*Horus shrugs*
Horus: That depends entirely on who you're speaking to. Me? I'm a supporter. I've helped them in the past, showed them how to create various things.. A friend of mine, Prometheus, he brought them fire, taught them how to use it.
Another old Elder by the name of 'The Witch of Endor' taught them language, reading and writing. She brought them the ability of record their history.
Alas some are not so... helpful. I know one Elder by the name of Artemis, she despises humans, men especially. She'll kill them whenever she can, though sometimes she'll take on human women as handmaidens.

*Hanna sits up and looks at the hole she made in the floor*

Hanna: I-I should probably go tell s-someone about that...

*She smiles and hugs Iris quickly before heading into the main room*

*Nero nods*
N: Can't say I'm surprised. But I can't say that I wouldn't put a round in Artemis' head if I got the chance.
*shrugs, and doesn't feel at all sorry for what he said*

*Horus nods*
Horus: If I have to say one thing, she does treat her handmaidens well, but that's about it.
*He looks at the fort as it looms in the distance*
Horus: Hm, looks like we're here... I hope Iris made it...


*Iris smiles and hugs back*
Iris: Alright! Just be careful, sometimes the Imperium can be a little... cautious around mu- *Stops herself* non-humans

*Nero nods, not knowing who Iris is*
N: Think they'll be upset about Carver dying?
*sighs*
N: Part of why I prefer working alone.

*Horus shrugs and gestures to Emma*
Horus: Hopefully she'll remember enough to tell whoever's in charge what happened to you and-
*He looks back at Thoth only to find him missing*
Horus: What the- Danu! I hate when he does that! Look, just explain what happened and if they don't believe us I'll make sure we get out.


*Thoth blinked away. Far away*

*Nero shrugs*
N: Don't think they'd try and kill us. Their leader seemed competent from what I saw. And if they do, then we'll deal with that when the time comes. Jason, he runs the place, he's the one that sent me with Carver and Emma in the first place.
*still sounds pretty casual about it*

*Horus nods*
Horus: Good, then you can explain how this 'Carver' died.
*Walks up to the base and enters then sets Emma down gently on a couch nearby*

*Nero nods*
N: Sounds good.
*heads to a couch and plops down, figuring that if an assassin wants to ask about Carver, they can come to him*
*wouldn't admit it, but he's also sore from the fight, cause Diablo's breath will do that to you*

*Tech priests grab Emma, and carry her away.*

---
*Jason walks into the main room, and sighs.*
Jason: So we are dealing with some demonic beings.
*Looks at Horus and frowns.*
Jason: Was really hoping you'd stay missing, Horus.

*Horus nods*
Horus: Yes, now I wonder-
*He's cut off as a nude yellow streak slams into him, nearly knocking him down*
*Iris sprinted from the kitchen, not caring that the blanket fell away as she leaps onto Horus*
*Horus is laughing with relief as Iris hugs him tightly and plants kisses all over his beak*
Horus: Iris! Oh it's good to see you alive and well!
*Iris doesn't let up showing her happiness for his return*
*Horus tries to speak to Jason through smooches to his beak from Iris*
Horus: I- hm- see that I'm- Iris half a second!- welcome here.
*Speaks sarcastically of course*

*Nero nods*
N: We killed three of them. Another four ran away. They'll probably come back, and we'll just take them out when they do.

*Hanna walks into the main room and looks back at the hole she made in the kitchen*

*She the looks at Jason then at Iris and Horus*

*Has no idea what to do*

*Jason frowns at Hanna.*
Jason: Believe me, the hole in the kitchen is the least of my worries. Your origins, and what you have been eating or the only things of my concern.
*Turns back to Horus and Iris.*
Jason: Well this changes somethings, so never mind! Good work Nero, I expect we will need you for the other four, this time I will accompany you.

---
*Emma is getting a new arm, and fixed up in general.*

---
*Gunslingers are eating.*

*Iris has calmed down slightly but is still attached to Horus*
*Horus keeps one-hand under her, both supporting her and enjoying feeling his wife back in his arms*
*He looks down at Jason while Iris nuzzles his neck*
Horus: Can I get a briefing? I've been wandering out there for weeks doing jack gak. I want to help kick these demons off the planet.

*Nero nods*
N: Sounds like a plan.
*makes himself more comfortable on the couch, and tries to get some shuteye*

*Wade teleports next to Jason and Hanna*
DP: Welcome home, Jay. And don't worry about Hanna, the only thing she's gonna be hurting is your coffee supplies.

*Hanna takes a step back after Jason speaks to her*

Hanna: W-what?...

