the moat and lands in front of the door to the Citadel*
*He presses one hand against the material and attempts to burn a hole through it with magic plasma palms*


*Morgan visits with fam*

*Gharn gives the fam some privacy despite him basically being a part of it now and goes to the kitchen to see if they're hiding any better food somewhere*
*Ransacks the cupboards*


*Black Hawk's watching the Maiev/Kara/Jason exchange while smoking his pipe*
*He gets the feeling he's nowhere near their level of power so he just is content to watch for now*

*Nero looks around the forest*
N: Nothing but blessed.

*Kara nods*
K: Thank you.
*grits her teeth at Jason's last comment*
K: It was my hand that killed her, but not my heart.
But it was your heart that tortured Daveth. Herald, you and I are not so different. Which is why I took you in, and made you as strong as you are now.
*Kara growls slightly and tightens her grip on her staff*

*Wade throws Leo over his shoulders and giggles*
DP: Well, I should probably leave an IOU for Jake, but I'll just chat with him later. We've got some gak to do for now.
*starts walking off, and glances up at Leo*
DP: What do you think about a jetpack? Doctor Octopus arms? Wait, who am I kidding? You'll love 'em.

*The only demons around the forest are skeletons that lost their friends, so they'd be easily dispatched by just about anything*

~

*Tala smiles and stands up*
T: Where?!

~

*Maiev actually picks her words now that she knows Kara is in danger*
M: ...Thank you.

~

*Illidan stands up, and looks around for Mannoroth's skull*
I: Magtheridon was a harder fight than you were.
*He looks*

~

*As I said earlier, the entire citadel is abandoned, apart from a few non-hostile zombies that are performing the menial labour around it*
*The big feth off tower that is in the middle of the camp is where everyone should go*

*Emma's head snaps towards Nero.*
Emma: You worship the emperor to?
*Carver slowly looks at Nero, waiting for his response.*

---
*David keeps walking away.*
David: Yep! Get all that blood off you.
*He sighs, and sits at the edge of the green away from everyone.*

---
*Zoey stops mid stride, turns to billy, and grabs him by the neck.*
Zoey: The feth you just call me? And mother fether I don't have nightmares, nightmares have me.
*All Billy sees is Zoey's helmet, but she pretty mad under there.*
---
*Brunor smiles back slightly.*
Brunor: I'll show you, lets go.. just try to be sneaky.
*Heads off towards the darker recesses of the base.*

---
*Jason nods, gets his gear, and watches Kara carefully.*
Jason: Have no fear, Kara... I guess I could relate in some way... though the hand that guides me is holy.
*Jasons gear is pretty simple it's his normal flak coat, and attire flak vest. But he also has strange cylinder tubes made up of different colored flesh slotted in places on his armor. He also has a ceremonial sword.*
Jason: Now then Shadowsong, lead the way... Unless you feel any other assets besides my assassins could be obtained.

---
*Mannoroths Skull appears to be gone.*

---
*Roland and Jake still making their way to Leo.*
*Roland turns to Merg, and shakes his head.*
Roland: No. I am a gunslinger, not some animal. She will be put down swiftly...
*Jake nods in agreement.*

---
*Cause I didn't have enough characters to write! Eddie meets with a shadowy robbed figure.*
*Though all moderating devices show he is alone.*

*Nero looks over at Emma*
N: I never bought into worshipping any god. Turns out I'm related to one. But if the Emperor can help kill Devils, then he at least deserves praise.

*Kara forces herself to focus on Jason, cause it's hard for her to ignore Lusacan*
K: I used to fight for a holy cause. The Maker was with me when I killed demons. I'd... I'd like to think he's still watching. But I'm not so sure.
The Maker doesn't deserve your praise, Herald. He allows illness, poverty, and slavery. If he was so pure and powerful, you would not have killed your own lover. I would never allow that.

*Billy grins stupidly*
Billy: Z... Fer Zoey yeh? Urk... Sure...thing...Zoey...
*Starts turning purple but doesn't stop grinning*


*Thoth sends out a magic scan for lifesigns*
*Frowns at finding none and blinks away to head towards the tower*


*Merg snarls*
Merg: If she's killed innocent then she deserves to feel every ounce of pain she gave them.
*She sighs*
Merg: But I'll let you do it your way... this time.


*Iris scrubba-dubs without shame of being seen*

*Leo dangles over Wades shoulder*

*Curt walks into the main room*

*Maiev grits her teeth, then shakes her head*
M: Your cutthroats should suffice.
*She then turns, and pulls Kara along while heading towards the cave*
M: I want you to go back to where we came from... I don't trust him.

~

*Denny remains a silent badass*

~

*Tala nods, and follows Brunor, although she really isn't sneaky*

~

*Hakan frowns at Calluna's drawings, then looks at her*
Hakan: Where did you learn to draw these?

~

*The tower doors are closed, waiting for more than one person to get there, cause that'd be anti-climactic as feth*

*Calluna frowns thinking*
Calluna: I... don't know... it just came into my head.


*Thoth begins trying to break into the tower but probs finds the doors sealed by something and starts pacing to figure out what*


*Iris finishes washing up, examines her scraps of clothing critically. decides 'feth it' and tosses them aside as they wouldn't do much anyways. She then goes to look for fruit from a tree or something cause she hungry af*


*Merg is basically doing the same as Denny but with a more maniac glint in her eye*

*Kara turns her head to Maiev and sighs*
K: And how can I trust him with you? If you get hurt, I'd never forgive myself.

*Wade looks up at Leo*
DP: Well, I think we've stayed too long here, don'tcha think? Let's go find ourselves Pavlova.
*giggles and teleports away*

*Emma's head snaps forward, and she twitches slightly.*
Carver: Let's just keep moving inside the base.. think it's empty anyways.
*He starts walking towards the main gates of the citadel, and can just make out Thoths hammering.*

---
*Roland looks at Merg, and shakes his head.*
Roland: Then you are a debased animal like her, and if ever you torture a soul in my presence for nothing more then your petty retribution I will put you down. Such talk is disgusting, let Gan decide the fate of the unworthy.
*He looks over at Jake, barks in high speech, and grabs the butt of his gun.*
*Jake shakes his head, and talks to Roland in a much calmer tone. Roland nods once, then releases his gun.*
*They find Leo missing, and frown.*
Roland: She's alive... somewhere... no matter, I will find her and end her. But first what is wrong with this world?
---
*Jason sighs, and shakes his head.*
Jason: No, I am coming.
*Sighs as he can clearly hear the whispers.*
Jason: Listen you two... If I really wanted to kill you both I would have already, could easily shoot both of you right now. Or inform the elders of you being here, and I'm sure they would help my team kill you. Why would me coming to aid you on some fools errand, which is sure to be a trap bother you so? It makes little to no sense. So please shut the feth up, and lets go kill the dragon.

