I disagree... We need good news at this point.

*Coughs and wakes up*

It's like my everything's everything got hurt...

*Tries getting up but falls back down from the pain*

And I think another everything should be added to that sentence...

*Death nods*

Death: Mhm sure, just let me finish this episode and I'll do it.

*space wolf helps her*

I'm not gentle as Marla, but *helps and palaces in a comfey position that hurts less*
We train in more than war, and we respect you as a warrior. Our saga names you a valikerie of many wounds. Trust me its a honour.

[Eyes grow wide] I think he is exploring having memories. I keep having flashbacks of a great many things.
[Smiles] Things I'd forgotten. Rain falling on tents. First meeting Kimmy. First seeing Her.

... Okay, you can stop now. Please.
[Smile fades] ...

... I've killed a lot of people. Only some of them deserved it. [Staring straight ahead] I don't know what he's looking-

...

Ugh...Cheers...

*Looks at remnants of robo-arm*

Huh...I guess I'm gonna need a new one after all...

*Leans on organic shoulder and awkwardly holds Yarricks hand*

I'm sorry. If I can go a single deployment without nearly dying, or dying, then I will. It's almost as if I am meant to die everytime...

OOC *HINT* *HINT* *HINT* *HINT* *HINT* *HINT* *HINT*

*rune priest hums*

I sense something.... I'm not sure.... Yes... This merits study.... But what... What i do not know. There are traces obvious in the black wolf rune...

*Releases Yarricks hand and rests it on chest*

*Looks over at the Rune Priest*

Whats he on about?

[Yarrick looks over at Death] Is Amelia defying fate, or just the odds? I feel like there's something at work, and while you don't owe us answers, you are by nature not one to extend life. So what gives, here?

[Benny has started silently crying and trying to hide it, badly] He's looking for something, and I don't know what.

Runes dear varden. The building blocks of the universe.

Each has many forms, versions. And meaning. Used properly, very powerful. For example. *draws a small rune on her arm and pain begins to ease*

*Deaths head turns on point*

Death: Well, it appears that the Farseer you guys had in here cast a spell on her, which propels her fate down the thread where death is closest. So far, she has managed to live through about eight of them, why she keeps living however, is because she really just does not want to die. She fears what it will do to you.

*Death gestures towards Benny*

Also, you should help him out. The entity has borrowed his mind and is now accessing repressed memories...Oh wow. I see why he repressed them.

*Amelia shakes her head*

I always fight the worst people...

*Feels the rune being drawn*

It tickles...

[In a ball on the sofa] It's okay. ...He found what he was looking for. He's apologising.
[Snuffles into tissue]

*this may feel odd for a second...

*draws several complex runes*
It will provide some protection... Its a ainciant and powerful rune that has protected lives for melenia. Its the rune of the great world spirit. A truely old power and one of great strength.
I shall study....
*telaports off*

[Yarrick goes pale] That bitch.

Can we dispel it, somehow?

..Can it be transferred?

*Arm tickles again*

Hehe...Thanks whateveryournameis. I appreciate what you're doing for me.

*Attempt to sit up again and succeeds*

*Grabs Yarrick and pulls him close*

*Kisses him*

I've been waiting to do that for a while. I'll check up on Benny and see whats up with him, then I'll be back and we might be able to reveal a special something.

*Death tilts her head*

Well, when the nephalim taught the young elves how to magic, they didn't give them many cancelling spells. I could do it, but that would require a great expenditure of souls and energy. Souls I am saving for the resurrection of Nicholas' wife. So thats a no-go on my part. And I really don't think some fancy shmansy drawings could fix a spell that ancient.

[Yarrick blushes, hard] You could've just said... I'd have obliged.


[Benny has calmed down slightly] ...I'm fine. Honestly. It's something I already knew. I just didn't know the whole truth of it all. [Sighs]

*Sits down next to Benny*

You don't want to talk about it? Thats fine by all accounts, but keeping it cooped in there isn't the best solution.

*voice floats in*

Its a limiting factor. This spell is no mere trick. It can be broken I believe but be difficult. I will find a way even if your giving up.

*voice vansishes*

Ooc goodnight. Feel free to NPC wolf or Marla as needed

OOC Night Jhe.

I find it really odd that I say goodnight to all yous. Its morning here.

I do not understand time and/or the concept of the orbiting of the sun.

[Turns to look at Amelia] I'm... I'm not Kimmy's biological father. I always knew. That's why we have nothing in common other than our DNA... Why she's a psyker, and I can't even do logic puzzles.
But I did date her mother, and we were in love; deeply, truly. Things just... Life isn't fair.

No. It isn't...But you realize that she would also probably know, and that she accepts that just fine. You've been a great father, and you are the only perosn Kimmy has in her life that she can ever say that to. You are the man in her life, you both know it. You take care of her, you protect her, and you are the one that educates her. By all accounts, you ARE her father. And a damn good one at that.

*Takes out a handkerchief and gives it to Benny*

Go and speak to her. She'll appreciate hearing it from you.

*OT looks up at Death*

Perenelle? You can... do it now?

[Shakes head] She knows... She can rearrange blood vessels in mid-air, it doesn't need saying. She also knows I love her, and I do say that often. [Smiles] You're too kind, really.

I am her dad. What I didn't remember... I'm also her brother.
When I wouldn't... You know... With her mother...
The Schola took matters into their own hands. Used stored imperial DNA. But they didn't want any more Bennies. They went back one generation.

[Sighs] I guess it explains a lot. And changes nothing.

*walks past the Room whistling cheerfully*

*Death nods*

Ahah. Gimme a minute.

*Amelia looks shocked*

I...Kindof understand...But I think she would appreciate you telling her even though she already knows. I umm...I think you need to tell your girlfriend too...This would be a lot to handle. Even for someone like her.

*Walks back to Yarrick and sits in his lap*

[Considers] When I've calmed down, I'll talk to her. I don't want her to think she's made me unhappy. [Smiles]

[Yarrick spins in seat and spots Taldeer in passing] [Invents a new curse word]

*doesn't even hear BC cursing*
*continues to whistle cheerfully whilst on her walk*

*Waiting urgently*

*Places her hand on Yarricks hand*

Let it slip. I don't want her to cast anything on you. That would complicate things.

*Rests head on his shoulder*

*snaps her fingers without even looking and BC's coat is replaced by a pink and fluffy bathrobe, and his hat is replaced with a sparkly shower cap*
*continues walking*

*Still waiting urgently*
