I was a daemon? [Goes silent for a while] I feel like I can believe you. Even if I don't remember why.
But what did I do to deserve that? I- I was always doing what the priest said was right! I never hurt anyone.
I- We- were going to be married, and we hadn't even- I'd never...
[Hugs knees] What did I do?

*Leo takes off armor and pulls stilts out off the legs*

Leo: Thank you, really...

*Sits patiently while BlackJack works*

*Shrugs* I'm not sure. Maybe you should ask your husband once my friend finds him

*Horus is tearing about the room searching for Benny. Quetz places the note from WK next to Marla's tank*

OT: You had managed to free yourself from Slannesh. You were our friend and a good person.

*Exits tank and looks at the former-Daemonette*

*Gently stands her up*

*In a soft and soothing voice*

Come with me, I will explain everything...

*Looks at ZK*

You're a monster. I should've killed you when you first got here.

OT: I disagree. I think we could maybe restore her memories. Sorta like when you had no emotions. The brain never truly forgets.

[Doesn't back away] A-are you a daemon as well? [Looks around] ...Is anyone here not a daemon?
Is this hell?

[Benny emerges from kitchen] [Is crashed into by Horus]: ...?

It is her choice to make. What is it you want Daem-Er...Lady...You never told us your name while you were a Daemon.

*Looks at the former-Daemonette*

Yes I am. And you helped me get over it. Please, just come with me.

*Horus screeches to a halt when he sees BC*

Horus: Benny! Your wife! She's human!

OT: No, this is no more hell than Terra itself. Most of us are not Daemons, but we're not Human anymore either

*Still unconscious*

I would like to consider myself to not be a daemon.

*starts mixing ingredients into a vial and pours an acidic liquid into it*

Almost done Leonie, just mind the taste.

*Thinks*

Marla and Maria will be easier to talk to for you, they're Sisters of Battle. Please, come with me. This will all make sense once we explain this to you.

...Bridget. It was Bridget. [Steps to her side] [Takes her hand]

[Bridget looks confused]: ...Commissar? Have we- I know you. [Closes eyes] I don't know how. But I know you. [Opens eyes]
[Slaps Benny] ...and I know you're a massive pervert!

[Reels back] ...Not entirely undeserved, but I was hoping not the first conclusion you'd reach.

Ooc: Back using BC avatar, for anyone on mobile. Also I didn't expect this and have noooo plaaan.

OT: Oh boy... this could be difficult...

Leo: No worry's I got plenty of time, still unfit to got on missions because of the broken leg.

Leo: it should be good in about 10 mins.

*Looks at legs and smiles*

Leo: If this works your not going to be tiny anymore.

*Takes Benny and Bridgets hand*

I've left a message on Marla's vox, she will meet us at the Baneblade when she wakes up. Come.

*Gently leads the two to the Baneblade*

[Rubs jaw] ...You also know I wouldn't hurt you. [Takes her hand again] Don't you.

[Bridget nods]: ...That's becoming clearer. The strongest feeling though, is... Well... It's not proper for a betrothed lady to think that way about an Imperial officer! [Goes red]

[Benny tilts head]: Betrothed? But that was decades ago- And he-
[Sees her expression] Someone get Kimmy. Or Verviedi, or Marla or anyone with memory retrieval skills...

Kimmy. I'll get Kimmy.

*Jogs off to retrieve Kimmy*

OOC Be back in a bit just npc me BlackJack.

[Sits in Baneblade] Bridget, your fiancé was a very bad man. Please, listen to me. He sold your soul to Slaanesh to pay off his debts...

[Bridget blinks]: No! He wouldn't- You're just saying that so I'll- so you can- you're sick! He loved me... [Shoves Benny]

[Benny catches her hands] ...

[Bridget starts sobbing] [Rests her head against Benny's shoulder]: I know it's true... But I also want to hate you.

[Sighs and puts arm around her] [Pulls her close and stays there] Join the club.

OT: Actually, I'm rather surprised Kimmy didn't want to watch the fireworks...

...She's a psyker. She doesn't have eyes.

OOC: COULDA MENTIONED THAT SOONER

OT: What?!

*puts a finger into the vial and tastes it*
*shakes head and adds a few teeth into it*
*starts stirring it again before tasting it again*

There. Now drink this in slow gulps and I'll start making up the second batch.

[Bursts out laughing] Actually it's because she hates loud noises. She can see just fine. Unless it's me calling her to bed.

[Bridget looks up in confusion]

[Strokes her head gently] We... I mean I.. Have a young daughter named Kimmy. You helped raise her. Like she was your own.

OOC: Buttery you evil troll

BiC: Not funny Benny, I though I was losing it or something...

*Comes back with Kimmy*

*Clears a space so Kimmy can sit*

Sorry, things have been rough since Sebastian left to go to Terra. Okay, this is Kimmy. Kimmy, you know who this is, right?

Ooc: I was gonna stick with it and then remembered that she does colouring in, so that would make zero sense.

Psykers with no eyes see, but they don't see in the same spectrum as us.

*Does what BlackJack says without question*

OOC Ok I'm off for a while NPC TIME BABY!

[Kinmy nods]

[Bridget uncurls from crying into Benny's jacket]

[Kimmy reaches up and places a hand on Benny's forehead and Bridget's] [Their eyes all glow white, and time seems to slow around them]

[Small loading pinwheel replaces one of Benny's pupils]

*Watches everything happen*

*Starts searching around for clothes for Bridget*

*Looks at Bridget then back to self*

*Back at Bridget then back to self again*

Same size. Neat.

*Starts folding whatever clothes are clean, and puts them aside in a neat pile*
