*Jake walks into the kitchen, looking happy.*
Jake: Hey Iris!
*He walks over to the fridge, and starts grabbing stuff. Finally notices Iris shaking.*
Jake: You okay?

*Iris nods*
Iris: I'll be fine... Just had a bit of a encounter is all... Flagg and his GF. No one was hurt or anything, but it's still... scary
*She looks seriously at Jake but decides to hold back on the onfo about Rachel being their daughter*


OOC: Be back in a hour or so

*Kara sighs again at Gharn and smiles weakly*
K: Glad to hear it. Do anything interesting lately?

*Santiago doesn't holster his pistol as he enters the kitchen, but sets Joalia down*
S: That'll have to be taken care of later.

*Maggie sits curled up in a ball with her wings in cape mode*

Maggie: I am useless... My weakness keeps... Screwing everything up...

*She curses under her breath*

*Leo looks out her window and sees the zombies*

Leo: Feth... We are stuck her fro the moment Amy...

*Gharn shrugs*
Gharn: A few things perhaps. But nothing of real noteworthiness
*Sits up and stretches, a little sweaty from his workout*
Gharn: How about you?

*Keeps exercising*

~

*The Zinogre eventually gets to the room, and bashes into the door*
*Bleeding a lot more, cause the elves hurt her*

~

*Joalia starts making coffee with her tail*
*Just makes a black for Santiago*

*Morri wakes up at the bashing and yawns then looks over at the door*
*She leaves Cal sleeping on the sofa and goes to open the door*
Morri: Hello? Who's there?
*Opens the door*

OOC:
Word of advice: Don't become a college student. The workload is awful

*The Zinogre looks up at Morri from a pool of blood, and tries standing*
*Is about 2 metres tall, and like 3 long, cause she still has her tail*
Z: They... Are... Coming...
*Is crying blood, instead of tears, though that's mostly because of horrendous injuries*
*Claws are fethed up, as are her legs, chest, and one of her horns are chipped off at the tip*
*Her tail seems to be the only not hurt (but still really bloody) part of her*

*Kara shrugs*
K: Maiev left... for some time. I'm not sure how long she'll be gone.

*Santiago smiles at Joalia*
S: Smells good, Joal.

*Morri gasps and calls over her shoulder*
Morri: CAL! HELP NOW!
*Cal jerks awake blearily and looks around. Morri yells again and he comes running, blinking sleep from his eyes*
Cal: Whosis?
Morri: I don't know! Help her!
*Cal is way ahead of Morrigan as he opens up his medical satchel and sets to work, binding wounds and setting any broken bones*
*Morri kneels down on Z's other side and helps Cal as she can*
Morri: Who did this to you? Who is coming?


*Gharn nods*
Gharn: May I ask where she went?

*Kara shakes her head*
K: I don't know where she is, exactly. In the forest, somewhere. I should be out there with her.
*sighs*
K: Sorry, I shouldn't burden you with this.

*Looks up at Morri*
P-Purple humans, with long ears...
*Cries out, more of a roar, actually, and electricity sparks fly off her fur/scales*

~

*Joalia smiles weakly, and serves up Santiago's coffee to him*
J: ...
Tail: I love you.

*Jake looks a little angry at Iris.*
Jake: Why didn't you get Denny and I... we would have dealt with him...
*Sighs with mild frustration, and keeps loading up on snacks.*
Jake: Is everyone okay?
*Hears the commotion.*
Jake: What now...

---
*Flagg shakes his, and wraps his arms around Maggie.*
Flagg: No more charging in... okay?
*He sighs.*
Flagg: You are not weak... understand?

*Cal jumps back sucking on burnt fingers*
Cal: OW! Careful creature! I'm trying to help!
*Sounds a little crabby*

*Morri jerks back too but then kneels down again*
Morri: Purple humans... Cal, could that be Maiev?
*Cal shakes his head*
Cal: Unless she can clone herself
*He kneels down and gently sets back to work*
Morri: Do you have a name?


*Iris shakes her head*
Iris: No time. If someone had run off I'm sure they would've stopped us. Besides, there was someone I needed to stick around for. And no, no-one was hurt. They left on their own


*Gharn shrugs*
Gharn: It's fine. I don't mind. But if she's in the forest, why not just go look for her?

