*Curls up on the floor*

Leo: This hurts.... like really bad.

*Is now 5'5*

*Leo starts groaning in pain*

...Oh I'm going to regret this...

*Wipes face with towel and sits down*

*Maria gets message*
*comes out in a red a back more normal dress with the diamond tiara and combat boot*

Marla got the bad news.she,s .. She needs some time. Right now she,s a big mess. And I thought, I better not scare Bridget.

*goes over to babelade*
Bridget? You there. I'm Maria.

*Marla tries to run over to the pad to catch wk, after reading letter*

*Hears Maria*

Where's Marla and what happened?

*Looks at Horus*

Sorry, we'll do this another time, my (non-literal)girlfriend needs me.

*Walks past Maria*

Bridget is in the Butter tank with Benny. She got her memory back.

*Jogs off to find Marla*

*Quetz walks after Marla*

Quetz: I tried to stop him but he wouldn't... I couldn't


*OT jumps off the couch and huddles near Leonie*

OT: Shaper what did you do!?

Horus: Okay... I'm going to go beat up more Space Marines

Leo: GAAAH OWW JEZZZ.... GOD THIS STINGS LIKE A *Insert large amount of profanity*!

*Is now 5'8*

Leo: GAH WHEN WILL IT STOP!

*Jogs after Marla*

Marla! Wait! What happened?!

*Quetz is still following Marla trying to apologize for not physically restraining WK, turning his head around to look at Amelia he looks distressed and sad*

Quetz: WK got drafted, I couldn't talk him out of it

*Maria*
So not needed then. Unless you need a medical check up ?
Milo got drafted... Like no time to say goodbye, he just left a letter and took off.

Marla last I knew was near the PDF barracks or the old warehouse.

Again?! OH THAT DICK-HEAD!

*Finds Marla on a rampage at the PDF barracks*

Marla...I'm...I'm so sorry...

*Walks up to her and tries hugging her*

*Quetz is busy grabbing PDF recruits out of Marla's way*

Quetz: Marla please!

*Marla stops smashing empty crates and collapses into hug*
*crying* he said. .. It was go or die....then...i ran....ran... Managed to hold hands before it took off...then gone, they took off...

*slumps being held up by varden*
*hands note*
That's what I got....
*still sad marla*
I'm hardly setting you a good example. *weak laugh*

*Quetz hovers about unsure*

Quetz: I couldn't... he wouldn't... I mean...

*Holds Marla*

Here isn't the place to have this conversation. Come with me to the Baneblade, we have to talk serious talk.

*Slowly starts leading Marla to the Baneblade*

*Looks at Maria*

Can you come too?

Leo: GAAH GAK!

*Punches the floor*

Leo: H-How tall a-a-am I *winces*

*Is no 6'1*

*Quetz lands again and slinks off*

OT: You're about 6'2 and still growing...

(Maria) its my younger sister. Is that even a question right now?

*follows*
*Marla follows amelias prompts *
*nods*

Leo: H-HA SHOR- *spasms* FETH!

*Is now 6'5*

Leo: GOD H-HOW STRONG IS TH-THIS STUFF!

*Enters the Baneblade and sits Marla down on the bed*

*Sits next to her and throws a blanket over her shoulders*

Can I be 100% honest with you Marla?

*Ot sees Marla and company and considers going over to try and help but decides they've got it handled*

OT: We need to stop this, if you get too tall you'll start having problems, serious problems

*Marla nods a Maria holds her sister on the other side*
After all the times I've seen your guts, blood, naked, and recently naked in a plushy karken...

Yes. Just be honest.
*still looking sad*

Ooc I its medical.
Cal has to handle it.

Leo: Wh-what kind o-of *winces again* PROBLEMS!

*Is now 6'8*

*Groans*

He isn't worth all this pain. This is what, the second time he's left you when he had a choice, in what, 3 months? I don't think he's as good of an egg than you thought. He was a 'PDF' commander, and thus he doesn't have to go to war unless its in this sector, which there isn't. He had a choice to go against it, but he didn't. I really do not think he is worth all of this. I don't care what you say, but if I ever see that gak-kicker again, I will shoot him.

*Squeezes Marla*

I am not keeping anything back from you. That is my opinion, and I don't care if you don't like it, but I want you to know he isn't worth it.

*looks down at Leo*

I warned about the consequences. And my medicine is designed for my kindred, who are normally taller than the average gue'la.

OT: That's it, CAL!!

*Cal runs over*

Cal: Yeah what is it *Sees Leo* HOLY GAK! What happened!?

OT: The Shaper made her drink something. She's growing at a alarming rate

Cal: Crap, that idiot... he must've used... Okay, I know how to fix this, we just need to dilute the potion or end it's effects.
Leo drink this *hands her a bottle of water* I've got a counter in my office

OT: I'll get it, you stay and help her

Perenelle: Is there anything I can do?

*Marla nods*
Look I'm not angry at you. You told what you saw as truth. *hugs varden*
But he was always so nice, was thoughtful and took the PDF job so we could be together... Don,t know what to think... He has been so nice, yet leaves me like this...
*plays with wedding ring* is this as valuable to him as me?

I'm just....confused....
*marlas vox rings*
*checks * its dad, can you answer it please?

*Is now 7'0*

Leo: O-o-ok.

*Grabs bottle and tries to take drink but hands are shaking to much*

Leo: G-gak.

*Groans again*

*cocks head and looks angry*

Idiot? I used traditional medicines of my kindred. I had never promised exact results, and I warned her of the dangers. It didn't stop her, it didn't stop the guardsman either when he asked for a longer lifespan.

If it really did, do you think he would've left? If I was him, I wouldn't leave my wife or husband behind no matter what, and I'm sure Maria would do the same. He had a choice Marla, and he didn't choose you. He has left twice now, and the first time he didn't even have the decency to bloody leave a message or anything! Look, I know you love him, but he isn't for you. You deserve someone better than that lout.

*Strokes the back of Marla's head, then motions for Maria to help out*

Yes, of course. *Takes vox*

Hello? Marla's dad? Yes, its Amelia again. Yes, the Daemon. Look, now is a really bad time, so I think both Marla and I would appreciate it if you called back later. She is in no position to speak with you now.

*Cal pours the water down Leo's throat*

Cal: You are a idiot because you didn't tell me! I could have told you what this does to Humani! They don't stop growing!

*Ot comes back with several vials*

OT: I think it's this one but I wasn't sure

*hands vial to Cal*

Cal: You nailed it

*Pours 6 drops of the potion down Leo's throat*

Cal: There, that'll reverse most of it. You'll still be taller but not quite as tall as you are now

*Leo begins shrinking down to 5'10*