---
*Zoey eyes burn with rage at Billy's dumb smile, and she lightly backhands him (Which is like getting punched in the face really hard.)
Zoey: Get that fething grin off your face, and don't speak to me at all.
*She starts heading north, trying to comm Santi and Denny.*

----
*Brunor and Tala find Veck's cell, he is guarded by a Vanus agent.*
Vanus: May I help you?

*Nero nods and follows after Carver*
*low key disappointed that there's not any demons around*

*Santiago hears Zoey's comm and walks outside of his room*
S: Zoey, it's Santiago. What's your position?

*Kara growls and bites her tongue to stop herself from snapping at Jason*
K: ...Fine.

*Merg snarls*
Merg: Those who hurt the innocent deserve to be punished! A swift death is too merciful for scum like that!
*She glares at Roland*
Merg: I do what I feel is right. If you think it's fethed up, fine, you're no the first. I don't care. I'll do what I think needs to be done until the day I die.
*She looks at his question*
Merg: You haven't figured it out? The world's ending. Demons, the undead, hordes of them. We and a few others are all that's left...
*Her tone takes on one of bitter frustration and deep sorrow as she thinks of all the innocent souls, butchered by the invaders*


*Billy gets knocked down and spits some blood*
*He mutters under his breath as he staggers to his feet and starts to follow Zoey again*
Billy: Jeez... just tryin' t'be friendly... She needs a major chill pill...


*Iris keeps looking for food*
*She walks over to David and lightly taps him on the shoulder*
Iris: Excuse me, is there anything to eat?
*Smiles cheerily, happy to just be alive and seemingly safe again*

*Roland rounds on Merg.*
Roland: You are misguided soul, who has forgotten the face of your father. Such people like you think you mean well, but are no better then the monsters running around this world. Now be quiet, and thankful that I don't deal you lead and leave you for the carrion birds!
*He gives her a cold stare, before turning back to Jake.*
Jake: My father, Merg.. has tread on many worlds destroyed by all matter of demons... So just saying "Demons and undead," doesn't really help him understand what we are fighting...
*Jake explains in high speech about these demons, and undead. Also explains his lack of sightings of the crimson king or any of the RFs. Roland absorbs the information.*

---
*Zoey ignors Billy, and goes on comm with Santiago.*
Zoey: A couple clicks north of the rooms former location, carrying some dead weight as well so may be some time before I get to your location.

---
*David frowns at Iris, and shrugs.*
David: There is a pear tree close by.
*points in it's general direction.*

*Santiago idly checks his magnum's magazine*
S: I might be able to arrange a vehicle pickup. We're at an Imperial base, most of us managed to get here. Denny included.

*Mergoux doesn't understand what Roland meant and takes it literally*
Mergoux: I can never forget the face of my father....
*Speaks for once in a tone vacant of her usual harshness and instead sounds incredibly sad*
*She sighs*
Merg: I'm not a good person, I'll never say I am. But what I do, is what I feel needs to be done. Like it or not.


*Iris smiles and bows her head*
Iris: Thank you! Oh, I don't believe I ever caught your name.. I am Iris, the Rainbow Goddess.
*Has no shame*


*Billy tries to stop his mouth from bleeding as he chases after Zoey*

*Zoey frowns.*
Zoey: The feth is a imperial? Never mind.. yeah a vehicle pick up would be nice. Eta?

---
Jake: Merg, torturing someone just to torture is fething wrong. The only time torture is necessary is when there could be information to be gleamed, besides that it's just fethed up.
*Jake sighs and also feels a little bad for keeping this subject going considering what happened to him and Denny.*
Jake: Merg.. why don't you just shut the feth up for a bit?
*Roland remains silent, cause he knows what happened to Jake and Denny. AND also has been tortured before.*

---
*David kinda gets the idea, and just stares at the landscape.*
David: Oh, Hi...I'm David... I'm a dreadlord.
*Talks like he is at a AA meeting.*

*Iris nods*
Iris: Well David, it is a pleasure to meet you. Thank you again for helping me!
*She goes over to the pear tree, grabs some pears and starts to eat*


*Merg sighs*
Merg: I see it as what should happen instead of simple imprisonment...
*Gives Jake a look then sighs*
Merg: Fine. Let's just find Leo and put her down.
*Sheathes her sword and begins searching around, using her basic tracking skills to see if she can find anything*

*Maria and Marla are joined by Marilania in the small chapel and keep a eye on her as she somewhat more upset and generally looking after her*

*Marinalia sighs as Marla is hugged by her sister*
Come on... Please just be alive... For Marlas sake.

...

*Furia follows the tracks and does whatever Ra is doing and gets somewhat frustrated by the mad route*
Ga... This man. Mad. Make no sense.

*sits on a rock and shakes head as she looks back down a hillside at the route they took*

Ooc phone is not entirely solid so may go, or not.
I'm gonna have to try and work out a factory reset over the weekend.

*Santiago walks back inside and heads towards Joalia*
S: Should only take a few minutes, depending on the speed of the vehicle.
*closes off the comm for a moment so he can speak to Joalia*
S: I got a message from Zoey, I'll be getting a vehicle to pick her up and bring her here. It won't take long, if everything goes well.
*quickly hugs Joalia and heads outside in search of the assassin's fearless leader*

*Wade didn't give a feth about being sneaky, so he left a trail which heads away in the opposite direction the gunslinger group came from, but eventually just ends without a trace*

*Zoey nods, and stops jogging.*
Zoey: Understood, I'll hold location.
*Quickly kneels, and has her rifle ready.*

---
*Vanus agent appears next to Santiago.*
Vanus: Jason is assignment, but you may speak with George. Follow me.
*He starts to lead Santiago to George.*

---
*David nods.*
David: You're welcome.

---
*Roland already kinda figured out Leo being picked up, and teleported away.*
Roland: As I said we will find her.. maybe not today, but soon.

*Santiago nods to the Vanus, and gets lead to George*
*nods to George when he gets there*
S: I need a vehicle, if you have one to spare. There's a Spartan, Zoey, in the woods. I'd like to rendezvous with her and bring her here.

*Merg tracks Leo as best she can but makes a noise of anger as the trail ends*
Merg: She's gone. No trail I can see.


*Billy sees Zoey stop and flops down out of arms reach of her and sticks two fingers in his mouth*
Billy:You get through to someone?

Ooc night folks. Long ass day and me need zzzz

*Marla gets helped back to her room by her sister and keeps close by*
Marlin... Can you keep a eye on things round here, just keep us in the loop.

*Marinalia nods*
Sure mum. Il tell you if anything big happens. You just worry about Marla.

*heads off to main room and looks for a book, or anything to read, even if its boring*

...

