*Sighs, then pulls Jake closer*
Nice saying.
*Wants to change the subject*
*Props herself up a bit to look over the lake*
This brings back some memories, huh?

~

*Maiev raises her eyebrows at Rachel*
M: feth off.
*Shrugs at Kara*
M: Not really in the talking mood.

~

*Joalia can't do gak*

*Rachel frowns.*
Rachel: Feth off? You mean leave?
*She looks downcast.*
Rachel: O-okay.. I'm sorry.
*Rachel gets up, and quickly walks to the kichen.*

----

*Jake smiles weakly and nods.*
Jake: Yes it does.. reminds of the time I first say you.. bare.
*He looks from Denny to the lake, and leans on her slightly.*
Jake: Christ... I was very awkward.

*Iris yawns and gets herself a cuppa then looks over at Rachel*
Iris: Hello!
*She frowns slightly*
Iris: Rachel? Is something the matter?

*Kara nods*
K: Alright.
*leans against Maiev and sighs*
K: Want to do something today?

*Santiago sets a plate of scrambled eggs down in front of Joalia and starts feeding her*

*Marla notices iris and hands her a coffee*

Morning. Again.

*yarl nods to her and drinks a ale*
Hello.. Caffine.. Nothing like ale in thr morning..evening or..
Ale...

*shrugs as there's never a bad time for ale*

...

*Maria sighs slightly as she runs off*
*lets iris handle it and heads to gym for a quick workout*

I thought you said you never saw anything?
*Shrugs, and leans back*
You were very awkward back then. Have I changed much?

~

*Maiev 'hrmphs' at Rachel as she leaves*
M: No, I mean as in feth you too, rude newbie.
*Shrugs at Kara*
M: If you like.

~

*Joalia is low-key ashamed at having to be fed*

*Rachel looks guiltily at Maiev.*
Rachel: I'm sorry!
*Figures Newbie is some derogatory insult, and quickly walks into the kitchen. Looks at Iris nervously.*
Rachel: I angered someone... I didn't mean too!
*She stands there awkwardly.*
Rachel: I'm sorry..

---
*Jake smiles.*
Jake: I said I didn't see "much."
*He shakes his head, and squeezes her hand.*
Jake: You haven't changed, still the warrior woman I love.. have I changed.. besides being awkward?

*Iris smiles*
Iris: Oh Rachel, it's okay! I'm sure it was just a accident. Do you know what you did to upset them?
*Moves over and hugs Rachel lightly and briefly to try and comfort her*


*Gharn yawns and stretches and looks around blearily*
*Seeing Maiev he pales slightly and quickly slinks off to the kitchen*


*Morgan and Dria come out into the main room talking and sit down on a couch*
*Morgan pulls out a deck of cards and starts playing solitaire while chatting about work and other things including the quality of For Valor*

*Maria carries on her quick workout*

...

*marla*
Hey.. *waves to gharn* morning.

*yarl shrugs*
Getting busy in here..
*drinks from ale*

Hello lion man.. Of the many wounds.
*calm as in armour and a space marine so like confident*

*Gharn glares at Yarl*
Gharn: My scars show victory. Can you say the same?
*He nods to Marla, Iris and Rachel then grabs himself some meat*

No, not really. I guess you're more confident, and a bit sexier. As of late... You have been... Very different, but I know the reason behind that.
*Shrugs, and hugs Jake*
We should swim. Something you shoulda done when you first saw me in the water. I wouldn't have minded.

*yarl just calmly drinks ale*

I have scars. My saga is my victories.
Scars show where you need to learn.

Like wearing armour... Ours is impervious to all but the heaviest guns and powered blades... Our blood clots instantly, our bones are unbreakable..

We are space marines ...

*marla*
Never under sell selves!

*yarl laughs*
No Marla! We are the elite for a reason.

*Rachel looks at Iris in fear, not understanding what she is doing, and if she is in danger or not.*
Rachel: Please no!
*Rachel eyes alight purple, and a minor shockwave of energy explodes from her. (Probably sending Iris flying, and some minor stuff.)
*She looks around in horror at what she just did.*

---
*Jake nods to Denny, and tries to hid his pained expression.*
Jake: I know... recently a... cloud has been following me. I just..
*Sighs and nods again, dropping the subject.*
Jake: Yes.. I should have. Well, we can make up for it now.
*He removes his jacket and guns, then offers a hand to Denny.*
Jake: Lets go swimming.

*Iris gets knocked back and slams into a wall, not really hurt, but more stunned*
*Gharn is immediately on the offensive, transforms and puts himself between Rachel and Iris*
Gharn: What did you do!?

*yarl eyes glow ice blue*

What's going on...
Control your powers lady... Calm... Control... Breath slowly...


*marla*
Helps iris up*
You alright? Nothing broken?
Vision not blurred?

*Kara nuzzles Maiev and kisses her forehead again*
K: We can go for a walk, spar, anything.
*frowns at the shockwave*
K: What was that?

*Santiago kisses the top of Joalia's head after she finishes eating*
*stands up at the commotion*
S: Everyone calm down.

