...Well, just for safety, you know? You are a soldier. I am not. I wouldn't want to make an enemy out of anyone here, especially someone like you.

*Rita backpaves, and empties a clip into one of the demons faces.*
*Then switches to her charge rifle, and starts charging it.*

---

*Jake keeps dressing Cal's wounds anyways.*
Jake: I will don't worry... need a fething flashlight though..
*He sighs and rises to his feet.*
Jake: Stay here.
*Goes through some medical cabinets until finding a emergency kit, and then grabs the flashlight.*
*Starts looking for around for the Giant bird.*

*I turn to Thaddeus*
I'm fine. Really

*Horus chuckles again*
Horus: That's true I suppose. Regardless, pleased to finally meet you properly


*Gharn limbos back, falls, catches himself then lashes out a ferocious double kick towards the Demons gut, claws out and ready to strike Ctoo*


*Cal nods*
Cal: Jake, supply cabinet near room 2C, there's a switch for emergency power. Not a lot of light, but better than this...

*Thaddeus looks slightly embarrassed from getting so worried and intense *
Thaddeus: That's good.
*He remains composed but his relief shines through his expressive eyes*
Thaddeus: I'll be making dinner once we return.

I'm pleased to meet you as well. By any chance, do you know anything about the basement? I noticed a door and some rusty stairs. I kind of want to poke around in there.

Really? And what shall we be dining on this evening?

*Notices more heartbeats somewhere along the junction, and travels down it*
*Looks through the vents through a grate, and sees a group of people who weren't quick enough to evac trying to barricade the room*
*Waits a little*

~

*D1 takes a bunch of bullets to the face, growls, and spits out a few*
*Takes the kick like a champ, then looks down at Gharn slowly*
*Raises the mace to swing down at Gharn*

Thaddeua: Something soothing. Homemade soup with freshly baked bread.
*Thaddeus streches and stands tall at 6'4*
Thaddeus: Unless you have a specific request.
*He looks at her curiously*

*Gharn rolls to the side, grabs up his sword and jabs again at the Demon's gut*


*Iris and Horus both look over at the door*
Iris: I've never been down there...
Horus: Neither have I. I'd be down to check it out if you want though. Just in case there's something nasty and you need a protector


*Cal eases himself up against a wall and winces then looks at Thaddeus and Arya (Who I think are still in the general vicinity)*
Cal: Would you two stop flirting and go stop the deadly monster running around a hospital?

*Rita fires the charge Rifle at the demons head.*
*A brilliant amber beam erupts from the gun, and it then begins to cool.*

---
*Jake nods, and begins making his way through the medbay.*
Jake: Cal leave it alone..*Turns to Thaddeus and Arya.* why don't you two go make sure everyone is evacuated. I'll handle the bird monster..
*Holds the flashlight in one hand, and the magnum in the other.*
*Mumbles about how he came here to get his head checked out, and how he is a magnet for bad luck.*

*Thaddeus becomes slightly defensive in the accusation that he was making a move on Arya*
Thaddeus: You're welcome to join us. But you're right.
*Thaddeus turns toward Arya*
Thaddeus: I'll take care of this.

*Kara smiles and looks at the moon*
K: You're such a romantic.
*sits up enough to kiss Maiev*

*Harador meets the demon and strikes at its abdomen*
I am yet to meet something like you.

*I shake my head*
Soup sounds delightful right now thanks.

*Thaddeus nods*
Thaddeus: I will go make you a large bowl once I've taken care of that creature. Please go with Jake and Cal to safety. I'll be back in no time.
*Thaddeus smiles gently and looks determined and he calls out to Cal and Jake*
Thaddeus: Make sure she's safe.