*Curt heads back to his room and hops into bed*

*Morgan, Dria and Gharn walk into the main room and just sit and talk with Maril*


*Iris finishes eating and starts exploring the green as she's really got nothing better to do.*
*Walks around being friendly a smiling to anyone there, not at all bothered by them seeing her in her state of dress. If someone acts uncomfortable about it she smiles to herself and leaves them be, as she's more concerned with their embarrassment than her own*

*Gandrea meditates*

~

*Denny follows along, not really wanting to contribute to the torture conversation cause she can still remember the pain of losing her eye*

~

*The citadel remains closed for a bit longer cause I'm going out to shop for sustenance*

~

*Joal lies in Santiago's assigned room until he returns, cause she's sad*

~

*Tala frowns at the Vanus agent, then looks at Brunor*
T: This the human? Doesn't smell good...

~

*Maiev grits her teeth, then looks at Jason*
M: You... Don't understand. A lot better people than you have tried, including one of your old Master Assassin's. None of you can even get close. Even your primarchs know my name, kid. And if you dare even threaten my Kara again, I will burn the entire Imperium to the ground in a matter of days. I assure you, I will keep my word.
*She bites her tongue to stop her from saying more, but she's pretty sure she's already screwed it*

*Kara turns to look at Maiev and moves to stand between her and Jason*
K: We've said enough. Let's just kill Lusacan and the rest of the demons here.
*low key appreciated what Maiev said, but doesn't want her to be in danger of Jason*

*Jason laughs at Maiev, and shrugs.*
Jason: Oh I'm sure, the single grumpy "night elf" is going to destroy the imperium... But Maiev you're not a god, and you would die before you even got Terra's atmosphere. And believe me "granny" you have never faced a thing like me... so keep the empty threats to yourself, and lets go kill a dragon... Besides I was just pointing out how much easier it would be to kill you at the base, though fighting the two of you by myself would be fun..
*He grins a knowing grin, and keeps his hand close to one of his cylinders.*

---
*Zoey doesn't bother to look at Billy, just scans for any hostiles.*
Zoey: Yes.

---
*Roland frowns.*
Roland: You will never aid us on hunting Leo again, you are incredibly unstable, and weak minded.
*Jake winces at Roland burning Merg.*

---
*Carver and Emma spot Thoth as they walk into the base.*
Emma: WE have standing kill orders!! *She giggles at drugs pump into her system.*
*Carver grabs Emma's shoulder, and tries to pull her back slightly.*
Carver: Emma mission takes directive...

---
*Brunor frowns at the agent, then looks at Veck.*
Brunor: She is hungry.
*Vanus agent frowns at Tala, already having some intel on her.*
Vanus: Eating me would be ill advised.

*Iris goes and sits near Gandrea*
*She doesn't speak to her, or bother her as she sees Gandrea is busy, so instead she just sits contently nearby*


*Billy nods*
Billy: Sweet.
*Keeps his eyes open for anything coming at them too*


*Merg looks insulted*
Merg: Weak minded!? What the feth is that supposed to mean!? Just because I'm not some 'holier than thou' gun wielding fethwit!?
*Doesn't argue the unstable bit*


*Thoth casually glances over his shoulder*
Thoth: If you so much as attempt to assault me, I shall end your existence with a mere thought. If however you are here to battle what is in this tower, then we have a common enemy. I believe my daughter resides in here after being kidnapped. I aim to recover her. If you aide me in this endeavor, then I shall aide you with yours. Fair?
*Looks to Carver and Nero as he speaks*

*Nero frowns at Thoth*
N: I've had enough of people thinking they can threaten me, whatever you are. But yeah, I guess you can say we've got a common enemy.

*Kara growls and shakes her head*
K: We're killing Lusacan, and that is all. No one gains anything by killing each other.
*Kara actually has the urge to eat Jason, but she ignores said urge*
Why kill him now, Herald? Let him come here, and we will use his flesh to spawn more of our kind.

*Marinalia smiles and greets Morgan and Gharn happily*
*asks how the others like cal and Morri are doing because no ones seen them much*

*smiles a tiny bit awkwardly at Gharn as not knows him well as she probbly should and tries to fix It abit*

...

*Furia carries on the hound/aria team *

...

*Marla resting and and curled up, beginning to wonder if Milo will ever return given so many others have*

...

*Maria has gone to her room and is sat on bed doing best to maintain her augments and keep everything running as well sd she can with limited tools*

*Gharn nods politely but mostly sits in silence, Dria snuggled against him as she and Morgan fill Maril in on what's been going on between their family and Jason*


*Ra follows Furia*
*Horus boot prints lead in the opposite direction of the green and are going towards the Citadel*


*Horus is approaching the Citadel. He doesn't care if there's anything in there or not, he's just here to demolish it while he looks for his waifu*

*Marilania sighs as all that sounds somewhat normal*
*reminds them though they are still alive which means this group are not the most extreme imperials out there and not to do anything rash*

*chats and jokes slightly she will have to see morri at some point once all this craziness is over but seems slightly nervous about that one*

*fills them in on the Marla situation and fact Milo been missing since the first attacks*
*kinda sad as she liked her uncle*
*smiles and leans against Morgan though wearing armour may not be so fun for Morgan as without*

...

*Furia nods and finds eventual point thr routes will have to break up to go different places and kneels looking for clues*

Hot...Horas..Horus. Go right.. Back .One league.
Iriz toward south.

Only walk one.

*Ra looks grim and sighs*
Ra: Can you point me in the right direction for Horus, and go get Iris yourself? Could you bring her to the Imperial base? As much as I know Horus would hate it, she'd be safest there...


*Morgan is rather uncomfortable but still enjoys Maril's closeness*
*The twins express sympathy for Maril's uncle*

*Furia points the direction Horus took and gives a rough direction he took and frowns as she has to think about there language cursing several times natively*
South. West. Hor us took.

Can try. Iris not know well.
Good...luke Ra.
*nods and follows track to Iris and try and help Ra out*

...

*Marilania is glad for kind people but still sad at facts and rests head on shoulder*
*kinda sad as he was like one of few male direct reletives, not seeing mike much at all, her grandfather, and milo being only real ones*

*kinda shifts self into a more comfortable spot for Morgan realising she wearing fairly heavy armour with various marks, damage and other general wear and tear from her travels with helmet and other bits clipped to waist*

*Ra nods*
Ra: Alright. Good luck to you too. Be safe
*Goes after Horus*


*Morgan smiles slightly and they keep chatting for a bit unless Maril has to do something, cause imma sleep now*


*Iris slowly drifts off to sleep on the soft grass near Gandrea*

*Maiev's eye twitches from underneath her helmet, at both being called old, and being thoroughly, thoroughly underestimated*
*For Kara's sake she says no more*

~

*Denny has enough gak, and picks up Merg by the back of the neck*
D: One of those "holier than thou gun wielding fethwits" is my boyfriend, bitch.
*She then tosses Merg a few metres off the trail, and keeps walking*
D: She'll catch up.

~

*Gandrea watches Iris' sleep*

~

*Tala keeps on frowning*
T: Well I want to eat...