*Hanna looks a bit frightened*

*Marla sees the blur and follows wondering that going on, greeting anyone new in the eating area*
I'm gonna check what's going on outside. Excuse me. Might have news.

*heads up to see who arrived*
(please be...)

...

*Furia groans and gets up as sleeping on floors ain't fun*
Oww...

*Looks round seeing strangers and others she not knowin kitchen dressed In metal armour, with leather below, fur and leather boots and a long fur cloak speaking in a heavy northern accent and fairly muscular*

Hello?
Excuse.. You see girl.. Young, *gestures to a rough size as age not a accurate count*
Eye... Pur. Purple..? Need find her.

*notices Marla leave and thinks something going on. *



*Maria naps in a corner of kitchen area quietly*


*Marinalia wakes up and looks round and then goes for a quick shower*

*Horus nods and smiles briefly to Marla as Iris continues to nuzzle his neck*
Horus: Marla, you're alive. Good.


*Morgan and Gharn are trying to work out a plan while Dria begs them not to leave her alone here.*
*The acknowledge she has a good point and probably shouldn't be left alone, but both want to go out and find Morri and Cal*

*Marla*
Hey Horus. Yeah I made it, Me Maria and Marlin ended up here a week ago at least. Morgan, Morris family made it, santingo, joalia, Jake, Denny, *lists those she know who made it*

Furia and Iris where some of last to arrive before you and...
*notices others but there total strangers to her*

And you found... Friends. ?

...

*Marinalia tried to remind them twice someone needs to look after Scatty and Dira as well as go searching last night*

*Maiev kinda understands what Andraste is saying, but that just means Kara went to hell, which makes her even angrier and grieving*
*The Avatar brings its massive glaive down at Andraste*

~

*The souls from the three dead evils seep into Calluna as she sleeps, heheheheheheheheeee...*

*Horus nods and looks down at Iris who is starting up at him with puppy dog eyes*
*Horus laughs and turns to go*
Horus: We'll be back later... I believe I'm about to make up for my absence over the last few weeks. See you in a day or so Marla. And... Jason was it? I'll talk to you soon. Even if we do end up hating each other, we could use each other. I've heard you're a man of great influence
*He goes a ways off into the woods as he's not entirely comfortable with the Assassin's base and ZK is offline*
*As he walks Iris grins and starts turning purple*


*Calluna squirms and cries out in her sleep from horrible nightmares*
*Thoth has set up some wards so the demons will have a bit of a fight to get to her spirit*

*Marla laughs slightly *
Day, two... Iris you lucky lady!
Have fun you two...

*waves them off*
*turns to Hanna*
Jason... Is stern but he also has been fair to us here.
Things seem alright here. Its not entirely luxurious but better than out there.

*Hanna turns to face Marla and she looks extremely worried*

*She then looks back at Jason and backs up more*

*Marla kneels down to more her level speaking softly*
Youl be safe here. No needles.

Iris will be back In a day or two. She not running away.
Deadpool will make sure your ok.
Wade... Think she needs your help...
*cannot believe she is even thinking of wade as her almost guardian figure*

*Wade looks over at Hanna*
DP: He's not gonna do gak.
*turns to face Jason*
DP: You already got one of your answers, bub.

*Andraste gets cut in half, which causes her to split into two white orbs that reform into Adraste several meters back*
You had to let her go. It was the only way.

*a small Fade rift opens behind Maiev, just enough for the horned figure to step out before it seals shut*
*the figure, who is now wearing dragonhide armor, stands rigid as she looks from Maiev and the Avatar, to Andraste*
Kara: Stop.

Jason to Deadpool: Sure, whatever.
*Jason sighs at Hanna.*
Jason: Enjoy your stay.
*He then walks off to his the secure part of the base, and smokes a cigarette.*

*Hanna watches Jason leave*

*She eases herself into a chair in the kitchen*

Hanna: H-how did he k-know?...

*Wade looks over at Hanna*
DP: Don't worry about it, he's not gonna run around killing people. They get orders to do that, so don't even trip!
*giggles*
DP: I've got some business to take care of. With you know who. I might pop up from time to time, but who knows, depends on my author. If you get hungry, you know the drill. Option B. Take care kiddo, and keep the acid away from carpets. That's hell to get out, I'm talkin' stains everywhere.
*ruffles Hanna's hair and teleports away*

*Nero's taking a nap, and probably won't wake up for awhile unless he needs to get NPC'd*

OOC: Gonna be my last post for awhile. Might be able to post tomorrow, idk.

*Hanna nods and hides that she is extremely sad Wade is leaving*

*She puts on a smile and hugs him before he leaves*

Hanna: P-please d-don't take to long. (Please...)