*Takes Jake's hand, and pulls herself up*
*Stands a bit weirdly, but does so, and manages to pull off her top, and stretches in her bra*
*Pushes Jake into the water*

~

*Maiev jumps at the explosion, then shrugs at Kara*
M: Let's go see... Last one there eats the other one out!
*Blinks to the kitchen*
M: I win!
*Looks in*
M: Spicy meme?

~

*Joalia jumps, then puts her tail on Santiago's shoulder*
*Looks at everyone in confusion*
*Starts scratching the table to get people's attention*
Tail: Why did you do a Ciri explosion?

*Rachel shrivels to the ground, and covers herself with her wings.*
Rachel: P-please don't hurt me!
*Purple energy crackles around her as she gets more and more distressed.*
*Her wing "Blades" quiver, making it almost sound like swords clattering.*

---
*Jake falls in, and comes up smiling (weakly).*
Jake: Well it feels nice,
*He motions for her to jump in.*
Jake: C'mon in, let's go for a swim.
*Starts swimming.*

*Iris stands and shakes her head*
Iris: N-no, I'm okay. Gharn, knock it off.
*Gharn looks between Iris and Rachel*
Gharn: But she hu-
Iris: It was a accident. Stand down!
*Gharn does stand back, but stay in lion form*
*Iris cautiously steps forwards*
Iris: Rachel, I'm sorry I touched, okay? It's all okay, you'll be fine. No-one here is going to hurt you, I'll not let them.
*She speaks in a soft comforting voice*

*Stretches again, then hops in with a wince*
*Floats on her back, and stares at the sky while slowly and lazily paddling towards Jake*
I haven't swam in like... Years...

~

*Maiev frowns, then squats down in front of Rachel*
M: Furball won't hurt you. Did you make the explosion?
*Gandrea is watching Tokyo Ghoul from Maiev's memories*
(Tabete! Baka! Onii-chan!)
M: (You're so embarrassing.)

*yarl*

Calm yourself cat lord... Few will only make things worse...
Before I make you young one...

If anything like my universe.. Powers are more unstable under extreme emotion... We do not want unstable...

Calm young lady...
Calm...

...

*marla*
She be ok.. Iris not look hurt badly. Just a few bruises maybe.

*Rachel doesn't seem very convinced, as she stares at Gharn.*
*Her fearful eyes then jump from Maiev to Iris, then back to Maiev.*
Rachel: I d-didn't mean too! I'm sorry! Please don't hurt me!
*She starts to cry for the second time in her life.*
*Purple energy still crackles around her.*

---
*Jake swims up to Denny, and wraps his arms around her.*
Jake: Yeah... It's been a long time sense I swam too.
*He floats with her in his arms.*
Jake: Glad to see you walking.. and swimming.

*Iris snaps at Gharn*
Iris: Gharn! Out!
*Gharn goes reluctantly as Iris turns back to Rachel and kneels next to her*
Iris: Rachel, listen to me. I will NOT allow anyone to hurt you. You're a innocent, and it seems you just have powers you can't control yet. What happened wasn't your fault

*yarl*

Lets give her some space. Calm is required...
*heads out with Marla to main room*

*Marla agrees and joins tarl in main room*
Maybe better give the kitchen a few minutes to calm down...
Everything ok.. Just not need more people ...

*yarl studies gharn a second just incase he goes angry*

*Kara quickly follows after Maiev*
K: What's going on here?

*Santiago stands in front of Joalia*
*doesn't say anything because Maiev has it covered for now*

I recover fast, so eh. And swimming doesn't take that much to do.
*Puts a hand on Jake's and closes her eye*
Let's... Stay like this for a while...

~

*Maiev tilts her head*
M: We won't hurt you. Considering you answered one of the first questions to you with the word 'fething', you're pretty innocent.
*Tilts her head at Rachel more*
*Ganny is slightly more alert cause the energy might make Rach dangerous on da flo-hoooor*
*Tilts head slightly at Iris getting closer to Rachel, and almost bunny-hops backwards*

~

*Joal pouts at being not noticed*

*Rachel's wing blades still quiver, but the energy dissipates.*
Rachel: I... didn't mean to.. I'm sorry. Please understand it was a mistake.
*She thinks on the word "innocent" only remembering her father teach her that there is no such thing as innocence, only weakness.*
Rachel: I-I'm not innocent.. I'm not weak..
*Begins to cry more when she thinks of her beloved father.*

---

Jake: Sounds good.
*He kisses the top of Denny's head, and stares up into the blue sky.*
*Just drifts around the lake.*

*Iris wants to comfort Rachel but doesn't dare touch her again*
Iris: I know Rachel, I know. It's not your fault. I understand
*She frowns slightly then goes back to smiling kindly*
Iris: Judging by what you just did, I'd say you're anything but weak.

*Floats around aimlessly*

~

*Maiev tilts her head*
M: Innocence is a lack of experience, not weakness. Oh well, you need anything, just holler.
*Shrugs, and stands up*
*Gandrea winces inside Maiev, and Maiev feels it to*
(Did you?-
M: (Yes.)

*yarl*

Relax Gharn.. Time yet to prove your valor young cub.

*heads off to hall and locks the doors behind *

...

*Marla goes to bed bidding everyone goodnight, and falls asleep cuddling milo*

*Maria goes to bed after a work out*

...

Ooc night.