*Marilania smiles slightly and stays talking with the twins and gharn in the main room as she does not have anything I can think she needs to do right now*

...

*Furia keeps following Iris trail to where she is to deliver the message from Ra, keeps quiet as is now alone and follows the route carefully winding or straight depending on her mind set. *


Ooc turns out my phone managed to fill its own memory it seems to use to function and then not leave ernough to run other things..
Man ita a dunce.

*Roland rounds on Merg again.*
Roland: Yes you are-
*Watches her get thrown away, and doesn't argue.*
*Jake sighs, and puts a arm around Denny's waist.*
Jake: It's okay, don't let her get to you...

---
*Jason shrugs at Kara's words, and grins.*
Jason: Of course..
*He lights a cigarette, and can't help but smile.*
Jason: Now let's get a move on.

---
*Emma just laughs crazily, and nods to Carver.*
Carver: We don't need you, you arrogant gak bag bird..

---
*Vanus agent knows he's in a slight pickle, and weighs some options.*
Vanus: Well... if someone were to eat this traitors space marines arm, and left without issue... I could see someone writing a report about the space marines arm being removed for torture reasons.

---
*George nods to Santiago.*
George:I can get you a air transport... is it Zoey?

---
*Zoey waits.*

*Kara nods and ignores Jason's grin*
*keeps walking with the group, and suppresses her urges*
*eventually the trio reaches the edge of the cave, and both growling and primal noises reach the group, along with the strong scent of decay*
K: Home sweet home. It'd look better as a sand lot.

*Nero looks back at Carver*
N: You know this guy? Or do people just have a habit of rude introductions?

*Santiago nods*
S: Possibly others. She mentioned extra weight.

*Veck keeps on meditating*

OOC:
If you could not maim my characters while I'm gone working on term papers that would be just dandy

OOC: Well this won't be Veck but one of the traitorous marines stationed here with Veck.

One day... all the plot armor is gonna kill this thread.

OOC:
Not so much plot armor as I didn't want to come back to my character being mauled. I'm ok with him being hurt, but I would just rather anyone who wants to hurt him talk to me about it first

*Jason frowns at the cave entrance.*
Jason: So I'm sure your Master knows we are here, why no welcoming party? Or is there a ambush for us inside?
*He keeps watching the entrance unphased by the smells.*

---
*Carver nods.*
Carver: Thoth, one of the more powerful Elders, bunch of arrogant creatures who say they do good, but do nothing at all. At least that's what we learned... He on the other hand is more of a sinister threat with his quest for knowledge.
*Emma growls.*
Emma: And he's a fething bird...

---
*George nods.*
George: Understood, I'll have a pilot waiting for you at the landing pad.

*Kara shakes her head*
K: Once we're in deep enough, he'll block the exits and flood us with Darkspawn. Probably weak things first, to wear us out.

*Nero nods*
N: Sounds like some people I had the pleasure of knowing back home. Before they er, bit the bullet, so to speak.

*Santiago nods*
S: Thank you.
*turns and heads off to the landing pads*

*Maiev tilts her head slightly*
M: Is he in the same spot he was last time? I can blink us there, but a blink of more than three people will drain me a lot...

~

*Denny shrugs*
D: She ain't.

~

*Tala tilts her head, and a small smile appears on her face*
T: That sounds like fun...

OOC Boo hoo my character is going to be hurt, boo hoo, I need to talk to someone over it not happening, boo hoo.
Lurkers, I swear.

*Furia follows Iris trail carefully and slowly so to reduce her own tracks*
*follows her route after a few mistakes and detours*
*curses quietly in her native tongue when she relises she had taken a loop for a second and regains the old track again*

...

*Maria heads put into coridor and looks for one of staff*
Hey... I am wondering if I can get something, not asking for guns or anything extreme like that.

Do you have access to a augment maintenance kit, imperial comparable to a level 4 mars pattern spinal augment?

Jason: I'm sure, well how do we kill him then?
*He grabs a cylinder, and tosses it into the air.*
Jason: Well... shall we?

---
*Carver nods.*
Carver: I would say the same for most the elders... but for Thoth... but we need special agents for him... maybe you could kill him though.
*He shrugs.*

---
George: You're welcome.
*George returns to his work.*
*Valkyrie lifts off when Santi get's in.*

---
*Vanus agent nods.*
Vanus: You are a very strange creature... well go get your fill then. We need him alive though, all the traitorous Ultramarines are to be executed after all of this. Evidently Roboute himself wishes to handle the deed personally. This Veck and his lies have personally angered him on a whole new level... but I digress.

*Thoth sighs*
Thoth: I am standing directly in front of you. If you are going to discuss my demise could you at least do it under some pretense of secrecy?
*He clicks his beak impatiently*
Thoth: If you do not wish for my help then I shall not give it. Farewell.
*Turns away and continues trying to break open the door*


*Iris blinks, yawns, stretches and looks around*
*She smiles at Gandrea*
Iris: Oh! Good morning!


*Merg was absolutely not expecting to be bodily tossed and is done so without much of a fight*
*She gets thrown and hits a tree, stunning her briefly and opening a cut on her scalp.*
*After a bit she stumbles to her feet, pulls a cloth from her bag and presses it to the wound while trailing after the trio*
*She considers starting a fight but ultimately decides that the trio is predominately good, even if not by her standards. Plus she knows it wouldn't end well for her.*
*INstead once she catches up she says nothing, simply pressing the cloth to her cut and looking around for Leo or any other threats*

*Carver shrugs.*
Carver: Then leave, or get out of the way.
*Emma twitches in anger.*
---
*Jason shrugs.*
Jason: I'm just here for support, you two must decide how we handle this.

---
*Roland and Jake don't even bother looking back at Merg.*

---
*Tb stands before Furia, and frowns.*
Tb: Let me guess.. you want to stay here as well...
*He sighs.*

*Furia looks up at treebeard somewhat suprised and thinks*

Came too... To find Iriz.
Hor..Horus was tracking...Ra, was seeking Iriz.. Make sure safe.
Hall on pla...Planet. Warriors there.

...

*Marilania remains chatting with twins and gharn about stuff and generally keeping mind off things*
*seems more relaxed round Morgan than others at times*

*The door Thoth is trying to break snickers in laughter*

~

*Denny also doesn't look back at Merg, cause she's pleased with how she dealt with her, and doesn't care if she broke any bones, let alone has a small cut*

~

*Tala can't help but lick her lips at the prospect of food*
T: I don't care who they are, just get me in a room with one of them, and I'll make sure there isn't enough left to identify their body. .

~

*Gandrea stares at Iris for a bit with a very bored look, then goes back to drawing runes, cause she found Iris' body more interesting when it wasn't moving or talking*

*Nero shrugs*
N: Maybe. But for now, he's just a guy looking for his daughter. No matter how ugly.