*Jake frowns at Thaddeus, and grabs his shoulder.*
Jake: I assure you I can handle this... this is not my first monster to put down. Why don't you start making that soup, and I'll handle bird person.
*Looks determined to go.*

*Thaddeus flashes his genuine smile at Jake*
Thaddeus: I'm a ghoul Hunter. You're injured.. how will you manage?
*Thaddeus looks slightly worried*

*Tilts head slightly then drops down into the room of unarmed civilians and doctors*
*Slaughters them*
*The door is still barricaded quite well, kinda funny cause they needed to get out and couldn't*

~

*D1 sees the light at the last moment, tilts head very slightly, then proceeds to get half its face removed at once by the beam*
*Roars in pain from both that, the sword wound in its gut, and its dignity being damaged*
*Stomps down on Gharn, and tries removing itself from the sword in its gut*

~

*D2 kicks Harador, sending him back a few metres, but not doing much damage cause its a really gak ability they have*
*Roars, then leaps at him mace first*

~

*Maiev giggles, then watches the moon*
*Waits until they're properly in the light, then reaches into her pocket and pulls out the ring she was looking for a very long time many many pages ago*
M: I found it, and thought we'd make it official.
*Ring is perrrrty*
*All seriousness, it's a elegant wedding band with a bunch of elvish runes on it*

*Looks up at Horus*
Thank you. I'm armed, but... I rely mostly on implant link to fire. Implant link that isn't functioning at the moment. Shall we go?

*Jake frowns.*
Jake: One I'm a gunslinger, this gak is what we do... two I'm also the guy with the flashlight.
*Returns the smile.*
Jake: Don't fret... this is just a flesh wound..

----

*Rita growls, and starts charging up her laser.*
Rita: Die damn you!
*She looks over at Harador seeing how he is doing.*

*Gharn grunts in pain then twists the blade cruelly*
Gharn: Rita! Head go boom please!
*Sees the demons head is already damaged and curses*
Gharn: More boom! More boom!


*Cal is too weak to do much more than glare and grumble*
Cal: Jake wait! Take my-
*Pulls out his phone only to see it shattered and curses again*
Cal: Blasted cheap Peartech...


*Horus nods*
Horus: Alright. Iris?
*Iris nods, glad for a excuse to avoid having to make Horus eat her awful cooking*
Iris: I'm game! Let's go! Lead the way!
*Horus nods and goes to the door, he opens it and leads the way into the dark*
*Iris walks next to Miritas*

*Thaddeus nods and chuckles*
Thaddeus: I'll leave it to you then.
*Thaddeus nods to Jake and wishes him good luck. He the focuses his gaze on Arya*
Thaddeus: I guess we'll be having that soup sooner than I thought. But fist let me help Cal.
*Thaddeus walks over to Cal*
Thaddeus: May I?
*Thaddeus offers to carry him*

*Cal sighs*
Cal: Fine... let's get out of here and get some help. Jake is good, but backup is better

*Sits on a mound of bodies, and starts eating whatever stray limbs are around*

~

*D1 roars again, then leans down and starts trying to remove Gharn's arm from his body*

*Thaddeus chuckles and easily picks up Cal while carrying him bridal style*
Thaddeus: To the room it is. Let's go, Arya.
*Thaddeus begins making his way back*

*Rita growls.*
Rita: I'm trying Gharn! Cut the fething chatter!
*Charged rifle finally fires again, aiming for the demons neck this time.*

---

*Jake limps along looking.*
*He finally stops after seeing a pool of blood coming out from under one of the doors.*
*Jake then listens to the other side, and can clearly hear chomping sounds.*
*He then tries to shoulder bash the door, to no effect sense it barricaded.*

*Kara gasps and kisses Maiev*
K: It's... it's beautiful, Kadan.
*wraps her arms around the back of Maiev's neck and kisses her again*

*Harador ducks under the mace and swings upwards at the demon's arm*
Tell me. Do you feed off of emotion? Or is it something more trivial.

*I traik after Thaddeus*
I hate that I have so few offensive spells, mostly what I do is heal and support

*Gharn roars in pain, rears up and sinks his teeth into the Demons arm with huge bite strength*


*Cal winces in pain*

*Thaddeus looks back at Arya*
Thaddeus: Nonsense! You're skills are honorable and much more useful than the skills to harm... healing brings life... it's important. Never think less of your skills.
*He looks determined and he smiles at her. There seems to be a deeper meaning to the words he was saying*
*He looks at Cal*
Thaddeus: Who would you like me to fetch for back up?
