Some of our researchers believe that our society has diverged so much from human baseline, that we're beginning to be completely incomprehensible. It's sobering to remember that without the ceramic, aluminium, and neural weave, I'm still a person. With random impulses and a lack of control over them.
*Shakes head slowly*
I don't believe that it is inherently wrong. I believe that... anyone has the right to do what they want, unless it harms others.
If it is truly useful... good. I may find a use for them. But it looks bleak and irritating, right now.

*Santiago keeps wiping sweat off of Joalia*
S: You'll get through this, Joal. I believe in you.

*Daveth smiles and nods*
D: Impressive, Werefang. Tell me, what do you know about the Watchman?

*Iris nods*
Iris: I think the same, so long as you aren't hurting things, then let your impulses free. Well... except perhaps impulse purchasing
*She hugs Miritas and smiles gently*
Well Evylyn, I'm here to help you see it as something other than "bleak and irritable". Who knows what could happen now? That's part of the fun


*Gharn frowns*
Gharn: Err... I know it's a film...

*Daveth sighs*
D: What? No, the Watchman. Of the Night. My band all follows him, carrying out his wishes whenever we can. He has made sure to reward us well for our services.

Oh... I could have repeating pyromaniacal urges. You wouldn't know.
*Smile that makes it clear that she's kidding*
I don't worry about impulse purchasing... I beheld a daemon and found nothing that I wanted. Probably a side effect of the Implant, but I like to think that I have achieved nirvana.
*Nods*
...Thank you. For resolving to me. I truly appreciate it. Right now... I shall sleep. I feel something I haven't in a long time. Tiredness.

*Gharn shakes his head*
Gharn: Never heard of this person


*Iris laughs*
Iris: Oh I'm sure we could help you past those!
*She looks taken aback*
Iris: You what? A demon? I-
*Smiles kindly*
Iris: You're very welcome Evylyn. That sounds like a good idea, sleep well!
*Hugs her one last time before bed then sits and smiles, happy she was able to make someone's day better*

*Daveth sighs again*
D: He is more than a person, Werefang. So much more than any man. He is a god.

*Gharn nods*
Gharn: Ohhh. Still nothing. Never heard of him. Should I have?

*Stretches again, then walks to the kitchen to get some food*
*Is blue*

*Joal still refuses to look at Santiago, and keeps on trying*

*Leo stomps into the main room and looks for something to hit*

*Heads towards the gym*

*Daveth just shakes his head*
D: It's not your fault. It's my job to make sure people have heard about him. Now, where do I start? The Watchman is the embodiment of the Night. It is his domain. I have served him for many years now, none of them with regret.

*Santiago watches Joalia, and wishes he could do more to help her*

*Dria waves to Blue*
Dria: Morning Blue!


*Morgan feeds Remus then walks to Horus's workshop to continue a project*


*Gharn nods, then shifts back and sits*
Gharn: I see.
*not really into this*

*Rita grabs one of the jars, and starts licking up the left over blood in them. She becomes frantic almost like a dog with a jar of peanut butter.*
*Hates herself for it.*

---

*Gaunter O'Dimm walks through the front door, and takes a seat on one of the couches.*
Gaunter: Oh my! Newcomers! I must introduce myself, I am Gaunter O'Dimm

*Walks into the kitchen, and raids the kitchen*
*Grabs a large leg of meat for Leo, then continues eating some other meat*
*Chirps at Dria with a beakful of bloody meat*

~

*Joalia's tail twitches again, gets missed again, and she gives up for the night cause she's panting like no tomorrow*

*Gharn frowns at O'Dimm*
Gharn: That name sounds familiar... Who are you?

*Daveth looks over at Gaunter and nods*
D: Another inhabitant. This place is fuller than I give it credit.

*Santiago puts the damp towel on Joalia's forehead to help her cool off and removes any excess blankets*
S: You did good. Would you like some water?

*Rita licks the jars clean, then curls up in bed.*
*Silently cries.*

---
*Gaunter shrugs.*
Gaunter: I am a merchant that is all! Would you care for anything?

*Joalia looks away from Santiago then nods*
*Still looks guilty and shameful*

*Gharn shrugs to Gaunter*
Gharn: I doubt it. What do you sell?

*Jake finishes beating Red dead, and feels for John Marsten.*
*He lights up another cigarette, walks to the kitchen, and starts making a couple sandwiches.*

----

*Gaunter shrugs.*
Gaunter: I sell everything.... what do you need?

*Gharn's face registers shock and he blinks*
Gharn: Everything?... You sell... what?! That's impossible!

*Shrugs at not getting anything else out of Dria, then walks out of the kitchen, looking for Leo*
*Actually lifting the leg this time*

~

*Denny walks out of the very long inspection(COUGH) and gets dressed*
*Stretches a few times, takes off her eyepatch, and instead grabs a black piece of cloth, and wraps it over her head to cover her missing eye*
*Walks out looking for someone to talk to*

*Santiago's face falls momentarily as Joalia looks away*
*regains his composure and quickly gets a glass of water for Joalia before propping her up to help her drink it*

*Daveth raises an eyebrow*
D: How much for a drink?

*Dria goes out to the main room and sits (Because I missed Vanden's edit so sorry)*


*Iris goes for a walk*


*Gharn watches Gaunter and Daveth, still incredulous at the idea of being able to sell everything*

*Jake says "hi" and "bye" to Blue (Cause Zk forgot she was in there).*
*Keeps making a couple of sandwiches.*

---

*Gaunter sighs.*
Gaunter: Well Gharn, I just so happened to be a being with some measure of power... like maybe enough power for someone to see their family again...
*He shrugs.*
Gaunter: On the house for you!
*Pours a glass of vodka for Daveth.*

*Daveth smiles*
D: I can't say no to that. Thank you, O'Dimm.
*raises the glass for a toast and starts drinking*

*Gharn takes a step back and pales visibly*
Gharn: W-what?...

*Joalia drinks, and avoids eye contact with Santiago while doing so*
*Finishes drinking, then looks away*

*Leo is destroying punching bags*

*She slowly calms down*

*Follows Leo's scent(which is a lot better known now)*
*Scent trails to the gym*
*Trails the scent*