*Kara closes her eyes and shakes her head*
K: It might still be there. Or it might not. We should save your energy, to blink us out. Getting rid of Lusacan might mean we have to raze the whole cave.
*turns to look at Jason*
K: If he is hurt enough, he will go to the Fade. He can be killed there.

*Santiago nods and gets into the choppa'*

*Thoth shakes his head*
Thoth; I'm afraid I cannot do that. I believe my daughter to be inside this place.
*He frowns at the door and tries several spells*


*Merg follows along silently*
*Despite herself she has a slightly increased level of respect for Denny cause of just how easily she was dealt with.*
*She's not really resentful towards any of the trio, just more annoyed.*


*Calluna has fallen asleep again*


*Iris blinks, seems rather surprised and perhaps even a little hurt, because she likes being friends with people*
Iris: Um. Alright then.
*Rolls over and lies back down, staring at the runes Gandrea's drawing in mild interest but otherwise remaining still cause she's still drained from the healing she did. Is rather bored and starts drifting off again*


*Morgan has a arm around Maril and looks down at her as they talk*

*Eventually Gharn and Dria excuse themselves and go to bed*

*Marilania smiles and notices maybe where looking but makes no real effert to protest*
Like what you see then...

*gives a cheeky smile*
Hard to belive one time you went pink at a friendly greeting.
*rather happy she made him more confident *

If we make it home... I dunno..
Something positive anyway.

*Jake leads the group back to the base. Eddie stands at the front smoking a cigarette, he bow low to Roland, but still keeps his smile.*
Eddie: Well met, Dinh.
*Roland studies Eddie for a long time, before hugging him.*
Roland: Well met, Ka- tel... what has happened to you? Let us speak of it later, we have prey to hunt.
*Rounds on Merg.*
Roland: This is where you leave, and never follow my tet again.
*Eddie looks at Merg.*
Eddie: Somebody fethed up... and look you got a cut for it too!
Jake: Shut up Eddie.

---
*Tb groans at the worthless words.*
Tb: Hate names... green doesn't need names... it just grows... find whoever it is you want and... go.

---
Emma: SHUT UP BIRD!
*Emma starts to hyperventilate.*
Carver: Emma relax, and set your Melta bomb on the door.
*He hears the laughing, and frowns. Emma twitch nods, and hurls the melta bomb at the door/Thoth.*
Emma: Whoops! Bird got in the way!
*Carver facepalms.*

---
*Jason nods.*
Jason: Let's move in, I'm hungry for a fight.

*Furia nods slightly scared by giant talking trees*
I..will.
Only seek iris... Not hurt ..
Make sure safe.

Than....thanky...thankyou.
*enters the green and looks for iris to try and pass on her information *

Iriz?
Meet Ra... Make sure safe?

*Merg nods to Roland*
Merg: Fine. I'll find her myself. Farewell and good luck.
*Has calmed down quite a bit and tries to be a bit more respectful because Roland is obviously a friend of Jake and Denny and she respects those two from their time traveling together. Plus she don't wanna get shot *


*Thoth rolls his eyes and casts a powerful shield over himself to protect from the blast*
Thoth: Are you determined to aggravate me?


*Horus approaches the Citadel and rips the door off it's hinges then starts looking around*


*Morgan smiles and kisses her*
Morgan: You bet I do.
*Looks somewhat saddened*
Morgan: If we make it outta here in one piece... than it'll be a fething miricle


*Iris fell asleep again lol*

*Marinalia smiles sadly*
There's a old phrase...

You can live a lifetime in a day and live a life time and not have lived at all.
I read it at schola, only past few weeks I worked out its meaning.
*kisses back and yawns dozing off on morgan trustingly*
*he can carry her back to her room or such if want OT. *

...

*Furia looks round green and seems perplexed by it all. *
*decides to rest for avit and seach after lieing on grass and throwing cloak over self*

Ooc night.

*Nero raises his Devil Bringer in front of him, and moves away from the bomb*
N: Don't think she cares what you think.

*Kara glances backwards at Jason before taking the lead into the cave*
K: You're not the only one.
*remembers the sight of Darkspawn chewing their way through prisoners*
Took you long enough to come here, Jason. Shadowsong, I can't say I'm surprised to see that the Herald lured you here.
*Kara growls as Lusacan addresses the trio*
K: Leave her alone you bastard, I'm the one you want.

*Jason grins at Kara, then laughs at voice.*
Jason: Sorry! Have better things to worry about then some over sized lizard! Now come on out let's make this quick! I have a world to save...

---
*Emma laughs.*
Emma: All I need are some blanks, then I'd cut you up... bird.
*Carver sighs.*
Carver: Emma enough.. not now.
*Emma gnashes her teeth again.*

*Thoth frowns*
Thoth: Attempt this again and I shall not show further leniency towards you. I have attempted such, so far as to not distance myself further from Jason and his... Imperials.


*Morgan smiles, lifts Maril up and takes her to bed*

*Idk what citadel Horus is at, but the door doesn't rip off*

~

*The door Thoth, Emma, Nero and other guy is at opens up on its own, barely scratched by Thoth's magic and the bomb*
Voice from inside: Come, worms, come into my domain...
~

*Denny keeps walking, then looks at Eddie for a few moments, then keeps on walking*

~

*Hakan smiles at Calluna, then casts a sleep spell on her, then disappears*

~

*Maiev grits her teeth at the taunting, then tilts her head*
M: Let's get a move on. The longer we're here the more likely we are to die.
*She actually kinda wishes Illidan was here, cause he'd make short work of the Darkspawn, and probably Lusacan*
*She will never, EVER admit the above*

~

*Ganny keeps drawing*

*Nero smirks and gestures forwards through the doorway with his Devil Bringer*
N: Ladies first.

*Kara nods*
K: Agreed.
*keeps leading the trio, taking the shortest route she knows to get to Lusacan's lair*
*it's not very far before the group is set upon by Genlocks, with the occasional Hurlock*
*Kara starts blasting the DS that are coming from behind them, but is trying to save her energy for Lusacan*

*Jason sighs at the hulocks, and Genlocks.*
Jason: Not even worth the energy...
*He simply blocks attacks with his forearm, and punches the creatures in the chest pulverizing their innards.*
Jason: Lets keep pushing forward.