T-Tala... My Mother gifted me the name Tala...
*Cries out again, and more sparks fly out*
Th-Their w-weapons hurt...

*Maggie laughs*

Maggie: Not weak!? Did you not just see what happened!.. I was captured like some puny insect... And used as a hostage...

*She looks at herself*

Maggie: Look at me... I'm a frail weak shadow of my former self... Before I was feared and powerful! Now... Now I am just a hindrance.

*She slumps up against a tree*

*Kara sighs*
K: Whatever she's doing, she made it clear that me coming along would put her in danger. I trust her enough to handle herself. She is a better fighter than me, after all.

*Santiago takes the coffee and kisses Joalia*
S: I love you, Joal.

*Morri nods and speaks in a softer comforting voice*
Morri: Okay Tala, my name is Morrigan, this is my husband Caladrius, we're going to get you healed and safe okay?
*Cal jerks his hands back at the sparks again before setting to work once more, swabbing, stitching and bandaging*


*Gharn growls assent*
Gharn: That's true... She's more ruthless

Th-they changed me... I was majestic, proud, large and...
*Pokes her breasts*
Practical... Now... I am... Weak, small, and... odd...
*Jerks back as Cal starts stitching, and holds her arm*
What are you doing?!

~

*Joalia smiles at the kiss, then glances out to the zombies*
Tail: Are we safe?

~

*Amy nods, and holds Leo*
Wee're saife togetherr...

~

*Maiev walks along with the heads of the two elves*
*Looking for something specific*

*Jake shakes his head.*
Jake: Do you know how many he has killed? What he has done! I would have ended him... You were foolish not to get us.
*He starts walking back to Denny's room, not wanting to let his temper out of control.*

---
*Flagg sighs.*
Flagg: Maybe I can find a way to have you... revert back... at your own free will.
*Flagg kisses the top of her head.*
Flagg: I know you are hurting... but everything will be fine... I shall make this right.

*Iris sighs and shakes her head*
Iris: I had someone there who needed me... I couldn't leave her...
*Looks down at her teacup sadly*


*Morri casts a nervous look at the zombonies then back down at Tala*
Morri: You're okay. He's stitching your wounds, it'll help you heal quicker.
*She frowns*
Morri: Changed you? Who? The purple people? What did they change?

*Kara nods*
K: She has a lot more experience than I do too. The main advantage I have is my strength, but that doesn't mean much.
*shrugs*
K: I'm sure it'll be fine. She knows what she's doing.

*Santiago nods at his magnum*
S: You're safe with me. If they come close, they won't be standing. They can't be worse than the Flood.

*Gharn nods*
Gharn: I'm sure she'll overcome whatever is she comes accross
*He walks over to a treadmill, transforms and starts running on all fours*

Don't... Stick things in me... I might get... Angry...
*Snarls for a split second, then winces*
I... Drank from a lake... It was different... They came, and questioned my existence...
*Pulls at the bandages cause she don't trust them*

~

*Joalia nods, and smiles*
Tail: Thank you.

*Maggie sighs*

Maggie: I'm sorry... I'll work on my... Urges...

*Maggie looks back at the room*

Maggie: What now...

*Leo nods to Amy*

Leo: Yes safe... Gah why are there fething zombies...

*Cal nods*
Cal: Your funeral.. stop that! Those are there to protect the wounds!
*He shakes his head in annoyance*

*Morri gently tries to stop her*
Morri: Hey, easy, he's just helping you. How was the lake different?

*Jake shakes his head, to Iris.*
Jake: Not going to argue Iris.. just.. get me next time.
*He quickly walks to Denny's room, and enters.*
*Sets the food down, and lays next to her.*

---
*Flagg smiles.*
Flagg: Well... we work on a plan for Rachel.. and I'll work on a way to make you shift form at will.
*He keeps hugging her.*
Flagg: Just relax right now... okay?

*Kara nods and watches Gharn for a moment*
K: Thank you, Gharn. It wasn't much, but it was good to talk to someone.

*Santiago puts an arm around Joalia and kisses her cheek*
S: Don't worry about them. I'm not the only one with a gun around here, either.
*smirks, kisses Joalia again, and takes a drink from his coffee*
*despite his casualness, Santiago is keeping an eye on the zombies for any sign of aggression*

*Maggie nods*

Maggie: Alright. Lover.

*Maggie lightens up slightly*
