*Harador sighs softly*
Neither one is dying. Psychologically and emotionally, those are different matters.
*notices Gharn's brand mark*
So, the beast got to us all, then. No surprise there, it seemed quite domineering.

*Daveth stands up and pushes his empty mug away*
D: No point in drinking alone. This should be a time of celebration.
*heads back to his party as well*

*Kara falls back asleep while holding onto Maiev's horns*

*Dria looks at Elise then sighs and nods*
Dria: I think... education is really what I came here for... thank you.
*She smiles shyly*


*Gharn frowns*
Gharn: Where are they? I need to- agh!
*Tries to get up, fails and falls back*
Gharn: What.. what beast?

*Smiles again, then gently pushes Dria onto the bed*
*Starts teaching her how to sex, in a very hands on sort of way*

~

*Izriel eventually pulls away from the kiss, then looks over Rita*
My poor, poor Rita...

OOC Be back in 30 mins

*Harador sighs*
Do not force me to keep you on that bed, feline. Rita would not want you wandering around while injured. Now, they are treating their own wounds and will likely be sleeping soon enough. As for the beast, a demon arrived while you were unconscious. It made a bargain, killing the spirit Thesiel after Asoriel was slain. In return, it gave us these brands and sent us to the room.

*Gharn sighs and looks defeated*
Gharn: Thesiel is dead then? And what are these marks you speak of?


*Dria enjoys her education*

*Harador nods*
Thesiel is no more. As for the brands, I imagine they are a cruel taunt that the beast put onto each of us. Hardly unique for a demon to do that, after all.
*sighs*
But you need rest. I can enlighten you on every detail after you are in a better condition.
*nods and heads out the door before going to wherever Harador goes to*

*Rita puts a hand on Izriel's cheek.*
Rita: I'll be okay my love...
*She then kisses Izriel, and rests her forehead on Izy's.
Rita: My Angel..

*Gentle education is best education*
*Teaches Dria how to be a good politician (running their mouths)*

~

*Izriel lets Rita rest her forehead, but doesn't say "I love you", even though she wants to*

*Dria is a good student student.*


*Gharn sighs and lies back, praying Izriel and Rita are okay and wondering where he was branded*

*Rita looks up at Izriel with fear, and nods solemnly.*
Rita: I... just..
*She shakes her head trying to purge her memories of the recent deaths.
Rita: You... will be okay?
*Rt's metallic laughter fills her mind.*

*Dria finishes with Elise, thanks her for being so informative and goes to bed, happy but still not sure she made the right decision*


*Gharn passes out still thinking and has a vivid dream*

*marilania and victor teleport down after showering and such*

*both head out side room together and go to kitchen*
*mqrilania*

Hey, morning anyone... *yawns *

*victor*
Morning,
*to m*
You sort out coffee.. Il handle food.

*marilania*
Sure. But I'm the better cook! *winks and both start doing there bit of breakfast*

*Alexandria hums to herself in her metaphorical mindscape, working on patching some errors, editing bloated files, and fixing some damage to the Library*
-Something is not quite right, here...-

~

*Verdai awakens, showers, and sadly sits at the (Room) kitchen table, eating toast, and looking for company*

*marilania walks over*
One momment...gotta check on someone.

*victor*
Sure Mali. 5minutes on breakfast.

*marlania nods and hands verdai a mug of coffee in a fried egg mug with white saucer and orange mug *

Hey, coffee.. What's up?

*Looks appreciatively at Maril*
Thank you. It's been a bit rough. I had a hologram projector node explode out of nowhere. No warning, no power surge, just boom. And Taldeer got stabbed in the eye. I put her on a stretcher in my medbay. Robots and drones are taking care of it.

*marlilania*

Oh no... This place is never peaceful... And taledeer... She well so powerful...
Well given med bay staffing .. Yours probbly better. They are scarily short right now...

*smiles as victor brings her breakfast*
Oh.. Friend. Rather good one of mine. Thanks.

*victor*
Take the spare.. Kts pretty filling. I trust Mali.
*hands him a bowl of a fruit yougurt creation with various bits that's rather good*

What is the situation with the entity that killed them all? My sensors are basically worthless. I haven't seen anything.

*marilania*

Umm.. Understaffed.. Badly. They have what was not on shift and some trainees who where taking time off.
Do not know status on blue... Maria saw her a few days ago...
Forrest... Not hered much after that off her.

That was a day or two ago.
I was busy collecting my friend from the space port...
Sorry.

*Makes an irritated noise*
It got loose? I'm beginning to think it has sympathizers... did she shoot it on sight?

*marlania*

Situation... She could not without being killed or badly wounded blue has a protector...

Tactical situation did not make it a good idea.
She only told me so much.. If you wanna full story ask Maria.
I know not who it was protecting blue...


*victor busies self in kitchen clearing up and investigates the infinite fridge*

*Thaddeus tilts his head slightly with interest in the amount of emotions Arya was showing in regards of his safety. He was used to his friends understanding the uncertainty of his outcome.*
Thaddeus: I see....
*He looks calm and he leads Arya back the mainroom*
//"Trust me.."//

*Hopes that Dria made the right choice, and walks around the lounge*

~

*Izriel looks at her hands, then back down at Rita*
I... Will be okay... Eventually...

*Thaddeus walks into the main room and makes his way toward the kitchen*
Thaddues: I'll make some Lasagne..
*He begins to cook*

*Looks at Roland's gun on the table, and tries picking it up*
*Gets burnt immediately on touch, and winces*
You should put a sign up...
*Gets up and starts walking to the kitchen to get water for the burn*

*Thaddeus begins to make some garlic bread as well*

*Pokes Thaddeus in the spine silently, and starts running hand under the cold water*

~

*Blue wakes up again, and starts hitting the bars again in an attempt to free herself*

*Thaddeus turns toward Elise and looks at her hand*
Thaddeus: Hello. What happened to your hand?
*He stops what hes doing to check out her hand*
Thaddeus: Who did this?

No-one. I touched something I wasn't meant to, and it burnt me.
*Doesn't noticeably react to the water, and the burn still burns*
So, you still set on doing this thing alone?

~

*Blue's everything is bleeding from punching metal for a lot of hours*

Thaddeus: You'll need a bandage for that.
*He retrieves one from a medkit in the cabinet*
Thaddeus: I'm not sure yet. It goes against everything I stand for.
//" Mom... Dad... Sasha.. They were alone."//
*Thaddeus approaches Elise with the bandage*

Thank you.
*Sighs and sits on the counter while Thaddeus bandages up hand*
*Looks at the other people in the kitchen, then back to Thaddeus*
*Quickly kisses him to relay the message below*
(Here isn't exactly the best place to talk about this. Want to go to my room?)
