Snow, pretty snow, snow wolves,

*snow wolf starts running round room in a wolf shape*

Wolf, wolf.

Ooc
Hyper space wolf is fun

Fair enough.
*goes back into couch and begins to brew more coffee*

*dazed space wolf wakes up*
That was quite the trip, why is the room full of snow?

Wow, that was strong coffee....
*Goes for nap guarded by spectral wolf as bob phases out *

I think I'll start putting up some decorations.
*Makes building size artificial snowbird in the middle of the store*
Perfect!

Now then, I believe I had a customer in isle 372 looking for a plasma cutter array

*hands BC a mug*

Warm milk. Although most probably not the kind you are used to. Drink.

*Steps out of the hide and assembles a laspistol from various pieces of garbage*
Remember where what?
*Moves over to BC*

I remember where Kimmy came from. [Shivers] [Looks down front of shirt] And where these markings came from.
[Looks at cup] ...? [Drinks quietly]

Are you alright there? Where did they come from?

*walks over and gives everyone coffee before walking back to couch*

[Curls up in a ball on side on sofa] [Pulls blanket over] The inquisition wrote them on my tummy. [

Mumbles] Using knives.

Wait. But... where did Kimmy come from?
*Preparing the neural dampener behind back*

*falls onto a table between Verviedi and BC*
Who put that fethin' teleporter up there?
Engie......

'Excuse me, but has anyone seen my telepor-Oh there it is! I've been looking for that forever! It was triggered accidentally and it's been teleportig all over ever since

Arranged partnership. [Sounds miserable] Like breeding horses, except they used people. Picking healthy, obedient, Imperial recruits. Erasing the evidence after with wipes and sterilisation.
[Pulls blanket down further] Chances are her mother doesn't even know she had a daughter.

And I was compliant in that system. What the hell kind of person was I?

*puts a hand on BC's shoulder*
It's alright mate, we all have our pasts. I didn't know that I was actually a Kiwi until a little while ago. You don't need to feel bad. You just need to move on.

[Confused silence] You're a small furry fruit?

No I'm actually from New Zealand. They refer to us as Kiwis. Odd I know, but it's how it is.

Is arranged partnership not a standard practice through the entire Imperium?
Do not feel bad. You were a slave then, forced to do those things under the pain of death and unendurable agony at the hands of the Inquisition. Here, you are free.
I was compliant when my masters in the Mechanicus ordered the extermination of billions with virus bombs and cyclonic torpedoes. I have forgiven myself, as I am a different person from the automaton that could fire upon a planet and feel nothing.
I am sure that you are a different person than the slave you were then.
And also, that is pure evidence that you have amazing genes. Good Emperor, man.
*Lays hand on BC's shoulder reassuringly*

*puts arms around both BC and Vervi*
This sounds like the perfect time for hugs!

*joins in happily*

*lands on BC's shoulder and hugs hat with wings* There there...

*smiles before going back into couch*
*hangs up closed sign, sounds of snoring come from within*




OOC: Back to the Marine, he's better at the touchy-feely stuff.

*Directed at Her*
...For someone who appears metallic, you are surprisingly soft and warm.

*comes through the ceiling in another drop pod, which lands on top of the other two*
Hey guys I'm back from my errands. Who ordered the 100 pound bag of machine parts? I had to pay extra to get that from EmperorMart, OrkMart didn't have it in stock. And who ordered the 20 pound block of butter?
*sees everyone hugging*
Ok, what did I miss this time?

Nothing much. A corporate war, attempted assassination, and some sort of flashback session


Bah. EmperorMart. They're prices are 4 times our and the quality 10 times lower

Sorry, I would have ordered, except your franchisee didn't have anything in stock, you seriously need to fire that manager. Although I did find that vortex grenade dispenser you were looking for
*drops it on the desk next to Thrakka*
There you go!

Ah finally! That's been on backorder for months!

As for than manager. I think it's that Tucan down on 87/547 (87th floor 547th aisle)
Or maybe those 2 Honeyguide brothers on 345/20345

We have a manager for every 100 aisles or so, with about 1 employee for every 5 aisles

Then we have about 100000 employees working stock and shipping

and the 3 guys on checkout of course!

[Freezes at being hugged] I err... [Mental recalibration]

Ohh inquisition, yes as I recall via a rather broken time journey we had some issues with them. Turns out you can beat them if you have a whole chapter, a ainciant fortress, and a gaint fleet.

They looked rather salty mind.... Sisters did too, we disagreed earlyer.

*pats lightly in back,*
Don,t worry we all have inquisition issues. Don,t let it get you down, get a pet wolf, they always cheer you up.

*goes to mirror to tidy beard*

Fethin' Inquisition, they ruin everything. Even my own Chapter is not quite immune to their scheming. More than once an Inquisitor has tried to drag me into one of their schemes. Cowards. All of them

*space wolf laughs* we got them to never orbit our planet again. Bjorn is quite the negotiator. Also we teach about (redacted by order of chapter) and the (redacted)

So yes, sometimes you can win

Sisters did not like the krakens mind, there invasion was broken without firing a shot. They avoid us too.