---
*Emma giggle, and quickly runs through the doors.*
*She has her pistol out, and scans for targets.*
*Carver follows, having his sniper at the ready.*

---
*Eddie looks over at Denny, and smiles.*
*They keep searching through the forest to find Leo.*

*Iris mumbles and rolls in her sleep*


*Horus was at the Citadel Thoth went to first. The empty one*
*He tries breaking in to smash the place to bit in search of Iris*


*Thoth calmly strides after Emma and Carver, peering around curiously*


*Merg walks away from the others, going North in search of Leo*
*She stalks quietly, trying not to draw any attention to herself*


*Calluna begins to snore softly*

*As the quad walk through the door, it closes behind them, and torches light up on their own, lighting the way further into the citadel*

~

*Horus ain't getting through that door anytime soon/ever*

~

*Maiev puts her hand on Kara's shoulder to pull her back a little bit, then moves in front of her, and starts cleaving a path through the darkspawn*
*She is next to untouchable, and whenever she is touched, her armour is strong enough and enchanted enough to withstand it unless a troll steps on her or something*

~

*Illidan eventually gives up looking for Mannoroth's skull, and starts flying back to the Imperial Camp*

*Nero casually walks with the group, and doesn't flinch from the shutting door*
N: Guess we're here to stay. Devil's got a deathwish.

*Kara takes up rearguard, and the trio butcher their way through the Darkspawn*
*a new voice enters Maiev's mind, sounding much different than Lusacan*
Shadowsong, Lusacan is luring you into a trap. He... He intends to take my Herald with him, if he falls.
*while the numbers don't seem to dwindle, Darkspawn trolls and massive spiders also join the fray*

*Jason sighs with annoyance at the ever increasing horde.*
Jason: Well now it's interesting...
*He grabs one of the cylinders on his vest, and crushes it. The green flesh inside is quickly absorbed through Jason's hand, and a rapid change happens to him. His body bulks up, and chitin plate seems to rapidly grow all over him. His arm reshapes to be a large sword, and his other arm some form of ranged bio weapon.*
*He wordlessly starts slicing down, and blasting anything in his path, if one of the hurlock or Genelock manages to get past his guard a barbed tentacle extends from his back quickly implaing the creature..*
*His movements are so fast that even Roland would be impressed, as he starts rapidly making his way to the ogres.*

---
*Emma gnashes her teeth in anticapation of the oncoming fight.*
*Carver keeps his sniper ready.*
Carver: Yes we are...

*Horus tries breaking into the castle other ways, including using Earth magic to break down the walls, or make a pillar high enough for him to get on top of the castle and enter through there or a window or something*


*Thoth frowns*
Thoth: Hm...
*Attempts to teleport/blink just outside the door and back again.*


*Iris sleeps for a while longer*


*Merg keeps looking around*


*Scatty is trapped in her own mind. Fighting a mental battle not to slip away as Cal tries to keep her alive*

*Thoth is able to blink out without any problem, but on his return back he goes through a acid trip of extreme proportions*

~

*Horus ain't getting in*

~

*The torches continue lighting as the group walks, lighting up whenever they're going the way the voice wants them to, and staying dark when they ain't going the right way*
*The voice laughs a continuous laugh, getting louder as the group get closer to the destination it chose for the group*

~

*Maiev grits her teeth, and has to somewhat slow down to take out the trolls, which mostly involves blink tactics*
M: (I... What do I do, then? I'm not losing her, Voice In My Head.)
*She leaves the spiders to Jason and Kara cause she has very slight arachnophobia*

*Iris wakes again, yawns, smiles at Gandrea and goes to get something to eat. As she walks away she looks over her shoulder, smiling teasingly*
Iris: I'm going to get something to eat. You want some, Miss Silent-treatment?


*Horus roars in temper and hammers on the walls for a bit with his massive strength before finally giving up in fury and returning to searching for Iris*


*Thoth blinks back in, arriving eyes wide with shock at the trip*
Thoth: Well then... Not doing that again...
*Stands up, straightens his tie and looks around*
*Thoth ignores the torches and explores as he sees fit*
*He tries to cast a spell that would basically make a mini-sun float above his head*

*Emma keeps scanning for targets, looking for threats.*
*Carver Opens a pouch, and a series of cyber-gnats fly from the pouch, and scatter across the room.*

---
*Jason slaughters the darkspawn, making his way across the field of battle. He crushes another cylinder, and consumes the bio mass to produce some strange bio needle thrower.*
*He begins spraying the darkspawn in needles, while firing his strange bio gun.*
*Does not consume darkspawn bio mass cause he did his research.*

*Curt walks out of his room and heads to the kitchen*

Curt: (Wonder if these guys have a shooting range.)

*He grabs himself a quick sandwich and takes it to the main room*

*Marilania stirs and looks round realising she got moved*
*panics for a second until notices her room and Morgan and calms again*

*kinda curses as stiff from sleeping unless Morgan removes parts of her armour and looks round *
Morning...guess I was more tired that I thought. Thanks for carrying me.

...

*Furia gets up and looks round clearing/area of green properly*
Strange hall.. No fire. No man work.

*looks round for iris exploring the green abit as its different *
Iriz...where you. Ra send..

*tries again in native language*
Iris.. Ra sent me after tracking Horus. Wants to make sure you safe and tell of hall where surviving clan went..

*Morgan had removed her armor cause that gaks uncomfortable to sleep in*
*He jolts awake from where he fell asleep in a chair*
Morgan: Mmm...ph. Morning.
*Smiles slightly*
Morgan: Happy to oblige


*Iris cocks her head as she hears her name*
Iris: Hold that thought.
*Walks towards Furia*
Iris: Hello? Ra sent you, you said?

*Furia nods and not quite sure where to look ad basicaly naked and despite used to it pauses a for a second*

You Iriz?
Ra send ... Tracked Hor...Horus..
Not find. Ra Hunt.
Make sure safe.

Furia... Know thoeth, Ra. Calluna Mother.

*switches to native to see if works in far more smooth language*
Your language is second to me. I only know basics of this tongue.

...

*Marilania smiles and stretches*
Seems like I have a gurdian Morgan.

*smiles as old Morgan would of never done that a few days ago and cuddles for abit as comfortable Marlin now*

*smiles and stands up a few minutes later*
Just nipping for a shower.
Never know when we gonna get one next right now.
*heads off to shower but open door means that line of sight is not entirely blocked*

*Iris nods and her smile turns to a nervous frown*
Iris: I'm Iris. Ra sent you? Well I'm safe for now, I think. Did you see any signs of Horus? Er, did you see tracks of Horus?



*Morgan smiles and yawns*
Morgan: You could say that I guess!
*He bites his lip as he she goes to shower and he sees a bit and debates on what to do*

*Curt heads back to his room to play video games or something*

*Furia looks down, goes abit pinker and decides up is answer and concentrates on up not down *

Track... Yes. Signs.
Made no sense... North, east, west.
Tracks mad... Alive... Both.

*sighs*
Your tongue.. Not first.
Weaker.

...

*Marinalia keeps showering and deliberately makes sure he gets a reward of a view for carrying her*
*singing along to a old song she remembers in Martian happily*
*making things difficult *

...

