*Curt raises an eyebrow at the man*

Curt: You must be joking. She's in a wheelchair! Also a duel?

*Man points his sword at Curt*
Man: You will have your turn as well. But first, the mutant must fight for the honor of Maid Bilberry!

*Santiago raises an eyebrow*
S: Put the sword away. No one needs to get hurt.

*Man rounds on Santiago*
Man: I will not rest until Maid Bilberry is given the honor she deserves. I have already bested one of your fighters, ninety nine more must fall!

*Curt tries to hold a straight face*

Curt: Your Maid Bilberry can't be very honourable if she wants you to fight someone who's in a wheelchair. Look, pal just put the sword away.

*Puts a hand on his M9*

*Gandrea moves a bit closer to Elise, then sits on the ground half-way between Elise and David*

~

*Elise face-palms*
E: She doesn't want to choose... Guess she likes you.
*She sits next to Gandrea, and sighs*
E: So why did you do that to my face? I take it you have a demon in your body? Detheroc, I think his name was.

~

*Joal frowns, and backs up a little in her wheelchair*
*She looks confused*

~

*Denny finishes a shower she probably started a week ago, and comes out in her robe*
D: Hey. How'd the chat go?
*She steals a ciggie off Jake*

*Milo just shakes his head*
Why does the Emperor hate us Marla? Time and time again we suffer horrible casualties and what do we have to show for it? Half the Room either ignores us or hates us, and we barely get thanks for what we do. Now we've suffered near total casualties, and what do we have to show for it? We're down to me and a tank crew that has yet to arrive. What is the point of all this? We've all served the Emperor loyally and we have nothing to show for our faith. Nothing.

*Marla sighs*
Because there idiots and don,t relise what they owe you. I realised... So does Marlin and Maria. *weak but tries*

Us.. I saved half the lives here at one time or another it seems, our med bay been massacred twice... We still get blanked by some people...

Because for all the idiots it still our home.

*Milo just hangs his head*
At least the Elders gave us some respect for what we've done. Most of the rest of them are not worthy of the sacrifices that we've made. Commissar Yarrick would be disgusted by how far we have fallen.

*David walk up to Gandrea an Elise.*
David: I guess she does..
*Smiles at Gandrea for a moment, then turns to Elise.*
David: Yes... some demon lurks in my body, he was the one talking to you in that strange tongue. I'm sorry for what happened to your face, it looks better now though.

Jake: Hey.
*He shrugs.*
Jake: He really is who he says he is... I.. want to trust him, but I still have a nagging feeling that tells me not to.
*Swoops back his cigarette, and takes a long drag before giving it back to Denny.*
Jake: How was the shower?

*Marla*
You not fallen... You just did a very hard job. Again. And again.
PDF earned alot.
Give, they still respect you. Morri ran in when thr attack happened.

*sighs*
Come on... You need rest.
We can work out what do about thr future later...

...

*Jarl looks over watchbg thr man challenge*
Hey human. Leave her alone.
Least fight a person who can stand and face you fairly.

*Milo slowly stands up and walks toward the Repressor*
*utterly silent as he does so*

*Marla follows and looks after him like a good wife*
Maria can handle the med bay... You need my help right now.
*tries to help however not mean much and be generaly kind*

*Messages Maria who agrees and takes over medbay while Milo needs help. *
(that's alot of M names lol)

*Man gets royally pissed at Curt's comment*
Man: You dare insult Maid Bilberry?! Draw your blade, I will not tolerate your sheer ignorance.
*moves towards Curt and

*Santiago moves to be in front of Joalia*
S: Last warning.

*Man is too pissed to care about what Santiago and Jarl say*

*Gandrea looks between Elise and David, then starts drawing runes in the ground, which forces Elise to look away from them*
E: Thanks... I guess. I had to kill myself for it to fix itself.
*Gandrea's finger tears a several inche trench into the ground as she stares at Elise*
E: ...Spoiler alert?..

~

*Denny shrugs*
D: Shower-y. So you got a gut feeling? Trust it. It's always served you in the past.
*She sits down beside Jake, and takes a long drag, before ashing on the floor, and brushing it under the bed with her foot*
*She offers it to Jake cause she's nice*

~

*Joal peers at the man from behind Santiago*
*She notices Curt with a gun, and recoils slightly*

Santiago puts a hand on Joalia's shoulder*
S: It's alright, Joal.
*sighs when the man doesn't stop, and in a blur of movement Santiago has him in a chokehold. The man is dangling off the ground, and drops the sword before pulling (ineffectively) at Santiago's arm*

*Daveth wakes up with a groan, and shakes his head, which he immediately regrets*
*frowns cause he doesn't remember undressing, not that he remembers much of anything before he passed out*
D: Elise?
*looks around before going to shower*

*jarl shrugs *

I suggest you back down... This man will kill you otherwise.

This lady sounds like she is not worth one life or your own.

*draws a sword sized combat blade *
Face me if you want to face anyone in combat.

*David is confused by what Elise says, but still feels terrible about it.*
David: I'm sorry.. that you were forced to do that..
*He scratches the back of neck, then looks down at Gandrea.*
David: Is she alright?

