*Hanna shakes her head*

Hanna: N-no... The tests were... thorough...

*Iris looks down at Hanna*
Iris: Hanna did... someone make you this way?

*Hanna nods*

*She doesn't say anything else*

*Iris continues hugging Hanna, trying to to her best to comfort the girl*
Iris: W-what... what do you want me to do? I know people, my husband. If you want, he could go after them, see that they don't do this to anyone else ever again.

*Hanna shakes her head*

Hanna: N-no... I-I just want to forget them...

*She slowly breaks the hug and heads for her room*

Hanna: G-good night...

*Iris watches Hanna go sadly*
Iris: I'm sorry Hanna...
*She curls up on a couch to sleep*
Iris: I know exactly how you feel...
*Zzzzzzz*

*Marilania nods with a frustrated look at everything and the being stuck in a foreign base, and more beside*

Sure..
Il go.. *lies back on a sofa with t shirt on and breastplate lieing by side reading the harry potter book she found Iris never used*

*Kara lifts Maiev up and just cradles her*
K: I...
*is at a loss for words, and she just sinks to her own knees while still holding Maiev*
*pulls Maiev closer to her and closes her eyes*

*Nero is off in the base somewhere, probably being anti-social*

*Iris can't seem to sleep and just lies awake on the couch*
*Her mind is going at 100 miles an hour as she tries to think of a way to help Hanna feed without resorting to cannibalizing herself or eating other living people.*
*Really isn't getting much success beyond thinking of Wade*


*Gharn prods the corruption with his sapling again to see what it might do*
*Billy and Black Hawk are looking at the wave of corruption itself to see what it's done.*


*Dria looks panicked and limps from her room*
Dria: Aunt Marla! Aunt Maria! Please where are you!?

*Marla opens her door and looks out wondering what going on*

What's up Dira?
*heads out and looks at her concerned and puts arm round shoulder to help*
What's going on? Wanna come on in and sit down?


...

*Marinalia lies back reading Harry potter and watches the door hoping friends will return safe *
*kicks off boots and puts feet up for abit *

*Dria shakes her head frantically and tries dragging Marla towards her family's rooms*
Dria: NO! No it's not me! It's Scatty! I-I-I think she's dying!

*Scatty is lying on the sofa, deathly pale, her heart beats shallowly and she's barely breathing*

*Marla picks up pace immediately and shouts for Maria hoping is she hears*

*Runs as fast as Dira will allow and immediately goes to check on Scatty looking worried as so pale and does a emergancy check using old fashioned methods on her vitals*
You got any kind of med kit round here.. Just incase, anything..

She's weak... Has she eaten? Liquids?
Cal do anything...? I'm gonna have words with that elder.

*Dria shakes her head*
Dria: He did everything he could, he said as much. He said it was up to her now.
*She hobbles over and grabs a medkit off the table*
Dria: I've been doing what he said in his note, giving her some water and pulped fruit every few hours. But she's just been getting worse!


*Scatty is pretty much limp, her wounds have healed from her severe beating at the hands of the demons, but she's not looking good otherwise*

*Marla checks her vitals again and shakes head*
Ain't gonna lie. She is below on vitals, heart beat slower, breathing...

*looks through med kit and shakes head pulling our a few things*
Gah. Be back in a sec..
*runs to kitchen grabs some rations as has more energy in if needed and whatever she can and returns in under a minute*

Make those rations into a paste, *explains*
Its rough but a higher energy food might help...

Look. Dira, I got barely anything... I got no kit, Il try my best but honestly... I gotta be honest. This ain't good.

*Dria looks terrified for her cousin and quickly grinds the rations to paste before handing them over*
*She then kneels in a corner, eyes close and hands clasped together as if in prayer*

*Marla quickly mixes up using the limtied suplies a nutrient rich paste and uses some other bits from med kit to try and give Scatty a minor nudge to try and get her breathing and heart rate up *

*slowly gives her the paste and makes sure not choke etc and waits to hope that it kicks in abit*

*looks over to Dira and places a hand on her shoulder concerned for her unofficial neice*
Cal was right, but ... You did right thing. You got help.
I'm gonna do anything i can.