*Maria waves to curt as passing. Heads back to her room after grabbing something to eat*
*has no reason not to be friendly to curt*

*Iris smiles in spite of herself and folds her arms over her chest*
Iris: He's probably worried sick looking for me... Is there a chance you would be able to take me to him?
*She smiles kindly, sits and pats the ground next to her*
Iris: Come, sit. Maybe I can help you learn to speak our tongue a bit better? Please, tell me what you know.
*Sits and talks with Furia as I sleep now*


*Morgan gets up*
Morgan: Oh you deliberate tease!
*He walks into the bathroom, get's undressed and joins her for a very memorable shower*

*Furia*

Can.. But Ra .. Say go to hall. Not know clan...
*describes a imperial eagle and skulls badly*

*sits down and starts giving her a idea of her english which is limited mostly to language she need like hunting, basic English and such.
Only speaks, not read or write English.
*also tries to explain in fluent native tongue if she remotely understand it*

...

*Marinalia smiles*
Not denying it... More fun sharing.
*enjoys shower as might as well make most of the end of the world because not much else left*

*There are no enemies in the citadel, but a fair few gnats just disintegrate when they go to certain areas, and the mini-sun that Thoth conjured up doesn't shine any light at all, at least in the parts the voice doesn't want him to*
*The voice continues laughing as the path Thoth walks in shifts before his eyes into one that leads him right back to the other group*

*Nero shrugs*
N: Just let the Devil have his fun. He won't be laughing when I knock his teeth out.

*Kara keeps blasting the enemies that come from behind them, and drains some of them to restore her mana*
If you want to save her, you will have to let her go. You cannot fight all of her battles for her, Shadowsong.
*the trio are steadily approaching Lucy's lair, and the cave starts to tremble occasionally, with dust falling on their heads*

*Thoth sighs in frustration and reluctantly follows the torches*
*Frowns at Nero*
Thoth: Assuming you are speaking about me, I have a beak. I have no teeth to knock out.


*Iris sighs*
Iris: So I'm supposed to just wait there?
*She sighs and patiently helps Furia with some basic English lessons to get her speaking just a tiny bit better*
*Absolutely does not speak Furia's tongue*


*Morgan 'showers' with Maril for a while*
Morgan: Way more fun
*Grins*

*Nero turns his head to see Thoth*
N: I wasn't talking about you. I meant the laughing gak hole that's messing with the lights. Like I said before, you're just some grandpa looking for his daughter, as far as I care.

*The voice waits for ZK to wake up to progress in the 'killing' of the demons*

~

*Maiev completely freezes, leaving herself open to anything*
M: (Wh-what?.. L-leave her? Hold the feth up, why the feth should I trust anything you say?!)
*She is really, really focused on the voice*

*Furia sighs and thinks*
Thoeth .. Come go, send me Ra...Ra Track Horas...Horus.
Calluna missing.. Thoeth search. Me sent like ... Bag...

Choose you?
Woaman run clan?


*does notice the others round the green as she looks round*
Who this clan? This place difference. .. No different.
...

*Marilania has rather alot of fun and eventually sat on bed half dressed drying her hair off lazily and no real inclination to want to end her happy moments *

*smiles slightly*
Maybe not your familes idea of keeping you out of trouble...
Seems to working though... *winks slightly *

*A Hurlock takes a swipe at Maiev's side with an axe while she's exposed*
Because I am Andraste, bride of the Maker, and I have marked Kara as my Herald long ago. I want to warn you, so that you can ensure Lusacan's destruction and my Herald's safety.

*Iris puts a arm around Furia's shoulders*
Iris: Your daughter's missing and he sends you away? That seems cruel... even if it is for your own safety...
*Feelsbadman*
Iris: Run clan? Er, no I don't. I don't understand?
*Squeezes Furia's shoulder*
Iris: Thoth may be a jerk, but he's powerful. He should be able to get Calluna back to you.
*She looks around the green*
Iris: I'm not sure exactly. There's some sort of treeant here, along with a rather nice 'dreadlord' named David and a woman who likes to draw runes. I don't know her name but she doesn't speak, so I just call her "Miss Silent Treatment"


*Thoth frowns*
Thoth: That statement makes little sense. Grampa looking for my daughter? Why not say Father, or Old man?
*Muses as he walks along*


*Morgan is lying on the bed, grinning happily*
Morgan: Might not be their idea... but I'm enjoying it at least!

*Nero sighs*
N: Grandpa because you're old. You always take the fun out of everything?

*Thoth blinks*
Thoth: Are you even aware of my age? I was not inclined to believe so.
*He frowns*
Thoth: Fun is relative. Perhaps some enjoy crude jokes about feces, while others prefer self-aware humor or surrealism

*Nero sighs again*
N: Got my answer.
*looks back ahead and slips a hand into his pocket*

*Furia nods sadly*
Send me to Ra... Safe... He look... Don,t know more... Flash.. New place... Cold man...
*looks worried for Calluna and slightly annoyed at going two, throw and teleported*

You clan... You Ra, Horus.. ? Thoeth?
Someone lead clan... Lord?

*draws blank at names there and looks round rather confused at the strange people and things if in sight and slightly nervous of them as her people have a wary caution of magic and those of the magical realms*

Place strange... Safe. ?

...

*Marilania lies back after a while and hair still dangles longer and straighter though*
Aye... Well we have no tv... Gotta entertain selves somehow... *giggles slightly*

*looks down at her scar on stomach and winces slightly*
I've certainly had a interesting few months.. This bits definitely a bonus.

*thinks*
I've always wondered... All your people out there... How many are even out there?

*Thoth continues to frown as he examines the halls they walk*
*Attempts to take torches from off the wall, find out what the walls are made of, how they shift and change ETC.*


*Iris sighs and nods, squeezes Furia's shoulder again and looks down at her*
Iris: Thoth is.. I don't know. Ra can sometimes be a bit selfish too. Horus is fine, I know he is.

*She ponders for a moment*
Iris: Not... really. We don't have a leader. We kinda do our own thing. There are families, but often times they aren't on good terms. They don't like each other

*She then looks around and nods*
Iris: I think we're safe here. There's plenty of food and water, and I've not seen any demons yet.



*Morgan cuddles Maril and plays gently with her body as answers.*
Morgan: Interesting is right... It's been kinda rough at times...
*He thinks for a bit*
Morgan: I'm... not sure. Dad said at the height of our power, there were about 20,000 of us, after the fall, there were no Elder children until Scatty and Aoife were born. After that, I'm not sure how many births there were. I know they were rare.
Elders can only have children once they're about 300, and even then they can't have more than one child a millennia. It's physically not possible.
Birthing twins is also incredibly hard for Elders. Scatty and Aoife's mum died in childbirth, and my Mum would have died if not for my dad being so good as what he does....
*He shakes his head*
Morgan: Ultimately I don't know. My best guess? There's fewer than 3000 of us left alive. We're a dying race...
*Looks pretty upset*

*Furia nods and seems to think Iris is nicer than the others though keeps eyes up as too tempting to look*

*nods at descriptions *
Horus good? *mind clicks as links facts* Horus ... You Mates?

