*Calluna shies away still*
*She finally speaks in a tiny voice, weak from never before haven been used*
*She speaks Ancient Egyptian without realizing*
Calluna: Want... Papa... Mama...


*Merg wanders around the base, poking her head where it probably doesn't belong as she tries to find any alternate escape routes and looks for a gym or something*

*Curt frowns even more*

Curt: Disconnected for hundreds of thousands of years? Sounds fething ridiculous...

*Curt sighs*

Curt: I'm going to go look for the man in charge...

*Santiago nods*
S: If he wants you to find him, I'm sure you won't be waiting long to talk to him.

*Voskrinod frowns at Merg*
V: Careful where you go, Mergoux. There is more than meets the eye with these people.

*Merg shrugs*
Merg: Sure. I just want somewhere to do something. I can't just sit around and do nothing, ...although I've been meaning to add to new inkings myself, so maybe I'll just do that.


*BH shrugs*
BH: That's how it is for most. Thoth's just... distant from everyone, even his own kind. He spends all his time in his lab or library, not interacting with anyone at all

Jason: Good.
*He walks out, eversors in tow.*
*George stands there.*
George: Gharn should wake up soon, try not to cause any more trouble... please.
---

*Emma gnashes her teath, and grins under her mask.*
Emma: No j-just need NEED directives..
*Caver sighs.*
Carver: Our MO is to recon the closest demonic citadel to us, from there we can figure out if they a leader and eliminate them.

---
*Jake hugs Denny, happy they are alive, and somewhat safe.*
*Helps her wash, yet makes sure to stay alert for threats.*

---
*Merg meets her steward, cause everyone has one they just don't know it till they cause trouble.*
*A Callidus assassin stops Merg from walking into somewhere she shouldn't.*
Callidus: Please do not go in there.

---
*David runs off to find a apple, and after some time (and almost having a altercation with a leshen.) He manages to find a pear.*
*Returns to Gandrea, and hands her the pear.*

*Nero nods*
N: Off we go then.

*Voskrinod nods to the Callidus*
V: Apologies.
*looks back at Merg*
V: You apply your own tattoos? Normally the Skelligans have someone else do it for them.

*Morri and Cal both glare coldly at George as they go to rest Gharn against the wall*
*Cal looks around and addresses the room in general*
Cal: I'd like some medical supplies if possible. I'd like to tend to my cousin-in-law.
*He gestures to Scatty who's still in a coma and starting to look ill, her skin waxy and paler than normal*


*Merg frowns defiantly at the assassin*
Mergoux: Why?
*She looks at Vos*
Mergoux: Some of them. I do it when I have no-one to aide me. Most of them, especially the bigger ones weren't done by me

*Curt walks around the base looking for the the man in charge*

Curt: (Where could this guy be?...)

*Voskrinod nods*
V: I could assist you, if you'd like. My talents are more than just for combat.
*glances at the assassin*
V: And if the woman doesn't want you to enter a room in her own home, then I wouldn't enter it.

*Merg frowns at Vos*
Merg: You've done this before?

*Voskrinod smirks*
V: Surprised? I spent time in Skellige, and Zerrikania doesn't forbid them either. So, could I help?

*Merg pauses, thinking for a moment then nods*
Merg: I suppose so. It'd be hard for me to do this one anyways. I've not seen any mirrors and I was going to put in on my chin.
*She nods and takes Vos to her room/area/thing and pulls a medieval style tattooing kit from her bag then quickly sketches the design she wanted and explains how she wants it done*
*The design is a thin strip of vertical runes from her chin down her throat into her collar*

*Voskrinod looks down at the design, then looks back up at Merg*
V: Mergoux, I won't be needing your tools. My own talents are from my magic. I hope that's alright with you.

*Merg is slightly cautious but nods*
Merg: Erm... Alright... go ahead

*Furia before being teleported rather angry at losing her daughter *
You find Calluna. D....

*finds self by Ra and looks round suprised*
*draws sword *

Who you. Name?

...

*Marilania smiles feeling a familiar warm presence as she wakes slightly and relaxes *
*quietly*
So you did mean it after all.

*tries to not wake Morgan but cannot help body temp rising back from a cooler level as she slept *

...

*Maria eventually heads into thr small eating area with a arm round her sister who looking more upset at things*

Hey. Id say morning but times lost any meaning.

*Marla waves but just goes over to reheat some rations and make some gakky ration coffee with minor evidence been crying*

*Morgan mumbles in his sleep in a language that Maril probably wouldn't understand*


*Ra blinks*
Ra: You? You're Thoth's baby mamma. What's going on?
*Pauses*
Ra: Right, sorry. We met before at the waterfall remember? I am Ra

*Furia looks over and recognises him though takes a second as only saw him a few times and sheaths sword*

Ra.
Yes. Calluna mother.
Monster take baby. Thoeth say find.

*struggles to get her feelings and meaning across in Barbarian english*
Thoeth... Trust then lose child.. Meant to be strong.

....

*Marilania does not speak ancient languages bar a old version of Martian, mainly high gothic, regular language and regular Martian. *

*quietly in old martian language *
Least one good thing came of all this bad and destruction.
Hope Morri n cal know he,s here...

*tries to sit up slowly and stretch abit and move hair out her face*

...

*Marla and Maria are sat in eating area quietly talking as Maria tries to look after her sister and both eat whatever ration meals they could fine available to them*

*Curt continues snooping around*

*Morgan mumbles again, this time in English*
Morgan: Mmmf... g'morning...
*Yawns and stretches but doesn't sit up*
Morgan: Wha time izzit?


