*Hanna's eye is still playing up and she whimpers trying to stay cool*

*She bites her lip*

Hanna: W-we need t-t-t-to g-g-get that c-c-cut c-covered...

*Hanna bites her thumb, then just ends up biting it off*

*Iris looks over at Hanna and sees her trouble*
Iris: Oh! Oh Hanna I'm so sorry! I wasn't thinking, I'll just have to do this then...
*She traces one finger over the cut, healing with the aura, blood has still trickled down her arm and there's quite a few drops on her lap*
*She looks extremely apologetic and tries not to wince at the thumb-crunch*
Iris: I'm so sorry my dear, I should have thought- Well, nevermind.

*Hanna turns away*

Hanna: N-n-no it's f-f-fine! I-I j-j-just need t-to get u-used to t-the smell o-of blood ...

*Hanna twitches then takes a deep breath*

*Marinalia after her bit keeps fairly quiet on things knowing a little bit how she felt after the death of Victor*
*sighs as her own currently relationship kinda stemmed from that and works in a stupidly confused way she is yet to understand *

*kinda has emotinal issues herself*

Ooc just a quick post. Not quite home yet.

*Iris quickly wades into the pool of water and washes the blood away*
Iris: No really! I should've been more attentive! There, no more blood. Okay? I'm sorry.
*She looks apologetic but doesn't come out of the water as it's nice and cool*
Iris: Mm... This water is perfect!
*She holds a hand to her ear to see if she can hear any sounds of battle from Horus and Spawn then sighs worriedly and wades about a little bit*
Iris: Hanna, the water's perfect!


*Morri nods to Maril.
Morri: ALright... Thank you. I'll see if I can find them. You two, make sure nothing happens... to him...

*Hanna smiles*

Hanna: T-thank you Iris...

*She sits at the waters edge*

*She takes another sip of the water then just sits there*

*She eventually pulls out the tube from her backpack and starts fiddling with it*

*Iris smiles and nods*
Iris: Of course Hanna! Don't worry, it was just a silly mistake on my part!
*She's half tempted to fully submerge but decides against it and comes back to shore, where she sits next to Hanna and puts her feet in the water*
Iris: What's that you've got there?
*Points to the tube*

*Marinalia nods*
Of course Morri. I only wish we could of got word to you sooner..

*notices Morgan still has her necklace from weeks ago*
So much chaos... I forgot I gave you that for safe keeping.

Ooc quick post.
Should be able to reply in 20-30 if I'm home.

*Hanna notices Iris is very wet and makes a little squeak*

*She looks away and notices she's playing with the pipe*

*She quickly puts it away*

Hanna: I-It's n-nothing! N-nothing i-important anyway... A-another weapon...

*Hanna hadn't even noticed she had removed the pipe from her backpack*

*Iris sighs as she notices she's made Hanna uncomfortable again*
Iris: Oh, another- Okay.
*She lies back and puts her hands behind her head, seeming a bit tired*
Iris: Mm...
*She tries again to hear some sort of sound from the fighting but hears nothing currently and seems worried*
Iris: Can I ask why you always wear your backpack? I've never seen you without it


*Gharn carries Dria around, looking for others and hears Iris's voice*

Hanna: I-its b-basically a part of me.. T-they put it in me... I-I can remove it... B-but I l-like to keep it on... W-well it's more i-in then on m-my back...

*She rubs her shoulder*

*Iris frowns and sits up, then puts a hand on Hanna's shoulder and squeezes*
Iris: It's alright dear... One of these days we'll have to see if we can find who's done this to you.
*She pulls Hanna in a gentle hug*


*Gharn spots Iris and Hanna and moves towards them*

OOC: For the sake of efficiency, and the sake that Slaanesh's Palace is around the calibre of setting that would get me instabanned if I wrote it properly, the rescue mission will be offscreen until further notice.

BIC:

*In the depths of the Living Hive, former server rooms, now completely filled with the purple fluid, liquified human souls and minds, pulsate madly as the Hive thinks with its billion minds*

*HDF soldiers grow out of watchtowers and parapets, silently watching the city*

*Irilis is getting increasingly agitated, and continues speaking through her mind*

This is not right. It has to be up to something - nothing "just exists"...

*She and Hrorki are now beginning to walk into an industrial sector*

*Marria follows Gharn and Dira as she needs a place and I forgot about her alot...*
I

*keeps sword drawn and is cautiously looking round*
By the emperor this place is gakked up...

...


*Marinalia sits down after sliding cal back safe and its abit hard to look at*
Thanks for everything cal. We owed you and cannot repay now.
*turns to Morgan after morri leaves*
Guess I passed then.
*feels bad as cal helped her get where she is now and probably saved her life once or twice*

...

Furia and Calluna taking shelter as unsure what going on and I need to develop stuff for them on Furia side *

*Hanna hugs back*

Hanna: I k-know who d-did it. I d-don't know their name... But I know t-the faces. T-the peons... C-can we not t-talk about m-me anymore...

*Iris squeezes Hanna for a second then lets her go and smiles gently*
Iris: Of course Hanna, so, what would you like to talk about while we wait for Horus to kick that bugger's teeth in? Something about me perhaps? Questions?


*Gharn looks over his shoulder at Maria*
Gharn: Do you know where we are? I was drawn through a portal...