*gestures to cloak and points to iris*
You cold?
Furs... Warm. Bear, hunted by clan mate.

*looks round and relaxes slightly but has to think hard on language she learned*
Still.. We not ... My clan, we dis...distrust mage and there kin folk.

No lord. My... Kin. We live as clan. Had lord, warriors, hunter's.



...

*Marinalia lies back and reacts audably and physically at one or two touches but not hurt*
I'm... Kinda ... sensitive there...

Sorry... I did not want to upset you. *genuinely* I just was curious.
Things can change. Your family seem to be one who are breaking that mould, thoeth too.

Humanity has survived dark times.. Other groups have, both good and foe.

*Jason keeps butchering, at the point his sword split into a series of barbed tentacles.*
*He whips them around, and slaughters anything that gets in his arc.*
Jason (Sounding wet, and a little echo): Where is it, Kara?!
*He roars sending needles into the ranks of spiders.*

*Emma's sensor relay tracks her crazed head movements.*
Emma: Shut the feth up bird!
*Carver sighs, and keeps walking.*

---
*Zoey watches the valkyire approach, and stands up.*
Zoey: Come along, slow.

*Iris nods and smiles*
Iris: Horus is my husband, yes. And he is very
good*Smiles to herself as she finds Furia's attempts not to look at her, cute.*
*she looks at the cloak*
Iris: I'm not cold, but I'll wear it if it'd make you more comfortable.
*Smiles kindly*
Iris: Once, a long time ago we had lords. We were lords! I was a princess in a golden palace...
*She trails off as she remembers those times fondly*
Iris: I know it sounds like something from a fairytail, but it was... a good time for me. I wanted for nothing, had Horus, his sister Nepthys, my parents... My brother too!
*She sighs sadly*
Iris: Gone now... All but Horus and my brother...


*Morgan smiles slightly*
Morgan: I guessed as much from how you were in the shower...
*Continues playing with her as he talks*
Morgan: It's alright... I'm not upset. Just... suck to know your race is probably gonna die out yeah? I mean humans breed so quickly, but Elders... we can die just like you, in combat, but we have few children. I'm not going to be able to have any kids with anyone for another three centuries!


*Billy gives Zoey a look like "Really? That's the best you could do?" and stands up*
Billy: Alrighty. Who'd y'get in contact with? Santiago or Denny?
*Hopes it's Santiago as though he respects Denny, Santiago's a better friend.*


*Thoth ignores Emma and mutters under his breath as he examines their surroundings*

*Kara glances backwards while dousing the area behind them in fire*
K: Close. I can sense him, in all of his stench.
Are there others like you, Jason?
*Lusacan also attempts to taunt Maiev, but is blocked off by Andraste*
*Kara's silhouetted form has vanished by now, and she looks more corrupted than ever*

*Santiago waits for the valkyrie to land, and stands at the doors of it with his shotgun at the ready*
S: Welcome aboard.

*Wade teleports outside the Assassin camp with a 5'8 girl with green eyes and short, brown hair*
DP: Well Hanna, here's our new home. Gotta be better than that eggplant gak bag we were with before.
*sighs and reloads his pistol, cause it's magazine was one bullet short*

*Hanna makes sure to stay behind Wade*

Hanna: Y-yeah. Anywhere is better than there...

*She rubs the back of her head and follows Wade*

*Furia hands over cloak*
You.. Look rather... Tasty? *does not know her implications *

I was .. Clan hunter. Nonac was fre...frind. Friend.
Clans... I was respected. Both lost clans..

*has to think for a minute to work out her words carefully*
Princess... Like blonde.. Marinarl?
Met her.. Buy furs...

*looks round*
Show me... Where food?
Meat?

...

*Marinalia smiles sligtly*
I'm going to have to not have many secrets left soon!
*reacts again and has to work to keep composure*

You learn... Quickly...

Humans have are fair share of challenges.. We breed fast but die fast too. It ain't exactly easy universe.

And.. You have that ... Other realm... Your people hide, safe, away from the dangers.
We have no where to run but stand our ground.

*gives up mantaining her composure and purrs slightly and goes pink*
Ok.. You .. Found the.. Sweet spot.

*Wade nods, and looks around*
DP: Think this place will have ice cream?
*walks towards the entrance of this place and giggles*
DP: Assassins show up in three...

*Iris looks flattered and splotches of pink appear briefly on her skin before settling back to blue*
Iris: Tasty? Why thank you!
*She wraps the cloak around herself as best she can*
Iris: Nonac? I don't think I ever had the pleasure...
*Smiles slightly and nods*
Iris: Like Marilania, yes! She's a nice young girl... goof friend.
*Iris raises a eyebrow*
Iris: You like meat huh? Well I'm afraid there only appear to be pears here. Fruit. Want some?
*She points to the pear tree*


*Morgan smiles and keeps going*
Morgan: You're a good teacher, whether you mean to be or not.
*He nods sadly*
Morgan: You do die quicker yes, but you can replenish your numbers so much faster than we can.
*He blinks and stops for a moment*
Morgan: The Shadow realms? Safe? Oh no, no no no. There are terrors there, worse than Tyranids. More Elders have died in the shadow realms, fighting monsters than have died fighting in this realm.
*He goes back to his ministrations and grins*
Morgan: Every bit of you is a sweet spot
*Winces slightly right after he said that*
Morgan: Danu... when did I get so cheesey?


*Billy grins and walks towards Santiago, arm outstretched to shake hands*
Billy: Hey! Good t'see ya alive and well! What the feth happened while we were gone?!


*Black Hawk is outside the base smoking peyote and nods to Wade (NOT Curt) and Hanna*
BH: Good afternoon to you.

*Hanna stays huddled behind Wade*

*She looks behind her to make sure her back pack is closed*

*Furia nods*

*goes to find some pears and throws some over to iris *
You... Hung...Hungary?

*Marinalia gives up and fails to reply intelligently for abit*
You...learn... Too ...quickly!

So... So you found a ... Hell worse than this one... Damn.
Here's me thinking your kind had found somewhere to hide from things.

*laughs as line is pure cheese while trying answer*
I don,t know.... Maybe you just eggcelled at it?

...

*Maria goes to grab some food sat on a crate on surface as wanted some fresh air*

*notices the red and black suit*
Deadpool! I should not be surprised your alive... Welcome to the last Bastian..

*The axe itself bites deep into Maiev's side, which she barely notices cause she's too busy trying to piece together what the voice in her head is saying*
M: (S-so... you want me to let... Him... take my Kara?)
*She finally notices her wound, and coughs up blood into her helmet, and slashes the Hurlock's throat with her gauntlet*
M: ...I... That was careless.
*She stumbles back a bit and supports herself on the wall to see how serious the wound is*

*Torches don't get pulled off or anything*
*Path eventually leads to a giant ass door, which creaks open as the four approach*
Voice: Come on in, heroes.