*Ra frowns*
Ra: Even Thoth has his limits. He has trouble with surprises. He can't see anything coming no matter how obvious. I'm sure he'll get her back, don't worry. The Elder could blow up a planet if he set his mind to it

*Marilania forgets to switch language a second and replies in Martian for a second or two*
Breakfast.... morning, around breakfast roughly.

There's a shower if you need one, or we could grab some rations from the eating area.

...

*Furia thinks on her wording but still angry st loss of her daughter *
Powerful... Just want Calluna safe.
Plant.. Planet not care.... Calluna want.

Langu.... Language not good. Hard . Explain.

*Morgan sits up tiredly and hugs Maril*
Morgan: I dunno... M'not hungry, I might just lie in for a bit. You sleep well?
*Smiles and kisses her cheek*


*Ra looks over at Furia*
Ra: Hm... World yes? Thoth could destroy the world if he wanted to. He is powerf- er, strong. He will find your daughter


*Black Hawk gets up and walks outside to watch the treeline*


*Thoth is looking around the planet for Calluna with his temper increasing to boiling point*
*Anything he comes across he either drains instantly or blows up*

*Marilania smiles and returns it happily*
I slept well ernough. Some nightmares are hard to forget though. Not the worst. You helped.

Did Gharn make it back. Dira needed him. ?
*smiles*
I know you helped keep me going.. Maria is trying keep Marla going but she taking things harder.
...

*Furia *
I hope right.
Clan last of us... Need strong.
*sighs*
Mari... Maria, Mali learn me some words of yours.
Planet broke before more...

...

*Marla and Maria sat talking and wave to anyone who enters the eating area but family are fairly tight knit right now. *

*Morgan nods*
Morfan: Gharn's safe. Mum called in the middle of the night. She said she wanted me ti stick with you for some reason. Something about nit getting me mixed up in something...
*He sighs*
Morgan: I think she thinks that if I stay with you I might not be so singled out by the assassins...
*Kisses again and smiles*
Morgan we helped each other, how about that?


*Ra nods*
Ra: Hm. How good is your tracking?


*BH walks back inside and sees the M's but decides not to get invlved*

*Gandrea stares at the pear for a while, not understanding what it is*
*She scoots over a bit for David to sit down next to the tree as well, and sniffs the pear*

~

*Maiev reluctantly stands and nods*
M: I guess so...

~

*The boy smiles, and pats Calluna on the back*
Boy(in flawless Ancient Egyptian): What a wonderful voice! Who taught you how to speak?

~

*Denny also eventually hugs Jake, and doesn't let go, cause she's been wanting to do so for a while but hasn't had the chance to*
D: I swear to god we will get out of this...

*Calluna is still scared because she's been with her parents her whole live, never knowing life without them, plus being in a new location with no idea how she got there, plus the strange boy is freaking her out*
*She flinches as she's patted and speaks again, this time in Latin, again without realizing she's switching languages*
*She knows all this because in addition to giving her power Thoth also imbued her with knowledge rooted deep in her subconscious. Even she doesn't know everything she knows if that makes sense*
Calluna: Leave...me...alone! Want Papa! Mama! Mamaaaa!
*Wails for her mother and starts crying then curls up into a ball*

*Marilania*
Maybe, also I seem to keep your temper in check at times.
If you don,t fight with them, they seem to bother you less. They strict, but not entirely unfair.

*smiles and plays with his hand*
True.. We make a good team.
And least Morri ... Trusts me. I guess she worked out the obvious.
*very trusting round Morgan*

...

*Furia*
Track.... Track ok. Mostly bear, deer for hunt.
... World broken... Harder.

Can try.

...

*Marla and Maria wave over and Maria keeps a arm round her sisters shoulder, both seem distracted by events and Marla seems to be relying on her sister more than normal*
*Maria*
Hey, sorry, things are... Difficult right now.

*Marla nods sadly leaning against Maria*

*Morgan nods and smiles comfortably*
Morgan: Yeah... I know she does. She never really distrusted you, why would she?


*Ra nods*
Ra: I need you to help me find my cousin Horus. He's very much like me so you're looking for bootprints. I've been wandering around for over a day but I can't track for gak


*Black Hawk nods*
BH: Well just let me know if you need anything


OOC: Oh, just noticed. Happy 20,000th post Vanden!

*Marinalia*
She fell out with me abit after Dira got hurt. Seems so long ago now.. Was not sure if id lost her trust. Not seen her much thanks to events.
Cal was kind though, helped me. Kinda probably meant we ended up we..

*relaxes and generally enjoys the company *

...

*Furia nods*
Will try... You protect, I track..
Horus big yes? Like you?
*tracks based on boot weight, size and needs a average to look for*

...

*Maria nods*
Thanks... We just need tine, I'm too experienced helping with things like this..
*sighs*
I've been there myself.

*Marla nods*
Milo... Not seen him since attack. Never been separated this long.

OOC Oh ew. 20,000 posts of cancer.

Bic *The boy's smile twitches slightly, then sits down beside Calluna and pushes a plate of beautiful looking panna cotta towards Calluna*
Boy(in perfect latin): You can see them soon, sweet princess, but first you have to eat!
*The boys voice is soft and friendly, but the essence within him is pure darkness, so yay for split personalities*

*Morgan nods*
Morgan: She was just worried...
*Smiles and just cuddles*


*Ra nods*
Ra: A bit bigger than me. Heavier too.


*Black Hawk nods sadly*
BH: We've just got to hope he's out there somewhere... I'm just glad Billy wasn't here when this all went down


*Calluna looks at the boy carefully with her purple pupils and then slowly tries some of the dessert*
*She seems surprised at the taste but hungrily eats it then looks at the boy*
Calluna: Soon? When soon?

OOC: Nahhh, maybe 18,472 posts of cancer, but there were at least a few good ones in there.
Also Imma sleep now, g'night