*Morgan slowly sinks to the floor, head in hands*
Morgan: I... Yeah I guess...
*Looks hecka depressed*

*Maria looks over pulling off her helmet with eyes twinkling gold in shadows*
No damned idea... Just ended up here. Least I found someone.
*walks up still wearing armour as never had chance tp change*

I'm more worried for the others... *and the obvious obviously*
Cannot raise Marla... Must be far enough.

...

*Marinalia sits down next to him slightly more gracefully*
Sorry...the emparor is sure testing us right now...

*sad but still effected but nowhere near as Morgan*
I never knew .. So... I can,t even begin to understand...

...

*Jarl blinks and groans at pain*
I think I'm gonna go to the Chapter for abit... Il need a apochary for these to heal fully.

*Hanna thinks*

Hanna: What c-colours can you c-change to?

*Hanna smiles*

*Hrorki shares Irilis' agitation, and so he slightly increases his pace, doing his best to appear unworried*
*he nonchalantly puts on his helmet and seals it*
*continues on a steady course through the industrial sector*

*Milo is currently in good hands, but he is beyond messed up right now*

*Iris smiles*
Iris: Good question! I can change into pretty much any color, but it's dependent on my mood. If I'm calm, like I am now, I'm this peaceful shade of blue. If I'm angry I'm red, if I'm happy, I'm yellow, if I'm tur- Err... nevermind. If I'm envious I'm green, so on and so forth. I can change colors on purpose if I concentrate hard for a while, but it's difficult.


*Gharn nods and looks around*
Gharn: It is like our world... but yet not. I don't know, something doesn't feel right...


*Morgan bites back a harsh retort about the Emperor and just growls angrily*
Morgan: Feth... Feth! FETH! FETHING FETH!
*He stands up and punches the wall a few times with each swear, leaving small dents in it*
Morgan: IT'S NOT FAIR! WHY'D IT HAVE TO BE HIM!? HE'S GONE, AND THE LAST THING I EVER DID WAS FIGHT WITH HIM!
*He breaks down again as guilt washes over him and he slumps to the ground, face buried in his hands
Morgan: I'm such a fething gakhead...

*maria*

aye... im getting no comms signals or beacons..
this place i do not know.
*if with DIra*
how the young lady holding up?
*seems concerned if there*

*keeps sword handy and has a pistol that might make gharn squirm a tony bit as its the one she kinda shot him with*

...

*Marilania holds back a less controlled reaction knowing circumstanvces but not the details*
what... Morgan... what in the....

*does not know any of this and takes time to relise what he was meaning as was not there early on*
oh.. *kinda stuck what to say on the issue*

*quietly to self but Morgan probbly hear*
id not of stayed if i did not belive you where good person..

*also slightly defensive of her culture but holds back reacting as far bigger issues*

*Gharn's felinethropic face somehow looks worried as he looks down at Dria. She's just curled in his arms, not moving except to breath, and just staring ahead*
Gharn: She's... She's not spoken for days... I got her to eat, but it took over a hour of pleading... She's shut herself down...


*Morgan doesn't really respond to Maril except to lean against her slightly*

*Hanna smiles*

Hanna: That's amazing! W-what other things can y-you do? A-actually n-never mind, it's n-not fair I ask w-what you can do b-but not tell you w-what I can do...

*Maria sighs as there's nothing physically wrong with her *
I cannot help you there... She will open up when she wants to.
She needs time and well, you.

*looks out*
Lets try n find water...theses normaly some kinda food close by.
We need the strengh anyway.

...

*Marinalia lets him and does not retort on the cultural aide though is slightly hurt deep down as she values her home world and culture being one of few stable things she had*

*just lets him rest and puts arm round him if can or permitted *

*Iris shakes her head and laughs infectiously*
Iris: Oh no! No no no! I'm more than happy to share! Come, let me show you!
*She explains a few things like how Aura works, and she shows off by showing Hanna the rainbow shaded glow that surrounds her body when it's active*
*She also shows her her limited water powers by creating a floating ball of water out of the pool, hovering it over them both then popping it and getting them both rather wet, though not soaked. Think like a water balloon*
*She laughs cheerily, momentarily distracted from her worries*

*Eventually she tires and curls up to sleep*
Iris: I'm sorry Hanna... this old Goddess, needs some shut-eye.
*She dozes off peacefully, despite still being rather wet*


*Morgan accepts the arm and takes her hand in his, just holding it for a while as guilt about his last interactions with his father wash over him*

*Hanna laughs at getting wet*

*She hugs Iris*

Hanna: H-have a good s-sleep.

*She nods and watches Iris sleep ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)*

*Marinalia looks over and lets him rest on her in a more confey way*
*natural pillows*
*seems to need a higher degree method*

...

*Maria follows Gharn looking out for some water source as there's likely food and yoh need water*

...

*Marla taking very good care of Milo and doing best but he is pretty darn fethed up*
*practically asleep holding his hand after a epic medical montage*

...

*Jarl gets up and forces self up to try and find a system to message for lift to Fenris/space wolf base of operations *

*Milo is currently fast asleep*
*while he is stable, he is going to be weak for a long time, as Spawn nearly wrecked his spine in addition to play handball with several of his organs*

*Hrorki continues his silent walk towards the armory*
*still disgusted by the goo people, but for once he manages to hide his disgust fairly well*

*Marla knows how fethed up Milo is and rather concerned but also so exhauseted is nigh alseep in chair next to him*

*for some reason she has given up questioning refuses to let go of his hand feeling it right for above reasons*
*too tired for critical thinking much*

*Exhausted from Aura and hours of surgury*