---
*Jake nods, and leans on Denny.*
Jake: You're probably right.
*Takes the offered cigarette, and takes a long drag.*
Jake: I... may let him out of the cage, but he won't be armed.. and I'll think more on his request.

*Santiago doesn't relent until the man goes limp, and then he throws him over his shoulder*
S: Maybe a therapist can help him. For now, the medbay will work.
*stoops down and grabs the man's sword*
S: I'll drop him off, then we can go to the shooting range.
*smiles at Joalia and goes to dump the man off at the medbay. He holds onto his sword, requisitioning it for the UNSC cause he doesn't think that the man should be getting it back until things are settled.*

*Elise laughs awkwardly as Gandrea stares at her*
E: I think she's just surprised that I killed myself...
*Gandrea's jaw is ajar*

~

*Joal smiles at Santiago, then wheels herself after him*

~

*Denny tilts her head*
D: You sure? There's plenty of places he could get a gun, and plenty more people stupid enough to give him one.

*Maria looks at sabtingo in armour from earlier*
What happened to this one?

What kinda trouble, aliens.. Wars... General dumb decisions?

...

*jarl heads back after shrugging *

That was rather mercyful...
*both space wolves are stood in kicchen in carpace tearing into some enormous steaks n found some ale to relax after personal sparring*

*David also looks visibly shocked, and awkwardly coughs.*
David: Yes... that is a... extreme.
*He scratches his head in confusion, then goes over to help Merg... cause zk forgot that.*
David: Lets get you to the med bay.
*Takes Merg to the medbay and makes sure she is healed by doctors.*

---
*Jake shrugs,*
Jake: You are right.. but I have to find ways to trust him, if he goes out of line we end him.
*He sighs, and leans back on the bed.*

*Elise tries explaining herself to Gandrea, who maintains her normal silent judging demeanor*

~

*Denny sighs, and lies back with Jake*
D: Cause ending him totally went well last time.

*Mergoux stirs weakly as she's picked up*
Mergoux: Uhnn... What happened?


*Cal sees Santiago carrying the man*
Cal: Oh wonderful, did this moron try to challenge you too?

*David looks down at Merg.*
David: You got involved dummy.
*He sighs, and smiles weakly at her.*
David: Lets go get you healed.
*Keeps heading towards the medbay.*

---
*Jake sighs, and pulls himself close to Denny.*
Jake: Well... you do have a point.
*He sighs again, and holds Denny.*
Jake: Lets not worry about it for now.

*Merg nods*
Mergoux: 'Course I did... you're my friend... Couldn't let that thing kill you, not without at least trying to stop it

*Denny sighs, and moves herself closer to Jake, for hugs*
D: If you say so. Just think it over.
*She kisses his eyebrow cause she's taller than him, then starts dozing off*

*David sighs.*
David: Merg. I'm a fething monster... it makes sense for me to be treated this way.
*Finds a empty bed for her, and lays her down then calls over some doctors.*
David: I'm a danger... the thing inside me is evil... honestly think it called down those rock monsters while it was attacking my head.
*He sighs.*

---
*Jake nods, and rests his head on Denny's chest.*
Jake: I'll think over it for the next couple days... figure out what is best.
*He slowly drifts to sleep as well.*

*marinalia jogs back in from route and looks round*
Hey.. Afternoon folks.


...

*maria*
Challenge you... He,s lucky to be this intact...
I was expecting the odd broken bone.

...

*marla be good wifey*

...

*jarl and space wolf relaxed in kitchen discussing who won the sparring round in carapace armour*

*Mergoux allows docs to treat her*
Mergoux: You're not a monster, you're just... changed.
*She sighs as bandages need to be changed*
Mergoux: You're not a danger, that demon is. We just..
need to find a way to get rid of him...
*Docs change some bandages, forcing Merg to take off her shirt*
*Underneath she's still wearing undies and stuff but her tats are once more visible*
*Around each wrist is tattooed a manacle with ornate nordic style patterns leading up to 8 coins arranged in a circle on her left shoulder and a flower with 8 petals on her right*
*At her throat are two rings interlocked and below them on her collarbone is elvish writing similar to Lord of the Rings along with the pommel of a sword leading down into her cleavage*
*All these things are surrounded by swirling patterned Nordic style tats also*

*Elise and Gandrea talk(one-sided talk) for a while, then they both just stay on the ground for Gandrea to draw more runes, which is kinda making Elise uncomfortable*
*She deals with it, and stays with her new bestie*

~

*Denny is chill with Jake sleeping with his head on her chest, and dozes off after a while of thinking over some things*

*Marla texts morri to say Milo was found safe but that its been rather hard on him so she not seach endlessly*

*tells her to forget about her sword for now as kinda busy and drop it off to one of m's of she wants*

...

*marinalia shrugs as main room quiet and passes wolves greeting them and grabbing a bottle of wine and finding some bad films on the tv*

*wolves nod and both still wondering about the crazy dueling guy seeming to think he could fight a Spartan*

...

*Maria looks concerned as merg back in again and leaves it to docs as knows she more shy from previous experience*
*sat near main entrance reading a book*