*Dria does look up but keeps praying*


*The paste goes down and sever seconds later Scatty's heart skyrockets into cardiac arrest.*
*She starts seizing badly*

*immediately begins to try and counter it with what she has and performs any required CPR etc talking while running though emergency routines *

Feth... That dosage was very low too! Just ernough to push her out of imediate danger for now... Same with food.. She needed energy... Too weak.
Dira... Your people... How you react to.. *lists off a few items*

*Scatty stops seizing the second her heart stops beating, so right about now*
*Dria sees her go still*
Dria: Oh no! No no no!
*She stumbles over to her*
Dria: Scatty! Scatty no!

*marla immediately switches and peforms rapid emergency techniques, chest compressions and such*

Come on!
You ain't dieing that easy! No way.

*does everything she can with the limited supplies she got swearing rather rapidly as she works through counting the various actions and repeats*

*Nothing seems to work. Scatty's breathing has stopped, her heart isn't beating either and she's ghost white*


*Dria is sobbing in the corner, praying that Marla's ministrations will work, even though they won't*

*Marla*

Damn.. Dammntit..
*grabs one last gambit and rips the tv off wall and separates the wires*

Dira... Stay back.. This is dangerous as hell..
*tries to shock scattys heart back blowing out the fuse on plug and hopes her desperate measures worked however unlikely*

*sighs and hopes as she running rapidly out of options *

*All that happens is Scatty's body jerks a bit from the electricity but her heart doesn't start again.*
*She lies on the sofa, looking dead as a doornail*


*Dria is still crying*


*Morgan leans heavily against a tree, feeling greatly saddened by Dria via twinsense*
MOrgan: S-something... something's happened...

*Marla cries slightly as unable to save her and does a check as a matter of professional nature and getting no sign of pulse*

*respectfully closes her eyes and cover over with a blanket before going and holding Dira sad herself *

I ... I did everything I could...
She,s ... Passed away. Il stay long as you need me.

...

*Furia turns rpaidly to Morgan as he slumps*
*may be some what a stranger but also knows value that a hurt person is a big disadvantage.*
You... Hurt? Water, food?

*rummages in a bag for suplies of needed*

Ooc. Night. Pause or NPC as needed.

*Dria hugs Marla tightly, crying hard*

*Scatty moves no more*


*Morgan shakes his head*
Morgan: N-no... my sister... something's wrong! She's... so sad... something's happened...

*Marla just holds onto Dira and looks after her*
*generaly takes same care she would looking after her blood neice as her parents ain't there either further upping need*

I ain't leaving you alone tonight. You safe.
*sad her self but tries to hold it together for Dira*

..

*Furia looks confused but also accepts it*
She safe with other clanmates...
*looks at him older than he is but can also tell what he is thinking*

Please.. Not run. Dangerous. Wait. Tell billy, gharn, we head back if they agree.

Ooc night for reals.

*Athan stows his gear and sets out for a walk, humming softly in the evening wind*

OOC: Back at the computer for the fist time in forever. Still trying to get a feel for the interweaving story-lines here.

*Dria holds tightly onto Marla. Her eyes are squeezed tightly shut as she squeezes Marla, so she doesn't notice Scatty silently sit up on the couch and regard the pair blankly*


*Morgan looks antsy but nods*
Morgan: O-okay

*Athan shuffles about down a dirt path, aimlessly kicking twigs from the space before him*

Athan: I wonder if the others ever made it home....

*The setting sun glints faintly off of the soldier's faded armor, and a rustling in the bushes brings Athan to attention*

*Denny continues working out like a complete boss*

*Maiev cries into Kara's chest, and can do no more cause she's weak as feth*
*The knife eventually tumbles out of her hand cause it wasn't deep enough inside Kara to stay*

*Belial eventually stops feeding Calluna energy, and sits down beside her*
*He watches her for a bit, then strokes her hair once, and goes back to watching her*
